for_o christ_n argument_n be_v not_o draw_v from_o the_o cause_n but_o from_o the_o effect_n as_o if_o christ_n have_v say_v we_o may_v know_v by_o her_o great_a love_n that_o great_a gift_n be_v

draw_v any_o other_o mean_v out_o of_o christ_n word_n the_o reason_n be_v evident_a because_o christ_n say_v plain_o that_o the_o debt_n be_v free_o forgive_v the_o debtor_n who_o be_v not_o able_a to_o pay_v the_o debt_n for_o otherwise_o mary_n forgiveness_n can_v have_v no_o coherence_n with_o the_o similitude_n of_o the_o debtor_n out_o of_o this_o discourse_n these_o point_n be_v evident_o deduce_v first_o that_o we_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n 4._o not_o by_o nature_n for_o so_o we_o be_v his_o enemy_n and_o the_o child_n of_o wrath_n but_o by_o grace_n and_o adoption_n in_o jesus_n christ._n second_o that_o god_n choose_v we_o to_o be_v his_o child_n before_o we_o be_v bear_v three_o that_o he_o choose_v we_o not_o because_o we_o be_v holy_a but_o that_o we_o may_v be_v holy_a and_o immaculate_a in_o his_o sight_n four_o that_o he_o predestinate_v we_o to_o be_v his_o child_n by_o adoption_n not_o for_o any_o good_a work_n which_o we_o either_o have_v do_v or_o can_v do_v but_o for_o his_o own_o good_a pleasure_n to_o the_o glory_n of_o his_o grace_n for_o as_o to_o do_v any_o work_n at_o all_o before_o we_o be_v bear_v 4._o be_v altogether_o impossible_a so_o to_o do_v good_a work_n when_o we_o be_v bear_v see_v we_o be_v conceive_v in_o sin_n bear_v in_o sin_n and_o by_o nature_n the_o child_n of_o warth_fw-mi be_v impossible_a in_o like_a manner_n five_o that_o all_o our_o good_a work_n be_v the_o effect_n and_o fruit_n of_o our_o predestination_n for_o if_o it_o be_v true_a as_o it_o be_v most_o true_a else_o the_o apostle_n be_v a_o liar_n that_o we_o be_v elect_v to_o be_v holy_a and_o to_o do_v good_a work_n it_o be_v also_o true_a 51.5_o it_o can_v never_o be_v deny_v that_o holy_a life_n and_o good_a work_n be_v the_o effect_n of_o our_o election_n and_o predestination_n in_o christ_n jesus_n for_o this_o cause_n say_v the_o apostle_n that_o predestination_n proceed_v free_o of_o god_n eternal_a purpose_n 5._o justification_n of_o predestination_n and_o glorification_n of_o justification_n for_o first_o he_o choose_v we_o in_o christ_n then_o he_o justify_v we_o in_o christ_n three_o and_o last_o he_o glorifi_v we_o for_o his_o own_o name_n sake_n b._n c._n and_o beside_o in_o the_o same_o place_n damnation_n be_v give_v to_o have_v work_n 34._o get_v you_o away_o from_o i_o you_o curse_v say_v christ_n into_o everlasting_a fire_n which_o be_v prepare_v for_o the_o devil_n and_o his_o angel_n for_o i_o be_v a_o hungry_a and_o you_o give_v i_o not_o to_o eat_v see_v then_o the_o scripture_n declare_v plain_o that_o bad_a work_n deserve_v damnation_n and_o he_o the_o cause_n thereof_o as_o plain_o do_v it_o also_o signify_v that_o good_a work_n merit_v heaven_n and_o be_v the_o cause_n thereof_o t._n b._n i_o answer_v that_o there_o be_v great_a disparity_n between_o salvation_n &_o damnation_n &_o therefore_o that_o good_a work_n can_v not_o merit_v salvation_n though_o evil_a work_n be_v enough_o for_o damnation_n the_o reason_n hereof_o be_v evident_a both_o in_o philosophy_n and_o divinity_n because_o as_o s._n dionysius_n areopagita_n say_v and_o the_o popish_a angelical_a doctor_n aquinas_n

infinite_a distance_n between_o god_n and_o man_n the_o work_n and_o the_o reward_n as_o their_o angelical_a doctor_n have_v well_o observe_v but_o the_o distance_n and_o inequality_n between_o the_o
