now_o although_o the_o scripture_n be_v plain_a and_o reason_n tell_v thou_o that_o if_o it_o be_v possible_a for_o thou_o to_o be_v save_v and_o yet_o to_o keep_v one_o lust_n or_o that_o another_o

to_o thy_o lust_n do_v blind_v thou_o so_o that_o thou_o will_v see_v or_o hear_v nothing_o to_o the_o prejudice_n of_o it_o thou_o be_v like_o the_o deaf_a adder_n that_o stop_v his_o ear_n and_o

will_v this_o be_v a_o good_a plea_n it_o be_v observable_a that_o two_o evangelist_n quote_v that_o passage_n in_o isaiah_n chap._n 6.9_o the_o one_o say_v joh._n 12.40_o they_o can_v not_o because_o

they_o have_v close_v etc._n etc._n so_o that_o lay_v both_o together_o it_o be_v plain_a that_o sometime_o man_n can_v because_v they_o will_v not_o sometime_o again_o they_o can_v because_o god_n

the_o creature_n i_o shall_v add_v a_o few_o thing_n to_o show_v you_o what_o kind_n of_o freedom_n it_o suppose_v in_o the_o wil._n it_o suppose_v that_o the_o lord_n leave_v the_o will_v free_v i_o mean_v the_o will_n of_o the_o natural_a man_n i.e._n he_o do_v not_o determine_v or_o incline_v they_o to_o evil_n but_o leave_v they_o to_o their_o own_o choice_n whether_o it_o be_v of_o good_a or_o evil_n of_o life_n or_o death_n light_n or_o darkness_n if_o he_o shall_v move_v they_o to_o evil_a that_o can_v not_o be_v true_a of_o the_o apostle_n james_n 1.13_o god_n tempt_v no_o man_n to_o evil_n therefore_o the_o lord_n tell_v israel_n that_o he_o have_v set_v life_n and_o death_n before_o they_o that_o they_o may_v choose_v one_o and_o the_o reason_n why_o man_n do_v not_o choose_v life_n when_o it_o be_v set_v before_o they_o rather_o than_o death_n be_v not_o because_o the_o will_n be_v not_o free_a but_o because_o it_o be_v corrupt_v and_o deprave_v for_o without_o controversy_n the_o will_n be_v so_o far_o free_a that_o what_o ever_o a_o man_n will_n or_o choose_v he_o do_v it_o free_o the_o will_n can_v be_v force_v but_o let_v i_o not_o be_v mistake_v here_o as_o if_o i_o be_v plead_v for_o that_o which_o some_o do_v make_v to_o be_v the_o liberty_n of_o the_o wil._n they_o will_v have_v the_o will_n of_o man_n to_o be_v free_a from_o corruption_n and_o void_a of_o enmity_n to_o god_n and_o his_o way_n and_o to_o stand_v indifferent_a betwixt_o good_a and_o evil_n now_o i_o do_v not_o say_v that_o the_o will_n of_o man_n be_v not_o corrupt_v but_o i_o say_v that_o the_o will_n have_v a_o essential_a freedom_n and_o this_o may_v very_o well_o be_v for_o it_o may_v be_v more_o prone_a to_o evil_a then_o to_o good_a through_o corruption_n and_o yet_o lose_v none_o of_o its_o essential_a liberty_n consider_v therefore_o the_o freedom_n of_o the_o will_n do_v not_o consist_v in_o a_o indifferency_n to_o good_a or_o evil_n as_o some_o will_v have_v it_o who_o place_n the_o will_n of_o man_n naturally_n betwixt_o these_o two_o without_o any_o inclination_n to_o one_o more_o than_o to_o another_o and_o indeed_o they_o who_o lie_v the_o whole_a weight_n of_o salvation_n upon_o the_o will_n of_o the_o creature_n must_v prove_v this_o or_o they_o prove_v nothing_o for_o if_o man_n salvation_n do_v depend_v whole_o upon_o his_o will_n as_o to_o the_o perfect_a of_o it_o and_o that_o will_v be_v bias_v by_o natural_a corruption_n there_o be_v great_a and_o eminent_a danger_n of_o such_o a_o man_n miscarry_v but_o although_o the_o will_v be_v leave_v free_a and_o not_o determine_v to_o evil_a by_o the_o lord_n yet_o i_o shall_v show_v you_o that_o there_o be_v no_o such_o freedom_n of_o will_n as_o many_o man_n dream_v of_o viz._n never_o any_o man_n do_v stand_v equal_o poise_v betwixt_o good_a and_o evil_n first_o dem._n adam_n in_o the_o state_n of_o innocency_n have_v freedom_n of_o will_n if_o ever_o any_o have_v it_o yet_o he_o do_v not_o stand_v thus_o at_o a_o indifferency_n betwixt_o good_a or_o evil_n but_o with_o the_o liberty_n of_o his_o will_n he_o have_v a_o holy_a inclination_n to_o good_a he_o

if_o the_o freedom_n of_o the_o will_n do_v consist_v in_o a_o indifferency_n to_o good_a or_o evil_n than_o it_o must_v follow_v either_o that_o adam_n have_v not_o a_o free_a will_n or_o that_o adam_n have_v not_o the_o image_n of_o god_n for_o such_o a_o indifferency_n to_o good_a or_o evil_n can_v not_o consist_v with_o the_o image_n of_o god_n for_o wherein_o be_v he_o like_v to_o god_n
