no_o this_o discourse_n favour_v strong_o of_o a_o conceit_n that_o it_o be_v in_o the_o power_n of_o a_o unregenerate_a man_n to_o change_v his_o own_o heart_n and_o of_o a_o heart_n of_o stone_n to_o change_v it_o into_o a_o heart_n of_o flesh_n and_o in_o this_o case_n i_o confess_v it_o be_v very_o probable_a that_o god_n shall_v earnest_o desire_v it_o provide_v that_o any_o ineffectual_a and_o changeable_a desire_n be_v incident_a unto_o god_n that_o when_o god_n put_v forth_o the_o second_o act_n of_o positive_a retribution_n answ_n viz._n the_o rejection_n of_o the_o world_n or_o

former_o allege_v in_o the_o fone-going_a point_n for_o when_o god_n do_v express_v by_o his_o oath_n his_o will_n and_o good_a pleasure_n to_o be_v not_o for_o the_o death_n but_o life_n and_o conversion_n of_o sinner_n be_v it_o not_o after_o the_o fall_n of_o adam_n and_o all_o his_o posterity_n in_o he_o then_o notwithstanding_o the_o presupposal_n of_o the_o fall_n god_n have_v not_o

world_n i_o say_v now_o after_o the_o fall_n lie_v in_o wickedness_n sure_o god_n do_v not_o then_o upon_o the_o fall_n reprobate_v the_o world_n unto_o eternal_a condemnation_n and_o perdition_n if_o you_o say_v god_n may_v well_o reprobate_a the_o world_n unto_o condemnation_n upon_o the_o fall_n and_o yet_o still_o after_o the_o fall_n us●_n mean_v for_o their_o conversion_n and_o salvation_n because_o those_o mean_n do_v but_o further_o aggravate_v their_o condemnation_n i_o answer_v these_o do_v indeed_o further_o aggravate_v their_o condemnation_n but_o it_o be_v but_o by_o accident_n only_o by_o their_o neglect_n and_o abuse_v of_o they_o but_o the_o proper_a end_n which_o god_n himself_o of_o himself_o aim_v at_o in_o the_o use_n of_o these_o mean_n himself_o plain_o express_v it_o to_o be_v not_o the_o aggravation_n or_o procurement_n of_o their_o condemnation_n but_o the_o restore_n of_o they_o to_o salvation_n and_o life_n as_o have_v be_v before_o declare_v so_o then_o to_o draw_v all_o to_o a_o head_n the_o sum_n of_o this_o first_o reason_n be_v if_o god_n after_o the_o fall_n do_v retain_v a_o will_n and_o purpose_n to_o restore_v life_n to_o the_o world_n upon_o a_o equal_a condition_n than_o he_o do_v not_o upon_o the_o fall_n or_o upon_o the_o only_a consideration_n of_o the_o fall_n reject_v the_o world_n of_o the_o ungodly_a unto_o their_o utter_a perdition_n but_o you_o see_v god_n retain_v after_o the_o fall_v a_o holy_a will_n and_o purpose_n of_o restore_a life_n unto_o the_o world_n upon_o a_o equal_a condition_n as_o appear_v by_o his_o oath_n by_o his_o covenant_n and_o by_o his_o work_n therefore_o the_o conclusion_n which_o be_v the_o point_n in_o hand_n be_v evident_a i_o marvel_v what_o you_o mean_v to_o call_v god_n decree_n of_o condemnation_n his_o act_n of_o retribution_n retribution_n be_v a_o act_n temporal_a and_o examine_v transient_a the_o decree_n of_o god_n be_v a_o act_n immanent_a and_o eternal_a and_o therefore_o it_o be_v not_o so_o handsome_o say_v to_o be_v the_o put_v forth_o of_o a_o act_n for_o so_o much_o as_o it_o be_v immanent_a and_o not_o transient_a it_o be_v manifest_a i_o confess_v