and_o election_n as_o if_o the_o article_n have_v be_v make_v in_o favour_n of_o calvin_n doctrine_n but_o first_o the_o papist_n have_v observe_v two_o reformation_n in_o the_o church_n of_o

of_o the_o article_n viz._n that_o we_o be_v to_o receive_v god_n promise_n in_o such_o wise_a as_o they_o be_v general_o set_v forth_o to_o we_o in_o holy_a scripture_n than_o which_o nothing_o can_v be_v more_o contrary_a to_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o supralapsarian_o which_o restrain_v election_n unto_o life_n to_o few_o particular_n without_o respect_n have_v to_o their_o faith_n in_o

and_o though_o your_o adversary_n tell_v we_o that_o he_o who_o read_v the_o common_a prayer_n book_n with_o a_o unprejudiced_a mind_n can_v choose_v but_o observe_v divers_a passage_n which_o make_v for_o a_o personal_a and_o eternal_a election_n yet_o i_o find_v but_o little_a ground_n for_o the_o affirmation_n the_o promise_n of_o god_n as_o they_o be_v general_o set_v forth_o unto_o we_o in_o

two_o godly_a martyr_n who_o have_v a_o chief_a hand_n in_o the_o great_a work_n of_o this_o reformation_n and_o therefore_o must_v needs_o know_v the_o meaning_n of_o the_o church_n therein_o more_o
