25.42_o when_o it_o be_v proper_o to_o be_v understand_v of_o his_o people_n as_o himself_o say_v inasmuch_o as_o you_o do_v it_o not_o to_o the_o least_o of_o these_o you_o do_v it_o not_o to_o i_o and_o in_o this_o sense_n god_n say_v he_o that_o touch_v you_o touch_v the_o apple_n of_o my_o eye_n zech._n 2.8_o in_o which_o sense_n also_o the_o aforesaid_a scripture_n may_v well_o be_v

believe_v that_o the_o suffering_n of_o christ_n be_v all_o voluntary_a that_o he_o ready_o condescend_v to_o obey_v his_o father_n will_n wherein_o we_o have_v cause_n to_o accept_v the_o grace_n of_o christ_n but_o 2._o this_o be_v no_o act_n viz._n no_o personal_a act_n of_o he_o there_o may_v be_v a_o voluntary_a submission_n a_o free_a condescension_n even_o so_o far_o as_o we_o may_v be_v

when_o we_o lose_v our_o life_n for_o his_o sake_n wherefore_o although_o i_o do_v extol_v the_o personal_a act_n of_o christ_n in_o the_o day_n of_o his_o flesh_n and_o desire_v to_o respect_v they_o in_o their_o own_o sphere_n yet_o must_v conclude_v as_o aforesaid_a that_o those_o blessing_n be_v not_o wrought_v by_o his_o personal_a act_n but_o by_o his_o suffering_n as_o it_o be_v write_v the_o captain_n of_o our_o salvation_n be_v make_v perfect_a through_o suffering_n heb._n 2.10_o christ_n have_v also_o once_o suffer_v for_o we_o that_o thereby_o he_o may_v bring_v we_o unto_o god_n

consider_v these_o thing_n in_o opposition_n to_o john_n bunyan_n creed_n viz._n 1._o that_o god_n do_v not_o elect_a any_o man_n unto_o salvation_n without_o respect_n to_o qualification_n foresee_v 2._o that_o there_o be_v not_o any_o such_o eternal_a purpose_n of_o god_n which_o necessary_o produce_v john_n bunyan_n be_v effectual_a call_n 3._o there_o be_v no_o such_o call_v as_o be_v beyond_o all_o opposition_n 4._o there_o be_v not_o any_o such_o estate_n as_o no_o impediment_n can_v hinder_v the_o conversion_n and_o salvation_n of_o a_o man_n 5._o there_o be_v no_o person_n original_o so_o far_o blind_v by_o the_o god_n of_o heaven_n that_o they_o can_v hear_v and_o turn_v to_o he_o these_o thing_n although_o negative_n i_o shall_v essay_n to_o demonstrate_v to_o be_v although_o contrary_a to_o john_n bunyan_n consonant_n to_o truth_n by_o the_o ensue_a argument_n viz._n arg._n 1._o if_o god_n elect_v some_o person_n without_o respect_n to_o qualification_n fore-seen_a then_o there_o be_v respect_n of_o person_n with_o god_n but_o there_o be_v no_o respect_n of_o person_n with_o god_n ergo._n the_o major_n be_v undeniable_a for_o if_o there_o be_v no_o respect_n to_o qualification_n there_o must_v be_v respect_n of_o person_n or_o respect_n to_o nothing_o peradventure_o it_o will_v be_v say_v that_o there_o be_v respect_n to_o nothing_o it_o be_v of_o god_n mere_a will_n and_o pleasure_n whereto_o i_o shall_v answer_v that_o if_o god_n look_v upon_o every_o man_n alike_o viz._n without_o respect_n to_o any_o qualification_n choose_v one_o and_o not_o another_o it_o be_v partiality_n and_o therefore_o the_o major_n appear_v true_a the_o minor_a be_v evident_o prove_v rom._n 2.11_o 1_o pet._n 1.17_o and_o positive_o affirm_v act_v 10.34_o i_o know_v of_o a_o truth_n say_v peter_n that_o god_n be_v no_o respecter_n of_o person_n which_o afterward_o he_o demonstrate_v vers_fw-la 35._o in_o every_o nation_n he_o that_o fear_v god_n and_o work_v righteousness_n he_o do_v not_o say_v he_o that_o be_v elect_v be_v accept_v of_o he_o arg._n 2._o if_o god_n have_v from_o the_o beginning_n elect_v any_o person_n to_o salvation_n without_o respect_n to_o qualification_n fore-seen_a then_o the_o sentence_n shall_v not_o pass_v at_o the_o last_o day_n and_o judgement_n be_v render_v to_o every_o man_n according_a to_o their_o work_n but_o the_o sentence_n at_o the_o last_o day_n shall_v pass_v and_o judgement_n be_v render_v to_o every_o man_n according_a to_o their_o work_n ergo._n the_o major_n be_v plain_a for_o if_o it_o shall_v be_v according_a to_o our_o work_n than_o not_o according_a to_o such_o election_n if_o it_o be_v of_o election_n as_o aforesaid_a than_o not_o according_a to_o work_n the_o minor_a be_v confirm_v 1_o
