A19650	An apologie, or defence, of those Englishe writers [and] preachers which Cerberus the three headed dog of hell, chargeth wyth false doctrine, vnder the name of predestination.

their_o doctrine_n which_o thing_n if_o you_o diligent_o weigh_v and_o consider_v read_v the_o same_o without_o partiality_n then_o have_v i_o my_o desire_n crowley_n i_o be_o glad_a that_o cerberus_n

up_o of_o y_z e_z matter_n he_o have_v find_v one_o part_n of_o doctrine_n hang_v upon_o the_o article_n of_o god_n eternal_a predestination_n which_o be_v to_o be_v mislike_v of_o all_o man_n if_o cerberus_n be_v not_o deceyve_v and_o that_o be_v that_o as_o the_o only_a will_n &_o purpose_n of_o god_n be_v the_o chief_a cause_n of_o election_n and_o reprobation_n so_o his_o free_a mercy_n in_o christ_n be_v a_o inferior_a cause_n of_o salvation_n etc._n etc._n here_o cerberus_n do_v of_o purpose_n leave_v out_o the_o end_n of_o that_o gloze_n shut_v up_o the_o matter_n with_o he_o etc._n etc._n i_o will_v therefore_o set_v down_o the_o word_n that_o follow_v which_o be_v these_o and_o the_o harden_v of_o the_o heart_n a_o inferior_a cause_n of_o damnation_n now_o this_o gloze_n be_v some_o thing_n more_o plain_a than_o it_o be_v before_o as_o cerberus_n have_v cite_v it_o with_o he_o etc._n etc._n he_o think_v belike_o that_o the_o bible_n wherein_o he_o find_v this_o gloze_n be_v not_o in_o every_o man_n hand_n and_o therefore_o he_o etc._n etc._n shall_v cause_v man_n to_o think_v that_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o gloze_n must_v be_v as_o good_a stuff_n as_o he_o think_v the_o first_o part_n to_o be_v that_o be_v worthy_a to_o be_v mislike_v of_o all_o man_n import_v a_o sophistical_a search_n of_o bottomless_a secret_n and_o draw_v from_o christ_n such_o shift_n do_v cerberus_n use_v to_o make_v man_n mislike_v with_o that_o which_o he_o himself_o like_v not_o but_o to_o prove_v this_o part_n of_o doctrine_n to_o be_v such_o as_o cerberus_n assirm_v it_o to_o be_v he_o use_v two_o reason_n one_o be_v that_o the_o eternal_a purpose_n of_o god_n spring_v out_o of_o his_o free_a mercy_n in_o christ_n wherefore_o that_o free_a mercy_n can_v be_v inferior_a to_o god_n eternal_a purpose_n more_o than_o the_o fountain_n from_o which_o stream_n of_o water_n do_v slow_a can_v be_v inferior_a to_o the_o stream_n that_o flow_v from_o it_o the_o other_o be_v of_o the_o mediation_n of_o christ_n for_o if_o god_n do_v in_o his_o eternal_a will_n and_o purpose_n elect_v we_o before_o christ_n have_v appease_v his_o wrath_n by_o his_o mediation_n then_o be_v it_o but_o a_o vain_a thing_n for_o christ_n to_o be_v a_o mediator_n neither_o have_v we_o any_o need_n of_o his_o mediation_n although_o i_o will_v glad_o content_v myself_o to_o have_v defend_v my_o own_o writing_n and_o other_o man_n wherewith_o cerberus_n find_v fault_n even_o with_o as_o few_o word_n as_o he_o use_v in_o purge_v himself_o and_o other_o of_o that_o which_o his_o friend_n lay_v to_o his_o charge_n yet_o may_v i_o not_o so_o short_o slip_v over_o this_o matter_n wherewith_o cerberus_n have_v shut_v up_o his_o answer_n for_o if_o cerberus_n will_v have_v seek_v how_o to_o have_v set_v forth_o to_o be_v see_v his_o own_o wilful_a ignorance_n and_o error_n in_o the_o chief_a point_n of_o our_o religion_n he_o can_v not_o have_v find_v a_o better_a mean_v than_o he_o have_v use_v in_o these_o two_o reason_n that_o he_o make_v against_o the_o doctrine_n contain_v in_o the_o gloze_n wherewith_o he_o mislike_v for_o what_o great_a error_n can_v there_o be_v than_o to_o hold_v that_o with_o god_n there_o be_v time_n past_a and_o time_n to_o come_v and_o that_o any_o of_o the_o essential_a property_n of_o god_n do_v spring_n out_o of_o other_o in_o time_n as_o though_o there_o have_v be_v or_o can_v have_v be_v a_o time_n wherein_o god_n lack_v those_o property_n or_o that_o the_o son_n of_o god_n the_o second_o person_n in_o trinity_n shall_v in_o his_o divine_a nature_n in_o time_n make_v mediation_n to_o god_n the_o father_n that_o thereby_o he_o may_v purpose_v to_o save_v man_n who_o he_o be_v before_o purpose_v to_o destroy_v for_o strive_v

be_v a_o inferior_a cause_n of_o salvation_n etc._n etc._n he_o say_v that_o the_o purpose_n or_o will_n of_o god_n to_o save_v we_o must_v needs_o spring_v out_o of_o the_o free_a mercy_n of_o god_n and_o that_o therefore_o the_o will_n or_o purpose_n of_o god_n in_o save_v must_v of_o force_n be_v inferior_a to_o his_o mercy_n even_o as_o stream_n that_o issue_n from_o fountain_n be_v inferior_a to_o the_o fountain_n that_o they_o come_v from_o and_o to_o prove_v this_o he_o cit_v the_o word_n of_o ecclesiasticus_fw-la the._n 2._o chapter_n secundum_fw-la enim_fw-la magnitudinem_fw-la
