The
whole
world
is
culpable
before
God
:
All
haue
sinned
,
and
are
wholly
destitute
of
the
glory
of
God
.
The
wages
of
Sinne
is
death

For
how
shall
they
beleeue

him

of
whom
they
haue
not
heard
?
and
how
shall
they
heare
without

You

O

who

thou

that
contestest
with
God
?
Is
it
not
lawfull
for
mee
to
dee
what

O
the

of
the
riches
,
and
of
the
wisedome
,
and
of
the
knowledge
of
God!
how
his
iudgements
are
incomprehensible
,

his
wayes
impossible

?
For
who
is
he
,
that
hath
knowne
the

the
Lord

beene

counseller
?
or
who

For

the
will
of
God
to
saue
those
that
will
beleeue
and
perseuere
in
Faith
,
and
in
the
obedience
of
Faith
,
is
the
whole
and
entire
Decree
of
Election
to
Saluation
,
and
that
there
is
nothing
else
reuealed
in
the
word
of
God
touching
this
Decree
.
I
haue
manifested
thy
Name
to
the
men
which
thou
hast
giuen
me
.
All
they
that
were
ordained
to
life
Euerlasting
,
beleeued
.
Hee
hath
chosen
vs
before
the
foundation
of
the
world
,
to
th'
end
we
should
be
holy
.
the
Election
of
God
to
Eternall
life
is
of
diuers
sorts
,
the
one
generall
and
indefinite
,
the
other
particular
and
definite
.
And
this
latter
againe
either
Incomplete
,
Revocable
,
not
Peremptorie
,
but
conditionall
;
or
compleate
,
irrevocable
,
Peremptorie
,
and
absolute
.
Also
that
Election
to
faith
is
one
,
and
Election
to
Saluation
another
;
so
as
there
may
be
an
Election
to
iustifying
Faith
without
a
peremptorie
Election
to
Saluation
.
Whom
God
hath
predestinated
,
those
he
hath
also
called
;
and
whom
he
hath
called
,
those
he
hath
also
iustified
;
&
whom
he
hath
iustified
,
those
he
hath
also
glorified
.
that
the
good
pleasure
and
purpose
of
God
,
whereof
the
Scriptures
make
mention
in
the
doctrine
of
Election
,
consisteth
not
in
this
,
that
God
hath
chosen
certaine
persons
,
rather
then
others
;
but
in
this
,
that
of
all
possible
conditions
(
among
which
also
are
the
workes
of
the
Law
)
or
out
of
the
number
of
all
things
,
God
hath
chosen
the
acte
of
Faith
,
though
meane
in
it selfe
,
and
the
imperfect
obedience
of
Faith
,
for
the
condition
of
Saluation
,
and
that
of
Grace
he
would
vouchsafe
to
accept
it
for
perfect
obedience
,
and
iudge
it
worthy
to
bee
rewarded
with
euerlasting
life
.
God
hath
called
vs
by
an
holy
calling
,
not
according
to
workes
,
but
according
to
his
owne
purpose
,
and
grace
,
which
was
giuen
to
vs
in
Iesus
Christ
before
all
times
.
That
in
Election
to
Faith
this
condition
is
formerly
required
,
that
a
man
vse
well
the
light
of
Nature
,
and
be
a
good
or
honest
man
,
humble
,
and
disposed
to
eternall
life
;
as
if
Election
did
after
a
sort
depend
on
these
things
.
We
all
heretofore
liued
in
the
lusts
of
the
flesh
,
fulfilling
the
desires
of
the
flesh
,
and
of
our
owne
thoughts
,
and
were
by
nature
children
of
wrath
,
aswell
as
others
.
But
God
who
is
rich
in
mercie
,
through
his
great
loue
,
wherewith
hee
loued
vs
even
at
the
time
,
when
we
were
dead
in
our
trespasses
,
hath
quickened
vs
together
with
Christ
,
by
the
Grace
of
whom
ye
are
saued
;
and
hath
raised
vs
vp
together
,
and
hath
made
vs
sit
together
in
heauenly
places
in
Iesus
Christ
,
to
the
end
he
might
shew
in
the
ages
to
come
the
abundantly
excellent
riches
of
his
Grace
,
by
his
kindnes
towards
vs
in
Iesus
Christ
.
For
yee
are
saued
through
Grace
by
Faith
,
and
that
not
of
your selues
,
it
is
the
gift
of
God
.
Not
by
workes
,
to
the
intent
none
should
glorifie
himselfe
.
That
the
Incomplete
and
not
peremptorie
Election
of
particular
persons
to
Saluation
