his_o will_n be_v not_o take_v from_o he_o and_o clean_o change_v into_o a_o stone_n or_o a_o block_n fide_fw-la yet_o those_o gift_n be_v so_o alter_v and_o diminish_v in_o he_o after_o his_o fall_n that_o they_o be_v not_o so_o excellent_a or_o able_a to_o do_v so_o much_o as_o they_o be_v before_o his_o fall_n for_o his_o knowledge_n be_v darken_v and_o his_o will_n be_v make_v bind_v whereas_o before_o it_o be_v free_a for_o now_o it_o serve_v sin_n not_o unwilling_o but_o willing_o for_o it_o be_v call_v will_n &_o not_o will_n therefore_o as_o touch_v wickedness_n or_o sin_n man_n be_v not_o compel_v either_o of_o god_n or_o the_o devil_n but_o of_o his_o own_o motion_n do_v evil_a and_o in_o this_o behalf_n have_v free_a will_n to_o do_v mischief_n but_o as_o touch_v heavenly_a thing_n goodness_n and_o virtue_n what_o power_n it_o have_v we_o have_v say_v already_o for_o saint_n augustine_n say_v libero_fw-la arbitrie_n male_a utens_fw-la homo_fw-la 11._o &_o se_fw-la

arbitrium_fw-la sine_fw-la deo_fw-la oh_o evil_a be_v free_a will_n with_o out_o god._n now_o last_o of_o all_o will_n we_o must_v consider_v whether_o they_o which_o be_v regenerate_v have_v free_a will_n and_o after_o what_o sort_n they_o have_v it_o in_o regeneration_n the_o mind_n be_v inspire_v with_o the_o holy_a spirit_n to_o understand_v and_o know_v the_o secret_n and_o will_n of_o god_n

but_o also_o active_o for_o they_o be_v drive_v of_o god_n to_o do_v that_o which_o they_o do_v second_o we_o must_v note_v that_o infirmity_n and_o feebleness_n remain_v in_o they_o which_o be_v regenerate_v for_o see_v that_o sin_n dwell_v in_o they_o and_o the_o flesh_n although_o they_o be_v bear_v a_o new_a strive_v against_o the_o spirit_n 5._o as_o long_o as_o they_o live_v they_o do_v not_o altogether_o without_o cumbrance_n bring_v that_o to_o pass_v which_o they_o determine_v as_o be_v see_v by_o s._n paul_n when_o he_o say_v the_o law_n be_v spiritual_a but_o i_o be_o carnal_a sell_v under_o sin_n 7._o for_o i_o allow_v not_o that_o which_o i_o do_v for_o what_o i_o will_v that_o do_v i_o not_o but_o what_o i_o hate_v that_o do_v i_o now_o than_o it_o be_v no_o more_o i_o that_o do_v it_o but_o the_o sin_n that_o dwell_v in_o i_o for_o i_o know_v that_o in_o i_o that_o be_v in_o my_o flesh_n dwell_v no_o good_a thing_n for_o to_o will_n be_v present_a with_o i_o but_o i_o find_v no_o mean_n to_o perform_v that_o which_o be_v good_a for_o i_o do_v not_o the_o good_a thing_n which_o i_o will_v but_o the_o evil_n which_o i_o will_v not_o that_o do_v i_o now_o if_o i_o do_v that_o i_o will_v not_o it_o be_v no_o more_o i_o that_o do_v it_o 51._o but_o the_o sin_n that_o dwell_v in_o i_o therefore_o weak_a be_v our_o free_a will_n by_o reason_n of_o the_o dregs_n of_o our_o old_a adam_n and_o the_o natural_a corruption_n of_o man_n stick_v â—ast_v in_o we_o to_o our_o life_n end_n howbeit_o see_v that_o the_o strength_n of_o the_o flesh_n and_o relic_n of_o the_o old_a man_n be_v not_o so_o strong_a and_o of_o such_o puissance_n as_o utter_o to_o suppress_v &_o conquer_v the_o work_n of_o the_o spirit_n free_a therefore_o the_o faithful_a be_v say_v to_o be_v free_a yet_o so_o that_o they_o acknowledge_v their_o infirmity_n and_o weakness_n without_o boast_v &_o brag_v of_o their_o freewill_n for_o the_o faithful_a aught_o always_o to_o keep_v in_o mind_n that_o saying_n which_o so_o often_o s._n augustine_n repeat_v out_o of_o the_o apostle_n what_o have_v thou_o that_o thou_o do_v not_o receive_v 4._o and_o if_o thou_o have_v receive_v it_o why_o boast_v thou_o as_o though_o thou_o receiv_v it_o not_o so_o we_o may_v say_v true_o that_o the_o man_n regenerate_v be_v able_a to_o keep_v the_o law_n of_o god_n in_o jesus_n christ_n and_o by_o jesus_n christ_n but_o not_o of_o himself_o 19_o for_o as_o saint_n augustine_n say_v all_o the_o commandment_n of_o god_n be_v fulfil_v when_o the_o sin_n &_o fault_n be_v not_o impute_v but_o pardon_v but_o if_o they_o will_v say_v that_o a_o man_n be_v separate_v from_o christ_n be_v able_a to_o do_v any_o good_a and_o keep_v the_o law_n of_o god_n they_o be_v in_o a_o great_a error_n and_o heresy_n for_o christ_n himself_o say_v that_o a_o tree_n can_v bring_v forth_o no_o good_a fruit_n 7._o except_o it_o be_v make_v good_a first_o but_o no_o man_n be_v good_a of_o his_o own_o self_n as_o it_o have_v be_v declare_v already_o ergo_fw-la he_o can_v not_o bring_v forth_o good_a fruit_n again_o bide_v in_o i_o and_o i_o in_o you_o as_o the_o branch_n can_v not_o bear_v fruit_n of_o itself_o 15._o except_o it_o bide_v in_o the_o vine_n no_o more_o can_v you_o except_o you_o abide_v in_o i_o thus_o you_o see_v by_o christ_n our_o saviour_n own_o word_n that_o it_o lie_v not_o in_o man_n power_n to_o bring_v any_o good_a fruit_n of_o himself_o except_o he_o be_v graft_v in_o christ_n for_o saint_n augustine_n do_v show_v what_o we_o be_v without_o christ_n 49._o when_o he_o

than_o we_o may_v aswell_o gather_v of_o the_o word_n that_o follow_v that_o there_o be_v neither_o priest_n nor_o christ_n body_n for_o as_o in_o the_o former_a sentence_n chrisostome_n say_v that_o we_o may_v not_o think_v that_o we_o see_v bread_n and_o wine_n so_o in_o the_o second_o sentence_n he_o say_v that_o we_o may_v not_o think_v that_o we_o receive_v the_o body_n of_o christ_n of_o the_o priest_n hand_n now_o if_o upon_o the_o second_o sentence_n the_o papist_n will_v say_v it_o can_v not_o be_v true_o gather_v that_o in_o the_o holy_a communion_n there_o be_v not_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n minister_v by_o the_o priest_n then_o must_v they_o confess_v also_o that_o it_o can_v not_o be_v well_o and_o true_o gather_v upon_o the_o first_o sentence_n that_o there_o be_v no_o
