in_o our_o heart_n that_o we_o shall_v not_o depart_v from_o he_o jer._n 32.40_o we_o may_v well_o rest_v satisfy_v that_o he_o who_o have_v say_v it_o can_v do_v it_o without_o cavil_v or_o nice_a

their_o natural_a hardness_n and_o blindness_n without_o correct_v it_o by_o his_o spirit_n now_o that_o which_o hereby_o we_o prove_v be_v this_o not_o that_o god_n force_v we_o to_o will_v against_o our_o will_n for_o that_o in_o sensu_fw-la composito_fw-la as_o to_o the_o elicit_v act_n be_v impossible_a as_o imply_v a_o contradiction_n in_o the_o term_n for_o as_o to_o what_o we_o will_v we_o

a_o new_a habit_n of_o grace_n whereby_o we_o be_v incline_v to_o love_n and_o delight_n in_o good_a as_o by_o the_o habitual_a corruption_n of_o our_o nature_n we_o be_v incline_v to_o evil._n and_o this_o be_v the_o concurrent_a doctrine_n of_o the_o school_n who_o i_o think_v do_v general_o allow_v that_o our_o soul_n be_v capable_a of_o infuse_v habit_n as_o well_o as_o acquire_v and_o if_o by_o derivation_n from_o our_o first_o parent_n we_o be_v capable_a of_o habitual_a corruption_n i_o see_v not_o why_o we_o shall_v doubt_v but_o that_o we_o be_v alike_o capable_a of_o habitual_a grace_n and_o of_o this_o for_o aught_o i_o know_v as_o early_o as_o of_o that_o for_o like_a as_o there_o may_v be_v habitual_a corruption_n before_o we_o be_v in_o a_o capacity_n for_o want_n of_o the_o use_n of_o reason_n to_o commit_v actual_a sin_n so_o may_v god_n as_o early_o put_v into_o our_o heart_n the_o seed_n of_o grace_n which_o may_v afterward_o when_o occasion_n shall_v serve_v bring_v forth_o the_o fruit_n of_o good_a live_n he_o may_v i_o say_v when_o he_o please_v not_o that_o he_o always_o so_o do_v we_o read_v of_o isaiah_n that_o he_o be_v call_v from_o the_o womb_n

holy_a ghost_n even_o from_o his_o mother_n womb_n luk._n 1.15_o and_o our_o church_n presume_v of_o infant_n that_o they_o be_v at_o least_o some_o of_o they_o regenerate_v when_o baptise_a and_o therefore_o for_o as_o much_o as_o all_o man_n be_v conceive_v and_o bear_v in_o sin_n infant_n and_o that_o our_o saviour_n jesus_n christ_n say_v none_o can_v enter_v into_o the_o kingdom_n of_o
