take_v power_n unto_o himself_o of_o the_o same_o lump_n 20.21.22_o to_o make_v some_o vessel_n of_o mercy_n other_o vessel_n of_o wrath_n and_o in_o many_o place_n be_v this_o acknowledge_v by_o austin_n and_o no_o more_o be_v require_v to_o this_o then_o to_o show_v mercy_n on_o some_o 1â_n and_o deny_v mercy_n unto_o other_o and_o the_o scripture_n be_v express_v in_o testify_v that_o god_n have_v mercy_n on_o who_o he_o will_v &_o who_o he_o will_v he_o harden_v no_o such_o text_n of_o scripture_n be_v to_o be_v find_v that_o god_n will_v have_v all_o to_o be_v save_v and_o none_o to_o perish_v and_o if_o this_o be_v true_a than_o all_o shall_v be_v save_v or_o his_o will_n alter_v for_o none_o can_v resist_v his_o will_n rom._n 9.19_o and_o austin_n have_v long_o ago_o profess_v 96._o that_o to_o say_v as_o this_o author_n do_v be_v to_o deny_v the_o first_o article_n of_o our_o creed_n concern_v god_n omnipotency_n the_o apostle_n say_v indeed_o that_o god_n will_v all_o to_o be_v save_v and_o come_v to_o the_o knowledge_n of_o his_o truth_n which_o be_v give_v as_o a_o reason_n why_o we_o must_v pray_v for_o all_o even_a for_o king_n and_o such_o as_o be_v in_o authority_n now_o this_o special_a be_v a_o special_a condition_n of_o man_n and_o therefore_o the_o general_a term_n all_o must_v be_v understand_v suitable_o of_o all_o condition_n of_o man_n that_o be_v of_o all_o sort_n some_o like_v as_o peter_n see_v in_o the_o vessel_n let_v down_o unto_o he_o ãâã_d ãâã_d ãâã_d ãâã_d ãâã_d that_o be_v of_o all_o sort_n some_o and_o thus_o omne_fw-la animal_n

enough_o to_o animate_v every_o christian_n to_o pray_v for_o their_o own_o king_n for_o why_o may_v not_o he_o be_v of_o the_o number_n of_o god_n elect_v as_o well_o as_o a_o other_o as_o for_o reprobat_n if_o they_o be_v know_v unto_o we_o we_o shall_v by_o augustine_n advice_n no_o more_o pray_v for_o they_o then_o for_o the_o devil_n themselves_o 24._o si_fw-mi de_fw-fr aliquibus_fw-la
