beginning_n but_o there_o be_v a_o eternal_a beginning_n where_o the_o beginning_n and_o the_o end_n be_v all_o one_o the_o first_o be_v continual_o the_o last_o and_o the_o last_o be_v the_o first_o whatsoever_o god_n have_v begin_v from_o eternity_n to_o foresee_v that_o he_o begin_v now_o also_o at_o this_o day_n always_o every_o moment_n to_o foresee_v 205._o i_o can_n say_v with_o good_a ground_n thus_o that_o if_o i_o be_v in_o my_o mother_n body_n or_o womb_n comprehend_v in_o his_o anger_n than_o god_n have_v from_o eternity_n see_v i_o and_o apprehend_v i_o in_o his_o anger_n and_o i_o be_v from_o eternity_n elect_v in_o his_o anger_n 206._o but_o if_o i_o convert_v in_o repentance_n so_o that_o god_n love_n apprehend_v i_o than_o i_o be_o also_o from_o eternity_n foresee_v out_o of_o the_o anger_n into_o the_o love_n for_o in_o god_n all_o be_v eternal_a note_n whatsoever_o at_o this_o day_n begin_v to_o alter_v in_o the_o eternal_a that_o be_v from_o eternity_n to_o eternity_n equal_o in_o the_o eternity_n 207._o the_o spirit_n in_o the_o scripture_n have_v another_o kind_n of_o speak_v than_o the_o world_n have_v know_v you_o not_o how_o it_o stand_v write_v in_o the_o scripture_n where_o the_o lord_n say_v 8._o sudden_o i_o speak_v against_o a_o nation_n or_o people_n which_o be_v evil_a that_o i_o will_v destroy_v it_o but_o if_o they_o convert_v than_o it_o repent_v i_o of_o the_o evil_n which_o i_o think_v to_o do_v unto_o they_o 108._o look_v upon_o 10._o nineveh_n there_o you_o shall_v see_v whether_o god_n do_v not_o alter_v his_o will_n for_o man_n sake_n and_o the_o apostle_n say_v that_o even_o 32._o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n be_v subject_a to_o man_n viz_o to_o holy_a men._n 209._o note_n his_o election_n and_o beginning_n be_v always_o every_o moment_n his_o eternal_a birth_n or_o geniture_n be_v also_o every_o moment_n in_o he_o and_o before_o he_o be_v all_o both_o new_a and_o old_a for_o the_o same_o god_n who_o 4._o have_v elect_v we_o in_o christ_n before_o the_o foundation_n of_o the_o world_n he_o also_o every_o moment_n elect_v his_o child_n that_o come_v to_o he_o the_o matter_n consist_v only_o in_o the_o conversion_n of_o the_o will._n 210._o and_o though_o it_o stand_v write_v that_o it_o lie_v not_o in_o man_n willing_a that_o be_v only_o concern_v those_o that_o desire_n god_n and_o yet_o will_v not_o go_v forth_o out_o of_o their_o sinful_a will_n they_o keep_v their_o sin_n and_o yet_o will_v be_v save_v note_n therefore_o it_o lie_v not_o in_o his_o willing_a but_o in_o this_o that_o man_n go_v out_o from_o sin_n into_o god_n grace_n and_o than_o it_o lie_v in_o the_o mercy_n and_o that_o god_n do_v ready_o for_o he_o have_v promise_v it_o 211._o note_n it_o lie_v not_o in_o man_n to_o make_v himself_o bless_v or_o save_v but_o in_o the_o grace_n which_o god_n in_o his_o son_n have_v promise_v and_o bestow_v for_o 4._o god_n will_v that_o all_o man_n shall_v be_v help_v or_o save_v as_o the_o scripture_n say_v his_o election_n and_o out_o go_v be_v from_o eternity_n and_o his_o mercy_n be_v also_o from_o eternity_n in_o eternity_n all_o be_v in_o he_o eternal_a 212._o therefore_o man_n shall_v better_a consider_v the_o scripture_n as_o to_o such_o term_n or_o expression_n for_o it_o often_o speak_v out_o of_o the_o eternal_a mouth_n which_o begin_v every_o moment_n 