power_n over_o the_o clay_n it_o be_v to_o answer_v this_o objection_n why_o do_v he_o yet_o find_v fault_n say_n who_o have_v resist_v his_o will_n the_o which_o the_o apostle_n answer_v by_o prove_v that_o they_o have_v resist_v it_o by_o be_v mar_v in_o his_o hand_n and_o that_o god_n may_v deal_v with_o they_o as_o jeremies_n potter_n do_v with_o his_o clay_n and_o yet_o be_v just_a when_o be_v

the_o roman_n and_o moreover_o take_v notice_n that_o whereas_o the_o apostle_n say_v have_v not_o the_o potter_n power_n over_o the_o clay_n be_v to_o answer_v this_o objection_n why_o do_v he_o yet_o find_v fault_n for_o who_o have_v resist_v his_o will_n where_o the_o apostle_n show_v that_o they_o have_v resist_v his_o will_n by_o be_v mar_v in_o his_o hand_n under_o the_o mean_n of_o

that_o the_o will_n of_o god_n in_o the_o tenderness_n of_o grace_n be_v irresistible_a so_o as_o it_o can_v not_o be_v resist_v than_o the_o apostle_n have_v no_o ground_n to_o make_v a_o objection_n of_o that_o nature_n because_o he_o can_v never_o have_v fair_o answer_v it_o and_o that_o you_o may_v see_v it_o more_o evident_a admit_v of_o this_o comparison_n for_o illustration_n suppose_v a_o man_n shall_v have_v two_o son_n and_o it_o be_v the_o father_n pleasure_n to_o educate_v one_o son_n very_o rich_o and_o also_o to_o leave_v the_o other_o son_n without_o any_o breed_n or_o

the_o which_o cause_v his_o father_n to_o be_v much_o displease_v with_o he_o so_o far_o as_o to_o disinherit_v he_o for_o that_o dishonour_n that_o he_o bring_v to_o he_o by_o his_o ill_a manner_n now_o if_o this_o son_n shall_v object_v and_o say_v why_o do_v my_o father_n deal_v thus_o with_o i_o to_o disinherit_v i_o for_o my_o ill_a manner_n who_o have_v resist_v his_o will_n for_o be_v

i_o know_v not_o so_o in_o like_a manner_n if_o god_n shall_v appoint_v person_n vessel_n of_o wrath_n before_o they_o be_v bear_v and_o so_o with_o hold_v the_o education_n of_o his_o spirit_n from_o

who_o have_v resist_v his_o will_n for_o it_o be_v his_o will_n and_o pleasure_n so_o to_o make_v we_o how_o that_o or_o such_o a_o like_a objection_n can_v be_v answer_v i_o know_v not_o although_o i_o doubt_v not_o but_o i_o know_v all_o or_o in_o a_o great_a measure_n what_o may_v be_v say_v to_o it_o for_o if_o the_o apostle_n do_v only_o plead_v god_n prerogative_n over_o all_o creature_n as_o you_o say_v that_o he_o can_v make_v they_o what_o vessel_n he_o please_v either_o to_o honour_n or_o to_o dishonour_n and_o that_o it_o be_v his_o pleasure_n to_o make_v some_o dishonourable_a yet_o still_o the_o objection_n lie_v unanswered_a why_o do_v he_o then_o find_v fault_n see_v he_o make_v they_o as_o he_o please_v who_o have_v resist_v his_o will_n but_o as_o i_o have_v say_v

the_o next_o thing_n considerable_a to_o wit_n god_n power_n that_o be_v whether_o god_n want_v power_n yea_o or_o nay_o because_o it_o be_v a_o question_n you_o ask_v to_o which_o i_o answer_v and_o