,
supposeth
a
foresight
of
Faith
,
Connersion
,
Holinesse
,
and
Godlinesse
,
begun
,
or
continued
for
a
time
;
but
that
the
complete
and
peremptorie
Election
supposes
a
fore-sight
of
the
finall
perseuerance
of
Faith
,
Conuersion
,
Holinesse
,
and
Godlinesse
.
And
that
herein
lyeth
that
free
and
Euangelicall
dignitie
,
in
respect
whereof
,
he
which
is
Elect
is
more
worthy
then
he
which
is
not
Elect
:
And
by
consequent
,
that
Faith
and
the
obedience
of
Faith
,
Holinesse
,
Godlinesse
,
and
perseuerance
,
are
not
fruits
or
effects
of
an
vnchangeable
election
to
glory
;
but
conditions
and
causes
,
without
which
no
Election
can
be
made
;
the
which
conditions
or
causes
are
formerly
required
and
foreseene
,
as
if
they
were
already
fulfilled
in
them
that
are
to
be
compleatly
Elected
.
Election
is
not
by
workes
,
but
by
him
which
calleth
.
All
they
which
were
ordained
to
eternall
life
,
belieued
.
He
hath
Elected
vs
in
himselfe
,
to
the
end
,
we
should
be
holy
.
You
haue
not
chosen
me
,
but
I
haue
chosen
you
.
If
it
be
by
grace
,
then
it
it
no
more
by
workes
.
Herein
is
loue
,
not
that
wee
loued
God
,
but
that
hee
loued
vs
,
and
hath
sent
his
Sonne
.
That
euery
Election
to
Saluation
is
not
vnchangeable
,
but
that
some
Elect
notwithstanding
whatsoeuer
decree
of
God
,
may
and
doe
perish
euerlastingly
.
That
the
Elect
cannot
be
seduced
.
That
Christ
looseth
not
those
,
that
are
giuen
vnto
him
of
his
Father
.
That
those
whom
God
hath
Predestinated
,
called
,
iustified
,
those
he
doth
also
glorifie
.
That
during
this
life
,
there
is
no
fruit
,
nor
sense
,
nor
certaintie
of
an
vnchangeable
Election
to
glorie
;
except
is
be
such
,
as
may
be
grounded
on
a
condition
mutable
and
contingent
.
that
their
names
are
written
in
heauen
,
who
shall
bring
in
any
accusation
against
the
Elect
of
God
?
That
God
did
not
of
his
owne
meere
and
iust
will
,
decree
to
leaue
any
one
in
the
fall
of
and
the
common
estate
of
sinne
and
condemnation
,
or
to
passe
by
them
in
the
communication
of
grace
necessary
to
faith
and
conuersion
.
Hee
hath
mercy
,
on
whom
he
will
haue
mercy
,
and
hardeneth
whom
he
will
.
To
you
it
is
giuen
to
know
the
secrets
of
the
kingdome
of
heauen
:
but
to
them
it
is
not
giuen
.
I
thanke
thee
O
Father
,
Lord
of
heauen
and
earth
,
that
thou
hast
hid
those
things
from
the
wise
and
vnderstanding
,
and
hast
reuetled
them
to
little
children
:
It
is
so
O
Father
,
forasmuch
as
such
was
thy
good
pleasure
.
That
the
cause
wherefore
God
sends
the
Gospel
to
one
Nation
rather
then
to
another
,
is
not
onely
and
meerely
the
good
pleasure
of
God
:
but
because
one
Nation
is
better
and
more
worthy
then
another
,
vnto
which
the
Gospel
is
not
communicated
.
Behold
the
heauens
,
and
the
heauen
of
heauens
belong
vnto
the
Lord
thy
God
:
the
earth
also
and
all
that
is
in
it
:
But
the
Lord
hath
taken
pleasure
in
thy
fathers
onely
,
for
to
loue
them
;
and
hath
chosen
their
posteritie
after
them
,
to
wit
,
you
,
from
among
all
people
,
as
appeareth
this
day
.
Woe
vnto
thee
Corazin
,
woe
vnto
thee
Bethsaida
:
For
if
in
Tyre
and
Sidon
those
mightie
workes
had
beene
done
,
which
haue
beene
done
in
the
midst
of
you
,
they
had
long
since
repented
in
sackcloth
and
ashes
.
that
God
the
Father
destined
his
Sonne
to
the
death
of
the
Crosse
,
without
any
certaine
and
definite
purpose
to
saue
any
one
by
name
;
so
as
the
necessity
,
profite
,
and
dignitie
or
worth
of
the
Impetration
made
by
the
death
of
Iesus
Christ
might
bee
safe
,
and
perfit
in
all
parts
,
compleat
,
ful
,
and
