the_o spirit_n have_v first_o teach_v he_o so_o when_o the_o spirit_n say_v unto_o ezekiel_n 2.1.2_o ezech._n 2.1.2_o son_n of_o man_n stand_v upon_o thy_o foot_n the_o spirit_n himself_o do_v set_v

enlighten_v they_o assist_v they_o enable_v they_o and_o draw_v they_o to_o do_v it_o good_a that_o god_n compel_v not_o his_o servant_n to_o do_v any_o good_a and_o yet_o we_o must_v not_o so_o understand_v it_o as_o that_o he_o do_v it_o violent_o by_o way_n of_o coaction_n but_o sweet_o and_o gentle_o by_o way_n of_o insinuation_n for_o he_o draw_v we_o levi_n spiritu_fw-la non_fw-la

satan_n can_v force_v we_o to_o sin_n but_o only_o by_o way_n of_o suggestion_n so_o god_n will_v not_o compel_v we_o to_o grace_n but_o only_o by_o way_n of_o inclination_n and_o a_o sweet_a secret_a

we_o shall_v never_o be_v able_a to_o seek_v for_o christ_n to_o come_v to_o god_n and_o therefore_o to_o express_v both_o the_o necessity_n of_o such_o help_n and_o the_o manner_n of_o god_n work_v

the_o wicked_a seek_v not_o god_n and_o therefore_o hence_o it_o be_v apparent_a that_o the_o reason_n why_o all_o man_n do_v not_o seek_v for_o christ_n and_o serve_v their_o god_n be_v because_o god_n in_o justice_n leave_v they_o and_o do_v not_o thus_o incline_v their_o heart_n to_o seek_v for_o he_o for_o if_o he_o do_v it_o how_o can_v they_o withstand_v it_o 9.19_o rom._n 9.19_o for_o

and_o incline_v their_o heart_n to_o seek_v after_o he_o i_o answer_v that_o this_o be_v a_o false_a conclusion_n sol._n sol._n lay_v upon_o no_o good_a foundation_n for_o in_o the_o action_n of_o the_o wicked_a he_o do_v not_o drive_v they_o to_o sin_n nor_o have_v the_o least_o finger_n in_o their_o iniquity_n but_o he_o only_o leave_v they_o to_o their_o own_o invention_n and_o so_o the_o

to_o the_o one_o he_o show_v favour_n and_o do_v incline_v his_o heart_n to_o leave_v his_o sin_n and_o to_o seek_v for_o christ_n illi_fw-la facit_fw-la indebitam_fw-la misericordiam_fw-la he_o do_v
