that_o the_o lord_n be_v so_o abundant_o merciful_a in_o make_v of_o his_o promise_n that_o he_o exclude_v no_o sort_n of_o person_n neither_o jew_n nor_o grecian_a bond_n or_o free_a high_a nor_o

rather_o then_o must_v one_o gather_v the_o quite_o contrary_a argument_n against_o the_o devil_n and_o carnal_a reason_n 2.1_o and_o thus_o return_v their_o argument_n all_o god_n child_n for_o the_o

as_o at_o first_o to_o pry_v into_o god_n decree_n to_o know_v whether_o their_o name_n be_v write_v in_o the_o book_n of_o life_n before_o they_o will_v use_v the_o mean_n but_o they_o reject_v sense_n and_o carnal_a reason_n do_v by_o degree_n use_v the_o mean_n to_o their_o power_n and_o so_o by_o the_o constant_a use_n of_o the_o same_o and_o god_n blessing_n therewith_o by_o little_a

will_v also_o use_v the_o mean_n rather_o obey_v god_n than_o the_o devil_n which_o though_o by_o and_o by_o they_o prove_v not_o effectual_o yet_o i_o will_v wait_v god_n good_a time_n 40.31_o &_o who_o know_v but_o at_o length_n i_o may_v speed_v as_o well_o as_o other_o 11.28_o and_o so_o again_o though_o i_o find_v not_o my_o name_n in_o the_o free_a covenant_n of_o mercy_n yet_o since_o it_o exclude_v none_o by_o name_n i_o will_v hope_v still_o though_o i_o be_v most_o sinful_a yet_o christ_n he_o come_v into_o the_o world_n to_o save_v sinner_n he_o justify_v all_o those_o who_o

and_o cleave_v close_o unto_o his_o righteousness_n how_o vile_a and_o naked_a soever_o i_o be_v of_o myself_o and_o thus_o i_o shall_v escape_v in_o the_o midst_n of_o all_o tempest_n 3.20_o for_o god_n if_o i_o be_v penitent_a be_v more_o powerful_a to_o foregive_v and_o heal_v my_o rebellion_n than_o i_o be_o able_a to_o provoke_v his_o anger_n now_o the_o ground_n of_o this_o consolation_n