entire
,
albeit
the
redemption
thereby
obtained
,
had
never
been
actually
applyed
to
any
one
particular
.
I
lay
downe
my
life
for
my
sheepe
,
and
I
know
them
.
After
that
he
shall
haue
laid
downe
his
life
for
an
oblation
for
sinne
,
he
shall
see
those
of
(
his
)
posteritie
,
he
shall
prolong
his
daies
,
and
the
good
pleasure
of
the
Lord
shall
prosper
in
his
hand
:
that
the
scope
or
end
of
Iesus
Christ
his
death
was
not
effectuallie
to
ratifie
the
new
covenant
of
grace
by
his
bloud
,
but
onely
to
purchase
to
his
father
a
naked
right
,
whereby
he
might
againe
contract
with
men
some
covenant
,
whatsoever
it
should
be
,
whether
of
grace
,
or
of
workes
.
That
Iesus
Christ
was
made
the
pledge
&
mediatour
of
a
more
excellent
,
to
wit
,
the
new
Testament
.
Againe
Heb.
A
testament
is
then
only
of
force
when
the
parties
are
dead
.
that
Iesus
Christ
by
his
satisfaction
,
hath
not
assuredly
merited
for
any
one
Saluation
it selfe
,
and
faith
,
wherby
that
satisfaction
of
Iesus
Christ
might
be
applyed
effectually
to
saluation
:
but
that
he
hath
only
purchased
to
the
Father
a
power
,
or
plenary
will
to
treate
anew
with
men
,
and
to
prescribe
them
new
conditions
,
such
as
he
would
,
the
fulfilling
whereof
was
to
depend
on
mans
free-will
,
and
therefore
that
it
might
haue
come
to
passe
,
that
either
all
men
,
or
none
at
all
should
fulfill
them
.
that
this
new
covenant
of
Grace
,
which
God
the
Father
hath
contracted
with
men
by
the
intervention
of
the
death
of
Iesus
Christ
,
consisteth
not
in
this
,
that
we
are
iustified
before
God
,
and
saved
by
faith
,
in
as
much
as
it
apprehendeth
the
merite
of
Iesus
Christ
:
but
in
this
,
that
the
exaction
of
the
perfect
obedience
of
the
Law
,
being
abolished
,
God
accounteth
faith
it selfe
and
the
imperfect
obedience
of
faith
,
for
a
perfect
obedience
of
the
law
,
and
of
meere
grace
esteemeth
it
worthy
to
be
rewarded
with
eternal
life
.
Being
iustified
freely
by
his
grace
,
by
the
redemption
which
is
in
Iesus
Christ
,
whom
from
all
eternity
God
ordained
for
a
propitiation
by
faith
in
his
bloud
.
that
all
men
are
admitted
into
the
state
of
reconciliation
,
&
to
the
grace
of
the
couenant
,
so
as
not
any
one
is
subiect
to
condemnation
,
or
shall
bee
condemned
for
originall
sinne
,
but
that
all
are
generally
exempted
from
the
guilt
of
the
said
sin
.
that
we
are
by
nature
children
of
wrath
.
Who
vse
the
distinction
of
Impetration
,
&
Application
,
therby
to
instill
into
the
simple
and
ignorant
,
this
opinion
;
that
God
for
his
part
,
would
equally
bestow
vpon
all
men
the
benefits
purchased
by
the
death
of
Iesus
Christ
.
And
whereas
some
rather
then
others
,
are
made
partakers
of
remission
of
sinnes
and
life
everlasting
,
that
this
difference
dependeth
on
their
owne
freewill
,
applying
it selfe
to
that
grace
which
is
offered
indifferently
;
but
that
it
dependeth
not
vpon
any
singular
gift
of
mercy
that
works
effectually
in
them
,
rather
then
in
others
,
for
to
apply
themselues
therevnto
:
that
Iesus
Christ
neither
could
,
neither
ought
,
neither
did
die
for
them
whom
God
loued
before
most
tenderly
,
and
had
elected
to
eternall
life
;
in
as
much
as
such
had
no
need
of
the
death
of
Iesus
Christ
.
Christ
loued
mee
,
and
gaue
himselfe
for
mee
.
shall
bring
in
any
accusation
against
the
elect
of
God
?
It
is
God
which
iustifieth
.
Who
shall
condemne
?
It
is
Christ
which
is
dead
,
I
lay
downe
my
life
for
my
sheepe
.
This
is
my
commandement
,
that
yee
loue
one
another
,
as
I
haue
loued
you
.
None
hath
greater
loue