213._o note_n for_o when_o the_o scripture_n faith_n 40._o he_o harden_v their_o heart_n that_o they_o believe_v not_o and_o so_o come_v not_o to_o be_v save_v than_o it_o speak_v of_o those_o who_o will_v be_v save_v by_o their_o own_o ability_n in_o their_o evil_n will_v and_o life_n those_o he_o suffer_v to_o go_v on_o in_o their_o purpose_n or_o predestination_n for_o they_o will_v do_v it_o 214._o as_o also_o adam_n do_v he_o will_v not_o be_v resign_v into_o god_n as_o a_o child_n but_o be_v his_o own_o and_o apprehend_v and_o know_v good_a and_o evil_a and_o live_v in_o all_o the_o three_o principle_n for_o he_o go_v out_o from_o god_n will_v into_o his_o own_o of_o set_a purpose_n therefore_o god_n leave_v he_o and_o then_o he_o fall_v down_o and_o sleep_v 215._o and_o when_o he_o do_v eat_v of_o the_o forbid_a fruit_n than_o god_n anger_n elect_v he_o to_o the_o damnation_n of_o death_n and_o god_n love_n speak_v against_o it_o say_v the_o seed_n of_o the_o woman_n shall_v bruise_v or_o crush_v the_o serpent_n head_n and_o that_o be_v also_o a_o eternal_a election_n and_o yet_o it_o be_v also_o a_o beginning_n temporary_a election_n for_o how_o can_v a_o election_n pass_v upon_o a_o thing_n when_o as_o yet_o it_o have_v no_o root_n 216._o note_n god_n anger_n have_v from_o eternity_n continual_o and_o still_o at_o this_o very_a day_n elect_v itself_o to_o be_v a_o darkness_n that_o god_n love_n and_o light_n may_v in_o the_o anger_n become_v manifest_v or_o reveal_v 217._o now_o that_o which_o be_v out_o of_o the_o eternal_a as_o the_o soul_n of_o man_n that_o have_v also_o freewill_n to_o manifest_v itself_o in_o the_o light_n or_o in_o the_o darkness_n note_n not_o that_o it_o have_v the_o light_n and_o darkness_n in_o its_o power_n but_o it_o have_v ability_n to_o work_v in_o good_a or_o evil_a that_o be_v in_o the_o power_n of_o the_o light_n or_o of_o the_o darkness_n and_o in_o which_o soever_o it_o work_v that_o manifest_v itself_o in_o it_o 218._o the_o may_v or_o power_n be_v god_n and_o the_o soul_n be_v his_o child_n a_o branch_n in_o the_o tree_n proceed_v out_o of_o god_n mouth_n out_o of_o love_n and_o anger_n all_o that_o lie_v in_o it_o and_o be_v its_o own_o propriety_n 219._o who_o will_v then_o take_v away_o the_o freewill_n from_o it_o be_v it_o be_v a_o branch_n in_o the_o eternal_a tree_n and_o have_v love_n and_o anger_n in_o itself_o or_o be_v it_o not_o true_a my_o opponent_n speak_v even_o so_o that_o the_o anger_n lie_v hide_v in_o adam_n before_o the_o fall_n and_o have_v manifest_v itself_o with_o the_o fall_n 220._o but_o he_o make_v i_o wonderful_a beginning_n in_o the_o seed_n of_o adam_n one_o with_o god_n another_o with_o the_o serpent_n and_o that_o be_v a_o gross_a error_n there_o be_v not_o two_o sort_n of_o seed_n but_o one_o only_o but_o two_o sort_n of_o dominion_n lie_v in_o the_o seed_n viz_o god_n love_n and_o anger_n and_o be_v but_o one_o only_a seed_n 221._o but_o as_o to_o one_o part_n from_o the_o divine_a substantiality_n from_o the_o holy_a and_o pure_a element_n in_o which_o the_o paradise_n and_o heaven_n ●●eth_v as_o also_o the_o tincture_n of_o fire_n and_o light_n that_o very_a seed_n disappear_v in_o adam_n when_o he_o fall_v whereof_o god_n say_v 17._o the_o day_n that_o thou_o eat_v of_o this_o tree_n thou_o shall_v die_v 222._o and_o the_o other_o seed_n understand_v