themselves_o yet_o notwithstanding_o sometime_o when_o need_n require_v the_o scripture_n to_o make_v more_o manifest_a by_o this_o comparison_n the_o great_a power_n of_o god_n his_o patience_n and_o the_o riches_n of_o his_o glory_n towards_o the_o vessel_n of_o mercy_n 13_o lead_v we_o unto_o this_o high_a secret_a which_o by_o order_n be_v the_o first_o cause_n of_o their_o damnation_n of_o the_o which_o secret_a no_o other_o cause_n be_v know_v to_o man_n scripture_n but_o only_o his_o just_a will_n which_o we_o must_v with_o all_o reverence_n obey_v as_o come_v from_o he_o who_o be_v only_o just_a and_o can_v by_o any_o mean_n nor_o of_o any_o man_n in_o any_o sort_n be_v comprehend_v 14._o for_o we_o must_v put_v difference_n betwixt_o the_o purpose_n or_o ordinance_n of_o reprobation_n and_o reprobation_n itself_o because_o god_n will_v that_o the_o secret_a of_o this_o his_o purpose_n shall_v be_v keep_v close_o from_o we_o &_o again_o we_o have_v the_o cause_n of_o reprobation_n &_o damnation_n which_o depend_v thereof_o express_v in_o god_n word_n that_o be_v to_o say_v corruption_n lack_v of_o faith_n and_o iniquity_n which_o as_o they_o be_v necessary_a so_o be_v they_o also_o voluntary_a in_o the_o vessel_n make_v to_o dishonour_v 15_o like_v as_o on_o the_o other_o part_n when_o we_o describe_v orderly_o the_o cause_n of_o the_o salvation_n of_o the_o elect_a we_o put_v difference_n betwixt_o the_o purpose_n of_o elect_v which_o god_n have_v determine_v in_o himself_o and_o the_o election_n which_o be_v appoint_v in_o christ_n in_o such_o sort_n that_o this_o his_o purpose_n or_o ordinance_n do_v not_o only_o go_v before_o election_n in_o the_o degree_n of_o cause_n but_o also_o before_o all_o other_o thing_n that_o follow_v the_o same_o 16._o chap._n iii_o how_o god_n put_v in_o execution_n his_o eternal_a counsel_n aswell_o towards_o the_o elect_a as_o the_o reprobate_n the_o lord_n god_n that_o he_o may_v put_v in_o execution_n evil_a this_o eternal_a counsel_n to_o his_o glory_n prepare_v away_o according_a to_o his_o infinite_a wisdom_n indifferent_a both_o to_o those_o that_o he_o will_v choose_v and_o those_o also_o which_o he_o will_v refuse_v for_o when_o he_o determine_v to_o show_v his_o infinite_a mercy_n in_o the_o salvation_n of_o the_o elect_a and_o also_o his_o just_a judgement_n in_o the_o condemnation_n of_o the_o reprobate_n it_o be_v necessary_a that_o he_o shall_v shut_v up_o both_o under_o disobedience_n &_o sin_n to_o show_v his_o mercy_n to_o all_o 1_o those_o that_o believe_v 2._o that_o be_v to_o say_v to_o the_o elect_a because_o faith_n be_v a_o gift_n of_o god_n which_o proper_o belong_v unto_o they_o 3_o and_o contrariwise_o to_o have_v just_a cause_n to_o condemn_v they_o to_o who_o it_o be_v not_o give_v to_o believe_v 4._o nor_o to_o know_v god_n mystery_n 5._o therefore_o god_n do_v this_o in_o such_o sort_n and_o with_o such_o wisdom_n that_o the_o whole_a fault_n of_o the_o reprobate_n damnation_n lie_v in_o themselves_o and_o on_o the_o other_o side_n all_o the_o glory_n and_o praise_n of_o the_o elect_v salvation_n belong_v whole_o to_o his_o only_a mercy_n for_o he_o do_v not_o create_v man_n a_o sinner_n for_o then_o he_o shall_v man_n have_v be_v with_o reverend_a fear_n be_v it_o speak_v the_o author_n of_o sin_n which_o afterward_o he_o can_v not_o justly_o have_v punish_v but_o rather_o he_o make_v he_o after_o his_o own_o image_n 6_o to_o wit_n in_o innocence_n purity_n &_o holiness_n who_o notwithstanding_o without_o constraint_n of_o any_o neither_o yet_o force_v by_o any_o necessity_n of_o concupiscence_n as_o touch_v his_o will_n which_o as_o yet_o be_v not_o make_v servant_n unto_o sin_n 8_o corruption_n willing_o and_o of_o