be_v not_o produce_v in_o the_o heart_n of_o a_o sinner_n by_o illumination_n and_o persuasion_n only_o may_v be_v prove_v by_o these_o two_o argument_n first_o because_o they_o be_v far_o unable_a to_o do_v it_o for_o corruption_n be_v so_o deep_o fasten_v in_o man_n nature_n and_o such_o be_v his_o death_n in_o sin_n that_o though_o his_o understanding_n be_v enlighten_v and_o his_o affection_n persuade_v yet_o if_o his_o heart_n and_o will_n be_v not_o renew_v and_o change_v and_o quicken_v the_o work_n will_v still_o be_v undo_v to_o persuade_v be_v but_o to_o present_v object_n outward_o and_o these_o be_v look_v upon_o according_a as_o the_o subject_n be_v dispose_v these_o be_v apprehend_v ad_fw-la modum_fw-la recipientis_fw-la as_o the_o party_n stand_v affect_v never_o be_v there_o foul_a love_n nor_o fair_a prison_n sin_n and_o sinful_a lust_n be_v more_o beautiful_a in_o the_o eye_n of_o a_o wicked_a worldling_n and_o be_v more_o suitable_a to_o he_o than_o the_o grace_n and_o glory_n of_o heaven_n though_o set_v forth_o by_o a_o potent_a orator_n and_o the_o wild_a ass_n that_o have_v long_o be_v wont_a to_o the_o range_n of_o the_o hill_n scorn_v the_o populous_a and_o pompous_a city_n illumination_n likewise_o be_v but_o a_o outward_a work_n though_o it_o be_v wrought_v within_o man_n yet_o it_o be_v external_a to_o the_o heart_n of_o man_n it_o be_v from_o without_o and_o as_o i_o may_v say_v forinsecal_a and_o therefore_o can_v much_o confer_v to_o the_o power_n of_o the_o soul_n it_o be_v not_o light_n but_o eyesalve_n that_o must_v help_v the_o faculty_n and_o recover_v the_o sight_n and_o this_o be_v to_o be_v note_v further_o that_o where_o the_o holy_a ghost_n do_v enlighten_v the_o mind_n and_o not_o withal_o correct_v the_o innate_a pravity_n of_o the_o heart_n may_v follow_v and_o sometime_o do_v follow_v the_o sin_n against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n which_o sin_n be_v so_o call_v as_o we_o know_v not_o because_o it_o be_v against_o the_o person_n but_o against_o the_o office_n or_o work_v of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n which_o be_v to_o convince_v and_o to_o illuminate_v and_o the_o devil_n be_v think_v to_o be_v guilty_a of_o this_o kind_n of_o sin_n because_o of_o the_o height_n of_o light_n in_o they_o join_v with_o the_o height_n of_o malice_n second_o suppose_v that_o these_o two_o can_v produce_v true_a faith_n yet_o this_o be_v not_o enough_o to_o make_v good_a what_o we_o be_v often_o teach_v namely_o that_o faith_n be_v not_o of_o ourselves_o but_o it_o be_v the_o gift_n of_o god_n yea_o such_o a_o gift_n as_o be_v wrought_v by_o the_o exceed_a greatness_n of_o his_o power_n even_o that_o power_n that_o raise_v christ_n from_o the_o dead_a for_o what_o be_v do_v shall_v be_v chief_o by_o the_o efficacy_n of_o the_o object_n thorough_o lay_v open_a and_o as_o satan_n on_o the_o one_o hand_n entice_v to_o the_o pleasure_n of_o sin_n so_o shall_v the_o spirit_n of_o god_n on_o the_o other_o proffer_n holiness_n and_o heaven_n and_o promise_n and_o excite_v and_o invite_v and_o commend_v but_o the_o will_n when_o it_o come_v to_o must_v cast_v the_o scale_n and_o like_o a_o impartial_a judge_n no_o way_n bend_v or_o make_v beforehand_o give_v sentence_n and_o determine_v what_o be_v to_o be_v do_v and_o what_o must_v be_v follow_v and_o thus_o shall_v faith_n be_v produce_v by_o man_n himself_o and_o not_o be_v as_o it_o be_v call_v god_n gift_n and_o whereas_o he_o say_v that_o god_n do_v work_n faith_n by_o the_o cooperation_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n it_o be_v to_o be_v note_v that_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n in_o work_a faith_n if_o it_o be_v mean_v of_o the_o first_o production_n of_o it_o be_v not_o say_v in_o sound_a divinity_n to_o cooperate_v with_o man_n as_o if_o man_n do_v cowork_n with_o god_n for_o what_o be_v do_v be_v the_o sole_a work_n of_o god_n grace_n and_o power_n as_o lazarus_n be_v dead_a can_v do_v nothing_o can_v not_o cooperate_v to_o raise_v himself_o to_o life_n but_o be_v by_o divine_a power_n quicken_v he_o can_v then_o eat_v and_o walk_v and_o speak_v so_o man_n be_v dead_a in_o sin_n have_v no_o free_a will_n to_o good_a to_o faith_n or_o conversion_n but_o have_v receive_v grace_n as_o a_o principle_n of_o spiritual_a life_n he_o can_v then_o walk_v