according_a to_o the_o natural_a and_o eternal_a custom_n even_o so_o if_o according_a to_o the_o opposite_a tenet_n god_n have_v ab_fw-la aterno_fw-la prefix_v a_o irresistible_a tenor_n and_o method_n agreeable_a to_o which_o all_o thing_n shall_v for_o ever_o necessary_o come_v to_o pass_v god_n may_v ab_fw-la aeterno_fw-la also_o from_o the_o same_o instant_n he_o make_v his_o decree_n let_v all_o thing_n alone_a according_a to_o epicurus_n his_o conceit_n fluent_a conceit_n for_o our_o opposite_n say_v quae_fw-la deus_fw-la decrevit_fw-la sponte_fw-la fluent_a see_v all_o thing_n must_v come_v orderly_a to_o pass_v by_o virtue_n of_o his_o decree_n though_o he_o sleep_v all_o the_o while_n object_n 2_o but_o our_o doctrine_n they_o say_v contradict_v the_o scripture_n our_o saviour_n tell_v the_o apostle_n that_o the_o hair_n of_o their_o head_n be_v number_v that_o not_o so_o much_o as_o a_o contemptible_a sparrow_n fall_v without_o his_o father_n therefore_o the_o petty_a matter_n in_o the_o world_n be_v determine_v by_o god_n himself_o i_o remember_v the_o marginal_a note_n indeed_o in_o the_o protestant_n italian_n bible_n upon_o matth._n 10.29_o upon_o these_o word_n yet_o not_o one_o of_o they_o fall_v to_o the_o ground_n without_o your_o father_n say_v thus_o i_o now_v '_o intra_fw-la venga_fw-la it_o decreto_fw-la ela_fw-la volenta_fw-la sva_fw-la etc._n etc._n i._n e._n but_o so_o that_o his_o decree_n and_o will_n come_v between_o but_o this_o gloss_n be_v impertinent_a the_o meaning_n of_o the_o place_n be_v this_o not_o one_o of_o they_o fall_v without_o god_n privity_n and_o permission_n the_o scope_n of_o our_o saviour_n be_v to_o comfort_n and_o encourage_v his_o disciple_n who_o he_o be_v now_o send_v abroad_o into_o the_o world_n as_o sheep_n among_o wolf_n to_o this_o purpose_n he_o tell_v they_o that_o the_o hair_n of_o their_o head_n be_v number_v etc._n etc._n the_o number_n of_o they_o be_v know_v to_o god_n without_o who_o permission_n they_o can_v not_o lose_v one_o of_o they_o that_o not_o so_o much_o as_o a_o sparrow_n fall_v without_o their_o father_n &c_n &c_n i_o e._n without_o the_o knowledge_n and_o permission_n of_o he_o who_o be_v their_o love_a father_n and_o therefore_o he_o bid_v they_o not_o to_o be_v afraid_a see_v if_o such_o trifle_n can_v not_o be_v without_o god_n permission_n doubtless_o god_n who_o be_v their_o more_o special_a observer_n will_v not_o suffer_v man_n to_o meddle_v with_o they_o more_o than_o shall_v be_v for_o his_o glory_n and_o their_o good_a so_o that_o it_o can_v without_o absurdity_n be_v hence_o conclude_v that_o god_n have_v make_v any_o special_a decree_n concern_v sparrow_n for_o as_o st._n paul_n say_v do_v god_n take_v care_n for_o ox_n so_o say_v i_o do_v god_n take_v care_n for_o sparrow_n here_o it_o be_v worth_a the_o observation_n that_o the_o argument_n for_o the_o most_o part_n which_o our_o opposite_n produce_v for_o the_o necessity_n of_o all_o event_n and_o their_o kind_n of_o particular_a providence_n be_v such_o which_o as_o one_o say_v aut_fw-la nihil_fw-la concludunt_fw-la aut_fw-la nimium_fw-la conclude_v either_o not_o so_o much_o or_o more_o than_o they_o will_v have_v they_o be_v much_o like_o the_o garment_n which_o be_v make_v for_o the_o moon_n either_o too_o big_a or_o too_o little_a for_o their_o conclusion_n for_o either_o they_o be_v draw_v from_o particular_a example_n and_o prove_v nothing_o at_o all_o as_o when_o calvin_n prove_v that_o there_o arise_v no_o wind_n without_o a_o special_a decree_n from_o god_n because_o he_o cause_v the_o southwind_n to_o bring_v the_o israelite_n quail_n and_o send_v the_o tempest_n which_o cause_v ionas_n to_o be_v cast_v into_o the_o sea_n or_o else_o they_o be_v deduce_v out_o of_o such_o reason_n and_o scripture_n which_o as_o they_o handle_v they_o prove_v god_n to_o be_v the_o author_n of_o sin_n and_o so_o a_o great_a deal_n more_o than_o they_o be_v willing_a they_o shall_v object_n 3_o but_o our_o opinion_n may_v seem_v to_o patronize_v the_o proud_a error_n concern_v freewill_n for_o if_o god_n do_v not_o necessitate_v our_o action_n but_o leave_v they_o to_o our_o inclination_n so_o that_o it_o be_v in_o our_o power_n to_o work_v or_o not_o work_v we_o have_v freedom_n of_o will_n to_o do_v or_o not_o to_o do_v whatsoever_o we_o do_v contingent_o solution_n these_o word_n which_o we_o do_v contingent_o be_v well_o put_v in_o for_o we_o say_v many_o thing_n be_v do_v