his_o own_o accord_n rebel_v against_o god_n bind_v by_o this_o mean_n the_o whole_a nature_n of_o man_n to_o sin_n and_o so_o consequent_o to_o the_o death_n of_o body_n &_o soul_n 9_o yet_o we_o must_v confess_v that_o this_o fall_n come_v not_o by_o chance_n god_n or_o fortune_n see_v his_o providence_n do_v stretch_v forth_o itself_o even_o to_o the_o small_a thing_n 10_o neither_o can_v we_o say_v that_o any_o thing_n do_v happen_v that_o god_n know_v not_o or_o care_v not_o for_o except_o we_o will_v fall_v into_o the_o opinion_n of_o the_o epicure_n from_o the_o which_o god_n preserve_v we_o neither_o yet_o by_o any_o bare_a or_o idle_a permission_n or_o sufferance_n which_o be_v separate_v from_o his_o will_n and_o sure_a determination_n for_o see_v he_o have_v appoint_v the_o end_n it_o be_v necessary_a also_o that_o he_o shall_v appoint_v the_o cause_n which_o lead_v we_o to_o the_o same_o end_n unless_o we_o affirm_v with_o the_o wicked_a manichee_n that_o this_o end_n happen_v at_o all_o adventure_n or_o by_o mean_n of_o cause_n ordain_v by_o some_o other_o god_n further_o more_o we_o can_v think_v that_o any_o thing_n happen_v contrary_a to_o god_n will_v except_o we_o deny_v blasphemous_o that_o he_o be_v omnipotent_a &_o almighty_a as_o saint_n augustine_n note_v plain_o in_o his_o book_n de_fw-fr correptione_n &_o gratia_fw-la chap_n 104._o we_o conclude_v 99_o therefore_o that_o this_o full_a of_o adam_n do_v so_o proceed_v of_o the_o motion_n of_o his_o will_n that_o notwithstanding_o it_o happen_v not_o without_o the_o will_n of_o god_n who_o it_o please_v by_o a_o marvellous_a and_o incomprehensible_a mean_n that_o the_o thing_n which_o he_o do_v not_o allow_v for_o asmuch_o as_o it_o be_v sin_n shall_v not_o happen_v without_o his_o will_n and_o this_o be_v do_v as_o we_o say_v before_o that_o he_o may_v show_v the_o riches_n of_o his_o glory_n towards_o the_o vessel_n of_o mercy_n and_o his_o wrath_n and_o power_n upon_o those_o vessel_n which_o he_o have_v make_v to_o set_v forth_o his_o glory_n by_o their_o shame_n &_o confusion_n 12._o for_o the_o final_a end_n of_o god_n counsel_n be_v neither_o the_o salvation_n of_o the_o elect_a nor_o the_o damnation_n of_o the_o reprobate_n but_o the_o set_n forth_o of_o his_o own_o glory_n in_o save_v the_o one_o by_o his_o mercy_n and_o condemn_v the_o other_o by_o his_o just_a judgement_n then_o to_o avoid_v all_o these_o blasphemy_n unto_o the_o which_o the_o infirmity_n of_o our_o wit_n do_v draw_v we_o let_v we_o confess_v that_o the_o corruption_n of_o the_o principal_a work_n that_o god_n have_v make_v which_o be_v man_n be_v not_o happen_v by_o chance_n nor_o without_o the_o will_n of_o he_o who_o according_a to_o his_o incomprehensible_a wisdom_n do_v make_v and_o govern_v all_o thing_n to_o his_o glory_n albeit_o we_o must_v confess_v in_o despite_n of_o man_n judgement_n which_o be_v limit_v in_o the_o begin_n within_o a_o certain_a compass_n and_o after_o be_v miserable_o corrupt_v that_o the_o whole_a fault_n of_o his_o damnation_n lie_v in_o man_n forasmuch_o as_o betwixt_o the_o secret_a and_o incomprehensible_a will_n of_o god_n and_o that_o corruption_n of_o man_n nature_n which_o be_v the_o very_a first_o occasion_n of_o the_o reprobate_n damnation_n the_o god_n will_n of_o the_o first_o man_n be_v a_o mean_a which_o be_v

to_o show_v mercy_n and_o if_o they_o will_v yet_o object_v and_o cavil_v say_v that_o they_o can_v resist_v the_o will_n of_o god_n 13_o let_v we_o suffer_v they_o to_o their_o own_o destruction_n to_o plead_v against_o he_o who_o will_v be_v able_a enough_o to_o defend_v his_o justice_n against_o their_o quarrel_v let_v we_o rather_o reverence_v that_o which_o pass_v the_o reach_n and_o
