A29125	A compendious answer to a book called A brief survay of the judgement of Mr. John Goodvvin, and the Church of God walking with him, touching their reasons of dissenting from many of their brethren, in these imprtant heads of doctrine; 1. Election and reprobation. 2. The death of Christ. 3. The grace of God in and about conversion. 4. The liberty or power of the will, or of the creature man. 5. The perseverance of the saints. VVherein the absurdities of all their dissenting doctrines are clearly exhibited, by a loving friend to the truth it self, Ellis Bradshaw.

these_o word_n of_o christ_n be_v utter_o inconsistent_a with_o those_o pathetical_a affectionate_a and_o bowel-breathing_a wish_n or_o desire_n of_o god_n for_o the_o peace_n and_o prosperity_n even_o of_o the_o vile_a man_n as_o you_o imagine_v whereas_o these_o be_v all_o speak_v too_o and_o concern_v his_o peculiar_a people_n that_o they_o may_v have_v be_v happy_a and_o their_o posterity_n after_o they_o if_o they_o have_v keep_v his_o commandment_n and_o this_o he_o speak_v after_o the_o manner_n of_o man_n and_o if_o they_o have_v be_v obedient_a it_o have_v be_v so_o with_o they_o but_o we_o dare_v not_o conclude_v that_o god_n know_v not_o before_o how_o they_o will_v carry_v and_o demean_v themselves_o for_o than_o we_o shall_v deny_v his_o understanding_n to_o be_v infinite_a but_o these_o be_v speak_v for_o our_o encouragement_n and_o for_o our_o imitation_n and_o there_o shall_v be_v in_o we_o such_o like_a bowel_n &_o earnest_a desire_n as_o there_o be_v in_o christ_n consider_v as_o man_n to_o wit_n that_o man_n will_v repent_v and_o return_v and_o live_v and_o they_o ought_v to_o persuade_v what_o they_o can_v thereto_o and_o such_o who_o so_o do_v be_v instrumental_a in_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n for_o the_o good_a of_o many_o and_o shall_v doubless_v receive_v a_o reward_n suitable_a 3._o your_o three_o reason_n be_v in_o effect_n but_o the_o same_o with_o this_o intend_v to_o prove_v it_o as_o a_o brand_n of_o cruelty_n and_o folly_n if_o god_n shall_v reprobate_v his_o own_o as_o the_o ostrich_n be_v cruel_a against_o her_o young_a one_o and_o to_o this_o i_o assent_v if_o he_o shall_v be_v cruel_a to_o his_o own_o elect_a and_o that_o be_v all_o you_o can_v make_v of_o it_o 4._o reason_n the_o four_o you_o proceed_v on_o in_o the_o same_o tone_n reply_v and_o argue_v against_o god_n because_o he_o do_v reprobate_a the_o great_a part_n of_o man_n as_o if_o because_o we_o be_v lineal_o descend_v from_o the_o loin_n of_o adam_n we_o be_v all_o alike_o by_o generation_n and_o in_o alike_o measure_v child_n of_o wrath_n which_o i_o have_v already_o answer_v that_o it_o be_v not_o so_o and_o further_o i_o add_v for_o your_o full_a conviction_n that_o all_o reprobate_n be_v the_o natural_a offspring_n and_o fruit_n of_o sin_n and_o be_v the_o child_n of_o the_o wicked_a one_o that_o be_v the_o devil_n in_o that_o respect_n for_o it_o be_v the_o devil_n that_o sow_v the_o tare_n that_o be_v to_o say_v sin_n in_o the_o heat_n of_o our_o first_o parent_n which_o have_v bring_v forth_o more_o tare_n than_o the_o good_a seed_n which_o be_v of_o god_n and_o be_v leave_v as_o a_o remnant_n of_o the_o image_n of_o god_n in_o our_o first_o parent_n have_v yet_o produce_v so_o that_o it_o be_v not_o proper_a to_o say_v of_o the_o wicked_a that_o they_o be_v lineal_o descend_v from_o god_n through_o the_o loin_n of_o adam_n who_o be_v his_o son_n but_o be_v blasphemous_a in_o i_o to_o speak_v it_o because_o i_o thus_o apprehend_v and_o know_v it_o to_o be_v true_a 5._o you_o proceed_v that_o all_o particular_a person_n of_o mankind_n without_o exception_n of_o any_o be_v in_o adam_n before_o his_o fall_n from_o whence_o you_o gather_v if_o they_o be_v in_o he_o before_o his_o fall_n they_o must_v be_v in_o the_o same_o state_n and_o condition_n of_o righteousness_n and_o holiness_n with_o he_o and_o consequent_o of_o grace_n favour_n and_o acceptance_n with_o god_n now_o we_o judge_v it_o clear_o impossible_a that_o any_o person_n shall_v at_o the_o same_o time_n be_v in_o a_o estate_n of_o righteousness_n or_o of_o grace_n and_o favour_n with_o god_n and_o yet_o under_o a_o severe_a decree_n of_o reprobation_n also_o so_o that_o we_o can_v but_o conceive_v such_o a_o decree_n of_o reprobation_n from_o eternity_n as_o our_o brethren_n maintain_v to_o be_v a_o mere_a and_o plain_a impossibilitic_a answ_n i_o answer_v all_o mankind_n be_v original_o in_o his_o loin_n and_o he_o be_v make_v righteous_a but_o they_o be_v not_o personal_o in_o he_o but_o suppose_v it_o true_a