A39932	Aytokatakritos or, the sinner condemned of himself being a plea for God, against all the ungodly, proving them alone guilty of their own destruction; and that they shall be condemned in the great day of account, not for that they lacked, but only because they neglected the means of their salvation. And also, shewing, how fallacious and frivolous a pretence it is in any, to say, they would do better, if they could; when indeed all men could, and might do better, if they would. By one, that wisheth better to all, than most do to themselves.	Ford, Thomas, 1598-1674.	1668 (1668)	Wing F1511B; ESTC R222667	153,768	273

sense_n to_o say_v they_o will_v repent_v if_o they_o will_v for_o certain_a if_o a_o man_n be_v hearty_o willing_a to_o repent_v there_o be_v nothing_o leave_v to_o hinder_v his_o repentance_n

all_o one_o as_o to_o say_v no_o man_n will_v turn_v to_o god_n without_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n for_o there_o be_v nothing_o that_o hinder_v he_o but_o his_o wicked_a froward_a will_n a_o man_n may_v have_v a_o charitable_a disposition_n and_o be_v hearty_o willing_a to_o relieve_v other_o in_o their_o necessity_n and_o yet_o may_v not_o because_o he_o have_v not_o wherewithal_o to_o do_v it_o his_o heart_n may_v be_v large_a when_o his_o estate_n be_v straight_o enough_o and_o in_o this_o case_n the_o will_n be_v accept_v for_o the_o deed_n for_o almsdeed_n be_v imperate_a outward_a

and_o believe_v be_v elicit_v inward_a immediate_a act_n of_o the_o will_n and_o be_v not_o exercise_v by_o another_o power_n as_o the_o imperate_a be_v 10._o with_o the_o heart_n man_n believe_v

and_o therefore_o it_o can_v be_v say_v with_o good_a sense_n man_n will_v repent_v if_o they_o can_v there_o be_v more_o sense_n and_o truth_n too_o in_o say_v man_n can_v repent_v if_o they_o will_v to_o say_v i_o be_o willing_a to_o repent_v but_o i_o can_v be_v all_o one_o as_o to_o say_v i_o be_o willing_a to_o repent_v but_o i_o will_v not_o i_o may_v be_v willing_a to_o work_v or_o to_o

