be_v their_o effectual_a call_v that_o be_v in_o the_o text_n whereunto_o he_o have_v call_v you_o by_o our_o gospel_n etc._n etc._n as_o who_o shall_v say_v the_o lord_n have_v give_v you_o a_o

the_o spirit_n second_o another_o reason_n be_v because_o though_o this_o life_n be_v all_o from_o christ_n christ_n it_o be_v he_o that_o beget_v it_o it_o be_v he_o that_o be_v the_o soul_n of_o

be_v bear_v again_o be_v bear_v of_o the_o spirit_n the_o second_o point_n be_v this_o that_o all_o that_o be_v regenerate_v all_o that_o be_v bear_v of_o the_o spirit_n they_o be_v spirit_n that_o be_v they_o be_v spiritual_a they_o be_v like_o the_o spirit_n the_o first_o be_v that_o it_o be_v the_o spirit_n of_o god_n the_o holy_a ghost_n saint_n that_o do_v regenerate_v all_o the_o people_n of_o god_n this_o be_v that_o which_o make_v they_o to_o be_v new_a creature_n to_o be_v new_a man_n to_o be_v altogether_o different_a from_o that_o they_o be_v before_o this_o be_v that_o which_o

a_o vile_a wretched_a sinner_n he_o be_v elect_v it_o may_v be_v but_o not_o actual_o elect_v in_o himself_o there_o be_v nothing_o of_o election_n in_o he_o there_o be_v no_o image_n nor_o seal_n

you_o see_v your_o call_a brother_n not_o many_o wiseman_n after_o the_o flesh_n not_o many_o mighty_a etc._n etc._n be_v call_v but_o god_n have_v choose_v the_o foolish_a thing_n of_o the_o world_n to_o confound_v the_o wise_a the_o one_o be_v the_o image_n and_o the_o effect_n of_o the_o other_o he_o put_v one_o for_o the_o other_o you_o see_v your_o call_n how_o because_o god_n have_v choose_v the_o foolish_a and_o base_a people_n and_o not_o those_o that_o be_v more_o noble_a and_o excellent_a this_o be_v the_o reason_n for_o as_o election_n be_v before_o all_o time_n so_o vocation_n be_v in_o time_n it_o be_v the_o elect_n or_o choose_v or_o call_v of_o a_o man_n out_o of_o the_o world_n so_o that_o vocation_n and_o election_n be_v very_o much_o a_o kin_n the_o one_o to_o the_o