down

that
spirituall
gifts
were
not
separated
from
the
will
of
man
in
the
spirituall
death
,
since
in
it selfe
was
never
corrupted
,
but
hindered
only
by
darknes
of
the
vnaerstanding
,
and
vnrulinesse
of
the
affections
,
which
hinderances
being
removed
,
the
will
is
able
to
make
vse
of
its
libertie
,
which
to
it
is
naturall
;
that
is
,
it
is
of
it selfe
able
either
to
will

choose
,
or
not
to

choose
any

(

we
all
conversed
once
in
the
lusts
of
the
flesh
,
fulfilling
the
desires
of
the
flesh
,
and
of
our
thoughts
.
that
a
man
not
regenerate
,
is
not
totally
&
properly
in
Sin
,
or
destitute
of
all
power
concerning
spirituall
good
;
but
that
he
can
hunger
and
thirst
after
righteousnesse
and
life
,
and
can
offer
vnto
God
the
sacrifice
of
a
contrite
and
broken
spirit
,
such
as
may
be
acceptable
vnto
him
.
Ye
were
dead
in
your

that
a
corrupt

naturall
man
may
so
well
vse
common
Grace
(
whereby
they
vnderstand
the
light
of
Nature
or
the
gifts
which
remaine
(
in
him
)
after
the

