life_n be_v give_v unto_o we_o of_o mercy_n then_o must_v we_o needs_o be_v altogether_o miserable_a before_o god_n but_o if_o they_o understand_v that_o the_o regenerate_v be_v not_o vile_a in_o

ought_v not_o to_o seem_v of_o so_o great_a force_n that_o they_o shall_v be_v sufficient_a unto_o eternal_a life_n and_o that_o come_v not_o through_o default_n of_o the_o gift_n but_o through_o our_o own_o default_n which_o in_o all_o thing_n obey_v they_o not_o for_o we_o still_o carry_v about_o in_o our_o flesh_n much_o of_o old_a adam_n and_o of_o natural_a corruption_n 20_o moreover_o

therefore_o predestination_n a_o more_o full_a definition_n of_o predestination_n that_o predestination_n be_v the_o most_o wise_a purpose_n of_o god_n whereby_o he_o have_v from_o the_o beginning_n constant_o decree_v to_o call_v all_o those_o who_o he_o have_v love_v in_o christ_n to_o the_o adoption_n of_o his_o child_n to_o justification_n by_o faith_n and_o at_o the_o length_n to_o glory_n

creator_n this_o definition_n as_o i_o think_v comprehend_v all_o thing_n that_o perteine_a to_o the_o nature_n of_o predestination_n and_o all_o the_o part_n thereof_o may_v be_v prove_v by_o the_o holy_a scripture_n predestination_n purpose_n be_v common_a to_o reprobation_n and_o predestination_n first_o we_o take_v purpose_n for_o the_o general_a word_n for_o that_o word_n be_v common_a both_o to_o predestination_n and_o reprobation_n 11._o ephes_n 1_o 5._o rom._n 9_o 11._o paul_n unto_o the_o ephesian_n say_v that_o we_o be_v predestinate_a according_a to_o the_o purpose_n of_o god_n and_o in_o the_o epistle_n to_o the_o roman_n he_o say_v that_o the_o purpose_n may_v abide_v according_a to_o election_n but_o what_o this_o purpose_n be_v we_o understand_v by_o the_o first_o chapter_n unto_o the_o ephesian_n for_o there_o it_o be_v thus_o write_v that_o god_n have_v predestine_v we_o according_a to_o his_o good_a pleasure_n by_o these_o word_n it_o be_v manifest_a will_n the_o purpose_n of_o god_n be_v his_o good_a pleasure_n purpose_n pertain_v to_o the_o will_n that_o that_o be_v call_v his_o good_a pleasure_n which_o paul_n afterward_o call_v purpose_n and_o that_o this_o purpose_n pertain_v unto_o the_o will_n those_o thing_n which_o afterward_o follow_v do_v declare_v by_o who_o power_n say_v he_o god_n work_v all_o thing_n according_a to_o the_o counsel_n of_o his_o will_n god_n the_o mighty_a will_n of_o god_n but_o by_o this_o will_v we_o ought_v to_o understand_v that_o will_n which_o be_v effectual_a which_o they_o call_v consequent_a whereby_o be_v bring_v to_o pass_v that_o the_o predestination_n of_o god_n be_v not_o frustrate_v this_o purpose_n we_o call_v most_o wise_a because_o god_n do_v nothing_o rash_o or_o by_o chance_n but_o all_o thing_n with_o most_o great_a wisdom_n therefore_o the_o apostle_n join_v predestination_n together_o with_o foreknowledge_n say_v 28._o rom._n 8_o 28._o who_o he_o have_v foreknow_v those_o have_v he_o predestinate_a the_o purpose_n of_o god_n from_o the_o beginning_n this_o be_v therefore_o add_v thing_n predestination_n be_v no_o new_a thing_n because_o predestination_n be_v no_o new_a thing_n neither_o such_o as_o many_o fain_a that_o go_v not_o before_o thing_n

of_o the_o sign_n namely_o when_o by_o his_o prophet_n he_o declare_v unto_o man_n either_o what_o their_o sin_n have_v deserve_v or_o what_o hang_v over_o their_o head_n by_o reason_n of_o natural_a

son_n of_o god_n this_o image_n indeed_o be_v begin_v in_o we_o by_o regeneration_n when_o we_o be_v justify_v and_o in_o they_o that_o be_v of_o full_a age_n it_o grow_v daily_o to_o perfection_n

this_o be_v the_o last_o end_n of_o predestination_n shadow_v unto_o we_o by_o paul_n in_o the_o similitude_n of_o the_o potter_n which_o have_v power_n to_o make_v one_o vessel_n to_o honour_n and_o

how_o fowlie_o they_o be_v deceive_v which_o live_v wicked_o and_o yet_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n boast_v that_o they_o be_v predestinate_a for_o the_o scripture_n teach_v that_o man_n according_a

his_o effect_n for_o this_o be_v utterlie_o to_o be_v ignorant_a what_o predestination_n be_v and_o impudent_o to_o go_v about_o to_o abuse_v it_o 13_o now_o that_o we_o have_v severallie_o after_o this_o manner_n examine_v this_o definition_n by_o his_o part_n let_v we_o gather_v thereout_o certain_a thing_n not_o unprofitable_a first_o this_o that_o predestination_n be_v a_o work_n of_o god_n and_o be_v to_o be_v place_v in_o the_o purpose_n of_o god_n god_n predestination_n be_v not_o in_o the_o thing_n but_o in_o the_o mind_n of_o god_n for_o although_o man_n be_v say_v to_o be_v predestinate_a yet_o must_v we_o not_o appoint_v predestination_n in_o they_o so_o likewise_o thing_n be_v say_v to_o be_v perceive_v &_o know_v when_o as_o yet_o in_o they_o be_v neither_o

predestinate_v man_n which_o as_o yet_o have_v no_o be_v for_o of_o relative_n some_o be_v such_o that_o of_o necessity_n the_o one_o can_v be_v but_o together_o with_o the_o other_o as_o a_o father_n

can_v not_o be_v give_v unless_o the_o correlative_n as_o they_o call_v they_o be_v also_o express_v predestinate_a the_o end_n of_o
that_o god_n have_v purpose_v that_o he_o will_v not_o have_v mercy_n howbeit_o they_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o damnation_n which_o follow_v in_o the_o last_o time_n but_o not_o of_o reprobation_n which_o be_v from_o the_o beginning_n the_o last_o end_n of_o reprobation_n be_v the_o declaration_n of_o the_o mighty_a justice_n of_o god_n as_o paul_n have_v teach_v 17._o rom._n 9_o 17._o namely_o
