god_n for_o god_n do_v no_o wrong_n to_o the_o creature_n if_o he_o do_v love_n one_o and_o not_o another_o and_o it_o be_v a_o strange_a thing_n that_o we_o in_o our_o carnal_a reason_n will_v abridge_v god_n of_o that_o which_o we_o will_v take_v to_o ourselves_o and_o that_o be_v to_o love_v where_o he_o please_v if_o you_o love_v one_o more_o than_o another_o you_o be_v not_o bind_v to_o give_v any_o account_n of_o it_o and_o man_n take_v a_o liberty_n to_o bestow_v gift_n upon_o one_o and_o not_o upon_o another_o and_o let_v not_o we_o bind_v the_o lord_n from_o that_o which_o we_o will_v take_v to_o ourselves_o to_o love_v one_o and_o not_o another_o and_o true_o if_o we_o do_v not_o rest_v in_o the_o good_a pleasure_n of_o god_n in_o this_o we_o shall_v but_o disquiet_v our_o spirit_n and_o meet_v with_o no_o satisfaction_n again_o god_n people_n may_v be_v tempt_v concern_v their_o relation_n temptation_n their_o child_n oh_o many_o parent_n have_v many_o thought_n whether_o god_n love_v their_o child_n or_o no_o and_o whether_o their_o child_n be_v choose_v of_o god_n from_o eternity_n and_o especial_o at_o some_o time_n as_o when_o god_n come_v to_o take_v away_o child_n by_o death_n than_o the_o temptation_n set_v upon_o but_o especial_o when_o child_n go_v on_o in_o the_o way_n of_o sin_n parent_n they_o pray_v and_o wait_v and_o they_o see_v no_o fruit_n but_o still_o they_o go_v on_o in_o the_o way_n of_o sin_n it_o may_v be_v the_o parent_n die_v and_o leave_v their_o child_n go_v on_o in_o sin_n and_o see_v not_o the_o fruit_n of_o god_n

no_o believe_a parent_n but_o he_o may_v have_v hope_n of_o his_o child_n even_o of_o all_o his_o child_n while_o they_o be_v young_a before_o grow_v up_o to_o renounce_v the_o covenant_n if_o god_n

hope_n the_o covenant_n of_o god_n will_v relieve_v in_o such_o a_o case_n ah_o but_o when_o child_n do_v grow_v up_o and_o parent_n see_v that_o they_o walk_v in_o way_n that_o be_v evil_a and_o be_v

the_o fruit_n of_o god_n covenant_n and_o shall_v not_o see_v it_o believer_n they_o may_v die_v in_o hope_n the_o lord_n he_o may_v bring_v in_o prodigal_a child_n the_o lord_n he_o may_v do_v they_o