of_o my_o will_n obj._n but_o some_o may_v object_v that_o many_o gracious_a soul_n may_v hearty_o desire_v what_o they_o can_v do_v and_o divine_v common_o resolve_v that_o good_a desire_n be_v accept_v with_o god_n when_o there_o be_v fail_n in_o the_o performance_n sol._n i_o full_o accord_v with_o all_o those_o divine_n in_o this_o and_o say_v that_o the_o best_a on_o earth_n be_v defective_a in_o do_v what_o they_o desire_v their_o desire_n be_v indeed_o beyond_o what_o they_o be_v able_a to_o do_v they_o will_v pray_v with_o more_o fervency_n and_o ardent_a affection_n they_o will_v hear_v with_o more_o attention_n and_o intention_n than_o they_o do_v and_o this_o be_v their_o great_a burden_n that_o they_o can_v do_v as_o they_o will_v but_o it_o must_v be_v consider_v too_o that_o they_o be_v defective_a in_o their_o desire_n also_o and_o then_o we_o may_v soon_o answer_v what_o be_v here_o object_v viz._n that_o as_o to_o the_o immediate_a act_n of_o the_o will_n they_o can_v what_o they_o will_v for_o they_o will_v love_v god_n more_o than_o they_o do_v and_o it_o be_v their_o burden_n that_o they_o love_v he_o no_o more_o and_o bless_a say_v i_o be_v all_o such_o poor_a soul_n and_o i_o wish_v there_o be_v more_o of_o such_o in_o the_o world_n for_o too_o many_o i_o fear_v think_v they_o love_v god_n well_o enough_o and_o that_o in_o this_o they_o be_v not_o want_v but_o to_o answer_v the_o objection_n consider_v 1._o that_o the_o fervency_n of_o the_o saint_n love_v to_o god_n be_v much_o allay_v by_o many_o thing_n without_o they_o such_o as_o be_v unavoidable_a to_o they_o while_o they_o be_v in_o flesh_n 2._o all_o the_o defect_n of_o their_o love_n and_o other_o spiritual_a affection_n be_v from_o the_o imperfection_n of_o the_o work_n of_o grace_n their_o will_n be_v not_o so_o thorough_o sanctify_v but_o that_o there_o be_v flesh_n lust_a against_o the_o spirit_n hence_o when_o the_o spirit_n be_v willing_a the_o flesh_n be_v weak_a 26.41_o so_o as_o they_o can_v do_v what_o they_o will_v they_o can_v love_v god_n so_o as_o they_o will_v love_v he_o but_o this_o make_v nothing_o against_o what_o i_o say_v before_o for_o so_o far_o as_o they_o be_v sanctify_v they_o be_v willing_a but_o so_o far_o as_o they_o be_v flesh_n they_o be_v not_o so_o the_o spirit_n make_v they_o willing_a to_o what_o the_o flesh_n will_v not_o suffer_v they_o and_o this_o be_v their_o burden_n that_o they_o have_v so_o much_o of_o the_o body_n of_o death_n in_o and_o about_o they_o but_o i_o say_v again_o so_o far_o as_o a_o man_n heart_n be_v renew_v so_o far_o he_o love_v god_n and_o the_o imperfection_n of_o his_o love_n be_v from_o the_o defect_n of_o his_o will_n not_o thorough_o and_o perfect_o sanctify_v and_o change_v but_o still_o i_o be_o to_o seek_v and_o can_v imagine_v how_o any_o man_n can_v be_v willing_a to_o love_n god_n and_o not_o actual_o love_v he_o at_o all_o as_o certain_o they_o that_o be_v carnal_o mind_v do_v not_o a_o man_n may_v not_o love_v god_n so_o much_o as_o he_o will_v and_o i_o have_v give_v a_o reason_n why_o but_o i_o can_v apprehend_v how_o a_o man_n can_v be_v willing_a to_o love_n god_n and_o not_o love_v he_o at_o all_o and_o the_o case_n be_v all_o one_o in_o faith_n and_o repentance_n a_o man_n by_o nature_n love_v not_o christ_n but_o love_v his_o sin_n and_o this_o make_v he_o distaste_v the_o term_n upon_o which_o christ_n be_v offer_v to_o he_o and_o he_o be_v unwilling_a to_o believe_v on_o he_o because_o of_o the_o old_a hatred_n this_o natural_a old_a enmity_n make_v he_o unwilling_a to_o close_v with_o christ_n but_o if_o that_o be_v once_o cure_v he_o will_v forthwith_o believe_v to_o the_o save_n of_o his_o soul_n now_o if_o it_o be_v man_n enmity_n as_o indeed_o it_o be_v that_o make_v he_o unable_a consider_v i_o pray_v how_o far_o such_o a_o inability_n will_v excuse_v i_o never_o hear_v that_o any_o man_n be_v a_o enemy_n to_o another_o against_o his_o will_n there_o be_v no_o virtue_n or_o gift_n of_o god_n in_o we_o without_o our_o will_n and_o in_o every_o good_a act_n god_n grace_n and_o man_n will_v concur_v freewill_n

that_o which_o keep_v man_n fast_o bind_v in_o the_o cord_n of_o their_o sin_n be_v the_o frowardness_n of_o a_o wicked_a heart_n wilful_o choose_v to_o walk_v on_o in_o their_o ungodly_a way_n and_o

be_v preach_v for_o sound_a doctrine_n that_o a_o man_n can_v never_o repent_v or_o believe_v till_o god_n circumcise_v the_o heart_n and_o take_v away_o the_o stony_a heart_n and_o give_v a_o new_a

for_o our_o sin_n be_v never_o the_o less_o sinful_a because_o as_o i_o say_v before_o we_o love_v it_o and_o will_v by_o no_o mean_n part_n with_o it_o i_o subscribe_v to_o what_o luther_n say_v

