B04886	No power but of God, and yet a power in every creature, or, A word in season, to all men not void of grace, or deprived of reason wherein is held forth that the Almighty God is not wanting to us in impowering of us, but we are wanting to him, in not improving our talent for him ... / by Robert Purnel.

point_n the_o arminian_o err_v say_v election_n and_o salvation_n in_o effect_n depend_v upon_o qualification_n yea_o for_o want_n of_o the_o true_a knowledge_n of_o this_o point_n do_v that_o error_n of_o freewill_n and_o general_n redemption_n so_o abound_v at_o this_o day_n in_o a_o word_n for_o want_v of_o the_o knowledge_n of_o this_o point_n do_v so_o many_o at_o this_o time_n in_o this_o

2._o here_o be_v another_o cheat_n of_o satan_n wherein_o he_o endeavour_v to_o cheat_v thou_o and_o i_o in_o the_o doctrine_n of_o christ_n the_o doctrine_n of_o christ_n tell_v thou_o that_o

to_o reconcile_v god_n to_o thou_o and_o so_o endeavour_v to_o make_v the_o immutable_a god_n mutable_a or_o the_o unchangeable_a god_n changeable_a you_o may_v trace_v he_o in_o every_o branch_n of_o

something_o to_o it_o or_o take_v something_o from_o it_o wherefore_o put_v on_o the_o whole_a armour_n of_o god_n stand_v upon_o thy_o guard_n and_o watch_v believe_v not_o every_o spirit_n but_o try_v the_o spirit_n whether_o they_o be_v of_o god_n 2._o again_o as_o first_o he_o endeavour_v to_o cheat_v we_o in_o the_o doctrine_n of_o christ_n so_o second_o he_o endeavour_n to_o cheat_v we_o in_o the_o discipline_n of_o christ_n now_o discipline_n though_o it_o be_v not_o of_o absolute_a necessity_n as_o to_o the_o be_v of_o a_o church_n of_o christ_n yet_o it_o be_v absolute_o

you_o shall_v find_v the_o apostle_n so_o frequent_o exhort_v persuade_v and_o entreat_v the_o church_n of_o jesus_n christ_n to_o walk_v by_o rule_n to_o observe_v order_n the_o pastor_n be_v
