be_o able_a through_o the_o help_n and_o assistance_n of_o god_n grace_n and_o according_o have_v so_o do_v in_o this_o paper_n i_o do_v much_o wonder_n that_o such_o a_o wise_a man_n as_o you_o pretend_v to_o be_v shall_v propound_v such_o a_o question_n as_o this_o be_v in_o which_o you_o speak_v slight_o of_o god_n and_o his_o decree_n have_v you_o that_o sense_n and_o reverence_n of_o god_n and_o of_o the_o greatness_n of_o his_o majesty_n and_o sovereignty_n who_o may_v do_v what_o he_o will_v with_o we_o his_o creature_n i_o say_v have_v you_o this_o upon_o your_o heart_n which_o i_o fear_v you_o have_v not_o you_o will_v not_o quarrel_v with_o god_n and_o speak_v so_o slight_o of_o his_o decree_n as_o you_o do_v the_o lord_n humble_v you_o and_o give_v you_o repentance_n for_o it_o and_o also_o wisdom_n to_o do_v so_o no_o more_o there_o be_v three_o thing_n that_o i_o will_v offer_v to_o consideration_n about_o the_o decree_n of_o god_n viz._n 1._o what_o the_o decree_n of_o god_n be_v which_o you_o speak_v so_o slight_o of_o 2._o what_o be_v the_o property_n of_o god_n decree_n and_o 3._o speak_v something_o of_o the_o execution_n of_o it_o for_o the_o first_o what_o be_v the_o decree_n of_o god_n answ_n 1._o the_o word_n decree_n be_v a_o speech_n that_o be_v take_v from_o the_o affair_n of_o man_n but_o especial_o of_o such_o man_n as_o be_v in_o authority_n in_o their_o determination_n of_o cause_n between_o such_o as_o be_v at_o variance_n who_o sentence_n according_o be_v call_v a_o decree_n 2._o for_o god_n to_o decree_n be_v eternal_o to_o purpose_n fore-ordain_a determine_v and_o appoint_v what_o thing_n shall_v be_v and_o come_v to_o pass_v etc._n etc._n now_o the_o manner_n of_o god_n decree_a all_o thing_n be_v according_a to_o the_o counsel_n of_o his_o own_o will_n and_o be_v according_a to_o his_o will_n it_o be_v most_o free_o and_o according_a to_o his_o counsel_n therefore_o most_o wise_o so_o that_o god_n have_v free_o and_o wifely_a decree_v all_o thing_n that_o come_v to_o pass_v and_o let_v we_o but_o think_v of_o this_o that_o what_o god_n do_v he_o do_v well_o and_o wise_o after_o the_o counsel_n of_o his_o own_o will_n as_o the_o apostle_n speak_v eph._n 1.11_o 12._o then_o we_o shall_v be_v silent_a and_o not_o quarrel_v so_o with_o god_n about_o his_o decree_a all_o thing_n before_o time_n that_o come_v to_o pass_v in_o time_n as_o we_o be_v apt_a to_o do_v and_o let_v we_o well_o remember_v this_o wherefore_o god_n have_v decree_v all_o thing_n that_o come_v to_o pass_v viz._n for_o his_o own_o praise_n and_o glory_n as_o appear_v psal_n 33.11_o 12._o rom._n 9.22_o 23._o and_o eph._n 1.4_o and_o 11._o etc._n etc._n 3._o so_o then_o the_o decree_n of_o god_n be_v define_v to_o be_v the_o wise_a free_a and_o holy_a act_n of_o the_o counsel_n of_o god_n will_n who_o work_v all_o thing_n after_o the_o counsel_n of_o his_o holy_a will_n which_o be_v the_o rule_n of_o perfection_n eph._n 1.11_o rom._n 11.33_o whereby_o for_o his_o own_o glory_n god_n have_v unchangeable_o determine_v whatsoever_o come_v to_o pass_v especial_o concern_v his_o reasonable_a creature_n viz._n angel_n and_o man_n mr._n leigh_n in_o his_o body_n of_o divinity_n say_v that_o the_o decree_n of_o god_n be_v that_o whereby_o the_o lord_n according_a to_o the_o counsel_n of_o his_o own_o will_n have_v determine_v with_o himself_o what_o he_o will_v do_v command_n forbid_v permit_v or_o hinder_v together_o with_o the_o circumstance_n of_o the_o same_o act._n 2.23_o and_o 4.28_o luk._n 22.22_o it_o be_v say_v he_o a_o eternal_a determine_n of_o all_o thing_n which_o have_v be_v or_o shall_v be_v so_o as_o himself_o see_v fit_a to_o have_v they_o for_o good_a reason_n best_o know_v to_o himself_o though_o not_o to_o we_o therefore_o let_v we_o not_o quarrel_v with_o god_n about_o his_o do_n and_o determine_v all_o thing_n etc._n etc._n see_v he_o do_v all_o he_o do_v most_o wise_o and_o for_o good_a reason_n know_v to_o himself_o let_v we_o be_v silent_a see_v his_o way_n be_v in_o the_o deep_a and_o beyond_o our_o shallow_a capacity_n and_o say_v as_o paul_n in_o rom._n 11.33_o oh_o the_o depth_n etc._n etc._n thus_o much_o may_v suffice_v for_o the_o first_o thing_n we_o shall_v now_o come_v to_o the_o second_o 2._o to_o show_v what_o be_v the_o property_n of_o god_n decree_n and_o this_o through_o god_n help_n i_o shall_v do_v in_o these_o follow_a particular_n pray_v mind_v they_o well_o first_o the_o decree_n of_o god_n be_v complete_a i._n e._n that_o it_o do_v comprehend_v the_o determine_n of_o all_o thing_n from_o all_o eternity_n that_o do_v or_o shall_v come_v to_o pass_v which_o may_v be_v evidence_v from_o many_o argument_n ground_v upon_o the_o word_n of_o god_n which_o we_o must_v give_v credit_n to_o unless_o we_o do_v believe_v the_o scripture_n only_o to_o be_v the_o invention_n of_o man_n and_o not_o indeed_o the_o pure_a and_o

who_o they_o be_v that_o god_n will_v glorify_v his_o justice_n in_o their_o damnation_n we_o must_v call_v all_o to_o come_v but_o god_n may_v give_v pardon_n grace_n and_o glory_n to_o who_o he_o