they_o see_v not_o the_o fruit_n of_o the_o covenant_n though_o their_o child_n may_v be_v at_o a_o great_a distance_n from_o god_n the_o lord_n may_v bring_v they_o in_o and_o you_o meet_v with_o they_o with_o comfort_n at_o the_o last_o day_n there_o be_v one_o temptation_n more_o concern_v other_o which_o i_o shall_v but_o touch_v and_o that_o be_v this_o be_v not_o the_o gospel_n preach_v to_o all_o and_o be_v not_o all_o command_v to_o believe_v and_o be_v it_o not_o declare_v that_o whosoever_o do_v believe_v shall_v be_v save_v whatsoever_o man_n or_o woman_n in_o the_o world_n do_v believe_v shall_v be_v save_v yea_o do_v not_o the_o scripture_n say_v that_o god_n will_v have_v all_o man_n to_o be_v save_v and_o come_v to_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o truth_n the_o soul_n may_v thus_o reason_n with_o itself_o how_o can_v this_o stand_v with_o god_n purpose_n and_o decree_n and_o election_n if_o there_o be_v a_o absolute_a immutable_a unchangeable_a election_n how_o can_v it_o be_v declare_v that_o whosoever_o believe_v in_o christ_n shall_v be_v save_v whereas_o if_o man_n be_v not_o elect_v they_o can_v be_v save_v and_o if_o elect_a they_o shall_v be_v save_v though_o they_o do_v not_o believe_v thus_o the_o temptation_n may_v work_v i_o answer_v notwithstanding_o god_n secret_a purpose_n the_o gospel_n may_v and_o must_v so_o be_v preach_v and_o yet_o there_o be_v no_o deceivablenesse_n in_o god_n nothing_o but_o truth_n and_o sincerity_n in_o god_n for_o you_o must_v know_v that_o we_o be_v to_o walk_v by_o the_o reveal_v will_n of_o god_n and_o all_o man_n shall_v be_v judge_v by_o the_o reveal_v will_n of_o god_n now_o what_o be_v the_o reveal_v will_n of_o god_n why_o that_o we_o believe_v in_o the_o name_n of_o his_o son_n jesus_n christ_n declare_v that_o whosoever_o believe_v shall_v be_v save_v and_o god_n will_v certain_o make_v good_a that_o word_n whosoever_o do_v believe_v shall_v be_v save_v never_o any_o in_o the_o world_n that_o come_v into_o christ_n and_o believe_v on_o his_o name_n but_o be_v save_v notwithstanding_o the_o secret_a decree_n and_o purpose_n of_o god_n and_o there_o be_v no_o man_n but_o may_v claim_v life_n and_o salvation_n upon_o those_o term_n on_o which_o the_o scripture_n do_v hold_v forth_o life_n and_o salvation_n and_o that_o be_v believe_v in_o jesus_n christ_n objection_n but_o god_n will_v have_v all_o man_n to_o be_v save_v and_o come_v to_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o truth_n why_o then_o sure_o there_o be_v no_o election_n i_o answer_v that_o scripture_n do_v but_o hold_v forth_o what_o the_o thing_n be_v which_o be_v well_o please_v to_o god_n that_o man_n return_v to_o the_o lord_n and_o that_o they_o believe_v in_o the_o name_n of_o christ_n which_o be_v the_o way_n to_o salvation_n this_o be_v a_o thing_n that_o be_v please_v to_o the_o lord_n not_o that_o god_n will_v it_o with_o a_o effectual_a operative_a will_n for_o than_o it_o must_v needs_o be_v but_o it_o only_o hold_v forth_o what_o be_v please_v to_o god_n not_o that_o god_n will_v bring_v all_o man_n to_o repentance_n not_o that_o god_n will_v work_v faith_n in_o all_o man_n therein_o god_n will_v be_v leave_v free_a to_o his_o good_a pleasure_n he_o will_v it_o not_o with_o a_o absolute_a will_n for_o than_o it_o must_v needs_o be_v question_n but_o you_o will_v say_v what_o be_v the_o will_n of_o god_n contrary_a one_o to_o another_o have_v god_n a_o will_n and_o a_o will_n have_v god_n a_o reveal_v will_n that_o he_o will_v have_v all_o man_n to_o be_v save_v and_o be_v his_o secret_n will_v contrary_v to_o his_o reveal_v will_n i_o answer_v no_o god_n will_n be_v not_o contrary_a to_o one_o another_o to_o say_v god_n do_v delight_n and_o it_o be_v a_o thing_n please_v to_o he_o that_o man_n do_v believe_v and_o return_v to_o the_o lord_n and_o take_v hold_v of_o christ_n and_o to_o say_v that_o god_n be_v not_o please_v to_o work_v this_o in_o the_o heart_n be_v no_o contradiction_n the_o gospel_n declare_v that_o this_o be_v well_o please_v to_o god_n that_o man_n do_v return_v to_o he_o and_o believe_v in_o christ_n and_o the_o gospel_n do_v declare_v that_o whosoever_o do_v believe_v