in_o the_o spirit_n and_o serve_v god_n in_o a_o spiritual_a manner_n qu._n 208._o can_v any_o man_n hear_v of_o himself_o a._o 20.12_o 10.17_o no_o as_o the_o ability_n to_o hear_v the_o gospel_n outward_o be_v of_o god_n gift_n so_o the_o word_n outward_o hear_v bring_v to_o man_n by_o the_o gift_n of_o god_n power_n of_o more_o inward_a hear_n and_o attention_n this_o question_n and_o answer_n what_o man_n can_v do_v and_o what_o power_n he_o have_v or_o have_v not_o in_o order_n to_o life_n eternal_a do_v of_o right_o appertain_v in_o divinity_n to_o the_o place_n or_o head_n of_o freewill_n yet_o whereas_o he_o say_v here_o no_o man_n can_v hear_v outward_o of_o himself_o but_o it_o be_v god_n gift_n it_o may_v admit_v a_o twofold_a sense_n the_o first_o be_v this_o no_o man_n can_v come_v to_o hear_v the_o gospel_n outward_o unless_o god_n of_o his_o grace_n be_v please_v to_o send_v it_o to_o he_o and_o this_o shall_v be_v his_o meaning_n by_o one_o of_o his_o text_n which_o he_o quote_v rom._n 10._o faith_n come_v by_o hear_v and_o hear_v by_o the_o word_n of_o god_n which_o word_n signify_v thus_o much_o if_o at_o least_o the_o apostle_n may_v explain_v himself_o man_n can_v believe_v in_o he_o of_o who_o they_o never_o hear_v neither_o can_v they_o hear_v but_o by_o the_o word_n of_o god_n that_o be_v by_o mandate_n or_o commission_n from_o god_n to_o some_o or_o other_o for_o to_o go_v and_o preach_v to_o they_o but_o this_o be_v not_o his_o meaning_n for_o he_o be_v give_v the_o reason_n why_o faith_n be_v not_o wrought_v in_o all_o those_o that_o have_v the_o gospel_n which_o be_v this_o because_o they_o do_v not_o hear_v and_o learn_v but_o stop_v their_o ear_n and_o refuse_v god_n gift_n the_o second_o sense_n therefore_o be_v this_o that_o any_o man_n be_v able_a outward_o to_o hear_v the_o gospel_n be_v the_o gift_n of_o god_n by_o nature_n in_o who_o we_o live_v and_o move_v and_o be_v this_o i_o think_v he_o mean_v but_o first_o this_o be_v not_o prove_v by_o his_o text_n out_o of_o the_o proverb_n the_o hear_a ear_n and_o the_o see_a eye_n the_o lord_n have_v make_v even_o both_o of_o they_o for_o as_o god_n do_v frame_v the_o earth_n and_o yet_o the_o earth_n do_v bring_v forth_o fruit_n of_o herself_o the_o blade_n the_o ear_n and_o the_o corn_n mark_n 4.28_o so_o may_v man_n hear_v the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o see_v the_o moon_n and_o star_n of_o himself_o though_o god_n do_v frame_v both_o the_o hear_a ear_n and_o the_o see_a eye_n and_o second_o the_o pretend_a orthodox_n who_o be_v think_v by_o some_o too_o much_o to_o deny_v freewill_n do_v never_o yet_o deny_v that_o man_n have_v freewill_n to_o natural_a and_o moral_a action_n and_o religious_a too_o though_o not_o in_o a_o spiritual_a manner_n until_o he_o be_v regenerate_v therefore_o to_o say_v as_o here_o he_o do_v that_o man_n have_v not_o ability_n of_o himself_o to_o hear_v outward_o be_v a_o note_n beneath_o gamut_n and_o a_o great_a deal_n more_o than_o needs_o whatsoever_o the_o matter_n be_v that_o he_o stoop_v so_o low_a but_o see_v he_o go_v so_o far_o in_o deny_v freewill_n i_o hope_v he_o will_v never_o be_v so_o fierce_a as_o some_o have_v be_v before_o he_o who_o for_o the_o semi-pelagian_n object_v to_o they_o have_v return_v roundly_o the_o sesqui-manichean_a with_o somewhat_o more_o rage_n than_o reason_n the_o manichaean_n do_v indeed_o deny_v freewill_n but_o how_o quoad_fw-la naturam_fw-la sive_fw-la radicem_fw-la liberi_fw-la arbitrii_fw-la according_a to_o the_o very_a nature_n of_o it_o or_o free_a choice_n which_o be_v essential_a to_o man_n 2._o to_o evil_n 3._o before_o the_o fall_n this_o be_v the_o manichean_a whereas_o the_o pelagian_a affirm_v vires_fw-la liberi_fw-la arbitrii_fw-la the_o power_n or_o strength_n of_o man_n will_n to_o good_a after_o the_o fall_n and_o who_o they_o be_v that_o claim_n kindred_n more_o or_o less_o to_o each_o of_o these_o be_v a_o easy_a matter_n to_o judge_v and_o determine_v but_o three_o overmuch_o courtesy_n and_o condescension_n do_v always_o give_v some_o cause_n of_o suspicion_n yet_o i_o proceed_v no_o further_o than_o to_o suspicion_n or_o conjecture_v he_o who_o can_v upon_o quit_v the_o point_n of_o freewill_n gain_n in_o exchange_n the_o point_n of_o universal_a grace_n may_v think_v himself_o no_o loose_a have_v find_v out_o a_o way_n to_o
