let_v all_o the_o son_n of_o adam_n come_v let_v they_o contend_v and_o dispute_v with_o their_o creator_n because_o by_o his_o eternal_a providence_n before_o they_o be_v bear_v they_o be_v appoint_v to_o eternal_a misery_n what_o will_v they_o be_v able_a to_o object_v against_o this_o plea_n when_o god_n shall_v on_o the_o other_o side_n call_v they_o to_o areview_v of_o themselves_o if_o all_o be_v take_v out_o of_o the_o corrupt_a mass_n it_o be_v no_o wonder_n if_o they_o be_v subject_a to_o damnation_n let_v they_o not_o therefore_o accuse_v god_n of_o iniquity_n if_o by_o his_o

damnation_n no_o otherwise_o then_o diverse_a romanist_n themselves_o do_v and_o thus_o also_o beza_n 17._o this_o say_v he_o be_v the_o sum_n of_o paul_n answer_n although_o god_n appoint_v either_o to_o love_v or_o to_o hatred_n who_o he_o will_v without_o any_o respect_n of_o their_o qualification_n yet_o he_o be_v free_a from_o all_o injustice_n because_o betwixt_o god_n eternal_a decree_n and_o the_o execution_n of_o it_o there_o be_v subordinate_a cause_n whereby_o god_n do_v bring_v the_o elect_a unto_o salvation_n and_o do_v just_o damn_v the_o reprobate_n for_o he_o save_v the_o elect_a by_o mercy_n and_o damn_v the_o reprobate_n by_o induration_n so_o that_o they_o do_v most_o foolish_o who_o confoun_v the_o decree_n of_o reprobation_n with_o damnation_n see_v that_o the_o cause_n of_o damnation_n be_v manifest_a to_o wit_n sin_n but_o the_o will_n of_o god_n be_v the_o only_a cause_n of_o reprobation_n therefore_o god_n do_v wrong_a to_o neither_o because_o both_o deserve_v destruction_n for_o mercy_n show_v that_o the_o elect_a be_v miserable_a and_o therefore_o worthy_a because_o of_o sin_n to_o be_v destroy_v and_o induration_n presuppose_v perverseness_n

estius_n on_o rom._n 9_o do_v subscribe_v unto_o in_o this_o disputation_n say_v he_o the_o apostle_n do_v not_o suppose_v the_o lump_n corrupt_v although_o that_o which_o the_o apostle_n say_v be_v