that_o sin_n be_v always_o precedent_a to_o the_o retribution_n of_o punishment_n as_o it_o be_v without_o controversy_n that_o sin_n neither_o be_v nor_o can_v be_v antecedent_n to_o god_n decree_n sin_n be_v temporal_a but_o all_o god_n decree_n eternal_a and_o i_o have_v find_v it_o by_o experience_n to_o be_v a_o usual_a course_n with_o our_o adversary_n to_o confound_v condemnation_n with_o the_o decree_n of_o condemnation_n and_o junius_n himself_o very_o incongruous_o in_o my_o judgement_n call_v this_o decree_n praedamnatio_fw-la to_o make_v the_o fair_a place_n as_o i_o guess_v for_o sin_n precedency_n thereunto_o at_o least_o in_o consideration_n but_o no_o necessity_n urge_v we_o to_o any_o such_o course_n and_o we_o may_v well_o maintain_v that_o god_n in_o this_o decree_n of_o condemnation_n have_v always_o the_o consideration_n of_o that_o sin_n for_o which_o he_o purpose_v to_o damn_v they_o for_o undoubted_o he_o decree_v to_o condemn_v no_o man_n but_o for_o sin_n it_o be_v impossible_a it_o shall_v be_v otherwise_o condemnation_n in_o the_o notion_n thereof_o formal_o include_v sin_n but_o i_o like_v not_o your_o expression_n in_o the_o distinction_n you_o make_v say_v god_n consider_v man_n in_o this_o sin_n not_o as_o new_o fall_v in_o adam_n but_o as_o voluntary_o fall_v off_o you_o mean_v long_o after_o by_o some_o act_n of_o careless_a and_o wilful_a disobedience_n when_o god_n make_v this_o decree_n they_o be_v not_o new_o that_o be_v a_o little_a before_o fall_v in_o adam_n for_o that_o fall_n in_o adam_n be_v temporal_a but_o the_o decree_n of_o god_n be_v eternal_a and_o to_o consider_v as_o new_o fall_v when_o as_o yet_o they_o be_v not_o much_o less_o be_v they_o fall_v be_v not_o so_o much_o to_o consider_v as_o to_o err_v or_o feign_v but_o like_a as_o god_n decree_v to_o suffer_v all_o to_o fall_v in_o adam_n and_o many_o also_o to_o continue_v both_o therein_o and_o in_o bring_v forth_o the_o bitter_a fruit_n thereof_o even_o until_o death_n so_o he_o purpose_v to_o condemn_v they_o for_o those_o sin_n but_o take_v heed_n you_o do_v not_o make_v a_o order_n of_o prius_fw-la and_o posterius_fw-la between_o these_o decree_n lest_o either_o you_o make_v the_o decree_n of_o condemnation_n precedent_n to_o the_o decree_n of_o permission_n of_o those_o sin_n for_o which_o they_o shall_v be_v condemn_v which_o will_v be_v direct_o contradictory_n to_o your_o tenet_n here_o or_o make_v god_n decree_n of_o permit_v such_o sin_n for_o which_o they_o shall_v be_v condemn_v precedent_n to_o his_o decree_n of_o condemnation_n whereunto_o you_o do_v incline_v unaware_o which_o will_v cast_v you_o upon_o miserable_a inconvenience_n and_o that_o by_o your_o own_o rule_n already_o deliver_v for_o if_o the_o

all_o as_o it_o be_v free_a for_o god_n to_o give_v grace_n to_o who_o he_o will_v and_o so_o to_o bring_v they_o to_o salvation_n the_o purpose_n whereof_o be_v call_v god_n election_n so_o be_v it_o

say_v there_o be_v no_o good_a thing_n possible_a to_o be_v though_o it_o never_o come_v to_o pass_v as_o that_o all_o man_n in_o all_o thing_n shall_v obey_v the_o word_n of_o god_n but_o that_o
