all_o those_o thing_n that_o be_v and_o in_o much_o as_o he_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o all_o thing_n he_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o his_o own_o wisdom_n neither_o be_v god_n at_o any_o time_n without_o

furthermore_o if_o to_o be_v a_o everlasting_a father_n be_v a_o thing_n that_o be_v in_o god_n and_o that_o he_o have_v not_o at_o any_o time_n not_o be_v a_o father_n then_o have_v he_o never_o be_v without_o a_o son_n whatsoever_o be_v past_a be_v not_o now_o whatsoever_o be_v to_o come_v be_v not_o yet_o therefore_o whatsoever_o be_v past_a or_o to_o come_v be_v want_v but_o with_o god_n there_o be_v nothing_o want_v there_o be_v with_o god_n therefore_o nothing_o past_a or_o to_o come_v but_o all_o present_a these_o say_n of_o austen_n do_v seem_v to_o i_o sufficient_a to_o stay_v a_o man_n in_o that_o mind_n that_o i_o be_o of_o concern_v the_o cause_n of_o god_n election_n and_o reprobation_n his_o will_n and_o purpose_n which_o can_v never_o be_v want_v in_o he_o neither_o

he_o everlasting_a as_o he_o himself_o be_v neither_o may_v it_o be_v think_v that_o there_o be_v ever_o any_o time_n wherein_o he_o have_v not_o elect_v those_o that_o be_v elect_v and_o refuse_v those_o that_o be_v refuse_v but_o we_o hold_v not_o that_o this_o be_v do_v without_o christ_n and_o therefore_o cerberus_n labour_v more_o than_o need_v to_o prove_v by_o scripture_n that_o our_o election_n be_v in_o christ_n for_o we_o account_v christ_n to_o be_v eternal_a as_o his_o father_n be_v and_o his_o incarnation_n to_o be_v always_o present_a with_o god_n and_o therefore_o that_o the_o election_n that_o be_v in_o god_n purpose_n and_o will_n be_v not_o without_o christ_n the_o mercyseate_a and_o mediator_n betwixt_o god_n and_o man_n thus_o much_o for_o the_o first_o of_o cerberus_n his_o two_o reason_n now_o a_o few_o word_n to_o his_o second_o reason_n and_o so_o a_o end_n first_o cerberus_n do_v in_o this_o reason_n flat_o affirm_v that_o god_n do_v not_o love_v the_o world_n nor_o give_v his_o son_n for_o the_o world_n before_o his_o wrath_n be_v appease_v by_o the_o mediation_n of_o his_o son_n whereupon_o it_o follow_v that_o there_o be_v a_o time_n wherein_o god_n be_v wroth_a with_o the_o world_n and_o not_o pacify_v by_o his_o son_n which_o doctrine_n be_v as_o much_o as_o to_o deny_v christ_n to_o be_v a_o mediator_n but_o in_o the_o close_n up_o of_o the_o matter_n he_o overthrow_v that_o again_o affirm_v that_o christ_n have_v pacify_v the_o wrath_n of_o his_o father_n not_o only_o now_o in_o time_n but_o also_o everlasting_o in_o the_o most_o high_a and_o eternal_a purpose_n of_o god_n before_o the_o foundation_n of_o the_o world_n be_v lay_v hitherto_o he_o have_v fight_v against_o we_o but_o now_o in_o the_o conclusion_n he_o join_v with_o we_o call_v the_o purpose_n of_o god_n eternal_a and_o most_o high_a and_o what_o be_v that_o but_o to_o affirm_v all_o that_o we_o teach_v concern_v the_o cause_n of_o election_n and_o

at_o unwares_o i_o think_v cerberus_n have_v confess_v to_o be_v everlasting_a in_o the_o eternal_a and_o most_o high_a purpose_n of_o god_n according_a to_o the_o say_n of_o saint_n john_n in_o the_o
