natural_o have_v no_o judgement_n therefore_o they_o be_v not_o subject_a to_o the_o law_n saint_n bernard_n say_v true_a it_o be_v that_o god_n justice_n sometime_o take_v hold_v of_o the_o

to_o the_o one_o by_o promise_n and_o to_o the_o other_o by_o due_a desert_n we_o will_v open_v this_o i_o say_v he_o be_v bind_v to_o the_o one_o by_o promise_n for_o the_o righteousness_n and_o conversation_n of_o any_o man_n whatsoever_o never_o deserve_v any_o thing_n at_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n because_o that_o good_a which_o they_o do_v be_v none_o of_o their_o own_o 2_o cor._n 3.5_o we_o be_v not_o sufficient_a of_o ourselves_o to_o think_v a_o good_a thought_n be_v there_o then_o a_o good_a will_n no_o the_o apostle_n say_v god_n work_v in_o we_o the_o will_n and_o the_o deed_n philip._n 2.13_o as_o saint_n austin_n speak_v my_o god_n whatsoever_o i_o have_v be_v thy_o donation_n thou_o give_v all_o and_o in_o many_o other_o place_n whatsoever_o he_o be_v that_o number_n

and_o defile_v like_o a_o menstruous_a cloth_n merit_v any_o thing_n at_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n therefore_o if_o god_n reward_v any_o man_n righteousness_n he_o do_v it_o not_o out_o of_o merit_n

show_v it_o be_v of_o promise_n and_o not_o of_o merit_n and_o hence_o it_o be_v that_o the_o apostle_n saint_n paul_n appeal_v to_o justice_n 2_o tim._n 4.8_o i_o have_v fight_v the_o good_a fight_n

act_n of_o righteousness_n to_o give_v it_o because_o promise_v god_n have_v make_v himself_o a_o debtor_n say_v saint_n austin_n not_o by_o receive_v any_o thing_n from_o man_n but_o by_o make_v promise_n to_o man_n and_o promise_v we_o know_v be_v due_a debt_n therefore_o we_o say_v that_o he_o be_v bind_v to_o the_o one_o by_o promise_n to_o the_o other_o he_o stand_v bind_v by_o due_a desert_n but_o it_o may_v be_v object_v why_o shall_v the_o sin_n of_o man_n deserve_v and_o not_o their_o good_a work_n because_o that_o which_o be_v good_a be_v neither_o their_o own_o nor_o perfect_a and_o be_v therefore_o recompense_v in_o much_o mercy_n according_a to_o promise_v that_o which_o be_v evil_a be_v their_o own_o flow_v from_o their_o own_o corruption_n and_o absolute_o evil_a and_o therefore_o punish_v according_a to_o desert_n in_o justice_n saint_n gregory_n say_v our_o good_a thing_n be_v not_o pure_o good_a but_o our_o evil_a thing_n be_v pure_o evil_a and_o therefore_o god_n when_o he_o come_v to_o judge_v he_o judge_v one_o by_o mercy_n respect_v his_o promise_n and_o the_o other_o by_o justice_n due_o reward_v they_o and_o thus_o we_o have_v see_v this_o description_n open_v use_v 1_o the_o first_o use_n teach_v we_o that_o though_o the_o work_n of_o god_n seem_v to_o we_o at_o any_o time_n unjust_a yet_o we_o must_v acknowledge_v they_o just_a though_o flesh_n and_o blood_n can_v see_v the_o reason_n of_o they_o flesh_n and_o blood_n must_v be_v silent_a and_o say_v it_o be_v justice_n that_o have_v do_v it_o saint_n austin_n say_v the_o

way_n be_v judgement_n therefore_o though_o we_o can_v see_v no_o cause_n why_o he_o shall_v do_v they_o we_o must_v lay_v our_o hand_n upon_o our_o mouth_n for_o instance_n do_v god_n cast_v adam_n out_o of_o paradise_n for_o eat_v fruit_n and_o do_v he_o bring_v a_o curse_n upon_o all_o his_o posterity_n though_o we_o can_v give_v a_o reason_n or_o though_o we_o can_v not_o give_v a_o reason_n for_o it_o yet_o it_o be_v just_a for_o god_n have_v do_v it_o you_o will_v say_v what_o for_o so_o small_a a_o thing_n to_o bring_v a_o curse_n upon_o he_o and_o all_o his_o posterity_n though_o humane_a sense_n can_v see_v no_o reason_n yet_o it_o be_v just_a so_o that_o that_o god_n do_v in_o destroy_v corah_n dathan_n and_o abiram_n and_o all_o their_o family_n wife_n and_o child_n if_o we_o can_v see_v no_o reason_n for_o it_o yet_o it_o be_v just_a again_o do_v the_o lord_n elect_v some_o to_o salvation_n and_o do_v he_o reprobate_a other_o can_v we_o give_v no_o reason_n for_o

measure_v by_o both_o those_o truth_n and_o be_v not_o the_o measure_n of_o they_o and_o thus_o we_o see_v truth_n be_v but_o one_o because_o all_o flow_v from_o one_o there_o be_v no_o truth_n in_o

147.5_o a_o finite_a wisdom_n may_v err_v because_o it_o do_v not_o know_v all_o thing_n perfect_o but_o infinite_a wisdom_n apprehend_v all_o thing_n perfect_o therefore_o it_o can_v err_v quest_n why_o say_v you_o he_o speak_v and_o work_v truth_n without_o feign_v and_o dissimulation_n answ_n because_o he_o be_v the_o chief_a good_a into_o which_o no_o evil_a can_v fall_v god_n be_v the_o

be_v dissemble_v as_o when_o he_o testify_v of_o christ_n that_o he_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n it_o be_v a_o lie_a speech_n because_o whatsoever_o he_o do_v he_o do_v it_o to_o deceive_v for_o if_o

of_o god_n be_v good_a and_o so_o certain_a and_o true_a without_o feign_v or_o dissimulation_n quest_n why_o do_v he_o constant_o perform_v whatsoever_o he_o have_v speak_v answ_n because_o he_o be_v
