believe_v this_o 3_o we_o also_o distinguish_v this_o faith_n from_o the_o assent_n whereby_o some_o have_v peculiarlie_o apply_v some_o peculiar_a promise_n make_v unto_o themselves_o that_o be_v

offer_v in_o he_o we_o do_v condemn_v therefore_o all_o such_o sophistry_n as_o do_v confound_v these_o two_o sort_n of_o faith_n and_o especial_o those_o who_o take_v faith_n for_o the_o obedience_n that_o be_v yield_v unto_o god_n commandment_n do_v by_o that_o mean_n mingle_v the_o one_o of_o they_o with_o the_o other_o 5_o we_o affirm_v this_o faith_n to_o be_v the_o mere_a gift_n of_o god_n

they_o be_v appoint_v to_o signify_v whereas_o then_o the_o minister_n be_v say_v to_o work_v together_o with_o god_n it_o be_v so_o to_o be_v take_v as_o they_o be_v use_v but_o for_o the_o outward_a

in_o a_o moment_n by_o the_o inward_a operation_n of_o his_o spirit_n extraordinary_o to_o regenerate_v his_o elect_a 5_o but_o this_o extraordinary_a work_n of_o god_n be_v neither_o to_o be_v

of_o the_o good_a order_n of_o this_o sacred_a ministry_n because_o the_o lord_n do_v as_o often_o and_o as_o far_o as_o he_o think_v good_a revenge_v the_o negligencie_n and_o wickedness_n of_o the_o

and_o of_o great_a account_n and_o they_o be_v both_o the_o full_a remission_n of_o all_o sin_n as_o well_o original_a as_o actual_a by_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n and_o also_o the_o bestow_n upon_o

also_o who_o make_v a_o subalternal_a or_o second_o providence_n that_o be_v do_v attribute_n unto_o the_o true_a god_n a_o general_a kind_n of_o providence_n whereas_o they_o ascribe_v unto_o saint_n

whereas_o they_o will_v have_v man_n and_o their_o affair_n to_o be_v guide_v by_o the_o power_n but_o not_o by_o the_o appointment_n of_o god_n four_o now_o though_o nothing_o can_v be_v do_v but_o

eleven_o sort_n of_o principle_n concern_v god_n eternal_a predestination_n now_o that_o we_o have_v speak_v of_o god_n providence_n it_o follow_v that_o we_o deal_v of_o praedestination_n 1_o first_o in_o general_n praedestination_n be_v that_o aeternal_a and_o immovable_a decree_n of_o god_n whereby_o as_o it_o please_v his_o majesty_n he_o have_v decree_v all_o thing_n both_o universallie_n

2_o secondlie_o apply_v this_o decree_n in_o special_a unto_o mankind_n we_o call_v praedestination_n that_o eternal_a decree_n such_o as_o we_o have_v already_o speak_v of_o whereby_o he_o have_v immutable_o purpose_v from_o all_o eternity_n by_o save_v some_o in_o his_o great_a mercy_n and_o by_o damn_v other_o in_o his_o most_o just_a severity_n to_o manifest_v himself_o what_o he_o be_v indeed_o by_o his_o effect_n namely_o that_o he_o be_v most_o merciful_a and_o most_o just_a 3_o among_o those_o second_o cause_n as_o far_o as_o they_o concern_v mankind_n who_o proper_o this_o

execute_v the_o purpose_n of_o this_o eternal_a praedestination_n otherwise_o he_o shall_v be_v the_o author_n of_o sin_n which_o can_v be_v to_o create_v man_n good_a that_o be_v such_o as_o both_o the_o judgement_n of_o his_o understanding_n can_v well_o and_o uprightlie_o see_v into_o the_o thing_n lay_v before_o he_o and_o upright_o judge_v of_o they_o and_o also_o the_o desire_n of_o his_o will_n shall_v be_v just_a and_o every_o way_n even_o 5_o it_o behove_v also_o that_o this_o man_n shall_v be_v endue_v with_o a_o free_a and_o a_o voluntary_a power_n to_o move_v himself_o to_o the_o end_n that_o this_o power_n shall_v be_v a_o forcible_a and_o a_o selfe-mooving_a beginning_n of_o the_o action_n of_o man_n 6_o it_o behoove_v this_o man_n also_o to_o have_v ability_n if_o he_o will_v to_o fall_v from_o this_o uprightness_n and_o goodness_n that_o a_o way_n may_v be_v open_v both_o unto_o the_o mercy_n and_o the_o justice_n of_o god_n 7_o it_o be_v so_o far_o then_o that_o god_n bereave_v our_o first_o parent_n of_o the_o liberty_n of_o human_a will_n &_o the_o voluntary_a inclination_n to_o be_v carry_v both_o way_n that_o on_o the_o other_o side_n he_o make_v no_o

