state_n of_o election_n and_o salvation_n or_o in_o the_o absolute_a state_n of_o reprobation_n and_o damnation_n this_o be_v too_o desperate_a a_o division_n to_o put_v novice_n in_o faith_n upon_o it_o a_o cruel_a rack_n for_o tender_a conscience_n the_o best_a advice_n which_o i_o can_v in_o this_o point_n give_v be_v that_o no_o man_n especial_o no_o novice_n in_o faith_n how_o strong_a a_o

of_o his_o hand_n by_o the_o same_o or_o like_a engine_n the_o judicious_a reader_n be_v to_o take_v further_a notice_n that_o many_o syllogism_n which_o go_v currant_n among_o some_o good_a divine_n
