of_o sober_a and_o watchful_a faith_n will_v admit_v the_o contrary_a voice_n of_o any_o man_n another_o scripture_n rom._n 11.5_o even_o so_o also_o at_o this_o present_a time_n there_o be_v a_o remnant_n according_a to_o the_o election_n of_o grace_n and_o if_o of_o grace_n it_o be_v no_o more_o of_o work_n otherwise_o grace_n be_v no_o more_o grace_n here_o the_o reason_n be_v give_v why_o among_o the_o misbelieve_a obstinate_a wicked_a jew_n there_o be_v a_o few_o remnant_n who_o do_v believe_v and_o be_v save_v the_o grace_n faith_n salvation_n of_o this_o remnant_n be_v ascribe_v to_o their_o election_n as_o the_o cause_n &_o this_o election_n be_v affirm_v to_o come_v alone_o of_o god_n grace_n and_o deny_v to_o have_v proceed_v of_o any_o of_o their_o work_n yea_o these_o thing_n be_v not_o simple_o affirm_v that_o the_o grace_n and_o salvation_n of_o the_o remnant_n come_v from_o election_n that_o this_o election_n be_v of_o grace_n that_o it_o be_v not_o of_o work_n but_o far_a work_n and_o grace_n in_o this_o matter_n of_o election_n be_v declare_v to_o be_v incompatible_a so_o that_o those_o who_o make_v our_o election_n to_o depend_v on_o work_n or_o to_o be_v

arminius_n so_o long_o as_o he_o live_v dare_v never_o ascribe_v election_n to_o good_a work_n as_o his_o follower_n now_o do_v yea_o the_o lutheran_n to_o this_o day_n dare_v not_o do_v it_o but_o the_o place_n refute_v even_o that_o which_o they_o say_v that_o election_n be_v of_o faith_n albeit_o not_o of_o work_n clear_o enough_o especial_o as_o arminius_n expound_v faith_n for_o he_o make_v election_n and_o justification_n to_o depend_v on_o faith_n not_o as_o it_o be_v a_o instrument_n apply_v christ_n but_o as_o it_o be_v a_o evangelicall_n work_n which_o god_n have_v appoint_v under_o the_o gospel_n to_o be_v a_o save_a quality_n of_o itself_o as_o perfect_a obedience_n shall_v have_v be_v under_o the_o law_n in_o this_o sense_n faith_n be_v a_o true_a work_n and_o who_o deny_v election_n to_o be_v of_o work_n deny_v it_o as_o well_o to_o be_v of_o faith_n which_o be_v a_o work_n but_o take_v faith_n as_o you_o will_v this_o place_n remove_v it_o from_o election_n for_o it_o ascribe_v election_n to_o god_n grace_n alone_o exclude_v faith_n work_n or_o what_o ever_o be_v in_o we_o the_o clearness_n of_o this_o place_n change_v augustine_n his_o mind_n and_o deliver_v he_o from_o that_o lutheran_n error_n wherein_o long_o he_o lay_v believe_v election_n to_o have_v be_v of_o faith_n albeit_o not_o of_o work_n 8.28_o work_n ad_fw-la hoc_fw-la perduxi_fw-la
