of_o the_o liberty_n of_o the_o will_n i_o answer_v thus_o to_o the_o first_o i_o answer_v by_o grant_v that_o all_o good_a come_v from_o god_n the_o donor_n but_o some_o of_o those_o good_a thing_n he_o give_v through_o the_o action_n of_o our_o freewill_n and_o other_o he_o give_v clear_o without_o it_o so_o we_o humble_o confess_v our_o merit_n to_o be_v the_o gift_n of_o god_n and_o give_v by_o god_n prevent_v cooperate_a and_o follow_v we_o in_o all_o our_o thought_n word_n and_o action_n but_o this_o do_v not_o at_o all_o follow_v that_o therefore_o our_o freewill_n can_v active_o concur_v to_o make_v a_o merit_n to_o the_o second_o and_o three_o i_o say_v in_o like_a manner_n that_o god_n of_o his_o great_a mercy_n prevent_v our_o freewill_n by_o move_v they_o and_o merciful_o cooperate_v assist_v they_o and_o our_o church_n pray_v prevent_v we_o o_o lord_n in_o all_o our_o action_n etc._n etc._n so_o that_o when_o people_n do_v sin_n god_n almighty_n can_v be_v make_v to_o be_v the_o author_n of_o the_o sin_n or_o error_n and_o when_o we_o read_v the_o text_n you_o urge_v thou_o have_v make_v we_o to_o err_v it_o be_v to_o be_v understand_v thou_o have_v suffer_v we_o so_o to_o do_v or_o that_o thou_o have_v harden_v it_o be_v to_o be_v understand_v thou_o have_v permit_v our_o heart_n to_o be_v harden_v and_o by_o this_o the_o activity_n of_o the_o freewill_n be_v so_o far_o from_o be_v hinder_v or_o deprive_v that_o be_v plain_o imply_v and_o prove_v to_o the_o four_o i_o must_v most_o clear_o acknowledge_v with_o the_o prophet_n that_o the_o way_n of_o a_o man_n be_v not_o in_o himself_o as_o to_o the_o execution_n of_o all_o his_o election_n in_o which_o whether_o he_o will_v or_o no_o he_o may_v be_v many_o way_n hinder_v but_o the_o election_n themselves_o be_v in_o man_n with_o the_o supposition_n of_o divine_a help_n and_o therefore_o man_n will_n be_v say_v to_o be_v free_a not_o of_o his_o action_n but_o action_n which_o consist_v in_o his_o judgement_n and_o his_o determination_n to_o do_v or_o not_o to_o do_v to_o the_o five_o i_o confess_v it_o to_o be_v a_o extravagant_a thing_n for_o a_o man_n to_o rebel_v against_o or_o expostulate_v with_o his_o creator_n as_o for_o any_o thing_n form_v to_o do_v the_o same_o thing_n with_o or_o against_o the_o workman_n that_o form_v it_o or_o a_o instrument_n with_o the_o artificer_n for_o every_o creature_n be_v a_o instrument_n of_o the_o divine_a power_n but_o by_o all_o this_o i_o can_v see_v how_o the_o liberty_n of_o man_n action_n in_o a_o concurrence_n with_o the_o creator_n be_v at_o all_o infringe_v but_o seem_v to_o i_o rather_o confirm_v the_o creator_n make_v the_o creature_n instrumental_o to_o cooperate_v with_o he_o to_o the_o six_o what_o our_o saviour_n there_o advise_v not_o to_o take_v think_v how_o or_o what_o to_o speak_v for_o it_o shall_v be_v give_v in_o the_o same_o hour_n etc._n etc._n be_v only_o to_o take_v away_o all_o

freewill_n be_v mere_o passive_a in_o the_o execution_n of_o divine_a dictate_v it_o be_v to_o be_v understand_v far_o otherwise_o with_o we_o who_o be_v bind_v by_o our_o good_a work_n free_o to_o cooperate_v with_o divine_a grace_n to_o the_o seven_o i_o humble_o conceive_v that_o text_n of_o the_o fall_n of_o sparow_n not_o to_o concern_v the_o matter_n of_o free_a will_n at_o all_o but_o only_o that_o our_o saviour_n will_v have_v we_o clear_o to_o understand_v and_o believe_v how_o all_o thing_n be_v subject_a to_o the_o providence_n of_o god_n to_o the_o eight_o and_o last_o we_o must_v grant_v that_o there_o be_v no_o man_n save_v but_o by_o grace_n not_o by_o his_o work_n exclude_v grace_n because_o work_n signify_v nothing_o without_o grace_n for_o as_o s._n paul_n tell_v