)
that
by
the
good
vsage
thereof
,
he
may
by
degrees
and
little
by
little
obtaine
greater
grace
,
to
wit
,
Evangelicall
and
saving
grace
,
yea
&
salvation
it selfe
:
And
that
by
this
meanes
,
God
for
his
part
sheweth
himselfe
ready
to
reveale
Iesus
Christ
to
all
,
forasmuch
as
he
affordeth
vnto
all
,
sufficiently
and
efficaciously
,
the
meanes
necessary
to
the
Revelation
of
Iesus
Christ
,
and
to
faith
and
repentance
.
Psal.
147.19.20
.
He
declareth
his
words
to
Iacob
,
and
his
statutes
&
ordinances
to
Israell
,
he
hath
not
done
so
to
all
nations
,
and
therefore
they
know
not
his
ordinances
.
In
times
past
God
suffered
all
nations
to
walke
in
their
owne
waies
.
It
was
forbidden
them
by
the
holy
Ghost
to
preach
the
word
in
Asia
;
comming
therefore
to
Mysia
they
assayed
to
goe
into
Bithynia
,
but
the
spirit
permitted
them
not
that
in
the
true
conversion
of
a
man
,
it
cannot
be
,
that
God
should
poure
into
his
will
new
qualities
,
habits
,
or
gifts
:
Therefore
the
faith
,
by
which
we
are
first
converted
,
and
from
which
we
are
named
faithfull
,
is
not
a
qualitie
or
gift
infused
by
God
,
but
only
a
bare
action
of
man
;
And
that
it
cannot
otherwise
be
called
a
gift
,
then
in
regard
alone
of
the
power
which
a
man
hath
to
attaine
therevnto
.
I
will
put
my
law
within
them
,
and
will
write
it
in
their
heart
.
I
will
poure
forth
waters
vpon
him
that
is
a
thirst
,
and
rivers
vpon
the
dry
ground
:
I
will
poure
forth
my
spirit
vpon
thy
posterity
.
The
loue
of
God
is
shedd
in
our
hearts
by
the
holy
spirit
,
which
is
giuen
vnto
vs
.
Convert
me
O
Lord
,
and
I
shall
be
converted
.
that
the
Grace
whereby
we
are
converted
vnto
God
,
is
nothing
else
but
a
sweete
perswasion
;
or
(
as
others
expound
it
)
that
the
most
noble
maner
of
working
in
the
conversion
of
a
man
,
and
the
most
agreeable
to
the
nature
of
man
,
is
that
which
is
effected
by
perswasions
:
And
that
nothing
hinders
,
but
that
the
Grace
which
they
tearme
Moral
(
that
is
to
say
,
which
is
wrought
by
perswasiue
reasons
)
may
make
a
carnall
man
spiritual
;
yea
that
God
makes
the
will
to
consent
no
otherwise
,
saue
only
by
this
kind
of
perswasion
:
and
that
herein
consisteth
the
whole
efficacie
of
the
divine
operation
,
whereby
he
su
mounteth
the
operation
of
Satan
,
inasmuch
as
God
promiseth
eternall
good
,
Satan
onely
temporall
.
I
wil
giue
you
a
new
heart
,
and
will
giue
a
new
spirit
in
the
midst
of
you
:
and
will
take
away
the
heart
of
stone
,
and
will
giue
an
heart
of
flesh
,
&c.
that
in
the
regeneration
of
a
man
,
God
imployeth
not
his
almighty
power
in
such
sort
,
as
that
he
mightily
and
infallibly
benas
the
will
to
belieue
and
to
bee
converted
,
but
that
notwithstanding
all
the
operations
of
Grace
,
which
God
vseth
to
the
conversion
of
man
,
man
may
resist
God
and
the
holy
Spirit
,
even
then
,
when
God
purposeth
and
would
regenerate
him
:
&
that
oftentimes
man
resisteth
in
deed
&
effect
,
so
as
he
vtterly
hindereth
his
owne
regeneration
:
yea
that
it
resteth
in
his
power
to
be
,
or
not
to
be
regenerated
.
That
wee
belieue
according
to
the
efficacie
of
the
power
of
his
might
.
That
God
fulfilleth
in
vs
,
al
the
good
pleasure
of
his
goodnes
,
and
the
worke
of
faith
Mightily
.
That
his
Divine
power
hath
given
vs
all
whatsoever
appertaineth
to
life
and
godlinesse

that
Grace
and
Freewill
are
causes
,
that
worke
each
their
severall
part
,
and
both
concurre
togither
in
the
first
point
of
conversion
:
&
that
Grace
as
a
cause
hath
no
precedence
in
order
before
the
efficiencie
or
motion
of
the
wil
,
that
God
doth
not
effectually
aide
mans
wil
to
be
converted
,
before
the
wil
of
man
mooue
and
determinate
it selfe
.
It
is
neither
of
him
that
willeth
,
nor
of
him
that
runneth
,
but
of
God
who
sheweth
mercy
,
Who
puts
a
difference
betwixt
thee
and
another
?
and
what
hast
thou
,
that
thou
hast
not
received
?
It
is
God
,
which
produceth
in

