the_o maker_n and_o for_o this_o cause_n paul_n do_v make_v this_o comparison_n betwixt_o this_o election_n of_o grace_n 9_o and_o the_o power_n of_o the_o potter_n do_v the_o thing_n form_v say_v paul_n say_v to_o he_o that_o form_v it_o why_o have_v thou_o make_v i_o thus_o have_v not_o the_o potter_n power_n over_o the_o clay_n to_o make_v of_o the_o same_o lump_n one_o vessel_n to_o

the_o same_o power_n have_v god_n over_o man_n the_o potter_n be_v of_o power_n to_o make_v vesseles_a to_o honour_n or_o to_o dishonour_n as_o he_o list_v nor_o be_v bind_v to_o any_o worthiness_n of_o the_o clay_n ergo_fw-la god_n be_v of_o power_n to_o dispose_v his_o creature_n after_o the_o bounty_n of_o mercy_n or_o measure_n of_o his_o justice_n as_o he_o list_v without_o all_o regard_n of_o desert_n in_o his_o creature_n other_o to_o this_o argument_n the_o adversary_n make_v this_o answer_n that_o they_o do_v not_o take_v away_o power_n from_o god_n and_o that_o they_o be_v not_o

this_o rejection_n consist_v in_o mercy_n but_o in_o the_o only_a will_n of_o god_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v the_o only_a will_n of_o god_n which_o do_v defend_v mercy_n in_o election_n and_o justice_n in_o rejection_n for_o otherwise_o how_o can_v this_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o the_o only_a mercy_n of_o god_n shall_v defend_v his_o justice_n either_o in_o the_o reprobate_n in_o who_o

no_o say_v you_o for_o so_o much_o as_o nothing_o can_v more_o vary_v from_o the_o mind_n of_o the_o apostle_n paul_n nor_o be_v more_o repugnaunt_a to_o the_o most_o mild_a nature_n of_o god_n then_o to_o conceive_v that_o god_n shall_v himself_o frame_v vessel_n unto_o dishonour_n sing_v that_o no_o man_n run_v headlong_o into_o ruin_n but_o through_o his_o own_o voluntary_a blindenes_n and_o

the_o will_n of_o god_n receive_v unto_o mercy_n those_o that_o have_v offend_v so_o that_o nothing_o withstand_v now_o why_o the_o vessel_n of_o wrath_n shall_v be_v less_o deem_v to_o be_v fashion_v

then_o leave_v out_o the_o word_n fashion_v to_o say_v vessel_n of_o destruction_n for_o this_o will_v have_v accord_v far_o fit_a with_o your_o exposition_n if_o so_o be_v that_o he_o think_v that_o the_o vessel_n do_v perish_v without_o the_o will_n of_o god_n again_o why_o do_v he_o call_v they_o vessel_n and_o not_o creature_n rather_o why_o do_v he_o annexe_v this_o supply_n to_o wit_n wrath_n final_o why_o do_v he_o bring_v in_o god_n himself_o willing_a to_o show_v forth_o his_o wrath_n against_o the_o vessel_n of_o wrath_n but_o that_o you_o shall_v understand_v that_o all_o
