and_o inclination_n in_o their_o will_n to_o abandon_v and_o leave_v those_o course_n wherein_o they_o be_v engage_v and_o frame_v themselves_o to_o better_a this_o seem_v so_o unreasonable_a that_o

we_o say_v to_o the_o scripture_n last_o mention_v which_o seem_v to_o place_v the_o cause_n of_o man_n perish_v in_o a_o defectivenesse_n of_o power_n and_o not_o in_o any_o weakness_n in_o their_o

interpose_v with_o some_o great_a power_n then_o ordinary_a no_o man_n can_v come_v to_o i_o no_o man_n have_v any_o foresight_n of_o any_o complete_a power_n of_o come_v to_o i_o except_o my_o

to_o such_o and_o such_o effect_n the_o first_o we_o may_v call_v a_o perfect_a and_o complete_a power_n that_o be_v such_o a_o power_n that_o have_v all_o thing_n as_o it_o be_v by_o it_o to_o reduce_v itself_o into_o act_n that_o we_o call_v a_o complete_a and_o perfect_a power_n of_o the_o will_v the_o other_o be_v a_o incomplete_a and_o imperfect_a power_n which_o be_v this_o that_o though_o there_o be_v a_o sufficiency_n of_o power_n in_o relation_n to_o such_o a_o effect_n in_o one_o kind_n yet_o nevertheless_o there_o be_v a_o defectivenesse_n of_o power_n in_o another_o

defective_a incomplete_a power_n because_o it_o have_v not_o all_o thing_n at_o hand_n which_o be_v requisite_a to_o reduce_v it_o into_o act_n as_o for_o example_n when_o a_o man_n have_v a_o large_a estate_n he_o have_v wherewith_o to_o live_v generous_o but_o yet_o this_o be_v but_o a_o incomplete_a power_n if_o he_o have_v no_o other_o for_o it_o be_v not_o a_o fullness_n of_o estate_n that_o will_v help_v he_o to_o do_v it_o if_o he_o have_v a_o penurious_a disposition_n in_o he_o alas_o he_o be_v never_o the_o near_o to_o such_o a_o complete_a life_n but_o if_o together_o with_o a_o full_a estate_n he_o have_v a_o ingenuous_a disposition_n now_o there_o be_v a_o complete_a and_o perfect_a power_n in_o a_o man_n to_o live_v free_o and_o so_o we_o know_v there_o be_v many_o such_o expression_n in_o scripture_n if_o thou_o will_v thou_o can_v make_v i_o clean_o now_o there_o be_v a_o plain_a difference_n between_o christ_n will_n and_o power_n and_o it_o be_v very_o considerable_a that_o the_o scripture_n itself_o use_v both_o kind_n of_o expression_n speak_v both_o way_n sometime_o give_v the_o n●me_n of_o power_n to_o a_o mere_a executive_a power_n when_o as_o there_o be_v no_o will_n in_o conjunction_n to_o reduce_v to_o act_v and_o again_o another_o while_n there_o be_v not_o a_o will_v suitable_a to_o a_o executive_a power_n he_o deny_v the_o very_a name_n of_o a_o power_n to_o he_o and_o this_o it_o do_v both_o speak_n of_o god_n and_o man._n matth._n 3._o vers_fw-la 9_o god_n be_v able_a of_o these_o stone_n to_o raise_v up_o child_n here_o john_n assert_v a_o power_n to_o god_n to_o raise_v up_o etc._n etc._n but_o yet_o there_o be_v no_o will_n in_o god_n to_o do_v it_o again_o when_o there_o be_v not_o a_o willingness_n in_o god_n to_o do_v a_o thing_n there_o the_o scripture_n deny_v so_o much_o as_o a_o power_n to_o he_o as_o it_o be_v say_v of_o christ_n he_o can_v do_v no_o great_a work_n there_o because_o of_o their_o unbelief_n now_o there_o be_v a_o executive_a power_n in_o christ_n rich_a and_o full_a whereby_o to_o have_v wrought_v any_o great_a miracle_n there_o but_o because_o he_o have_v no_o will_n therefore_o it_o be_v say_v he_o have_v not_o power_n mean_v no_o completeness_n of_o power_n which_o require_v a_o sufficiency_n of_o executive_a power_n and_o a_o sufficiency_n of_o will_n and_o inclination_n to_o put_v that_o power_n into_o act_n and_o so_o we_o see_v the_o like_a expression_n use_v when_o the_o scripture_n speak_v of_o man_n sometime_o it_o call_v that_o by_o the_o name_n of_o power_n to_o do_v a_o thing_n which_o be_v only_o a_o executive_a power_n gen._n 13.29_o it_o be_v in_o the_o power_n of_o my_o hand_n to_o do_v thou_o hurt_v that_o be_v a_o sufficiency_n of_o

where_o there_o be_v a_o sufficiency_n of_o power_n in_o this_o kind_a the_o holy_a ghost_n deny_v a_o sufficiency_n of_o power_n john_n 1.3_o 9_o can_v sin_n now_o he_o that_o be_v most_o bear_v of_o god_n and_o deep_a baptize_v in_o the_o spirit_n of_o grace_n and_o holiness_n have_v a_o executive_a power_n to_o commit_v sin_n as_o well_o as_o any_o but_o because_o he_o have_v no_o disposition_n thereto_o therefore_o the_o scripture_n deny_v he_o have_v power_n to_o do_v it_o he_o have_v no_o complete_a power_n to_o reduce_v that_o power_n into_o act_n 2_o cor._n 13.8_o for_o we_o can_v do_v nothing_o against_o the_o truth_n but_o for_o it_o they_o have_v a_o executive_a power_n to_o have_v utter_v word_n of_o excommunication_n but_o we_o can_v do_v nothing_o etc._n etc._n that_o be_v his_o will_n be_v averse_a from_o make_v any_o such_o use_n of_o his_o power_n thereby_o to_o act_v any_o thing_n that_o may_v hinder_v the_o couse_n of_o the_o gospel_n numb_a 22.38_o say_a balaam_n have_v i_o any_o power_n to_o do_v any_o thing_n that_o be_v have_v i_o any_o will_n or_o any_o ground_n or_o reason_n to_o be_v willing_a to_o say_v any_o evil_n which_o thou_o will_v have_v i_o

in_o the_o close_a of_o all_o in_o what_o consideration_n the_o assertion_n lay_v down_o be_v necessary_a to_o be_v maintain_v without_o maintain_v whereof_o we_o shall_v represent_v god_n proceed_n
