proclamation_n itself_o in_o these_o word_n my_o spirit_n shall_v not_o always_o strive_v with_o man_n three_o the_o reason_n because_o he_o be_v but_o flesh_n four_o the_o limitation_n of_o the_o time_n a_o hundred_o and_o twenty_o year_n in_o which_o time_n if_o they_o repent_v i_o will_v repent_v but_o if_o they_o will_v not_o my_o spirit_n shall_v not_o always_o strive_v as_o if_o the_o lord_n have_v say_v i_o have_v try_v all_o conclusion_n and_o use_v all_o mean_n partly_o by_o mercy_n to_o allure_v they_o partly_o by_o judgement_n to_o terrify_v they_o partly_o by_o my_o word_n to_o recall_v they_o and_o by_o all_o mean_v possible_a to_o bring_v they_o to_o myself_o yet_o they_o remain_v incorrigible_a i_o now_o be_o resolve_v to_o strive_v with_o they_o no_o more_o from_o the_o word_n thus_o open_v there_o will_v natural_o arise_v these_o two_o point_n first_o that_o the_o lord_n of_o heaven_n and_o earth_n doct._n 1_o do_v strive_v mighty_o with_o a_o company_n of_o poor_a rebel_n and_o all_o to_o bring_v they_o unto_o himself_o but_o on_o this_o i_o intend_v not_o to_o insist_v the_o second_o be_v this_o viz._n that_o there_o be_v a_o time_n when_o god_n will_v strive_v with_o man_n no_o more_o and_o that_o in_o this_o life_n the_o scope_n of_o this_o aim_n at_o the_o whole_a world_n but_o what_o be_v say_v in_o general_a may_v also_o be_v say_v in_o particular_a well_o then_o there_o be_v a_o time_n in_o this_o life_n and_o not_o when_o we_o be_v dead_a and_o go_v for_o than_o it_o be_v certain_a there_o be_v no_o more_o come_n unto_o god_n but_o in_o this_o life_n there_o be_v a_o time_n when_o god_n will_v strive_v with_o man_n no_o more_o neither_o for_o their_o good_a here_o nor_o for_o their_o everlasting_a happiness_n hereafter_o for_o unto_o every_o thing_n there_o be_v a_o appoint_a time_n eccles_n 3._o 1._o now_o the_o lord_n call_v love_o to_o allure_v we_o but_o there_o will_v come_v a_o time_n of_o go_v you_o curse_v the_o good_a spirit_n of_o i_o which_o thou_o have_v abuse_v shall_v never_o come_v to_o thou_o more_o this_o be_v a_o marvelous_a troublesome_a truth_n yet_o most_o true_a for_o man_n now_o will_v have_v their_o will_n and_o god_n must_v be_v at_o their_o leisure_n and_o come_v forsooth_o when_o they_o please_v they_o will_v live_v as_o they_o listen_v do_v as_o they_o listen_v and_o god_n must_v show_v mercy_n on_o they_o as_o they_o listen_v and_o when_o they_o listen_v etc._n etc._n so_o there_o be_v a_o time_n when_o god_n will_v strive_v but_o when_o that_o time_n be_v go_v god_n will_v will_v strive_v no_o more_o to_o make_v this_o plain_a i_o will_v lay_v down_o these_o six_o thing_n first_o i_o will_v let_v you_o see_v that_o it_o have_v be_v so_o by_o testimony_n of_o scripture_n second_o i_o will_v show_v in_o or_o after_o what_o manner_n god_n deal_v with_o a_o soul_n in_o give_v it_o over_o three_o i_o will_v show_v who_o they_o be_v that_o god_n give_v over_o four_o i_o will_v show_v the_o ground_n of_o it_o five_o the_o objection_n against_o it_o and_o last_o we_o will_v come_v to_o the_o use_n for_o the_o first_o testimony_n of_o scripture_n you_o believe_v they_o and_o you_o do_v acknowledge_v that_o the_o thing_n deliver_v there_o be_v certain_a see_v it_o in_o saul_n because_o thou_o have_v reject_v the_o word_n of_o the_o lord_n the_o lord_n have_v also_o reject_v thou_o from_o be_v king_n etc._n etc._n 1_o sam._n 15._o 23._o the_o lord_n have_v strive_v with_o saul_n many_o way_n by_o give_v he_o profit_n and_o honour_n in_o make_v he_o king_n he_o have_v give_v he_o gift_n of_o the_o spirit_n he_o be_v not_o want_v unto_o he_o in_o any_o mean_n yet_o he_o not_o regard_v all_o this_o but_o neglect_v that_o which_o his_o conscience_n tell_v he_o shall_v be_v do_v hereupon_o the_o lord_n take_v away_o that_o good_a spirit_n from_o saul_n and_o give_v he_o a_o evil_a spirit_n as_o himself_o confess_v to_o the_o witch_n of_o endor_n and_o as_o some_o divine_n understand_v that_o say_n of_o david_n psal_n 51._o 11._o cast_v i_o not_o out_o of_o thy_o sight_n or_o presence_n be_v not_o to_o be_v understand_v of_o government_n but_o of_o the_o church_n of_o god_n cast_v i_o not_o out_o of_o thy_o presence_n as_o thou_o do_v my_o predecessor_n saul_n ergo_fw-la it_o be_v evident_a that_o saul_n be_v give_v over_o even_o in_o this_o life_n second_o that_o of_o the_o heb._n 12._o 16_o 17_o 18._o say_v the_o text_n let_v there_o not_o be_v a_o profane_a person_n