shall_v be_v save_v now_o if_o god_n shall_v condemn_v any_o man_n that_o do_v believe_v in_o christ_n than_o god_n shall_v walk_v contrary_a to_o his_o will_n but_o to_o say_v god_n do_v approve_v of_o these_o thing_n they_o be_v excellent_a and_o so_o he_o will_v they_o that_o be_v he_o delight_v in_o they_o and_o yet_o to_o say_v god_n be_v not_o please_v to_o work_v this_o in_o every_o man_n heart_n there_o be_v no_o contradiction_n and_o thus_o we_o shall_v labour_v to_o silence_v those_o temptation_n which_o our_o carnal_a reason_n may_v make_v concern_v this_o great_a mystery_n of_o god_n election_n you_o see_v what_o temptation_n god_n people_n may_v meet_v withal_o concern_v the_o election_n of_o other_o matth._n 15._o 24._o i_o be_o not_o send_v but_o unto_o the_o lose_a sheep_n of_o the_o house_n of_o israel_n sermon_n xiiii_o there_o be_v more_o sore_a temptation_n that_o god_n people_n may_v
of_o he_o that_o will_v nor_o run_v but_o god_n that_o show_v mercy_n and_o therefore_o why_o shall_v i_o strive_v for_o life_n and_o salvation_n i_o deny_v that_o that_o god_n will_v save_v thou_o without_o thy_o strive_n it_o be_v true_a it_o be_v not_o for_o thy_o faith_n and_o repentance_n that_o god_n will_v save_v but_o without_o these_o god_n will_v not_o save_v this_o be_v the_o way_n by_o which_o god_n save_v you_o will_v think_v he_o be_v a_o unreasonable_a man_n that_o shall_v argue_v thus_o god_n have_v decree_v how_o long_o i_o shall_v live_v whether_o twenty_o thirty_o forty_o or_o sixty_o year_n the_o period_n be_v appoint_v by_o god_n and_o therefore_o it_o matter_n not_o that_o i_o eat_v now_o if_o god_n have_v appoint_v a_o man_n shall_v live_v so_o long_o he_o have_v also_o appoint_v that_o you_o shall_v use_v the_o mean_n hezekiah_n he_o know_v how_o long_o he_o shall_v live_v i_o will_v add_v unto_o thy_o day_n fifteen_o year_n 2_o king_n 20._o 6._o it_o have_v be_v strange_a reason_n for_o hezekiah_n to_o say_v i_o will_v neither_o eat_v nor_o drink_v for_o god_n purpose_n must_v stand_v as_o god_n have_v purpose_v the_o end_n so_o he_o purpose_v the_o mean_n so_o that_o the_o mean_n and_o the_o end_n be_v join_v together_o but_o thou_o reason_v further_o that_o if_o god_n do_v decree_n that_o i_o shall_v be_v save_v why_o then_o i_o shall_v be_v save_v though_o i_o go_v on_o in_o a_o way_n of_o sin_n first_o of_o all_o here_o be_v a_o gross_a mistake_n of_o god_n decree_n god_n do_v not_o decree_n to_o save_v any_o man_n whatever_o he_o do_v though_o he_o all_o his_o day_n go_v on_o to_o destroy_v himself_o god_n never_o make_v such_o a_o decree_n no_o god_n decree_n be_v to_o save_v man_n from_o sin_n as_o well_o as_o from_o wrath_n if_o god_n decree_v to_o save_v any_o man_n from_o wrath_n he_o decree_v to_o save_v that_o man_n from_o sin_n as_o it_o be_v impossible_a that_o that_o man_n shall_v go_v to_o hell_n that_o god_n decree_v to_o save_v so_o it_o be_v impossible_a that_o that_o man_n shall_v wallow_v in_o sin_n and_o oh_o what_o great_a ingratitude_n to_o say_v though_o i_o go_v on_o in_o sin_n i_o shall_v be_v save_v if_o god_n have_v decree_v it_o oh_o great_a ingratitude_n as_o if_o a_o child_n shall_v say_v my_o father_n have_v entail_v a_o great_a estate_n upon_o i_o and_o i_o can_v go_v without_o it_o though_o i_o do_v all_o that_o i_o can_v against_o he_o oh_o be_v this_o the_o part_n of_o a_o child_n sure_o of_o a_o bastard_n and_o not_o a_o child_n oh_o horrible_a ingratitude_n nay_o let_v i_o say_v there_o be_v madness_n in_o it_o there_o be_v this_o madness_n as_o if_o a_o man_n shall_v say_v god_n have_v purpose_v how_o long_o i_o shall_v live_v and_o it_o matter_n not_o though_o i_o stab_v myself_o and_o though_o i_o run_v into_o the_o sea_n i_o shall_v live_v so_o long_o as_o god_n have_v purpose_v oh_o such_o desperate_a madness_n be_v in_o many_o man_n when_o they_o reason_n about_o god_n decree_n the_o seven_o and_o last_o temptation_n be_v a_o temptation_n of_o despair_n temptation_n which_o some_o of_o god_n people_n may_v be_v exercise_v withal_o and_o thus_o they_o may_v reason_n if_o the_o lord_n have_v not_o purpose_v my_o salvation_n if_o he_o have_v not_o decree_v my_o salvation_n they_o i_o can_v