where_o none_o be_v refuse_v this_o may_v suffice_v for_o our_o desence_n in_o this_o matter_n that_o cerberus_n do_v now_o charge_v we_o withal_o but_o because_o he_o say_v that_o this_o our_o conclusion_n be_v the_o sequel_n of_o a_o proposition_n that_o we_o affirm_v that_o be_v that_o god_n predestination_n cause_v all_o sin_n and_o wickedness_n i_o must_v take_v some_o what_o more_o pain_n in_o the_o defence_n of_o that_o which_o we_o have_v write_v first_o i_o must_v say_v that_o cerberus_n have_v belie_v we_o for_o we_o say_v not_o that_o god_n predestination_n do_v cause_v any_o sin_n then_o i_o must_v also_o deny_v and_o have_v already_o prove_v that_o adam_n fall_n be_v not_o the_o original_n of_o sin_n three_o we_o deny_v that_o the_o original_n of_o sin_n come_v of_o god_n wherefore_o the_o conclusion_n that_o cerberus_n make_v be_v not_o against_o us._n but_o cerberus_n have_v find_v one_o sentence_n of_o we_o so_o open_a and_o manifest_a that_o it_o may_v serve_v as_o well_o as_o a_o thousand_o it_o be_v in_o the_o latter_a end_n of_o the_o forename_a english_a book_n translate_v out_o of_o french_a upon_o the_o word_n of_o paul_n rom._n 9_o c._n he_o

but_o for_o haste_n to_o come_v to_o a_o end_n he_o will_v not_o stand_v to_o prove_v this_o although_o he_o may_v easy_o do_v it_o as_o he_o say_v but_o touch_v the_o two_o opinion_n one_o that_o actual_a sin_n or_o incredulity_n the_o other_o that_o original_a sin_n be_v the_o cause_n of_o god_n hatred_n towards_o man_n this_o fellow_n say_v cerberus_n take_v occasion_n upon_o the_o example_n of_o esau_n to_o exclude_v all_o that_o be_v in_o man_n etc._n etc._n a_o little_a help_n will_v make_v this_o man_n of_o one_o mind_n with_o origine_fw-la who_o write_v upon_o this_o part_n of_o paul_n epistle_n to_o the_o rom._n and_o these_o verse_n word_n jacob_n have_v i_o love_v but_o esau_n i_o have_v hate_v say_v that_o jacobs_n soul_n be_v yet_o without_o a_o body_n do_v purge_v itself_o and_o when_o god_n see_v the_o pureness_n of_o it_o he_o take_v it_o and_o put_v it_o into_o that_o body_n wherein_o jacob_n be_v bear_v and_o esau_n his_o soul_n which_o have_v not_o cleanse_v itself_o he_o put_v into_o a_o body_n make_v out_o of_o the_o same_o lump_n but_o not_o to_o honour_v as_o the_o other_o be_v because_o the_o soul_n of_o esan_n be_v not_o worthy_a of_o such_o a_o body_n so_o he_o love_v jacob_n as_o origine_fw-la think_v because_o jacobs_n soul_n have_v cleanse_v itself_o before_o it_o come_v into_o y_fw-es ●_o body_n &_o he_o hate_v esay_n because_o his_o soul_n have_v not_o cleanse_v itself_o if_o a_o man_n shall_v ask_v this_o question_n of_o cerberus_n why_o do_v god_n love_n jacob_n and_o hate_n esau_n what_o can_v he_o answer_v if_o he_o will_v not_o say_v quia_fw-la voluit_fw-la because_o he_o will_v if_o he_o will_v say_v that_o god_n respect_v the_o actual_a righteousness_n and_o sin_n that_o be_v in_o they_o then_o shall_v he_o be_v find_v to_o join_v with_o origine_fw-la if_o he_o shall_v say_v that_o he_o respect_v original_a sin_n in_o esau_n and_o do_v therefore_o hate_v he_o then_o may_v it_o be_v ask_v why_o he_o do_v not_o hate_n jacob_n for_o the_o same_o for_o both_o be_v defile_v therw_o to_o alike_o but_o if_o cerberus_n will_v say_v that_o god_n have_v respect_n to_o y_z e_z work_n that_o they_o shall_v do_v in_o the_o time_n of_o their_o life_n then_o do_v he_o join_v with_o the_o papist_n and_o that_o he_o will_v not_o seem_v to_o do_v his_o best_a way_n therefore_o be_v to_o join_a with_o we_o and_o say_v that_o god_n love_v jacob_n and_o hate_v esau_n because_o it_o please_v he_o so_o to_o do_v and_o if_o any_o man_n shall_v stand_v up_o to_o dispute_v the_o matter_n any_o

by_o steal_v from_o he_o his_o ring_n his_o chain_n or_o some_o great_a jewel_n they_o do_v he_o not_o love_v any_o other_o man_n but_o he_o which_o have_v well_o deserve_v his_o love_n by_o give_v to_o he_o a_o ring_n a_o chain_n or_o some_o great_a treasure_n as_o though_o he_o shall_v say_v because_o justice_n work_v on_o the_o one_o side_n therefore_o mercy_n have_v nothing_o to_o do_v on_o

to_o man_n merit_n yea_o all_o the_o scripture_n teach_v we_o that_o god_n never_o hate_v or_o punish_v man_n without_o his_o own_o deserve_v for_o as_o the_o wise_a man_n say_v et_fw-la cum_fw-la

that_o the_o lord_n thy_o god_n have_v cast_v they_o out_o before_o thou_o say_v for_o my_o righteousness_n 9_o the_o lord_n have_v bring_v i_o in_o to_o possess_v this_o land_n nay_o but_o for_o the_o wickedness_n of_o those_o nation_n the_o lord_n do_v cast_v they_o out_o before_o thou_o so_o plain_o speak_v the_o holy_a ghost_n here_o that_o thou_o may_v easy_o perceyve_v how_o gross_a and_o vain_a their_o say_n be_v which_o affirm_v that_o if_o god_n hate_v a_o evil_a man_n for_o his_o own_o evil_a deserve_n then_o must_v it_o needs_o follow_v that_o he_o love_v a_o good_a man_n for_o his_o own_o well_o deserve_v for_o the_o hatred_n of_o god_n and_o everlasting_a damnation_n be_v just_a reward_n of_o man_n evil_a deserve_n but_o the_o love_n of_o god_n and_o everlasting_a life_n be_v free_a gift_n 6._o of_o god_n for_o christ_n sake_n without_o any_o part_n of_o man_n own_o deserve_v take_v therefore_o this_o say_n of_o they_o no_o sin_n neither_o original_a nor_o

he_o use_v two_o reason_n one_o be_v that_o the_o eternal_a purpose_n of_o god_n spring_v out_o of_o his_o free_a mercy_n in_o christ_n wherefore_o that_o free_a mercy_n can_v be_v inferior_a to_o

to_o hold_v that_o with_o god_n there_o be_v time_n past_a and_o time_n to_o come_v and_o that_o any_o of_o the_o essential_a property_n of_o god_n do_v spring_n out_o of_o other_o in_o time_n as_o
