of_o god_n to_o they_o by_o the_o seed_n of_o the_o woman_n christ_n the_o lord_n be_v clear_a also_o and_o it_o be_v twofold_a the_o one_o external_a and_o the_o other_o internal_a the_o external_a

be_v to_o choose_v and_o refuse_v all_o object_n as_o it_o like_v or_o as_o it_o like_v they_o not_o and_o so_o from_o this_o understanding_n and_o will_n man_n from_o his_o own_o council_n and_o

god_n make_v these_o twofold_a faculty_n a_o four_o mean_n to_o his_o say_a final_a end_n again_o god_n implant_v in_o man_n internal_a knowable_a power_n in_o his_o first_o estate_n the_o law_n of_o

3.8_o mar._n 5.9_o 1_o john_n 3.8_o than_o they_o lay_v their_o platform_n how_o to_o confound_v and_o frustrate_v god_n final_a end_n in_o reference_n to_o his_o glory_n in_o one_o particular_a

liberty_n of_o the_o will_n in_o man_n and_o angel_n consist_v in_o this_o as_o be_v say_v namely_o to_o choose_v or_o refuse_v all_o object_n as_o it_o like_v or_o as_o it_o like_v they_o not_o therefore_o their_o estate_n stand_v all_o alike_o contingent_a for_o the_o future_a to_o stand_v in_o it_o or_o to_o fall_v from_o it_o therefore_o because_o these_o angel_n do_v voluntary_o refuse_v to_o assume_v god_n glory_n to_o themselves_o and_o do_v choose_v to_o render_v the_o sole_a glory_n of_o all_o they_o have_v to_o he_o in_o all_o their_o strength_n therefore_o this_o be_v the_o

to_o a_o establishment_n in_o their_o choice_n namely_o so_o to_o render_v he_o glory_n to_o eternity_n as_o a_o reward_n of_o their_o labour_n of_o love_n consequent_o to_o be_v bless_v to_o eternity_n because_o they_o may_v refuse_v so_o to_o do_v as_o do_v the_o other_o thus_o god_n do_v render_v to_o all_o the_o angel_n according_a to_o their_o work_n good_a or_o bad_a some_o to_o honour_n some_o to_o dishonour_n and_o so_o accomplish_v his_o final_a end_n on_o they_o all_o to_o eternity_n and_o because_o this_o final_a execution_n have_v thus_o pass_v upon_o they_o all_o it_o follow_v that_o as_o the_o reject_a angel_n can_v never_o will_v to_o render_v glory_n to_o god_n as_o once_o they_o may_v before_o they_o abuse_v it_o because_o by_o the_o justice_n of_o that_o

that_o so_o the_o event_n of_o the_o operation_n of_o man_n and_o angel_n may_v be_v contingent_a that_o from_o thence_o may_v arise_v their_o work_n good_a and_o bad_a and_o according_o to_o be_v