be_v save_v whatever_o i_o do_v though_o i_o take_v never_o so_o much_o pain_n and_o strive_v never_o so_o much_o though_o i_o seek_v faith_n and_o repentance_n yea_o though_o i_o do_v believe_v and_o though_o i_o do_v repent_v yet_o if_o god_n have_v not_o decree_v my_o salvation_n i_o can_v be_v save_v to_o this_o i_o answer_v that_o god_n decree_n and_o purpose_n shall_v never_o infringe_v the_o truth_n of_o any_o promise_n that_o he_o have_v make_v now_o he_o have_v make_v a_o promise_n that_o whosoever_o believe_v in_o christ_n shall_v be_v save_v now_o god_n decree_n shall_v not_o infringe_v the_o truth_n of_o this_o promise_n and_o there_o be_v no_o man_n upon_o earth_n that_o shall_v believe_v in_o the_o name_n of_o jesus_n christ_n but_o he_o may_v claim_v life_n and_o salvation_n upon_o god_n promise_n and_o it_o shall_v be_v make_v out_o to_o he_o and_o let_v i_o say_v further_o that_o thou_o do_v not_o take_v the_o right_a course_n to_o begin_v at_o god_n decree_n oh_o this_o be_v a_o discouragement_n this_o will_v keep_v thou_o off_o from_o the_o use_n of_o the_o mean_n if_o i_o be_v not_o elect_v i_o can_v be_v save_v thou_o take_v the_o wrong_a course_n to_o begin_v at_o they_o election_n who_o teach_v thou_o this_o way_n god_n never_o teach_v thou_o so_o it_o be_v from_o satan_n who_o endeavour_v to_o pussel_n thou_o in_o thy_o way_n though_o there_o be_v such_o a_o election_n and_o the_o saint_n have_v much_o comfort_n when_o they_o do_v know_v their_o election_n yet_o you_o must_v not_o begin_v with_o election_n but_o know_v that_o you_o must_v walk_v by_o god_n reveal_v will_n and_o look_v to_o god_n reveal_v will_n if_o thou_o be_v call_v to_o faith_n and_o to_o believe_v thou_o be_v not_o among_o the_o lose_a one_o and_o be_v call_v to_o life_n and_o salvation_n and_o therefore_o look_v to_o the_o reveal_v will_n of_o god_n so_o long_o as_o a_o man_n be_v in_o the_o state_n of_o unbelief_n it_o be_v not_o possible_a that_o he_o shall_v know_v what_o god_n have_v decree_v concern_v he_o therefore_o do_v not_o begin_v at_o election_n this_o be_v for_o a_o man_n to_o covet_v to_o set_v his_o foot_n upon_o the_o high_a step_n of_o the_o ladder_n before_o he_o set_v it_o upon_o low_a when_o a_o man_n be_v in_o his_o youth_n he_o do_v not_o know_v whether_o god_n have_v purpose_v old_a age_n for_o he_o and_o because_o he_o do_v not_o know_v it_o he_o be_v not_o discourage_v from_o the_o use_n of_o the_o mean_n and_o so_o i_o say_v in_o a_o state_n of_o unbelief_n thou_o can_v not_o know_v that_o god_n have_v love_v thou_o but_o this_o shall_v not_o discourage_v thou_o to_o wait_v upon_o god_n in_o the_o use_n of_o the_o mean_n give_v up_o thyself_o to_o his_o reveal_v will_n which_o command_v thou_o and_o all_o the_o son_n of_o man_n to_o believe_v in_o christ_n and_o as_o i_o say_v so_o i_o say_v again_o that_o there_o be_v no_o man_n that_o ever_o believe_v in_o jesus_n christ_n but_o he_o be_v save_v and_o therefore_o it_o be_v madness_n and_o folly_n for_o a_o man_n to_o say_v though_o i_o believe_v in_o christ_n i_o shall_v not_o be_v save_v if_o god_n have_v not_o purpose_v it_o i_o tell_v you_o there_o be_v none_o that_o ever_o do_v believe_v in_o christ_n but_o be_v save_v and_o any_o that_o do_v believe_v to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n may_v go_v to_o god_n and_o challenge_v he_o upon_o his_o word_n nay_o i_o may_v say_v if_o judas_n have_v believe_v and_o repent_v and_o turn_v to_o the_o lord_n judas_n have_v be_v save_v question_n but_o you_o will_v say_v if_o i_o be_v not_o elect_v i_o can_v believe_v it_o be_v in_o vain_a for_o i_o to_o take_v pain_n if_o the_o lord_n have_v not_o purpose_v to_o give_v i_o faith_n i_o shall_v never_o be_v able_a to_o work_v it_o in_o my_o own_o heart_n and_o therefore_o in_o vain_a for_o i_o to_o temper_v with_o my_o own_o heart_n i_o answer_v that_o thou_o do_v not_o know_v that_o god_n have_v not_o purpose_v to_o give_v thou_o faith_n and_o therefore_o thou_o be_v bind_v to_o wait_v upon_o the_o lord_n in_o the_o use_n of_o the_o mean_n and_o that_o thou_o have_v not_o faith_n do_v not_o lay_v it_o upon_o god_n though_o it_o be_v true_a faith_n be_v his_o gift_n yet_o