spirit_n be_v the_o centre_n of_o the_o eternal_a nature_n viz_o of_o the_o dark_a world_n according_a to_o which_o god_n call_v himself_o a_o angry_a god_n but_o that_o be_v not_o stir_v and_o manifest_a while_o the_o light_n shine_v in_o the_o divine_a heavenly_a paradisicall_a substantiality_n but_o in_o the_o fall_v it_o become_v manifest_v or_o reveal_v 223._o but_o now_o adam_n be_v also_o shut_v up_o in_o the_o dominion_n and_o in_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o outward_a world_n but_o that_o must_v in_o his_o innocency_n go_v also_o behind_o and_o come_v after_o for_o god_n kingdom_n rule_v in_o he_o but_o when_o he_o fall_v than_o it_o become_v also_o manifest_v and_o powerful_a in_o he_o and_o instant_o heat_n and_o cold_a fall_v upon_o he_o so_o that_o he_o must_v clothe_v himself_o and_o he_o fall_v by_o the_o outward_a world_n may_v into_o the_o corruptibility_n of_o his_o body_n 224._o now_o what_o kind_n of_o seed_n shall_v become_v generate_v in_o adam_n out_o of_o which_o cain_n and_o abel_n can_v be_v conceive_v even_o such_o a_o one_o as_o adam_n be_v after_o the_o fall_n viz_o according_a to_o the_o outword_n world_n evil_a and_o good_a and_o according_a to_o the_o anger-world_n total_o evil_a 225._o but_o now_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n viz_o the_o heavenly_a substantiality_n be_v fade_v or_o disappear_v in_o he_o for_o the_o darkness_n have_v receive_v in_o the_o light_n in_o he_o as_o you_o have_v a_o image_n thereof_o in_o the_o dry_a 4._o wither_a staff_n of_o aaron_n which_o sprout_v again_o so_o also_o do_v the_o fade_a or_o disappear_v substantiality_n in_o the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n when_o god_n become_v man_n in_o that_o very_o fade_a substantiality_n 226._o now_o my_o opponent_n with_o your_o election_n come_v hither_o to_o school_n now_o show_v i_o the_o grace-election_n i_o will_v also_o show_v it_o you_o in_o the_o divine_a knowledge_n to_o

i_o be_v give_v to_o see_v as_o sharp_o and_o accute_o as_o any_o one_o can_v search_v mark_v this_o which_o follow_v 227._o now_o when_o the_o image_n be_v fade_v or_o disappear_v what_o do_v god_n with_o it_o do_v he_o let_v it_o fall_v quite_o away_o and_o remain_v in_o death_n no._n then_o instant_o the_o door_n of_o his_o mercy_n set_v itself_o open_a and_o say_v 15._o the_o woman_n seed_n shall_v crush_v the_o serpent_n head_n 228._o then_o the_o dear_a name_n jesus_n incorporate_v itself_o in_o the_o fade_a disappear_v image_n and_o the_o mark_n or_o limit_v in_o this_o fade_a

the_o dear_a name_n jesus_n with_o the_o word_n and_o power_n of_o the_o true_a deity_n open_v itself_o again_o in_o man_n soul_n the_o second_o part._n of_o the_o become_v man_n or_o incarnation_n and_o person_n of_o christ_n how_o christ_n be_v become_v man_n or_o incarnate_a out_o of_o no_o strange_a seed_n but_o out_o of_o mary_n and_o yet_o indeed_o not_o in_o eve_n earthly_a essence_n the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v the_o man_n or_o masculine_a therein_o 230._o my_o opponent_n tell_v i_o here_o what_o the_o woman_n seed_n be_v upon_o which_o you_o find_v your_o election_n you_o say_v the_o child_n of_o god_n must_v become_v generate_v out_o of_o the_o woman_n seed_n as_o the_o dew_n out_o of_o the_o aurora_n morning_n redness_n and_o reject_v adam_n and_o eve_n seed_n