among_o you_o as_o esau_n mark_v that_o man_n be_v a_o profane_a man_n that_o for_o one_o morsel_n of_o profit_n or_o pleasure_n will_v cast_v off_o the_o favour_n of_o the_o live_a god_n let_v there_o not_o be_v any_o such_o among_o you_o say_v the_o text._n the_o apostle_n mean_v not_o the_o outward_a inheritance_n only_o but_o that_o which_o be_v of_o the_o sonship_n of_o god_n which_o the_o birthright_n than_o be_v three_o luke_n 19_o 41_o 42._o where_o our_o saviour_n weep_v over_o jerusalem_n oh_o jerusalem_n etc._n etc._n oh_o that_o thou_o have_v know_v in_o this_o thy_o day_n of_o visitation_n etc._n etc._n but_o now_o they_o be_v hide_v from_o thy_o eye_n why_o because_o thou_o do_v not_o know_v thy_o time_n god_n visit_v we_o from_o day_n to_o day_n either_o in_o mercy_n or_o judgement_n in_o mercy_n when_o he_o perform_v that_o which_o he_o have_v promise_v in_o judgement_n when_o he_o bring_v on_o man_n those_o judgement_n which_o former_o he_o denounce_v so_o our_o saviour_n tell_v they_o they_o have_v a_o day_n oh_o that_o thou_o have_v know_v in_o this_o thy_o day_n etc._n etc._n but_o now_o they_o be_v hide_v from_o thy_o eye_n and_o thou_o shall_v see_v they_o no_o more_o thus_o you_o see_v it_o be_v plain_o prove_v by_o evidence_n of_o scripture_n second_o i_o will_v show_v you_o how_o the_o lord_n deal_v with_o such_o rebellious_a &_o stubborn_a creature_n who_o after_o the_o lord_n have_v try_v all_o conclusion_n on_o they_o yet_o can_v bring_v they_o to_o amendment_n but_o that_o still_o they_o will_v go_v on_o in_o their_o sin_n than_o the_o lord_n change_v his_o mind_n and_o he_o repent_v he_o of_o the_o good_a he_o have_v do_v unto_o they_o and_o so_o he_o repent_v that_o he_o have_v make_v saul_n king_n but_o how_o can_v god_n repent_v object_n i_o answer_v there_o may_v be_v a_o change_n of_o the_o answ_n thing_n though_o not_o of_o the_o person_n the_o lord_n repent_v that_o ever_o he_o set_v a_o minister_n over_o a_o soul_n to_o convert_v it_o if_o it_o despise_v his_o ministry_n though_o moses_n and_o samuel_n stand_v before_o i_o yet_o my_o mind_n can_v not_o be_v towards_o they_o the_o lord_n then_o have_v a_o mind_n he_o love_v the_o young_a man_n in_o the_o gospel_n that_o be_v he_o kind_o invite_v he_o but_o yet_o say_v the_o text_n he_o go_v away_o sorrowful_a he_o will_v not_o sell_v all_o to_o follow_v christ_n so_o the_o lord_n of_o heaven_n and_o earth_n strive_v with_o man_n he_o have_v a_o good_a mind_n to_o win_v they_o he_o send_v his_o minister_n to_o they_o and_o when_o will_v it_o be_v that_o that_o unclean_a lust_n of_o thou_o will_v be_v reform_v the_o lord_n call_v the_o first_o second_o and_o three_o time_n and_o when_o he_o see_v it_o will_v not_o prevail_v at_o last_o he_o give_v thou_o over_o the_o lord_n give_v over_o that_o man_n to_o the_o power_n of_o that_o sin_n which_o he_o never_o do_v before_o when_o he_o strive_v with_o he_o we_o must_v either_o lose_v our_o sin_n or_o our_o soul_n and_o ergo_fw-la if_o no_o mean_n will_v serve_v to_o bring_v a_o man_n home_o than_o the_o lord_n give_v he_o over_o to_o commit_v his_o old_a sin_n see_v psal_n 82._o 11._o 12._o the_o lord_n tell_v there_o what_o he_o have_v do_v for_o israel_n how_o he_o have_v bring_v they_o out_o of_o egypt_n but_o my_o people_n say_v he_o will_v not_o hear_v israel_n will_v none_o of_o i_o none_o of_o my_o holiness_n none_o of_o my_o pureness_n none_o of_o my_o way_n but_o their_o own_o way_n will_n and_o wit_n be_v best_o ergo_fw-la say_v the_o lord_n i_o give_v they_o up_o to_o their_o own_o heart_n lust_n he_o do_v not_o say_v he_o give_v they_o up_o unto_o the_o syrian_n to_o plague_v they_o nor_o to_o the_o enemy_n of_o the_o church_n to_o ride_v upon_o they_o but_o to_o their_o own_o lust_n the_o incestuous_a person_n receive_v good_a by_o his_o excommunication_n but_o when_o a_o man_n be_v give_v over_o unto_o rebellion_n it_o be_v hard_o for_o he_o to_o be_v recall_v back_o it_o have_v be_v better_a for_o that_o man_n if_o he_o have_v never_o be_v bear_v for_o as_o the_o skin_n

we_o now_o to_o the_o reason_n which_o be_v principal_o these_o four_o the_o first_o reason_n be_v take_v from_o the_o scope_n reas_n 1_o and_o end_n for_o which_o the_o lord_n do_v send_v his_o son_n

in_o spite_n of_o god_n against_o the_o will_n and_o purpose_n of_o god_n god_n have_v predestinate_v that_o all_o that_o shall_v have_v life_n &_o glory_n shall_v be_v make_v conformable_a to_o his_o
