who_o power_n i_o be_o force_v to_o obey_v who_o drag_v and_o determine_v my_o will_n which_o way_n soever_o he_o please_v and_o lead_v i_o about_o in_o triumph_n without_o the_o least_o ability_n to_o resist_v he_o or_o dispute_v his_o pleasure_n but_o more_o than_o this_o the_o temptation_n of_o the_o devil_n be_v as_o great_a a_o demonstration_n as_o we_o can_v desire_v that_o he_o himself_o

have_v why_o do_v he_o use_v so_o much_o art_n and_o insinuation_n with_o we_o which_o often_o fail_v of_o the_o end_n they_o be_v use_v for_o will_v so_o malignant_a a_o adversary_n go_v about_o as_o

to_o compel_v we_o to_o it_o and_o know_v a_o much_o sure_a and_o short_a way_n to_o execute_v his_o pernicious_a design_n upon_o we_o if_o his_o power_n be_v not_o inferior_a to_o his_o malice_n a_o

leave_v it_o to_o a_o trial_n of_o ingenuity_n to_o comply_v with_o he_o or_o not_o can_v he_o twine_v and_o bend_v our_o will_n as_o he_o please_v and_o elicit_v what_o kind_n of_o act_n he_o be_v

of_o our_o reason_n and_o conscience_n when_o we_o feel_v something_o within_o we_o prompt_v we_o to_o break_v a_o divine_a commandment_n in_o view_n of_o the_o glitter_a vengeance_n that_o hang_v

have_v all_o the_o natural_a faculty_n that_o be_v requisite_a to_o resist_v temptation_n we_o neither_o want_v a_o power_n of_o discern_v between_o good_a and_o evil_n or_o of_o know_v what_o we_o

therefore_o a_o wise_a and_o good_a creator_n can_v never_o make_v we_o reasonable_a without_o make_v we_o free_a agent_n and_o if_o we_o be_v not_o so_o there_o will_v be_v no_o occasion_n for_o

the_o only_a use_n the_o tempter_n make_v of_o they_o be_v to_o betray_v our_o will_n and_o abuse_v our_o liberty_n by_o they_o which_o show_v that_o he_o can_v fasten_v any_o guilt_n upon_o we_o against_o our_o will_n and_o that_o the_o utmost_a he_o can_v do_v be_v to_o solicit_v excite_v and_o cheat_v we_o if_o we_o will_v be_v cheat_v by_o tinsel_n and_o faithless_a promise_n into_o a_o fatal_a compliance_n with_o his_o method_n of_o ruin_n and_o destruction_n i_o say_v if_o we_o will_v be_v cheat_v for_o there_o be_v no_o necessity_n that_o we_o shall_v our_o freedom_n be_v our_o own_o by_o a_o natural_a right_n and_o the_o exercise_n of_o it_o be_v so_o essential_a to_o our_o present_a state_n of_o trial_n and_o probation_n that_o there_o be_v no_o fear_n if_o we_o believe_v a_o providence_n over_o we_o that_o our_o enemy_n be_v it_o in_o his_o power_n shall_v be_v permit_v to_o wrest_v it_o from_o we_o all_o the_o fear_n be_v of_o our_o self_n lest_o we_o shall_v

and_o then_o he_o must_v be_v infinite_o good_a and_o be_v so_o when_o he_o make_v the_o world_n and_o will_v be_v so_o to_o eternal_a age_n be_v the_o same_o yesterday_o to_o day_n and_o for_o ever_o this_o be_v as_o bright_a a_o truth_n as_o any_o be_v within_o the_o whole_a circle_n of_o science_n there_o be_v no_o foundation_n of_o certainty_n if_o there_o be_v no_o god_n and_o there_o can_v be_v none_o that_o be_v not_o perfect_o good_a let_v we_o therefore_o hold_v to_o this_o principle_n that_o god_n be_v infinite_a in_o goodness_n and_o knowledge_n and_o all_o other_o perfection_n and_o the_o consequence_n will_v be_v that_o his_o create_a man_n after_o he_o have_v foresee_v his_o fall_n be_v no_o reasonable_a objection_n against_o his_o goodness_n or_o any_o of_o his_o