and_o make_v a_o strange_a seed_n and_o yet_o god_n say_v through_o the_o woman_n seed_n shall_v the_o head_n of_o the_o serpent_n be_v crush_v who_o be_v the_o woman_n be_v it_o eve_n no_o that_o you_o will_v not_o admit_v why_o because_o otherwise_o you_o can_v cloak_n your_o election_n or_o predestination_n 231._o well_o now_o if_o you_o be_v learned_a as_o indeed_o you_o go_v about_o mighty_o to_o colour_n your_o cause_n with_o text_n of_o scripture_n then_o show_v in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n that_o god_n intend_v a_o strange_a woman_n you_o say_v that_o mary_n be_v not_o from_o we_o man_n but_o be_v a_o virgin_n from_o eternity_n that_o you_o must_v and_o shall_v prove_v or_o else_o it_o shall_v have_v neither_o place_n nor_o belief_n 232._o but_o i_o will_v demonstrate_v with_o strong_a argument_n that_o the_o word_n of_o promise_n go_v upon_o the_o woman_n seed_n viz_o upon_o eve_n and_o adam_n that_o be_v upon_o the_o matter_n or_o matrix_fw-la which_o be_v take_v from_o adam_n out_o of_o which_o the_o woman_n be_v frame_v out_o of_o and_o in_o which_o adam_n shall_v have_v impregnate_v himself_o if_o he_o have_v stand_v and_o have_v not_o suffer_v himself_o to_o be_v overpowred_n 233._o for_o the_o woman_n eve_n shall_v have_v be_v the_o propagate_v child_n but_o it_o can_v not_o be_v and_o therefore_o she_o be_v take_v out_o of_o adam_n essence_n and_o bone_n and_o be_v make_v etc._n a_o help_n for_o he_o so_o that_o the_o propagation_n must_v be_v perform_v through_o two_o 234._o now_o if_o mary_n christ_n mother_n be_v not_o from_o we_o man_n then_o be_v christ_n not_o the_o son_n of_o man_n as_o he_o so_o very_o often_o call_v himself_o and_o where_o then_o will_v my_o poor_a soul_n remain_v which_o lie_v captive_a in_o a_o dark_a dungeon_n whereas_o if_o god_n will_v regenerate_v it_o again_o as_o the_o dew_n out_o of_o the_o morning_n redness_n can_v he_o not_o well_o do_v it_o without_o become_a man._n 235_o beside_o if_o mary_n be_v not_o man_n or_o humane_a from_o we_o what_o then_o will_v the_o strange_a christ_n be_v profitable_a to_o i_o and_o then_o it_o will_v not_o be_v true_a that_o the_o word_n be_v become_v flesh_n or_o how_o can_v i_o enter_v into_o christ_n suffer_v die_v and_o death_n if_o it_o be_v not_o do_v in_o me._n 236._o but_o i_o can_v with_o truth_n say_v as_o the_o apostle_n say_v that_o i_o believe_v 20._o i_o be_o crucify_a and_o dead_a with_o christ_n and_o rise_v up_o in_o and_o with_o he_o and_o bear_v his_o image_n on_o i_o 237._o thus_o say_v my_o opponent_n than_o christ_n be_v conceive_v in_o a_o sinfust_a seed_n if_o eve_n have_v be_v the_o woman_n in_o the_o promise_n no_o i_o say_v not_o that_o 238._o christ_n viz_o the_o live_a word_n be_v not_o generate_v from_o man_n seed_n but_o in_o the_o shut_v up_o seed_n of_o the_o heavenly_a part_n which_o in_o eve_n fade_v or_o disappear_v as_o the_o fire_n dry_a or_o wither_a rod_n of_o aaron_n signify_v he_o become_v again_o the_o dead_a part_n sap_n and_o life_n for_o the_o sin_n fall_v not_o upon_o the_o heavenly_a part_n but_o that_o die_v understand_v substance_n and_o not_o god_n spirit_n which_o rest_v in_o the_o

heavenly_a disappear_v or_o fade_v as_o god_n say_v the_o day_n thou_o eat_v thou_o die_v 240._o he_o mean_v not_o sole_o the_o earthly_a death_n for_o adam_n live_v 5._o nine_o hundred_o and_o
