all_o the_o elect_a though_o die_v before_o ever_o they_o be_v call_v unto_o faith_n and_o repentance_n shall_v notwithstanding_o be_v save_v also_o my_o three_o exception_n be_v against_o the_o

their_o sin_n the_o fill_v up_o the_o measure_n of_o sin_n be_v note_v here_o as_o the_o cause_n of_o their_o damnation_n but_o in_o say_v god_n will_v the_o salvation_n of_o all_o not_o have_v fill_v

this_o foul_a disproportion_n the_o genius_n of_o your_o tenet_n drive_v you_o in_o conscience_n to_o proceed_v and_o profess_v plain_o that_o god_n will_v the_o salvation_n of_o all_o man_n that_o