with
efficacie
both
to
wil

to
performe

according
to
his
good

that
the
persenerance
of
the
truly
faithful
,
is
not
an
effect
of
election
,
or
a
gift
of
God
purchased
by
the
death
of
Iesus
Christ
;
But
that
it
is
a
condition
of
the
new
covenant
,
which
man
before
his
election
and
peremptory
Iustification
ought
to
accomplish
by
his
owne
free
will
.
The
Election
hath
obtained
it
,
and
the
rest
are
hardened
.
He
which
spared
not
his
own
Son
,
but
delivered
him
vp
for
vs
all
,
how
shall
he
not
giue
vs
also
all
things
with
him
?
Who
will
bring
in
any
accusation
against
the
elect
of
God
?
It
is
God
that
●●stifies
,
who
shall
condemne
?
It
is
Christ
that
is
dead
,
and
that
more
is
,
which
is
raised
againe
,
who
also
is
at
the
right
hand
of
God
,
and
who
himselfe
maketh
request
for
vs
.
Who
shall
separate
vs
from
the
loue
of
Christ
?
Shall
oppression
,
or
anguish
,
or
persecution
,
or
famine
,
〈◊〉
nakednesse
,
or
perill
,
or
sword
?
Nay
,
in
al
these
things
we
are
more
then
conquerours
by
him
that
hath
loved
vs
,
&c.
that
God
indeed
provides
the
faithful
man
of
sufficient
strength
to
persevere
,
and
that
he
is
ready
to
preserue
it
in
him
,
if
he
doth
his
duety
:
Neverthelesse
that
all
things
being
put
which
are
necessary
for
perseverance
in
faith
,
and
the
which
God
will
imploy
for
the
preservation
of
it
;
It
stil
dependeth
on
the
freedome
of
mans
will
to
persevere
or
not
to
persevere
.
That
God
also
will
establish
vs
even
vntill
the
end
,
that
we
may
bee
vnblameable
in
the
day
of
our
Lord
Iesus
Christ
.
that
the
truly
faithful
&
regenerat
,
not
only
may
fall
wholly
&
finally
from
iustifying
faith
,
&
from
grace
&
salvation
,
but
that
oftentimes
they
doe
indeed
fall
,
&
perish
everlastingly
.
If
Christ
dyed
for
vs
then
when
we
were
but
sinners
,
much
rather
then
,
being
now
iustified
in
his
blood
,
shall
we
be
saved
from
the
wrath
by
him
:
Whosoever
is
borne
of
God
doth
no
sin
,
For
the
seed
of
Him
,
remaineth
in
him
,
and
he
cannot
sin
,
because
he
is
borne
of
God
:
And
I
giue
them
eternal
life
,
&
they
shall
never
perish
:
Also
none
shall
snatch
them
out
of
my
hand
;
my
Father
,
who
hath
given
them
vnto
me
,
is
greater
then
all
,
&
no
man
is
able
to
snatch
them
out
of
the
hands
of
my
Father
.
That
the
truely
faithfull
and
regenerate
may
sin
the
sin
vnto
death
,
that
is
to
say
,
the
sin
against
the
holy
Ghost
.
We
know
that
whosoever
is
borne
of
God
sinneth
not
,
But
he
that
is
borne
of
God
keepeth
himselfe
,
and
the
Evill
one
toucheth
him
not
.
that
in
this
life
one
can
haue
no
certainty
of
perseverance
for
the
time
to
come
,
without
speciall
revelation
.
No
creature
shall
be
able
to
separate
vs
from
the
loue
of
God
,
which
hee
hath
shewed
vs
in
Iesus
Christ
our
Lord
He
which
keepeth
his
commandements
,
abideth
in
him
,
and
He
in
him
:
&
hereby
know
we
that
he
abideth
in
vs
,
to
weet
,
by
the
spirit
which
he
hath
given
vnto
vs
.
that
the
doctrine
touching
the
certainety
of
perseverance
&
salvation
is
naturally
&
of
it selfe
a
coushion
of
the
flesh
,
and
hurtfull
to
piety
,
good
manners
,
prayers
,
and
other
holy
exercises
:
but
on
the
contrary
,
that
it
is
a
laudable
thing
to
doubt
.
dearely
beloved
we
are
now
the
children
of
God
,
but
what
wee
shall
bee
doth
not
yet
appeare
:
but
we
know
that
after
that
he
shall
haue
appear'd
,
we
shall
be
like
vnto
him
,
for
we
shall
see
him
as
he
is
.
that
there
is
no
difference
betweene
a
temporall
faith
,
and
that
which
iustifieth
and
saveth
,
saue
onely
in
continuance

and
in
the
verses

,
That
it
is
no

,
that
the
first
regeneration
being
extinct
,
a
man
should
be
borne
againe
the
second

being
borne
a
new
not
of
corruptible

that
Iesus

prayed
no

for
the
infallible
perseverance
of

faithfull

I

thee

that
thou
wouldest
keepe
them
from
