A37722	Baptismes in their verity: or, The baptisme of John, and the baptisme of Christ what they are in truth, as they are described in the scriptures of truth.

his_o first_o lose_v son_n and_o abel_n who_o sacrifice_n therefore_o he_o accept_v adam_n and_o all_o his_o posterity_n will_v have_v perish_v for_o ever_o but_o god_n foresee_v all_o thing_n and_o

to_o be_v conform_v to_o the_o image_n of_o his_o son_n jesus_n christ_n his_o first_o bear_v and_o who_o he_o so_o predestinate_v they_o he_o in_o his_o due_a time_n call_v give_v they_o repentance_n and_o who_o he_o so_o call_v they_o he_o justify_v through_o faith_n and_o who_o he_o justify_v they_o he_o glorify_v as_o it_o be_v write_v rom._n 8.28_o 29._o and_o as_o god_n do_v thus_o call_v and_o justify_v his_o choose_a to_o paul_n time_n so_o have_v he_o do_v ever_o since_o and_o will_v do_v to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n that_o his_o number_n may_v be_v fill_v and_o they_o that_o

that_o god_n do_v predestine_v the_o other_o to_o do_v wicked_o and_o so_o to_o perish_v nay_o that_o follow_v not_o neither_o do_v he_o so_o any_o more_o than_o he_o do_v decree_v the_o fall_n and_o sin_n of_o adam_n and_o so_o man_n destruction_n for_o then_o god_n must_v be_v the_o author_n and_o cause_n thereof_o as_o he_o be_v of_o grace_n and_o salvation_n which_o may_v not_o once_o be_v think_v neither_o have_v we_o any_o more_o reason_n to_o charge_n god_n with_o unmercifulnesse_n in_o not_o save_v all_o man_n by_o the_o new_a birth_n from_o above_o in_o and_z through_o christ_n then_o we_o have_v for_o his_o not_o keep_v adam_n from_o fall_v and_o save_v all_o that_o way_n it_o be_v true_a and_o it_o must_v be_v acknowledge_v that_o god_n can_v have_v do_v so_o and_o that_o he_o can_v also_o have_v keep_v those_o angel_n which_o fall_v if_o it_o have_v be_v the_o good_a pleasure_n of_o his_o will_n as_o it_o be_v not_o shall_v we_o therefore_o charge_v god_n with_o unmercifulnesse_n because_o he_o do_v not_o keep_v they_o and_o so_o have_v save_v all_o both_o man_n and_o angel_n or_o shall_v we_o make_v his_o not_o keep_v they_o the_o cause_n of_o their_o fall_n sin_n and_o destruction_n who_o dare_v do_v so_o or_o have_v such_o a_o thought_n nay_o satan_n himself_o know_v it_o to_o be_v otherwise_o and_o that_o their_o fall_n and_o destruction_n be_v of_o themselves_o and_o man_n also_o of_o themselves_o through_o his_o eavie_a against_o they_o his_o malice_n and_o lie_n neither_o do_v god_n ever_o harden_v the_o heart_n of_o any_o man_n that_o he_o shall_v not_o repent_v and_o believe_v the_o gospel_n and_o be_v save_v or_o bind_v their_o will_n or_o power_n therefrom_o by_o any_o decree_n or_o work_v of_o he_o at_o any_o time_n nay_o let_v all_o man_n fear_v to_o think_v such_o a_o thing_n and_o know_v that_o it_o be_v his_o own_o hardness_n of_o heart_n and_o evilnesse_n of_o will_n that_o hinder_v he_o but_o this_o be_v true_a that_o god_n do_v give_v some_o man_n up_o to_o their_o own_o hardness_n of_o heart_n such_o as_o have_v know_v god_n and_o taste_v of_o his_o bountifulness_n and_o goodness_n which_o lead_v they_o to_o