other_o necessity_n upon_o the_o event_n which_o he_o have_v determine_v than_o such_o as_o he_o will_v have_v second_o cause_n to_o be_v move_v according_a unto_o their_o own_o nature_n whence_o it_o follow_v that_o it_o do_v not_o take_v away_o the_o contingencie_n or_o voluntarines_n of_o man_n will_n as_o shall_v be_v discuss_v more_o full_o god_n willing_a in_o the_o discourse_n concern_v the_o nature_n of_o man_n 9_o those_o two_o therefore_o who_o be_v the_o first_o of_o all_o mankind_n although_o in_o regard_n of_o that_o which_o be_v to_o come_v to_o pass_v they_o fall_v not_o without_o the_o unchaungeable_a appointment_n of_o god_n yet_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o cause_n inhaerent_a in_o they_o and_o the_o proper_a beginning_n of_o their_o action_n they_o fall_v

who_o deprave_a itself_o 10_o therefore_o we_o do_v retain_v these_o scholastical_a distinction_n of_o necessity_n and_o compulsion_n of_o natural_a and_o voluntary_a of_o absolute_a and_o conditional_a of_o enforce_a and_o ensue_a necessity_n as_o true_a and_o profitable_a 11_o this_o fall_n bring_v with_o it_o that_o which_o be_v convey_v unto_o all_o man_n as_o god_n have_v

make_v choice_n between_o good_a and_o evil_a but_o not_o between_o evil_a and_o evil_a be_v now_o altogether_o lose_v yet_o there_o remain_v still_o both_o in_o the_o understanding_n and_o also_o in_o the_o will_n though_o servant_n unto_o sin_n certain_a voluntary_a motion_n 13_o out_o of_o this_o bondage_n god_n who_o be_v bind_v unto_o no_o man_n do_v when_o he_o think_v good_a call_v &_o enlighten_v those_o who_o according_a unto_o his_o eternal_a fore-appointed_n election_n in_o christ_n it_o please_v he_o of_o his_o mere_a mercy_n to_o choose_v and_o have_v bestow_v faith_n upon_o

cause_n of_o election_n which_o be_v fore-ordained_n from_o eternity_n neither_o do_v we_o teach_v that_o any_o man_n be_v elect_v because_o he_o shall_v either_o believe_v or_o do_v well_o but_o