how_o it_o consist_v with_o the_o goodness_n of_o god_n to_o make_v a_o creature_n who_o he_o know_v will_v sin_v and_o be_v miseralbe_n but_o then_o the_o great_a that_o difficulty_n be_v the_o

to_o content_v ourselves_o with_o what_o we_o certain_o do_v or_o may_v know_v and_o believe_v concern_v he_o and_o his_o attribute_n who_o be_v thou_o 21._o rom._n 9.20_o 21._o o_o man_n that_o

11.33_o oh_o the_o depth_n of_o the_o riches_n both_o of_o the_o wisdom_n and_o knowledge_n of_o god_n how_o unsearchable_a be_v his_o judgement_n and_o his_o way_n past_o find_v out_o prop._n ii_o though_o god_n be_v infinite_o good_a in_o himself_o we_o must_v not_o expect_v that_o he_o shall_v make_v his_o creature_n perfect_o good_a and_o happy_a for_o as_o absolute_a perfection_n be_v essential_a to_o the_o notion_n of_o god_n so_o be_v dependence_n and_o imperfection_n to_o the_o notion_n of_o a_o creature_n which_o prove_v that_o there_o be_v degree_n of_o perfection_n which_o

goodness_n to_o every_o creature_n as_o be_v agreeable_a to_o their_o several_a nature_n and_o capacity_n and_o conducive_a to_o wise_a and_o excellent_a end_n i.e._n that_o every_o thing_n shall_v be_v make_v good_a in_o its_o kind_a and_o in_o proportion_n to_o the_o good_a end_n of_o its_o creation_n and_o this_o rule_n as_o moses_n tell_v we_o be_v exact_o observe_v to_o the_o least_o mite_n

there_o be_v any_o defect_n in_o the_o creation_n of_o man_n or_o angel_n who_o be_v the_o top_n and_o glory_n of_o the_o creation_n and_o if_o they_o be_v make_v very_o good_a in_o the_o unerring_a judgement_n of_o god_n though_o we_o may_v fancy_v still_o that_o they_o may_v have_v be_v make_v better_o we_o can_v accuse_v the_o goodness_n of_o god_n for_o make_v they_o as_o they_o be_v make_v both_o because_o he_o judge_v infinite_o better_o than_o we_o do_v and_o because_o to_o be_v make_v very_o good_a imply_v no_o less_o than_o that_o god_n advance_v they_o at_o first_o to_o a_o very_a

to_o his_o infinite_a wisdom_n and_o since_o god_n be_v as_o wise_a as_o he_o be_v good_a all_o we_o can_v promise_v ourselves_o be_v that_o he_o will_v do_v all_o the_o good_a that_o can_v be_v wise_o do_v but_o no_o more_o the_o sum_n of_o this_o be_v that_o absolute_a and_o perfect_a goodness_n be_v essential_a to_o god_n we_o must_v not_o look_v for_o it_o in_o the_o creature_n who_o nature_n be_v uncapable_a of_o it_o and_o that_o relative_a or_o create_a goodness_n be_v and_o must_v be_v commensurate_a to_o the_o nature_n of_o creature_n and_o the_o good_a end_n for_o which_o they_o be_v create_v and_o then_o if_o god_n give_v man_n a_o excellent_a nature_n and_o endue_v he_o with_o all_o the_o perfection_n of_o mind_n and_o body_n that_o be_v requisite_a to_o his_o

this_o be_v the_o primitive_a state_n both_o of_o angel_n and_o man_n but_o the_o question_n be_v where_o be_v the_o fault_n of_o it_o when_o both_o the_o one_o and_o the_o other_o be_v make_v

and_o then_o it_o will_v be_v hard_a to_o find_v one_o any_o where_o else_o but_o still_o some_o man_n can_v bring_v their_o mind_n to_o apprehend_v but_o that_o it_o must_v needs_o argue_v a_o
