or_o any_o 2._o for_o the_o reason_n that_o god_n be_v the_o author_n of_o the_o whole_a do_v no_o way_n deny_v man_n efficiency_n or_o take_v the_o denomination_n of_o the_o act_n from_o he_o where_o cause_n be_v subordinate_a the_o whole_a effect_n be_v produce_v by_o both_o thus_o when_o in_o write_v the_o teacher_n guide_v the_o learner_n hand_n they_o both_o write_v the_o whole_a every_o

say_v the_o wheel_n not_o the_o plummet_n turn_v round_o but_o the_o plummet_n be_v the_o first_o mover_n thus_o when_o the_o earth_n spring_v forth_o her_o fruit_n god_n be_v the_o author_n of_o they_o of_o all_o and_o every_o part_n of_o they_o yet_o the_o earth_n spring_v they_o though_o he_o produce_v they_o he_o spring_v they_o not_o but_o make_v she_o to_o spring_v they_o the_o

god_n work_v and_o man_n work_v and_o man_n not_o one_o part_n only_o but_o the_o whole_a but_o this_o in_o subordination_n to_o god_n who_o work_v the_o whole_a likewise_o yet_o man_n believe_v not_o

grace_n renew_v the_o will_v the_o principle_n by_o which_o he_o believe_v he_o believe_v in_o who_o be_v the_o act_n of_o believe_v produce_v it_o be_v not_o produce_v by_o god_n in_o himself_o but_o by_o influx_n from_o himself_o in_o man._n it_o be_v no_o immanent_a action_n in_o god_n but_o in_o man_n in_o he_o produce_v by_o a_o transient_a action_n of_o god_n upon_o he_o therefore_o i_o say_v with_o austin_n it_o be_v certain_a that_o when_o we_o will_v we_o will_v but_o it_o be_v he_o that_o make_v we_o to_o will_v that_o which_o be_v good_a who_o work_v in_o we_o both_o to_o will_v and_o to_o do_v so_o that_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o when_o we_o believe_v we_o believe_v but_o it_o be_v he_o that_o make_v we_o to_o believe_v and_o that_o not_o in_o part_n but_o in_o whole_a apposite_o bernard_n ascribe_v all_o that_o be_v good_a in_o man_n to_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n not_o partly_o grace_n say_v he_o and_o partly_o free_a will_n but_o each_o of_o they_o by_o a_o undivided_a work_n perform_v the_o whole_a this_o the_o whole_a and_o that_o the_o whole_a but_o as_o the_o whole_a be_v in_o this_o so_o the_o whole_a be_v from_o that_o excellent_o austin_n prove_v not_o only_o the_o whole_a of_o faith_n to_o be_v from_o god_n but_o the_o denial_n of_o it_o to_o be_v pelagianism_n have_v first_o prove_v faith_n to_o be_v of_o god_n he_o add_v as_o former_o we_o have_v quote_v he_o furthermore_o if_o god_n work_v our_o faith_n act_v in_o our_o heart_n in_o a_o wonderful_a manner_n that_o we_o may_v believe_v shall_v we_o fear_v lest_o he_o be_v not_o able_a to_o do_v the_o whole_a now_o follow_v the_o pelagianism_n of_o the_o denial_n and_o therefore_o man_n challenge_v to_o himself_o the_o first_o part_n of_o it_o that_o he_o may_v deserve_v from_o he_o to_o receive_v the_o last_o s_o e_z if_o any_o thing_n be_v do_v by_o this_o mean_n but_o that_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n one_o way_n or_o other_o may_v be_v give_v according_a to_o our_o merit_n and_o so_o grace_n shall_v not_o be_v grace_n then_o in_o the_o prosecution_n of_o this_o discourse_n he_o blame_v the_o pride_n of_o man_n that_o he_o will_v as_o it_o be_v compound_v with_o god_n so_o as_o to_o challenge_v part_n of_o his_o faith_n to_o himself_o and_o leave_v part_n thereof_o to_o god_n and_o which_o be_v yet_o more_o arrogant_a he_o will_v take_v the_o first_o part_n to_o