further_o that_o if_o the_o lord_n have_v give_v thou_o a_o heart_n in_o good_a earnest_n to_o desire_v the_o gift_n of_o faith_n the_o lord_n will_v certain_o give_v it_o out_o to_o thou_o i_o say_v

when_o he_o choose_v they_o why_o then_o if_o the_o soul_n believe_v before_o god_n choose_v it_o choose_v god_n first_o which_o be_v contrary_a to_o the_o scripture_n four_o the_o scripture_n hold_v

shall_v believe_v in_o i_o five_o there_o be_v one_o argument_n more_o to_o confirm_v the_o truth_n if_o so_o be_v that_o god_n do_v choose_v upon_o foresee_a faith_n or_o work_v or_o because_o he_o see_v that_o there_o be_v a_o ability_n in_o the_o creature_n to_o perform_v or_o not_o i_o say_v if_o god_n decree_n be_v a_o conditional_a decree_n than_o god_n see_v that_o the_o creature_n be_v

that_o the_o creature_n be_v able_a to_o perform_v the_o condition_n this_o ability_n to_o believe_v and_o to_o be_v holy_a it_o must_v be_v either_o from_o the_o creature_n or_o from_o god_n if_o it_o be_v from_o the_o creature_n than_o it_o destroy_v the_o doctrine_n of_o grace_n and_o bring_v in_o the_o doctrine_n of_o work_n and_o that_o set_v up_o the_o idol_n of_o freewill_n which_o the_o scripture_n beat_v down_o and_o it_o lay_v the_o stress_n of_o the_o creature_n salvation_n and_o happiness_n upon_o itself_o if_o god_n do_v choose_v because_o he_o foresee_v that_o the_o creature_n will_v be_v such_o and_o have_v a_o power_n in_o itself_o to_o believe_v and_o to_o obey_v this_o lay_v the_o stress_n of_o the_o creature_n salvation_n upon_o itself_o but_o if_o it_o be_v say_v that_o god_n do_v intend_v to_o give_v the_o condition_n the_o creature_n be_v not_o able_a to_o believe_v of_o itself_o and_o be_v holy_a of_o itself_o ah_o but_o god_n do_v determine_v and_o decree_v to_o make_v such_o and_o such_o believe_v and_o to_o be_v holy_a and_o so_o he_o choose_v they_o upon_o that_o now_o to_o that_o i_o say_v this_o come_v to_o nothing_o to_o say_v god_n do_v

this_o be_v as_o much_o as_o to_o say_v god_n do_v first_o of_o all_o choose_v they_o and_o then_o he_o give_v they_o faith_n and_o holiness_n that_o he_o may_v choose_v they_o for_o what_o be_v god_n decree_v to_o give_v faith_n and_o holiness_n but_o his_o choose_n and_o set_v apart_o the_o creature_n for_o his_o self_n for_o that_o be_v a_o part_n of_o the_o end_n for_o which_o god_n choose_v that_o it_o may_v be_v holy_a as_o well_o as_o happy_a and_o beside_o i_o show_v you_o before_o that_o faith_n be_v make_v to_o come_v after_o election_n therefore_o can_v go_v before_o election_n