contingent_o in_o respect_n of_o god_n yet_o many_o we_o say_v be_v do_v by_o god_n special_a determination_n but_o it_o be_v most_o certain_o true_a that_o good_a duty_n proper_o so_o call_v to_o which_o we_o be_v tie_v pro_fw-la hoc_fw-la statu_fw-la be_v never_o perform_v without_o choice_n and_o freedom_n which_o therefore_o among_o other_o privilege_n of_o christ_n purchase_n be_v restore_v under_o the_o spiritual_a jubilee_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o instate_v on_o we_o by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n as_o one_o special_a part_n of_o our_o redemption_n if_o the_o son_n make_v your_o free_a then_o be_v you_o free_a indeed_o and_o where_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o lord_n be_v there_o be_v liberty_n in_o answer_v then_o to_o the_o objection_n i_o say_v that_o for_o our_o natural_a action_n as_o eat_v walk_a etc._n etc._n i_o believe_v that_o ordinary_o we_o perform_v they_o free_o and_o contingent_o in_o respect_n of_o god_n likewise_o i_o doubt_v not_o but_o as_o the_o ancient_a heathen_n aristides_n socrates_n cato_n fabritius_n so_o many_o now_o a_o day_n perform_v many_o thing_n civil_o and_o moral_o good_a be_v leave_v alone_o expound_v alone_o i_o do_v not_o reject_v the_o opinion_n of_o restringent_a grace_n if_o it_o be_v well_o expound_v to_o their_o contingent_a education_n and_o complexion_n but_o for_o matter_n of_o grace_n and_o salvation_n i_o confess_v to_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n that_o in_o we_o be_v dead_a in_o sin_n and_o trespass_n dwell_v no_o good_a that_o we_o can_v so_o much_o as_o think_v much_o less_o do_v any_o good_a unless_o the_o holy_a ghost_n give_v we_o the_o power_n both_o to_o will_v and_o to_o do_v it_o adam_n before_o his_o fall_n argument_n fall_n the_o opposite_a tenet_n allow_v not_o adam_n free_a will_n in_o his_o innocency_n as_o i_o can_v easy_o prove_v and_o be_v partly_o affirm_v already_o by_o the_o three_o argument_n be_v equal_o poise_v between_o perseverance_n and_o defection_n but_o he_o fall_v by_o the_o freedom_n of_o his_o choice_n lose_v those_o perfection_n which_o make_v he_o free_a so_o that_o if_o his_o posterity_n do_v any_o thing_n true_o good_a it_o be_v from_o god_n not_o from_o themselves_o whatsoever_o bid_v they_o do_v it_o be_v from_o themselves_o not_o from_o god_n here_o it_o may_v be_v note_v that_o we_o may_v do_v many_o thing_n contingent_o in_o respect_n of_o god_n which_o yet_o we_o do_v not_o free_o but_o necessary_o in_o respect_n of_o ourselves_o as_o our_o sin_n be_v contingent_a in_o respect_n of_o he_o because_o he_o never_o impose_v any_o necessity_n of_o sin_v upon_o we_o yet_o they_o be_v necessary_a in_o respect_n of_o ourselves_o see_v we_o be_v leave_v to_o ourselves_o can_v but_o sin_n so_o many_o thing_n which_o be_v contingent_a in_o respect_n of_o our_o nature_n may_v be_v in_o some_o sort_n necessary_a in_o respect_n of_o our_o person_n as_o those_o thing_n which_o our_o complexion_n or_o custom_n and_o habit_n necessitate_v we_o to_o but_o this_o be_v a_o impertinency_n object_n 4_o they_o say_v moreover_o that_o our_o opinion_n contradict_v both_o scripture_n and_o philosophy_n 1._o for_o scripture_n it_o be_v say_v act._n 14._o that_o in_o he_o we_o live_v move_v and_o have_v our_o be_v by_o which_o word_n we_o be_v teach_v that_o all_o our_o motion_n of_o what_o kind_n soever_o either_o natural_a or_o moral_a vital_a or_o rational_a be_v not_o only_o guide_v but_o also_o cause_v by_o god_n himself_o 2._o both_o in_o logic_n and_o metaphysic_n there_o be_v divers_a rule_n consonant_a to_o this_o scripture_n as_o causa_fw-la causae_fw-la est_fw-la etiam_fw-la causa_fw-la causati_fw-la causa_fw-la secunda_fw-la non_fw-la agit_fw-fr nisi_fw-la meta_fw-la à_fw-la prim_fw-la etc._n etc._n therefore_o man_n do_v no_o kind_n of_o thing_n but_o god_n be_v the_o first_o cause_n of_o it_o and_o consequent_o whatsoever_o we_o do_v we_o do_v necessary_o in_o respect_n of_o he_o answ_n this_o be_v one_o of_o the_o argument_n which_o prove_v more_o than_o our_o adversary_n will_v have_v they_o and_o by_o these_o rule_n have_v i_o former_o in_o the_o second_o argument_n prove_v that_o they_o make_v god_n the_o author_n of_o sin_n for_o if_o causa_fw-la causae_fw-la be_v causa_fw-la causati_fw-la as_o doubtless_o it_o be_v while_o they_o make_v god_n the_o cause_n of_o all_o those_o action_n which_o either_o be_v sin_n or_o the_o cause_n
