aurea_fw-la i_o discourse_v of_o a_o perfect_a freewill_n to_o which_o i_o refer_v you_o and_o this_o i_o must_v add_v to_o it_o that_o as_o by_o a_o penny_n we_o know_v how_o a_o shilling_n be_v

must_v be_v a_o separation_n between_o the_o cause_n and_o the_o effect_n which_o be_v the_o utmost_a satisfaction_n in_o this_o freewill_n neither_o be_v a_o talon_n give_v or_o rather_o move_v in_o

and_o then_o experience_n will_v soon_o open_v your_o eye_n in_o freewill_n and_o when_o all_o be_v do_v you_o can_v pretend_v to_o a_o perfect_a freewill_n or_o to_o be_v save_v by_o your_o freewill_n since_o by_o the_o work_v of_o the_o law_n no_o flesh_n shall_v be_v justify_v because_o he_o can_v keep_v it_o in_o every_o point_n we_o must_v then_o search_v out_o upon_o what_o term_n our_o salvation_n do_v depend_v and_o that_o be_v the_o freewill_n we_o must_v inquire_v into_o no_o other_o freewill_n we_o can_v pretend_v to_o will_v do_v we_o any_o kindness_n i_o be_o now_o come_v to_o see_v whether_o we_o have_v a_o particular_a freewill_n in_o those_o term_n our_o satisfaction_n of_o salvation_n do_v depend_v and_o since_o it_o do_v not_o depend_v on_o the_o work_v of_o the_o law_n because_o we_o can_v pretend_v to_o keep_v they_o perfect_o we_o must_v be_v save_v by_o faith_n alone_o which_o save_v faith_n i_o have_v before_o lay_v down_o in_o plain_a proof_n from_o scripture_n the_o jew_n have_v so_o little_a freewill_n in_o this_o faith_n that_o some_o have_v no_o desire_n to_o look_v after_o it_o and_o some_o that_o do_v look_v after_o it_o can_v not_o obtain_v it_o and_o other_o as_o the_o gentile_n that_o seek_v not_o after_o it_o obtain_v it_o and_o what_o prerogative_n we_o can_v pretend_v to_o above_o these_o i_o leave_v to_o your_o own_o experience_n and_o so_o i_o shall_v draw_v to_o a_o conclusion_n thus_o when_o we_o depend_v on_o work_n by_o the_o way_n of_o freewill_n we_o then_o depend_v on_o our_o own_o righteousness_n and_o so_o like_o peter_n we_o may_v fall_v into_o a_o ditch_n or_o deny_v christ_n or_o some_o other_o danger_n but_o when_o we_o look_v upon_o work_n or_o goodness_n as_o free_o give_v we_o we_o not_o in_o the_o least_o deserve_a or_o have_v a_o power_n but_o what_o be_v give_v to_o endeavour_v for_o they_o whereby_o we_o look_v upon_o ourselves_o as_o nothing_o and_o that_o these_o work_n be_v not_o meritorious_a but_o only_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n then_o we_o depend_v clear_o and_o only_o on_o the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n or_o his_o blood_n this_o be_v safe_a and_o throughout_o the_o scripture_n those_o that_o have_v the_o power_n give_v they_o to_o trust_v in_o god_n he_o lead_v they_o in_o his_o way_n though_o not_o to_o be_v so_o perfect_a here_o on_o earth_n as_o not_o
