they_o infer_v that_o as_o a_o dead_a man_n do_v nothing_o to_o the_o raise_n of_o himself_o no_o more_o do_v we_o that_o be_v spiritual_o dead_a as_o god_n put_v forth_o a_o almighty_a power_n at_o

grace_n as_o well_o to_o assist_v the_o will_n in_o goodness_n as_o at_o first_o to_o excite_v to_o goodness_n and_o it_o be_v very_o reasonable_a to_o think_v that_o as_o the_o devil_n be_v daily_a

the_o apostle_n phil._n 1.6_o be_v confident_a of_o this_o very_a thing_n that_o he_o which_o have_v begin_v a_o good_a work_n in_o you_o will_v perform_v it_o that_o be_v will_v assist_v you_o to_o

of_o his_o good_a pleasure_n neither_o be_v it_o less_o plain_a against_o the_o other_o that_o grace_n be_v not_o so_o efficacious_o inspire_v into_o the_o soul_n that_o be_v not_o in_o the_o power_n of_o the_o will_v to_o refuse_v it_o for_o this_o will_v quite_o destroy_v the_o nature_n of_o the_o will_n for_o as_o he_o say_v well_o he_o that_o can_v choose_v but_o choose_v do_v choose_v because_o he_o can_v choose_v which_o be_v a_o palpable_a and_o thick_a contradiction_n second_o it_o appear_v from_o our_o saviour_n word_n how_o oft_o will_v i_o and_o you_o will_v not_o that_o grace_n be_v not_o so_o irresistible_o put_v to_o the_o will_n that_o it_o be_v not_o in_o the_o power_n of_o the_o will_v to_o refuse_v it_o see_v he_o blame_v they_o for_o so_o often_o forsake_v their_o own_o mercy_n so_o that_o they_o not_o only_o have_v a_o power_n to_o resist_v his_o grace_n but_o bring_v that_o power_n into_o act_n in_o judge_v themselves_o unworthy_a of_o everlasting_a life_n the_o truth_n i_o tell_v you_o be_v in_o the_o middle_a way_n and_o it_o have_v be_v the_o ancient_a opinion_n of_o the_o church_n of_o god_n for_o above_o a_o thousand_o year_n ago_o that_o the_o will_n be_v not_o destroy_v by_o grace_n but_o only_o repair_v a_o dislocate_v joint_n when_o it_o be_v well_o set_v again_o do_v not_o lose_v the_o nature_n of_o a_o joint_n but_o rather_o be_v restore_v to_o its_o former_a use_n and_o comeliness_n so_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n heal_v the_o will_n do_v not_o take_v away_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o will_n but_o only_o make_v it_o able_a to_o

god_n set_v life_n and_o death_n before_o he_o and_o bid_v he_o reach_v out_o his_o hand_n to_o whether_o he_o will_n this_o be_v apparent_a from_o isa_n 5.4_o what_o can_v have_v be_v do_v more_o