the_o conclusion_n 1._o the_o preface_n our_o father_z which_o art_n in_o heaven_n 4_o father_z this_o word_n do_v first_o of_o all_o teach_v we_o the_o foundation_n of_o our_o faith_n namely_o the_o distinction_n of_o the_o person_n for_o the_o father_z be_v one_o the_o son_n be_v a_o other_o 5_o these_o petition_n be_v direct_v unto_o the_o person_n of_o the_o father_n that_o thereby_o not_o only_o the_o distinction_n but_o also_o the_o order_n of_o the_o person_n may_v be_v express_v the_o first_o whereof_o be_v the_o father_n the_o second_o be_v the_o son_n of_o the_o father_n and_o the_o three_o be_v the_o holy_a ghost_n of_o the_o father_n and_o the_o son_n 6_o when_o as_o therefore_o we_o call_v upon_o the_o son_n our_o mind_n stay_v not_o in_o he_o but_o arise_v from_o he_o unto_o the_o father_n as_o we_o be_v lead_v by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n unto_o the_o father_n and_o the_o son_n otherwais_o as_o the_o person_n unto_o who_o the_o worship_n of_o invocation_n be_v direct_v be_v not_o separate_v so_o be_v not_o the_o say_a worship_n to_o be_v severallie_o consider_v but_o only_o distinctlie_o see_v the_o same_o reverence_n be_v aequallie_o due_a unto_o all_o the_o 3._o person_n as_o to_o the_o one_o and_o the_o selfsame_a god_n 7_o moreover_o this_o most_o sweet_a name_n of_o a_o father_z do_v regard_v we_o also_o see_v we_o do_v not_o call_v upon_o the_o father_n as_o the_o father_n of_o the_o son_n only_o but_o even_o as_o upon_o our_o father_n 8_o again_o this_o word_n do_v set_v down_o the_o other_o foundation_n of_o our_o trust_n namely_o that_o he_o who_o be_v the_o father_n of_o christ_n be_v also_o we_o though_o in_o a_o diverse_a respect_n 9_o for_o he_o be_v the_o father_n of_o christ_n 1._o by_o nature_n only_o in_o respect_n that_o the_o son_n be_v coessential_a with_o the_o
father_n 2._o in_o respect_n that_o his_o humanity_n be_v conceive_v by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n do_v by_o personal_a union_n subsist_v in_o that_o eternal_a son_n of_o god_n 10_o but_o he_o be_v our_o father_n in_o respect_n of_o adoption_n that_o be_v in_o regard_n that_o he_o do_v vouchsafe_v we_o be_v spiritual_o engraft_v into_o christ_n by_o faith_n to_o be_v call_v child_n as_o those_o who_o be_v elect_v in_o he_o he_o justifi_v &_o will_v one_o day_n glorify_v 11_o therefore_o this_o word_n teach_v we_o again_o that_o belief_n in_o the_o father_n through_o the_o son_n must_v go_v before_o our_o prayer_n the_o which_o if_o it_o be_v not_o present_a prayer_n be_v not_o only_o not_o acceptable_a but_o even_o sin_n in_o the_o presence_n of_o god_n 12_o we_o be_v also_o by_o this_o mean_v teach_v that_o if_o we_o will_v be_v hear_v we_o be_v bind_v to_o come_v in_o the_o presence_n of_o god_n not_o only_o wihout_v any_o consideration_n of_o our_o merit_n which_o can_v be_v none_o at_o all_o but_o contrariwise_o that_o we_o conceive_v our_o prayer_n trust_v in_o his_o only_a free_a adoption_n and_o mercy_n in_o christ_n jesus_n 13_o last_o this_o word_n father_z do_v require_v that_o we_o pray_v unto_o god_n with_o a_o true_a sense_n of_o our_o sin_n past_a and_o a_o firm_a purpose_n to_o amend_v our_o life_n otherwise_o our_o prayer_n be_v in_o vain_a for_o the_o impudency_n be_v not_o tolerable_a to_o call_v he_o father_n who_o we_o be_v not_o sorry_a that_o we_o have_v offend_v and_o who_o ever_o after_o we_o mean_v not_o to_o fear_v and_o reverence_n our_o 14_o this_o do_v put_v we_o in_o mind_n of_o 2._o thing_n both_o be_v of_o great_a moment_n in_o true_a prayer_n 1._o of_o our_o adoption_n whereof_o we_o have_v speak_v whereby_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o he_o who_o have_v that_o only_a son_n by_o nature_n coaeternall_a with_o himself_o do_v account_v we_o his_o son_n adopt_v in_o he_o without_o who_o there_o be_v no_o salvation_n nor_o any_o true_a confidence_n in_o call_v upon_o god_n 2._o that_o true_a love_n be_v to_o be_v join_v with_o faith_n that_o as_o the_o father_n who_o be_v but_o one_o be_v yet_o in_o his_o son_n the_o common_a father_n of_o all_o the_o faithful_a so_o we_o shall_v think_v that_o they_o can_v be_v acknowledge_v for_o son_n who_o be_v not_o in_o love_n with_o their_o brethren_n otherwise_o they_o shall_v be_v account_v to_o be_v in_o the_o body_n who_o sever_v themselves_o from_o the_o member_n thereof_o which_o can_v be_v 15_o this_o conjunction_n consist_v partly_o in_o the_o agreement_n of_o doctrine_n and_o religion_n partly_o in_o the_o affection_n and_o therefore_o before_o we_o can_v true_o call_v upon_o god_n we_o must_v be_v member_n of_o the_o catholic_a church_n and_o have_v a_o regard_n to_o maintain_v peace_n and_o concord_n one_o with_o another_o in_o such_o sort_n as_o all_o unkindness_n and_o hatred_n be_v lay_v aside_o we_o must_v pray_v from_o our_o heart_n even_o for_o our_o enemy_n 16_o but_o this_o conjunction_n can_v be_v perfect_a while_o we_o live_v here_o for_o all_o of_o we_o know_v but_o in_o part_n and_o often_o not_o in_o the_o same_o part_n now_o in_o respect_n of_o mutual_a live_n together_o there_o be_v none_o but_o in_o some_o thing_n he_o show_v himself_o to_o be_v a_o man_n but_o as_o the_o imperfection_n of_o faith_n do_v not_o hinder_v the_o effect_n thereof_o the_o same_o be_v to_o be_v say_v of_o our_o mutual_a agreement_n both_o in_o religion_n and_o also_o in_o affection_n so_o that_o we_o be_v displease_v with_o ourselves_o for_o those_o our_o imperfection_n and_o be_v more_o and_o more_o desirous_a of_o a_o growth_n in_o our_o obedience_n 17_o see_v this_o communion_n of_o faith_n do_v not_o only_o comprehend_v the_o elect_a that_o be_v already_o endue_v with_o faith_n and_o strive_v together_o with_o we_o in_o this_o life_n against_o sin_n but_o even_o those_o that_o be_v to_o believe_v and_o lie_v as_o yet_o uncalled_a know_v only_o unto_o god_n our_o prayer_n also_o do_v belong_v unto_o they_o 18_o but_o as_o for_o those_o who_o spirit_n be_v already_o gather_v with_o christ_n and_o who_o body_n be_v a_o

such_o prayer_n be_v mere_a thanks-givings_a do_v nevertheless_o want_v a_o ground_n and_o therefore_o be_v to_o be_v abolish_v as_o the_o very_a issue_n of_o it_o have_v prove_v for_o it_o be_v
