you_o will_v prove_v election_n to_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o faith_n unto_o all_o which_o i_o shall_v speak_v joint_o and_o make_v the_o shame_n of_o they_o appear_v to_o all_o man_n that_o read_v they_o and_o herein_o i_o must_v be_v diametrial_o oppose_v against_o you_o because_o you_o bring_v in_o such_o a_o hysteron_fw-gr proteron_fw-gr the_o cart_n before_o the_o horse_n that_o i_o must_v

good_a work_n the_o cause_n of_o our_o election_n or_o god_n choose_v of_o we_o 1._o i_o prove_v it_o by_o scripture_n 2._o i_o prove_v it_o from_o the_o nature_n of_o cause_n 3._o from_o the_o

you_o hold_v than_o reprobation_n must_v be_v a_o cause_n of_o sin_n and_o damnation_n and_o so_o god_n bless_v for_o ever_o will_v be_v make_v not_o only_o a_o tempter_n to_o but_o a_o cause_n yea_o

so_o far_o from_o be_v accessary_a to_o sin_n and_o do_v so_o many_o thing_n to_o hinder_v it_o that_o he_o do_v not_o so_o much_o as_o permit_v it_o but_o in_o a_o equitable_a sense_n and_o among_o many_o reason_n that_o may_v be_v give_v i_o will_v content_v myself_o with_o this_o one_o which_o seem_v to_o i_o the_o best_a that_o which_o assign_v to_o every_o thing_n the_o kind_n that_o which_o moderate_v the_o power_n and_o appoint_v the_o form_n and_o measure_n of_o work_v that_o we_o proper_o call_v a_o law_n hence_o the_o being_n of_o god_n be_v a_o kind_n of_o law_n to_o his_o work_n because_o that_o perfection_n which_o god_n be_v give_v perfection_n to_o that_o he_o do_v so_o that_o he_o be_v nothing_o but_o what_o be_v good_a he_o can_v work_v nothing_o that_o be_v otherwise_o it_o be_v therefore_o a_o error_n say_v judicious_a mr._n hooker_n to_o think_v that_o there_o be_v no_o reason_n for_o the_o work_n of_o god_n beside_o his_o absolute_a will_n though_o no_o reason_n be_v know_v to_o we_o for_o the_o apostle_n tell_v he_o work_v all_o thing_n not_o simple_o and_o mere_o according_a to_o his_o will_n but_o {non-roman}_o {non-roman}_o {non-roman}_o {non-roman}_o {non-roman}_o according_a to_o the_o counsel_n of_o his_o will_n and_o because_o he_o do_v voluntary_o set_v himself_o a_o law_n whereby_o to_o work_v it_o follow_v that_o that_o law_n be_v no_o abatement_n to_o his_o freedom_n if_o therefore_o he_o be_v please_v to_o set_v himself_o a_o law_n or_o rule_n not_o to_o reprobate_a any_o but_o upon_o pre-science_n or_o foreknowledge_n of_o sin_n because_o that_o be_v most_o conformable_a to_o the_o nature_n of_o his_o goodness_n can_v this_o be_v any_o prejudice_n to_o the_o perfection_n of_o his_o be_v be_v his_o nature_n the_o less_o absolute_a because_o it_o please_v he_o that_o his_o will_v be_v conditional_a in_o some_o thing_n as_o it_o be_v absolute_a in_o other_o do_v he_o lose_v any_o prerogative_n by_o be_v unable_a to_o be_v the_o author_n of_o sin_n we_o be_v god_n creature_n but_o sin_n be_v we_o god_n see_v every_o thing_n that_o he_o have_v make_v and_o behold_v it_o be_v very_o good_a we_o see_v the_o thing_n that_o be_v make_v by_o the_o fiat_fw-la of_o our_o will_n and_o behold_v they_o be_v very_o evil_a this_o creative_a power_n of_o we_o we_o just_o reckon_v as_o the_o sequel_n of_o human_a weakness_n and_o shall_v we_o heedless_o affirm_v it_o to_o be_v a_o jewel_n in_o the_o glorious_a diadem_n of_o god_n almightiness_n let_v this_o be_v serious_o consider_v three_o i_o shall_v prove_v it_o from_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o thing_n that_o election_n be_v not_o the_o cause_n of_o faith_n and_o good_a work_n etc._n etc._n but_o contrary_a faith_n and_o good_a work_n of_o election_n this_o shall_v be_v prove_v and_o illustrate_v by_o these_o five_o consideration_n first_o of_o all_o i_o consider_v that_o there_o be_v no_o salvation_n but_o only_o to_o such_o as_o be_v find_v to_o be_v in_o christ_n jesus_n in_o the_o day_n of_o death_n and_o of_o judgement_n which_o no_o man_n live_a can_v be_v unless_o he_o be_v qualify_v with_o such_o condition_n as_o without_o which_o it_o be_v impossible_a to_o be_v so_o find_v such_o as_o be_v faith_n repentance_n obedience_n and_o perseverance_n in_o well_o do_v unto_o the_o end_n that_o god_n will_v save_v none_o but_o such_o be_v all_o man_n confession_n and_o that_o he_o save_v none_o but_o such_o as_o he_o decree_v to_o save_v be_v as_o plain_a therefore_o none_o but_o such_o be_v the_o object_n of_o such_o decree_n for_o if_o he_o decree_v to_o save_v any_o without_o respect_n to_o their_o be_v such_o he_o may_v actual_o save_v they_o without_o regard_n to_o their_o be_v such_o because_o whatsoever_o be_v just_o decree_v may_v be_v just_o execute_v as_o it_o be_v decree_v but_o it_o be_v grant_v by_o all_o good_a man_n on_o all_o side_n that_o god_n will_v save_v none_o but_o such_o as_o be_v find_v to_o be_v in_o christ_n with_o the_o aforesaid_a qualification_n and_o therefore_o it_o shall_v be_v grant_v on_o all_o side_n also_o that_o he_o decree_v to_o save_v none_o but_o such_o person_n as_o they_o and_o what_o be_v that_o but_o a_o respective_a conditional_a decree_n make_v in_o intuition_n of_o our_o being_n in_o christ_n and_o so_o qualify_v etc._n etc._n second_o i_o consider_v that_o the_o decree_n of_o the_o father_n to_o send_v his_o son_n to_o be_v a_o second_o adam_n be_v in_o respect_n and_o regard_n to_o the_o backslide_n of_o the_o first_o adam_n and_o the_o decree_n of_o god_n to_o save_v the_o first_o adam_n be_v in_o respect_n to_o the_o merit_n of_o the_o second_o adam_n for_o god_n choose_v never_o a_o child_n so_o as_o to_o give_v he_o eternal_a life_n unless_o it_o be_v for_o the_o sake_n of_o his_o only_o beget_v son_n 1._o god_n pity_v a_o woeful_a world_n 2._o he_o love_v what_o he_o pity_v 3._o he_o give_v his_o own_o son_n to_o save_v what_o he_o love_v and_o upon_o the_o condition_n of_o believe_v in_o his_o son_n he_o give_v they_o a_o promise_n of_o eternal_a life_n for_o so_o believe_v be_v interpose_v betwixt_o love_n and_o life_n in_o joh._n 3.16_o three_o i_o consider_v there_o must_v be_v a_o difference_n before_o there_o can_v be_v a_o election_n love_n indeed_o be_v a_o act_n of_o favour_n but_o election_n
