A91862	ʼIgeret HaMaskil Iggeret hammashkil. Or, An admonitory epistle unto Mr Rich. Baxter, and Mr Tho. Hotchkiss, about their applications (or mis-applications rather) of several texts of Scripture (tending cheifly) to prove that the afflictions of the godly are proper punishments. Unto which are prefixed two dissertations; the one against Mr. Baxter's dangerous problems and positions, about the immanent acts of Gods knowledge and will, as if any of those could be said (without blasphemy) to begin in God, in time, and not to be eternal as himself is: or, as if God could be said (without derogation to His infinite perfections) to begin to know and will in time, any thing which He did not know and will before, yea from all eternity: the other, both against Mr. Baxter and Mr. Hotchkiss, about their definition of pardon and remission of sins, in opposition to great Doctor Twisse's definition of pardon, as it is in God from all eternity towards his elect in Christ. / By William Robertson, Mr. of Arts from the University of Edenburgh.

of_o all_o his_o work_n since_o he_o have_v make_v all_o for_o for_o himself_o then_o methinks_v that_o thereby_o he_o command_v we_o to_o aim_v at_o the_o same_o end_n with_o he_o in_o all_o that_o

i_o profess_v i_o be_v amaze_v at_o the_o mistake_n for_o i_o do_v not_o only_o see_v nothing_o such_o there_o but_o the_o quite_o contrary_a for_o the_o word_n in_o themselves_o be_v these_o 〈◊〉_d

yet_o i_o do_v take_v it_o and_o i_o do_v see_v it_o as_o it_o can_v not_o rational_o otherwise_o be_v but_o quite_o against_o you_o these_o be_v the_o word_n of_o the_o translator_n i_o will_v show_v