it_o be_v only_o our_o wickedness_n that_o hinder_v our_o salvation_n for_o my_o part_n i_o and_o other_o too_o can_v say_v very_o much_o of_o our_o weakness_n that_o when_o we_o have_v promise_v

in_o this_o or_o if_o there_o be_v i_o be_o not_o able_a to_o see_v it_o nor_o can_v i_o apprehend_v it_o unreasonable_a to_o persuade_v a_o man_n to_o that_o which_o be_v for_o his_o good_a when_o we_o find_v he_o not_o willing_a to_o it_o for_o man_n natural_a inability_n to_o any_o spiritual_a good_a i_o do_v not_o question_v it_o if_o we_o count_v of_o it_o as_o i_o say_v before_o and_o as_o i_o think_v we_o ought_v but_o i_o know_v full_a well_o that_o man_n weakness_n be_v his_o wickedness_n and_o his_o inability_n be_v his_o untowardliness_n and_o how_o can_v we_o deal_v with_o a_o

he_o be_v all_o one_o as_o to_o exhort_v or_o persuade_v a_o beast_n or_o a_o block_n but_o so_o long_o as_o wicked_a man_n do_v wilful_o refuse_v the_o way_n of_o god_n and_o as_o wilful_o go_v on_o in_o the_o way_n of_o their_o own_o heart_n i_o be_o bold_a to_o think_v the_o absurdity_n will_v lie_v at_o their_o door_n who_o say_v it_o be_v absurd_a to_o persuade_v a_o wicked_a man_n to_o

upon_o that_o account_n and_o no_o other_o arg._n 2._o my_o next_o argument_n shall_v be_v from_o the_o equity_n and_o reason_n that_o be_v and_o appear_v in_o all_o thing_n which_o concern_v man_n salvation_n so_o as_o it_o be_v easy_o discernible_a by_o man_n natural_a light_n and_o understanding_n man_n as_o you_o have_v see_v before_o be_v apt_a to_o quarrel_n god_n for_o his_o deal_n as_o if_o his_o way_n be_v not_o equal_a and_o my_o design_n be_v to_o prove_v they_o alone_o guilty_a of_o their_o own_o destruction_n and_o that_o they_o shall_v one_o day_n appear_v so_o to_o their_o own_o conscience_n and_o before_o all_o the_o world_n and_o my_o argument_n be_v this_o that_o all_o the_o way_n of_o god_n towards_o man_n and_o all_o the_o mean●_n he_o use_v for_o the_o reclaim_n of_o they_o be_v so_o rational_a even_o to_o man_n natural_a understanding_n a●_n they_o can_v have_v no_o cause_n to_o quarrel_v any_o but_o themselves_o and_o you_o may_v draw_v the_o argument_n into_o a_o narrow_a compass_n thus_o if_o all_o the_o counsel_n and_o way_n of_o god_n and_o his_o method_n about_o men●_n salvation_n be_v equitable_a to_o the_o apprehension_n of_o sou●●_n reason_n in_o man_n themselves_o than_o they_o can_v lay_v the_o blame_n of_o their_o destruction_n upon_o nothing_o beside_o thei●_n unreasonable_a wilful_a and_o peevish_a disposition_n this_o i_o intend_v to_o exemplify_v in_o some_o particular_n and_o add_v further_o that_o all_o the_o sin_n of_o man_n fo●_n which_o they_o be_v damn_v be_v against_o natural_a re●son_n as_o well_o as_o against_o divine_a revelation_n but_o before_o i_o proceed_v let_v i_o premise_v the_o reason_n for_o which_o i_o urge_v this_o argument_n and_o it_o be_v this_o because_o god_n to_o clear_v himself_o do_v eve●_n and_o anon_o appeal_v to_o man_n which_o he_o do_v because_o he_o know_v that_o the_o reason_n and_o conscience●_n of_o man_n when_o they_o be_v put_v to_o it_o must_v give_v evidence_n on_o