do_v not_o you_o conceive_v that_o the_o angel_n that_o sin_v and_o be_v cast_v down_o and_o become_v devil_n be_v create_v perfect_a and_o pure_a from_o sin_n and_o so_o in_o favour_n with_o god_n while_o they_o so_o continue_v yet_o be_v at_o that_o very_a time_n under_o a_o severe_a decree_n of_o eternal_a reprobation_n have_v not_o god_n decree_v and_o determine_v with_o himself_o to_o suffer_v they_o to_o sin_n and_o fall_v as_o they_o do_v and_o so_o in_o like_a manner_n to_o suffer_v man_n also_o to_o be_v seduce_v by_o he_o can_v you_o believe_v it_o that_o his_o decree_n be_v unchangeable_a as_o you_o grant_v at_o the_o first_o and_o that_o god_n act_v nothing_o in_o time_n but_o what_o he_o decree_v from_o eternity_n and_o that_o the_o scripture_n express_o hold_v forth_o both_o a_o decree_n of_o election_n and_o a_o decree_n of_o reprobation_n in_o god_n as_o you_o say_v you_o agree_v with_o your_o brethren_n in_o that_o as_o in_o the_o 1.4.5_o particular_n but_o whether_o then_o have_v your_o argument_n lead_v you_o that_o you_o here_o account_v it_o a_o plain_a impossibility_n so_o that_o the_o decree_n of_o god_n be_v nothing_o at_o all_o from_o eternity_n concern_v reprobation_n either_o of_o angel_n or_o man_n though_o the_o scripture_n tell_v we_o that_o some_o be_v of_o old_a ordain_v unto_o condemnation_n and_o some_o as_o natural_a brute_n beast_n be_v make_v to_o be_v take_v and_o to_o be_v destroy_v speak_v evil_a of_o the_o thing_n they_o understand_v not_o and_o shall_v utter_o perish_v in_o their_o own_o corruption_n 2_o pet._n 2.12_o and_o let_v i_o but_o ask_v you_o do_v he_o not_o will_n now_o what_o he_o will_v before_o even_o from_o eternity_n be_v he_o will_v change_v or_o do_v he_o will_v any_o thing_n now_o that_o he_o do_v not_o then_o but_o say_v the_o apostle_n what_o if_o he_o willing_a to_o show_v his_o wrath_n and_o make_v his_o power_n know_v suffer_v with_o long_a patience_n the_o vessel_n of_o wrath_n fit_v to_o destruction_n but_o if_o these_o be_v the_o end_n of_o suffer_v these_o vessel_n than_o it_o must_v needs_o follow_v that_o in_o the_o decree_n of_o god_n he_o have_v this_o purpose_n in_o himself_o as_o ephes_n 1.9_o where_o it_o be_v also_o say_a verse_n 11._o that_o he_o work_v all_o thing_n according_a to_o the_o counsel_n of_o his_o own_o will_n so_o that_o we_o can_v believe_v that_o he_o either_o do_v or_o suffer_v to_o be_v do_v any_o thing_n at_o all_o but_o according_a to_o the_o counsel_n of_o his_o own_o will_n for_o he_o that_o can_v foresee_v to_o predestine_v such_o who_o be_v his_o elect_n to_o the_o adoption_n of_o child_n by_o jesus_n christ_n in_o himself_o according_a to_o the_o good_a pleasure_n of_o his_o will_n as_o ephes_n 1.5_o can_v not_o possible_o be_v ignorant_a who_o he_o shall_v harden_v unto_o condemnation_n it_o be_v therefore_o wisdom_n if_o you_o can_v not_o comprehend_v the_o justness_n of_o his_o decree_n in_o this_o respect_n yet_o not_o to_o make_v such_o imperious_a and_o bold_a conclusion_n while_o you_o can_v reconcile_v these_o you_o subtle_a argument_n with_o these_o text_n of_o scripture_n for_o all_o scripture_n be_v true_a and_o must_v not_o be_v break_v to_o comply_v with_o our_o fancy_n and_o weak_a apprehension_n 6._o but_o argument_n six_o you_o speak_v more_o bold_o for_o because_o all_o thing_n be_v in_o god_n and_o in_o his_o will_n and_o power_n before_o he_o create_v they_o and_o make_v they_o visible_a therefore_o you_o will_v needs_o make_v man_n and_o not_o man_n only_o but_o all_o thing_n whatsoever_o to_o be_v nothing_o real_o but_o god_n himself_o according_a as_o you_o say_v it_o be_v a_o know_a maxim_n whatsoever_o be_v in_o god_n be_v god_n the_o which_o maxim_n in_o one_o sense_n may_v be_v true_a to_o wit_n whatsoever_o be_v in_o god_n attributable_o and_o essential_o be_v god_n but_o it_o be_v well_o know_v that_o all_o thing_n yet_o still_o be_v real_o in_o god_n but_o no_o creature_n can_v in_o any_o possibility_n be_v god_n himself_o for_o every_o creature_n be_v something_o else_o and_o therefore_o i_o much_o wonder_v that_o a_o whole_a church_n shall_v assert_v such_o doctrine_n and_o before_o the_o creation_n when_o all_o thing_n be_v in_o god_n they_o be_v then_o no_o more_o god_n himself_o than_o the_o dung_n that_o be_v contain_v in_o the_o internal_a part_n of_o the_o belly_n of_o man_n be_v the_o man_n himself_o and_o so_o by_o consequence_n notwithstanding_o your_o bold_a logic_n god_n be_v no_o more_o the_o object_n of_o his_o own_o reprobation_n nor_o can_v no_o more_o be_v say_v to_o reject_v himself_o or_o harden_v himself_o than_o
