unsearchable_a and_o unconceivable_a judgement_n of_o god_n augustine_n also_o have_v well_o take_v out_o this_o lesson_n who_o consider_v of_o this_o great_a and_o high_a mystery_n and_o the_o strangeness_n of_o it_o why_o god_n draw_v some_o and_o not_o othersome_a why_o he_o give_v perseverance_n to_o some_o and_o not_o to_o other_o why_o he_o choose_v some_o and_o refuse_v other_o he_o do_v not_o reason_v the_o matter_n but_o admire_v and_o say_v o_o altitudo_fw-la and_o this_o sobriety_n of_o judgement_n have_v all_o god_n child_n practise_v in_o all_o age_n neither_o may_v we_o carp_v and_o cavil_n at_o that_o which_o for_o the_o depth_n and_o profoundness_n of_o it_o we_o be_v never_o able_a to_o conceive_v thus_o much_o shall_v suffice_v to_o have_v speak_v of_o the_o general_a doctrine_n and_o of_o the_o use_n thereof_o now_o let_v we_o descend_v to_o a_o more_o particular_a handle_n and_o examine_v of_o the_o text_n and_o to_o speak_v of_o the_o word_n as_o they_o lie_v in_o the_o text_n whereas_o the_o apostle_n say_v god_n have_v not_o appoint_v we_o etc._n etc._n it_o be_v manifest_a that_o there_o be_v a_o number_n of_o man_n in_o the_o decree_n of_o

decree_n of_o god_n by_o which_o upon_o his_o own_o will_v he_o have_v purpose_v to_o refuse_v certain_a man_n for_o the_o manifestation_n of_o his_o justice_n for_o the_o clear_n of_o this_o description_n these_o four_o point_n offer_v themselves_o to_o be_v consider_v first_o the_o object_n or_o matter_n of_o this_o decree_n second_o the_o order_n of_o it_o three_o the_o impulsive_a

be_v disobedient_a unto_o the_o which_o thing_n they_o be_v ever_o ordain_v why_o shall_v we_o then_o be_v squeamish_a or_o afraid_a to_o speak_v with_o the_o scripture_n that_o god_n have_v reject_v some_o man_n and_o purpose_v to_o glorify_v his_o name_n in_o their_o deserve_a condemnation_n the_o order_n of_o this_o decree_n follow_v wherein_o we_o be_v to_o consider_v first_o of_o all_o that_o god_n for_o his_o part_n as_o he_o do_v conceive_v all_o thing_n at_o once_o and_o not_o successive_o one_o thing_n after_o another_o but_o past_a present_a &_o to_o come_v at_o once_o with_o one_o eternal_a and_o immutable_a act_n of_o understanding_n so_o he_o do_v decree_v all_o thing_n at_o once_o and_o not_o successive_o the_o reason_n be_v plain_a because_o all_o thing_n be_v present_a unto_o he_o wherefore_o we_o be_v not_o great_o to_o contend_v about_o the_o order_n there_o be_v no_o difference_n of_o it_o in_o god_n in_o who_o there_o be_v neither_o prius_fw-la nor_o posterius_fw-la yet_o for_o the_o help_a of_o our_o weakness_n in_o this_o high_a mystery_n we_o may_v distinguish_v the_o counsel_n of_o god_n in_o this_o point_n into_o two_o act_n or_o degree_n the_o which_o that_o we_o do_v not_o in_o any_o wise_a misconceive_v this_o ground_n must_v be_v lay_v that_o whatsoever_o god_n have_v decree_v he_o have_v do_v it_o most_o wise_o now_o wisdom_n require_v that_o a_o man_n shall_v think_v first_o of_o the_o end_n &_o then_o of_o the_o mean_n and_o therefore_o determine_v first_o touch_v the_o end_n and_o then_o after_o touch_v the_o mean_n now_o the_o end_n which_o god_n propound_v unto_o himself_o in_o the_o decree_n of_o reprobation_n be_v