god_n creep_v upon_o they_o and_o that_o sometime_o they_o feel_v some_o temptation_n of_o desperation_n but_o as_o soon_o as_o they_o shake_v off_o that_o opinion_n of_o precise_a election_n they_o be_v heal_v of_o these_o disease_n and_o their_o piety_n grow_v hot_a no_o doubt_v we_o have_v bid_v piety_n and_o sanctity_n of_o manner_n farewell_n if_o this_o sect_n have_v not_o rise_v up_o which_o have_v triumph_v over_o vice_n and_o have_v raise_v up_o piety_n almost_o dead_a i_o do_v not_o search_v into_o their_o manner_n thus_o much_o i_o say_v their_o writing_n relish_v of_o anger_n and_o be_v full_a of_o bitterness_n but_o to_o the_o purpose_n i_o deny_v that_o by_o our_o doctrine_n just_a occasion_n of_o sin_v be_v take_v and_o the_o reins_n let_v loose_a to_o intemperance_n but_o nothing_o have_v ever_o be_v say_v so_o holy_o nor_o so_o true_o which_o may_v not_o be_v draw_v to_o the_o worse_a part_n and_o be_v corrupt_v by_o a_o sinister_a interpretation_n saint_n paul_n suffer_v the_o same_o calumny_n who_o in_o the_o sixth_o chapter_n to_o the_o roman_n do_v with_o a_o opportune_a prolepsis_n and_o timely_a prevention_n remove_v from_o himself_o this_o

doctrine_n if_o god_n have_v predestinate_v any_o one_o to_o faith_n and_o repentance_n he_o ought_v not_o therefore_o to_o be_v less_o careful_a how_o he_o may_v please_v god_n and_o yield_v obedience_n to_o he_o for_o repentance_n be_v carefulness_n itself_o they_o therefore_o so_o speak_v as_o if_o they_o shall_v say_v that_o the_o elect_v aught_o to_o want_v carefulness_n because_o

nothing_o let_v that_o a_o man_n shall_v with_o less_o diligence_n follow_v that_o labour_n the_o event_n whereof_o be_v determine_v by_o the_o certain_a decree_n of_o god_n whether_o this_o decree_n