then_o out_o of_o that_o text_n i_o desire_v to_o be_v dissolve_v and_o to_o be_v with_o christ_n nothing_o else_o can_v be_v collect_v then_o that_o the_o apostle_n have_v a_o great_a desire_n to_o

of_o purgatory_n i_o answer_v thus_o to_o the_o first_o to_o what_o you_o allege_v out_o of_o the_o prophet_n jeremy_n i_o answer_v that_o the_o prophet_n jeremy_n do_v not_o speak_v it_o absolute_o of_o all_o the_o dead_a but_o of_o one_o only_a that_o be_v the_o king_n joachas_n who_o die_v in_o captivity_n in_o egypt_n so_o say_v the_o prophet_n weep_v not_o for_o the_o dead_a neither_o bemoan_v he_o but_o weep_v for_o your_o follow_a king_n undoer_n who_o you_o be_v to_o suffer_v great_a tribullation_n to_o the_o second_o i_o grant_v that_o christ_n do_v forbid_v the_o widow_n to_o weep_v for_o her_o son_n but_o it_o be_v because_o he_o be_v immediate_o to_o raise_v he_o from_o the_o dead_a so_o she_o be_v not_o to_o weep_v for_o he_o as_o dead_a but_o to_o be_v comfort_v for_o the_o miraculous_a life_n which_o he_o be_v to_o receive_v i_o must_v profess_v that_o i_o see_v not_o a_o word_n against_o purgatory_n or_o prayer_n for_o the_o dead_a in_o all_o this_o to_o the_o three_o and_o last_o i_o say_v that_o which_o you_o bring_v so_o confident_o out_o of_o s._n paul_n as_o a_o most_o invinsible_a and_o unanswerable_a argument_n give_v i_o leave_v to_o tell_v you_o come_v off_o but_o very_o lame_o for_o you_o for_o the_o word_n of_o the_o text_n do_v sufficient_o clear_v themselves_o that_o you_o sorrow_n not_o for_o those_o that_o sleep_n as_o other_o which_o have_v no_o hope_n so_o we_o agree_v that_o to_o weep_v for_o the_o dead_a out_o of_o any_o despair_n of_o a_o future_a resurrection_n be_v so_o far_o from_o be_v the_o practice_n of_o our_o church_n that_o we_o hold_v it_o to_o be_v a_o sin_n or_o to_o weep_v for_o a_o dead_a friend_n out_o of_o diffidence_n that_o we_o shall_v never_o see_v he_o again_o or_o a_o fear_n that_o we_o have_v for_o ever_o lose_v he_o be_v very_o injunious_a to_o god_n and_o christianity_n but_o when_o we_o weep_v &_o ad●prayers_n to_o our_o tear_n in_o the_o behalf_n of_o our_o dead_a friend_n we_o be_v so_o far_o from_o weep_v as_o those_o without_o hope_n that_o we_o testify_v our_o christian_a confidence_n and_o assurance_n in_o the_o security_n of_o his_o condition_n for_o be_v in_o purgatory_n he_o be_v sure_a of_o salvation_n though_o he_o may_v stay_v some_o time_n for_o it_o to_o pay_v the_o temporal_a punishment_n there_o due_a for_o his_o sin_n here_o that_o there_o be_v a_o three_o place_n which_o we_o call_v purgatory_n and_o that_o the_o prayer_n of_o the_o faithful_a upon_o earth_n be_v very_o helpful_a to_o they_o i_o prove_v thus_o first_o we_o find_v it_o deliver_v at_o large_a

all_o this_o be_v very_o clear_a for_o we_o know_v that_o a_o man_n who_o sin_n mortal_o may_v have_v the_o mortality_n of_o that_o sin_n forgive_v he_o and_o consequent_o be_v free_v from_o the_o

in_o the_o next_o as_o for_o example_n we_o see_v a_o king_n do_v often_o pardon_v a_o offender_n his_o life_n which_o he_o have_v forfeit_v to_o the_o law_n and_o deserve_v to_o loose_v and_o yet_o

i_o have_v something_o else_o to_o say_v to_o this_o point_n so_o must_v not_o insist_v too_o long_o in_o that_o particular_a of_o it_o we_o know_v again_o that_o a_o righteous_a man_n may_v

the_o undeniable_a practice_n of_o the_o church_n in_o pray_v for_o the_o dead_a be_v a_o most_o invincible_a argument_n for_o purgatory_n and_o no_o man_n can_v deny_v but_o that_o custom_n be_v
