he_o may_v not_o he_o can_v torment_v the_o good_a angel_n that_o sin_v not_o but_o he_o will_v not_o if_o he_o can_v not_o do_v so_o he_o be_v not_o omnipotent_a if_o he_o shall_v he_o be_v not_o just_a i_o will_v therefore_o reverence_v that_o power_n which_o can_v do_v what_o he_o will_v but_o will_v not_o do_v all_o that_o he_o can_v ii_o god_n may_v just_o annihilate_v the_o good_a angel_n though_o just_o he_o can_v punish_v they_o he_o can_v not_o be_v unjust_a in_o take_v that_o nature_n from_o they_o which_o he_o free_o bestow_v and_o he_o can_v not_o be_v just_a in_o inflict_v a_o

because_o he_o be_v true_a he_o must_v do_v what_o be_v just_a because_o he_o be_v good_a i_o will_v claim_v heaven_n as_o my_o due_n not_o because_o i_o merit_v it_o but_o because_o he_o promise_v it_o his_o own_o goodness_n have_v tie_v he_o to_o give_v it_o though_o my_o sin_n may_v deter_v i_o from_o beg_v it_o four_o if_o my_o adoption_n be_v the_o end_n of_o predestination_n by_o which_o

god_n prescience_n be_v of_o a_o large_a extent_n than_o his_o predestination_n for_o he_o foreknow_v or_o foresee_v both_o good_a and_o evil_a but_o he_o predestinate_v good_a only_o he_o foresee_v

like_o he_o to_o foresee_v evil_a and_o hate_v it_o to_o resolve_v only_o upon_o good_a and_o do_v it_o vii_o god_n decree_n be_v in_o our_o power_n and_o our_o power_n be_v in_o his_o decree_n they_o be_v in_o we_o as_o cause_n in_o their_o effect_n we_o be_v in_o he_o as_o effect_n in_o their_o cause_n it_o be_v by_o his_o decree_n that_o we_o have_v power_n it_o be_v not_o by_o our_o power_n that_o he_o decree_v decree_v its_o in_o our_o power_n to_o perform_v his_o decree_n but_o this_o power_n we_o have_v by_o his_o decree_n lord_n if_o thou_o have_v decree_v my_o obedience_n give_v i_o power_n of_o performance_n and_o so_o thy_o decree_n shall_v be_v in_o my_o power_n not_o that_o thou_o do_v decree_v because_o thou_o know_v i_o will_v obey_v but_o i_o will_v obey_v because_o i_o know_v thou_o have_v decree_v viii_o god_n have_v decree_v to_o give_v we_o faith_n and_o he_o have_v decree_v to_o justify_v we_o by_o that_o faith_n by_o the_o former_a decree_n he_o make_v we_o his_o son_n by_o the_o other_o he_o acquit_v we_o of_o our_o sin_n lord_n if_o thou_o have_v decree_v to_o make_v i_o thy_o son_n bestow_v faith_n on_o i_o if_o thou_o have_v decree_v to_o blot_v

faith_n and_o holiness_n be_v grace_n by_o which_o we_o attain_v to_o happiness_n but_o god_n love_n be_v that_o grace_n by_o which_o we_o obtain_v faith_n and_o holiness_n as_o the_o action_n follow_v the_o quality_n so_o god_n decree_n follow_v this_o first_o grace_n but_o other_o grace_n come_v after_o his_o decree_n it_o be_v by_o his_o decree_n that_o we_o have_v any_o grace_n it_o be_v by_o his_o grace_n that_o he_o be_v please_v to_o decree_v lord_n as_o the_o grace_n of_o thy_o love_n make_v thou_o to_o decree_v my_o happiness_n so_o make_v the_o love_n of_o thy_o grace_n in_o i_o increase_v that_o i_o may_v enjoy_v this_o happiness_n xi_o god_n do_v so_o determine_v the_o action_n of_o the_o will_n that_o sometime_o he_o bend_v it_o to_o what_o he_o please_v and_o
