thus_o if_o the_o sovereignty_n of_o god_n in_o deny_v i_o any_o one_o common_a mercy_n be_v the_o ground_n which_o make_v i_o quiet_a and_o still_o in_o want_n of_o it_o then_o if_o god_n pleasure_n be_v to_o deny_v i_o another_o common_a mercy_n upon_o the_o same_o ground_n i_o will_v still_o be_v quiet_a so_o there_o may_v be_v some_o use_n of_o what_o be_v add_v be_v that_o hate_v sin_n as_o sin_n hate_v all_o sin_n for_o all_o sin_n be_v of_o the_o same_o nature_n transgression_n of_o the_o law_n enmity_n against_o god_n so_o all_o common_a mercy_n as_o common_a be_v of_o the_o same_o

with_o the_o will_n of_o god_n in_o deny_v i_o common_a mercy_n ergo_fw-la i_o must_v be_v quiet_a content_v with_o the_o will_n of_o god_n though_o he_o deny_v i_o special_a mercy_n will_v never_o

reason_n express_v and_o none_o but_o this_o that_o the_o pleasure_n of_o god_n do_v much_o and_o aught_o to_o do_v much_o among_o christian_n i_o deny_v not_o but_o that_o this_o must_v be_v the_o sole_a reason_n as_o if_o no_o other_o reason_n shall_v quiet_v we_o i_o understand_v not_o this_o divinity_n with_o his_o leave_n i_o shall_v give_v he_o other_o reason_n why_o i_o be_o content_a and_o quiet_a though_o god_n deni_v i_o some_o common_a mercy_n since_o it_o be_v his_o pleasore_n free_o to_o give_v i_o himself_o his_o christ_n his_o love_n his_o grace_n his_o pardon_n and_o peace_n which_o be_v sure_a mercy_n therefore_o i_o desire_v to_o be_v quiet_a and_o content_a though_o he_o have_v deny_v i_o many_o common_a mercy_n and_o let_v i_o say_v this_o with_o honour_n yet_o to_o that_o holy_a man_n that_o the_o will_n be_v a_o most_o hungry_a appetite_n and_o good_a be_v the_o meat_n that_o must_v satisfy_v it_o and_o this_o be_v god_n own_o work_n to_o make_v

counterpoize_n nay_o overcome_a and_o conquer_a that_o good_a and_o what_o be_v that_o but_o god_n himself_o in_o christ_n sovereignty_n do_v not_o satisfy_v the_o appetite_n in_o itself_o simple_o
