but_o if_o it_o terminate_v on_o he_o as_o a_o final_a sinner_n there_o be_v no_o such_o obstruction_n at_o all_o wherefore_o i_o conceive_v that_o as_o god_n condemn_v none_o but_o for_o final_a sin_n so_o he_o decree_v to_o condemn_v none_o but_o for_o the_o same_o and_o by_o consequence_n that_o decree_n respect_v they_o as_o final_a sinner_n that_o be_v they_o be_v first_o consider_v as_o final_a sinner_n and_o then_o the_o decree_n of_o damnation_n terminate_v on_o they_o object_n but_o here_o a_o objection_n meet_v i_o god_n condemn_v none_o but_o final_a sinner_n and_o decree_n to_o condemn_v none_o but_o such_o yet_o hence_o it_o follow_v not_o that_o the_o decree_n of_o damnation_n respect_v they_o as_o final_a sinner_n or_o that_o they_o be_v consider_v as_o such_o antecedent_o to_o that_o decree_n for_o god_n save_v none_o but_o final_a believer_n and_o decree_n to_o save_v none_o but_o such_o yet_o from_o thence_o it_o follow_v not_o that_o the_o decree_n of_o salvation_n respect_v they_o as_o final_a believer_n or_o that_o they_o be_v consider_v as_o such_o antecedent_o to_o that_o decree_n for_o as_o have_v be_v lay_v down_o before_o faith_n and_o salvation_n be_v comprise_v in_o one_o and_o the_o same_o decree_n and_o therefore_o there_o be_v no_o antecedency_n of_o faith_n to_o salvation_n in_o the_o very_a decree_n but_o only_o in_o the_o execution_n thereof_o answ._n to_o which_o objection_n i_o answer_v that_o between_o the_o two_o case_n there_o be_v a_o triple_a difference_n which_o if_o consider_v will_v make_v it_o appear_v that_o the_o consequence_n which_o fail_v in_o the_o one_o case_n do_v hold_v good_a in_o the_o other_o 1._o these_o two_o proposition_n god_n decree_v to_o save_v none_o but_o final_a believer_n and_o god_n decree_v to_o damn_v none_o but_o final_a sinner_n must_v be_v take_v in_o a_o different_a meaning_n when_o we_o say_v god_n decree_v to_o save_v none_o but_o final_a believer_n the_o meaning_n be_v not_o final_a believer_n so_o preconsider_v antecedent_o to_o that_o decree_n for_o faith_n and_o salvation_n be_v comprise_v in_o one_o decree_n but_o final_a believer_n so_o to_o be_v make_v by_o force_n of_o that_o decree_n but_o when_o we_o say_v god_n decree_v to_o damn_v none_o but_o final_a sinner_n the_o meaning_n be_v not_o final_a sinner_n so_o to_o be_v make_v by_o force_n of_o that_o decree_n for_o god_n decree_n make_v no_o man_n a_o final_a sinner_n but_o final_a sinner_n so_o preconsider_v antecedent_o to_o that_o decree_n wherefore_o from_o that_o proposition_n god_n decree_v to_o save_v none_o but_o final_a believer_n it_o can_v be_v conclude_v that_o the_o decree_n of_o salvation_n respect_v they_o as_o final_a believer_n but_o because_o of_o the_o different_a meaning_n from_o that_o other_o proposition_n god_n decree_v to_o damn_v none_o but_o final_a sinner_n it_o may_v be_v right_o conclude_v that_o the_o decree_n of_o damnation_n respect_v they_o as_o final_a sinner_n 2._o there_o be_v a_o immediate_a contact_n between_o grace_n and_o glory_n hence_o these_o two_o may_v very_o apt_o be_v comprise_v in_o one_o decree_n and_o if_o so_o final_a faith_n be_v not_o preconsider_v to_o the_o decree_n of_o salvation_n but_o between_o preterition_n or_o permission_n of_o sin_n and_o damnation_n there_o be_v no_o immediate_a contact_n for_o the_o act_n of_o the_o creature_n even_o his_o final_a sin_n come_v between_o hence_o preterition_n or_o permission_n and_o damnation_n can_v according_a to_o our_o understanding_n be_v congruous_o comprise_v in_o one_o decree_n but_o in_o distinct_a decree_n and_o if_o so_o final_a sin_n be_v preconsider_v to_o the_o decree_n of_o damnation_n for_o no_o soon_o do_v the_o decree_n of_o preterition_n and_o permission_n pass_v in_o the_o divine_a will_n but_o therein_o as_o in_o a_o glass_n there_o be_v a_o prescience_n of_o final_a sin_n and_o thereupon_o pass_v the_o decree_n of_o damnation_n but_o you_o will_v say_v neither_o be_v there_o such_o a_o immediate_a contact_n between_o grace_n and_o glory_n as_o you_o assert_v for_o between_o the_o donation_n of_o grace_n and_o glory_n the_o act_n of_o the_o creature_n viz._n final_a faith_n do_v intervene_v i_o answer_v it_o be_v true_a it_o do_v intervene_v but_o as_o a_o fruit_n or_o effect_v of_o that_o donation_n it_o do_v intervene_v but_o that_o donation_n have_v a_o causal_a influence_n and_o attingency_n into_o the_o creature_n act_n and_o its_o perseverance_n wherefore_o it_o so_o intervene_v as_o not_o to_o break_v the_o immediate_a contact_n in_o the_o least_o measure_n but_o between_o preterition_n or_o permission_n and_o damnation_n the_o creature_n act_n viz._n final_a sin_n do_v intervene_v not_o as_o a_o effect_n of_o preterition_n or_o permission_n but_o as_o a_o fruit_n of_o man_n corrupt_a and_o deprave_a will_n and_o that_o intervention_n can_v stand_v with_o a_o immediate_a contact_n wherefore_o there_o be_v distinct_a decree_n first_o preterition_n and_o permission_n be_v decree_v and_o then_o upon_o the_o prescience_n of_o final_a sin_n damnation_n 3._o the_o three_o

eternal_a life_n be_v a_o gift_n free_o give_v therefore_o the_o consideration_n of_o final_a faith_n be_v not_o a_o prerequisite_a to_o the_o decree_n of_o salvation_n but_o death_n be_v wage_n exact_v by_o the_o
intrinsical_a merit_n of_o sin_n and_o pay_v only_o to_o a_o final_a sinner_n therefore_o the_o consideration_n of_o final_a sin_n be_v a_o prerequisite_a to_o the_o decree_n of_o damnation_n without_o that_o consideration_n i_o see_v not_o how_o it_o can_v be_v decree_v as_o wage_n but_o you_o will_v say_v be_v not_o eternal_a life_n also_o a_o reward_n of_o faith_n and_o holiness_n and_o how_o then_o can_v that_o be_v decree_v as_o a_o reward_n without_o a_o preconsideration_n of_o these_o i_o answer_v eternal_a life_n be_v a_o reward_n but_o it_o be_v a_o reward_n of_o pure_a grace_n it_o be_v grace_n upon_o grace_n glorify_v grace_n upon_o sanctify_v therefore_o to_o the_o decree_v thereof_o as_o a_o reward_n it_o suffice_v that_o it_o be_v decree_v to_o believer_n and_o saint_n