partly_o the_o manifestation_n of_o his_o wrath_n express_v in_o this_o text_n and_o partly_o of_o his_o power_n and_o justice_n rom._n 9.22_o the_o first_o act_n therefore_o of_o this_o decree_n may_v not_o as_o i_o take_v it_o be_v unfit_o thus_o conceive_v it_o be_v the_o decree_n of_o god_n wherein_o he_o have_v purpose_v to_o pass_v by_o some_o man_n that_o in_o they_o he_o may_v manifest_v his_o wrath_n and_o justice_n this_o act_n be_v call_v by_o schoolman_n the_o privative_a or_o negative_a reprobation_n because_o god_n in_o it_o deni_v to_o give_v grace_n and_o by_o some_o late_a divine_n the_o decree_n of_o preterition_n and_o it_o have_v not_o any_o cause_n out_o of_o god_n in_o the_o creature_n the_o second_o act_n be_v the_o ordain_v of_o the_o creature_n unto_o just_a punishment_n which_o be_v term_v in_o school_n the_o positive_a or_o affirmative_a reprobation_n again_o this_o act_n in_o regard_n of_o the_o object_n have_v a_o double_a consideration_n the_o one_o be_v simple_a as_o it_o respect_v this_o or_o that_o particular_a man_n as_o pharaoh_n saul_n judas_n comparative_a as_o it_o respect_v this_o man_n and_o not_o that_o as_o pharach_n and_o not_o moses_n saul_n and_o not_o david_n judas_n and_o not_o peter_n the_o impulsive_a cause_n of_o the_o privative_a or_o negative_a reprobation_n be_v no_o other_o than_o the_o will_n of_o god_n as_o it_o may_v appear_v roman_n 9.22_o what_o if_o god_n will_v etc._n etc._n and_o in_o the_o same_o chapter_n verse_n 18._o no_o other_o reason_n be_v render_v why_o god_n harden_v the_o heart_n of_o man_n that_o be_v have_v offer_v they_o mean_n of_o mollify_a their_o heart_n and_o have_v put_v into_o their_o mind_n good_a motion_n do_v suffer_v they_o notwithstanding_o to_o abuse_v they_o to_o their_o great_a harden_v and_o hereupon_o in_o his_o just_a judgement_n do_v deliver_v they_o up_o to_o satan_n and_o their_o own_o concupiscence_n as_o unto_o tormentor_n that_o they_o become_v more_o obdurate_a and_o obstinate_a in_o sin_n and_o so_o work_v their_o own_o woe_n and_o in_o fine_a make_v up_o the_o measure_n of_o their_o own_o damnation_n save_v only_o the_o will_n of_o god_n who_o he_o will_v he_o harden_v neither_o be_v there_o any_o other_o reason_n render_v of_o the_o hatred_n of_o esau_n then_o of_o the_o love_n of_o jacob_n likewise_o our_o saviour_n christ_n matth._n 11.25.26_o yield_v no_o reason_n of_o the_o revelation_n of_o the_o gospel_n to_o some_o and_o the_o hide_v from_o other_o save_o the_o good_a pleasure_n of_o god_n even_o so_o o_o father_n because_o it_o please_v thou_o but_o this_o seem_v hard_a unto_o many_o to_o ascribe_v unto_o god_n who_o the_o scripture_n every_o where_o describe_v to_o be_v full_a of_o bounty_n and_o mercy_n and_o slow_a to_o wrath_n such_o a_o decree_n and_o that_o upon_o his_o own_o will_n let_v we_o therefore_o consider_v their_o reason_n first_o they_o hold_v it_o to_o be_v a_o matter_n of_o cruelty_n and_o rigour_n for_o god_n thus_o to_o purpose_v the_o reprobation_n of_o man_n answer_v shall_v it_o be_v no_o cruelty_n in_o man_n who_o be_v but_o a_o petty_a lord_n or_o rather_o a_o tenant_n at_o will_n have_v all_o his_o interest_n and_o title_n unto_o the_o creature_n by_o grant_n
