first_o i_o prove_v that_o the_o intention_n of_o glorify_v christ_n be_v not_o before_o the_o intention_n of_o creation_n and_o permission_n of_o adam_n fall_n for_o although_o this_o may_v seem_v

according_a to_o this_o very_a rule_n the_o issue_n will_v fall_v more_o foul_a than_o you_o be_v aware_a of_o for_o to_o begin_v with_o the_o creation_n if_o the_o glorify_v of_o christ_n be_v

in_o comparison_n of_o the_o glorify_v of_o christ_n with_o the_o generation_n of_o all_o mankind_n the_o glorify_v of_o christ_n be_v first_o in_o intention_n then_o according_o it_o shall_v be_v

generation_n of_o all_o mankind_n shall_v be_v as_o the_o mean_n tend_v to_o the_o further_a of_o that_o end_n but_o what_o i_o pray_v do_v the_o generation_n of_o a_o little_a child_n of_o i_o tend_v to_o the_o furtherance_n of_o the_o glory_n of_o christ_n wherewith_o he_o be_v crown_v above_o 1500._o year_n ago_o come_v we_o to_o the_o permission_n of_o adam_n fall_n i_o say_v the_o glorify_v of_o christ_n be_v not_o in_o intention_n before_o this_o though_o it_o seem_v never_o so_o plausible_a in_o respect_n of_o congruity_n in_o execution_n for_o by_o reason_n of_o incongruity_n in_o the_o very_a same_o kind_n i_o disprove_v it_o thus_o if_o the_o glorify_v of_o christ_n be_v in_o god_n intention_n before_o the_o permission_n of_o adam_n fall_n then_o much_o more_o be_v it_o before_o the_o permission_n of_o other_o man_n sin_n in_o god_n intention_n but_o this_o be_v most_o untrue_a upon_o the_o very_a same_o ground_n for_o if_o in_o comparison_n between_o the_o glorify_v of_o christ_n and_o the_o permission_n of_o all_o man_n sin_n to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n the_o glorify_v of_o christ_n be_v first_o in_o god_n intention_n then_o shall_v it_o be_v last_o in_o execution_n which_o be_v most_o untrue_a for_o the_o glorify_v of_o christ_n be_v accomplish_v above_o 1500._o year_n ago_o as_o have_v be_v show_v but_o the_o permission_n of_o all_o man_n sin_n to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n be_v not_o yet_o in_o execution_n again_o if_o the_o glorify_v of_o christ_n be_v first_o in_o intention_n then_o shall_v it_o have_v rationem_fw-la finis_fw-la and_o the_o permission_n of_o all_o man_n sin_n to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n shall_v be_v a_o congruous_a mean_n to_o that_o end_n but_o to_o aver_v this_o be_v most_o unreasonable_a for_o what_o
