The first part. By Tho. Taylor, the meanest and unworthiest of the servants and ministers of Jesus Christ; and now pastor to a small congregational church in Cambridge.

for_o many_o false_a prophet_n be_v go_v out_o into_o the_o world_n and_o we_o shall_v first_o try_v the_o first_o of_o these_o doctrine_n as_o namely_o quest._n 1._o whether_o god_n elect_v or_o any_o sort_n of_o man_n be_v justify_v from_o all_o eternity_n as_o some_o do_v say_v and_o affirm_v and_o unto_o this_o we_o answer_v affirmative_o in_o two_o thing_n namely_o 1._o that_o there_o be_v and_o be_v a_o gracious_a purpose_n which_o god_n have_v purpose_v in_o himself_o from_o all_o eternity_n to_o justify_v and_o save_v his_o elect_n through_o faith_n in_o his_o son_n jesus_n christ_n ephes._n 1.9_o according_a to_o his_o good_a pleasure_n which_o he_o have_v purpose_v in_o himself_o and_o again_o 2_o tim._n 1.9_o but_o according_a to_o his_o own_o purpose_n and_o grace_n which_o be_v give_v we_o in_o christ_n jesus_n before_o the_o world_n begin_v and_o the_o apostle_n in_o the_o context_n do_v not_o only_o plain_o imply_v but_o express_o declare_v the_o same_o when_o he_o say_v rom._n 8.28_o to_o they_o who_o be_v the_o call_v according_a to_o his_o purpose_n and_o then_o ver_fw-la 30._o who_o he_o call_v they_o he_o also_o justify_v therefore_o there_o be_v and_o be_v such_o a_o purpose_n in_o god_n before_o the_o world_n begin_v to_o call_v and_o justify_v they_o 2._o that_o all_o that_o have_v be_v be_v now_o or_o hereafter_o shall_v be_v justify_v through_o faith_n in_o jesus_n christ_n from_o the_o foundation_n of_o the_o world_n to_o the_o end_n thereof_o have_v be_v be_v now_o and_o shall_v be_v justify_v according_a to_o this_o purpose_n which_o god_n have_v purpose_a in_o himself_o before_o the_o world_n begin_v and_o no_o otherwise_o as_o ephes._n 1.11_o in_o who_o also_o we_o have_v obtain_v a_o inheritance_n and_o this_o inheritance_n can_v be_v obtain_v without_o free_a justification_n by_o grace_n as_o tit._n 3_o 7._o be_v predestinate_v according_a to_o the_o purpose_n of_o he_o who_o work_v all_o thing_n after_o or_o according_a to_o the_o counsel_n of_o his_o own_o will_n for_o in_o that_o he_o say_v all_o thing_n it_o be_v manifest_a that_o he_o work_v this_o one_o thing_n among_o all_o the_o rest_n even_o his_o justify_v his_o elect_n through_o faith_n in_o his_o son_n jesus_n christ_n after_o or_o according_a to_o this_o counsel_n of_o his_o own_o will_n and_o ephes._n 1.3_o 4._o who_o have_v bless_v we_o with_o all_o spiritual_a blessing_n in_o heavenly_a place_n in_o christ_n among_o which_o spiritual_a blessing_n that_o of_o justification_n must_v be_v acknowledge_v to_o be_v one_o and_o none_o of_o the_o least_o or_o last_o of_o those_o blessing_n it_o follow_v ver_fw-la 4._o according_a as_o he_o have_v choose_v we_o in_o he_o before_o the_o foundation_n of_o the_o world_n and_o again_o 2_o tim._n 1.9_o who_o have_v save_v we_o and_o call_v we_o with_o a_o holy_a call_n not_o according_a to_o our_o work_n but_o according_a to_o his_o own_o purpose_n and_o graee_n which_o be_v give_v we_o in_o christ_n jesus_n before_o the_o world_n begin_v and_o this_o also_o be_v plain_o declare_v in_o the_o context_n rome_n 8.30_o who_o he_o do_v predestinate_a they_o he_o also_o call_v and_o who_o he_o call_v they_o he_o also_o justify_v and_o if_o you_o will_v ask_v how_o the_o answer_n be_v according_a to_o his_o purpose_n as_o ver_fw-la 28._o according_a to_o this_o purpose_n he_o call_v they_o and_o according_a to_o this_o purpose_n he_o justify_v they_o so_o that_o thus_o far_o we_o do_v consent_n and_o agree_v 1._o that_o there_o be_v and_o be_v a_o purpose_n in_o god_n from_o all_o eternity_n to_o justify_v his_o elect_n through_o faith_n in_o his_o son_n jesus_n christ_n and_o 2._o that_o all_o that_o be_v justify_v be_v justify_v according_a to_o this_o purpose_n which_o god_n have_v purpose_v in_o himself_o but_o then_o we_o distinguish_v betwixt_o be_v under_o a_o purpose_n of_o grace_n from_o all_o eternity_n to_o be_v justify_v and_o be_v justify_v from_o all_o

be_v or_o ever_o be_v or_o be_v justify_v from_o all_o eternity_n this_o doctrine_n of_o justification_n from_o eternity_n i_o say_v we_o true_o reject_v disown_n and_o deny_v as_o a_o false_a and_o
