when_o both_o the_o one_o and_o other_o become_v holy_a by_o the_o grace_n of_o conversion_n before_o which_o time_n and_o after_o too_o god_n be_v angry_a even_o with_o his_o elect_n and_o testify_v his_o hatred_n of_o their_o sin_n as_o much_o as_o of_o any_o other_o by_o manifold_a chastisement_n upon_o their_o person_n for_o their_o offence_n wherefore_o though_o paul_n be_v a_o choose_a

high_o displease_v to_o god_n till_o after_o his_o conversion_n most_o true_a it_o be_v that_o sin_n do_v just_o make_v that_o person_n hateful_a in_o who_o it_o be_v and_o it_o do_v so_o in_o the_o reprobate_n who_o sin_n god_n hate_v and_o for_o their_o sin_n their_o person_n which_o he_o always_o behold_v pollute_v in_o their_o uncleanness_n yet_o in_o the_o elect_n who_o he_o have_v love_v for_o ever_o this_o difference_n of_o affection_n be_v manifest_a god_n approve_v of_o their_o person_n whilst_o he_o disallow_v their_o corruption_n and_o when_o his_o fierce_a wrath_n be_v show_v against_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o elect_a in_o the_o person_n of_o etc._n christ_n then_o do_v god_fw-we most_o compassionate_o love_v the_o person_n both_o of_o christ_n and_o of_o all_o the_o

yet_o he_o punish_v his_o transgression_n sharp_o and_o we_o see_v nothing_o more_o common_a in_o christian_a observation_n than_o for_o man_n after_o such_o time_n as_o they_o be_v convert_v and_o assure_v of_o god_n tender_a love_n unto_o they_o yet_o then_o to_o feel_v the_o bitter_a storm_n of_o his_o displeasure_n raise_v up_o against_o they_o for_o their_o sin_n hence_o than_o it_o appear_v that_o our_o effectual_a vocation_n and_o conversion_n be_v just_o to_o be_v account_v a_o fruit_n or_o effect_v of_o god_n singular_a favour_n towards_o the_o person_n of_o his_o elect_v with_o who_o be_v actual_o reconcile_v in_o christ_n have_v justify_v they_o from_o all_o their_o sin_n by_o his_o merit_n he_o afterward_o send_v forth_o his_o holy_a spirit_n into_o their_o heart_n call_v they_o from_o darkness_n to_o light_n from_o under_o the_o power_n of_o satan_n and_o their_o corruption_n to_o the_o liberty_n of_o god_n son_n that_o be_v thus_o sanctify_v they_o may_v be_v make_v meet_a to_o be_v partaker_n of_o the_o inheritance_n with_o the_o saint_n in_o light_n and_o whereas_o that_o place_n of_o the_o apostle_n heb._n 11._o 6._o without_o faith_n it_o be_v impossible_a to_o please_v god_n may_v breed_v a_o doubt_n against_o this_o which_o have_v beespoken_v as_o seem_v to_o imply_v that_o before_o our_o actual_a conversion_n and_o believe_v we_o be_v no_o way_n at_o all_o please_a unto_o god_n nor_o belove_v of_o he_o for_o the_o remove_n of_o this_o scruple_n we_o be_v according_a to_o the_o second_o distinction_n understand_v this_o place_n of_o the_o action_n not_o to_o the_o person_n of_o the_o elect._n towards_o their_o person_n he_o bear_v perpetual_a goodwill_n but_o this_o be_v secret_a they_o feel_v it_o not_o nor_o do_v so_o much_o appear_v unto_o they_o or_o other_o till_o their_o conversion_n when_o only_o god_n declare_v himself_o to_o be_v please_v both_o with_o their_o person_n and_o action_n but_o for_o their_o action_n it_o be_v certain_a no_o work_n whatsoever_o any_o of_o the_o elect_n do_v before_o the_o infusion_n of_o save_v faith_n can_v be_v do_v according_a to_o god_n will_v and_o so_o be_v please_v unto_o

itself_o for_o it_o be_v apparent_a the_o apostle_n give_v a_o reason_n why_o abel_n sacrifice_n please_v god_n not_o cain_n why_o enoch_n life_n and_o religious_a walk_v with_o god_n be_v please_v to_o he_o namely_o because_o they_o have_v faith_n in_o and_o by_o which_o they_o perform_v those_o service_n acceptable_o without_o which_o faith_n it_o be_v impossible_a say_v the_o apostle_n to_o please_v god_n namely_o in_o any_o work_n that_o we_o go_v about_o &_o he_o add_v the_o reason_n for_o he_o that_o come_v to_o god_n whether_o in_o sacrifice_n prayer_n or_o any_o other_o religious_a duty_n to_o be_v perform_v to_o god_n he_o must_v believe_v that_o god_n be_v &_o that_o he_o be_v a_o rewarder_n of_o they_o that_o diligent_o seek_v he_o here_o therefore_o be_v nothing_o against_o that_o love_n of_o god_n which_o he_o always_o bear_v towards_o his_o elect_n in_o christ_n through_o who_o they_o be_v please_v unto_o he_o when_o yet_o their_o work_n please_v he_o not_o and_o thus_o much_o of_o the_o move_a cause_n of_o our_o effectual_a vocation_n viz._n god_n love_n and_o actual_a reconciliation_n with_o the_o elect._n from_o hence_o i_o deduce_v two_o corollary_n 1._o
