himself_o as_o jeremy_n before_o he_o have_v a_o be_v he_o be_v the_o object_n of_o god_n decree_n but_o not_o god_n mr._n goodw._n this_o be_v the_o thing_n which_o i_o grant_v there_o be_v a_o difference_n some_o kind_n of_o difference_n indeed_o between_o god_n and_o the_o decree_n of_o god_n yet_o real_o and_o substantial_o they_o be_v but_o one_o and_o the_o same_o and_o though_o there_o be_v a_o difference_n herein_o yet_o notwithstanding_o it_o be_v not_o such_o as_o that_o the_o object_n of_o these_o decree_n as_o they_o be_v in_o god_n shall_v be_v capable_a of_o election_n or_o reprobation_n mr_n cranf_n you_o be_v fall_v upon_o a_o question_n which_o i_o confess_v if_o it_o be_v in_o the_o school_n only_o among_o scholar_n it_o may_v perhaps_o deserve_v some_o ventillation_n about_o the_o pre-existency_a of_o thing_n in_o the_o knowledge_n of_o god_n you_o know_v the_o large_a treatise_n write_v upon_o this_o subject_a by_o schoolman_n but_o i_o very_o believe_v that_o if_o you_o argue_v upon_o this_o subject_a till_o to_o morrow_n morning_n the_o people_n will_v not_o be_v able_a to_o understand_v you_o whilst_o you_o dispute_v upon_o these_o metaphysical_a notion_n mr_n goodw._n the_o argument_n which_o i_o have_v urge_v against_o reprobation_n from_o eternity_n i_o conceive_v it_o be_v so_o clear_a and_o obvious_a and_o lie_v so_o near_o the_o understanding_n and_o capacity_n of_o the_o weak_a who_o be_v present_a that_o there_o be_v none_o of_o they_o all_o but_o may_v full_o and_o clear_o apprehend_v it_o namely_o this_o that_o it_o be_v impossible_a there_o shall_v be_v any_o thing_n reprobate_v from_o eternity_n that_o be_v not_o and_o again_o that_o there_o be_v nothing_o from_o eternity_n but_o god_n himself_o mr_n symps_n i_o conceive_v there_o be_v none_o here_o so_o irrational_a but_o can_v easy_o distinguish_v between_o the_o decree_n of_o god_n and_o the_o object_n of_o that_o decree_n you_o be_v to_o prove_v that_o the_o object_n of_o god_n decree_n be_v god_n himself_o m._n goodw._n if_o by_o object_n you_o mean_v any_o thing_n that_o be_v from_o eternity_n i_o have_v prove_v it_o already_o if_o you_o mean_v any_o thing_n else_o it_o be_v not_o to_o the_o point_n i_o be_o to_o prove_v that_o there_o be_v no_o reprobation_n from_o eternity_n now_o if_o there_o be_v no_o object_n from_o eternity_n than_o there_o can_v be_v no_o such_o act_n from_o eternity_n but_o the_o time_n be_v past_a and_o i_o have_v spend_v myself_o and_o fear_v that_o i_o have_v incur_v some_o inconvenience_n in_o my_o health_n yet_o notwithstanding_o i_o have_v be_v free_o willing_a to_o give_v testimony_n to_o the_o truth_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n which_o will_v be_v witness_v at_o the_o great_a day_n of_o his_o appear_v and_o till_o then_o i_o shall_v be_v willing_a to_o lie_v under_o what_o reproach_n either_o you_o or_o whosoever_o else_o shall_v cast_v upon_o i_o i_o have_v stand_v up_o here_o as_o you_o see_v and_o deny_v myself_o many_o way_n in_o the_o thing_n and_o shall_v now_o refer_v both_o my_o cause_n and_o you_o to_o the_o righteous_a judgement_n of_o god_n who_o we_o be_v sure_o can_v be_v deceive_v mr._n cranf_n sir_n you_o be_v please_v to_o signify_v unto_o the_o people_n that_o your_o argument_n lie_v so_o near_o to_o their_o understanding_n that_o there_o be_v none_o here_o present_a but_o be_v capable_a of_o it_o and_o can_v carry_v it_o away_o namely_o that_o there_o can_v be_v no_o decree_n of_o reprobation_n from_o eternity_n because_o there_o be_v no_o object_n of_o reprobation_n only_a god_n himself_o which_o be_v as_o much_o as_o to_o say_v i_o can_v determine_v what_o i_o will_v do_v with_o any_o work_n which_o i_o purpose_v to_o make_v hereafter_o because_o that_o work_n be_v not_o yet_o in_o be_v take_v election_n and_o reprobation_n for_o the_o decree_n of_o god_n how_o he_o will_v dispose_v of_o such_o creature_n when_o they_o shall_v have_v a_o be_v this_o may_v be_v from_o eternity_n though_o the_o creature_n themselves_o have_v not_o then_o a_o actual_a be_v but_o if_o you_o take_v election_n and_o reprobation_n as_o you_o seem_v to_o hint_n for_o the_o execution_n of_o this_o decree_n in_o time_n none_o oppose_v for_o know_v unto_o god_n of_o old_a be_v all_o his_o work_n and_o therefore_o if_o the_o people_n understand_v the_o argument_n they_o understand_v no_o more_o but_o this_o that_o god_n can_v not_o execute_v his_o decree_n but_o in_o time_n m._n goodw._n i_o full_o accord_n and_o close_o with_o you_o in_o this_o and_o desire_v the_o people_n to_o take_v knowledge_n of_o it_o that_o there_o be_v no_o election_n or_o reprobation_n from_o eternity_n but_o decree_n of_o election_n and_o reprobation_n only_o which_o i_o full_o and_o free_o assent_v unto_o and_o be_o of_o the_o same_o judgement_n with_o you_o herein_o i_o say_v there_o be_v no_o reprobation_n of_o person_n from_o eternity_n because_o it_o be_v impossible_a there_o shall_v be_v any_o person_n from_o eternity_n but_o the_o decree_n of_o god_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o god_n himself_o therefore_o to_o deny_v such_o decree_n from_o eternity_n be_v to_o deny_v god_n himself_o but_o this_o be_v that_o which_o i_o deny_v that_o these_o decree_n respect_v person_n personal_o consider_v but_o they_o only_o respect_v species_n of_o man_n as_o for_o example_n the_o decree_n of_o election_n from_o eternity_n be_v that_o whosoever_o believe_v shall_v be_v save_v and_o on_o the_o contrary_a that_o who_o ever_o live_v and_o die_v in_o unbelief_n shall_v be_v condemn_v this_o be_v the_o decree_n of_o reprobation_n and_o this_o be_v that_o which_o i_o say_v that_o there_o be_v no_o other_o decree_n of_o election_n and_o reprobation_n from_o eternity_n but_o only_o this_o and_o so_o i_o have_v do_v mr._n symp._n there_o be_v a_o proposition_n which_o lie_v upon_o you_o to_o prove_v namely_o that_o the_o object_n of_o god_n decree_n and_o his_o decree_n itself_o be_v the_o same_o if_o you_o have_v any_o ability_n therefore_o in_o you_o either_o prove_v it_o because_o you_o make_v it_o such_o a_o invinciable_a argument_n or_o else_o go_v off_o as_o you_o do_v the_o last_o time_n not_o able_a to_o make_v good_a what_o you_o say_v for_o you_o have_v not_o answer_v your_o promise_n which_o be_v to_o prove_v that_o the_o work_n of_o creation_n be_v a_o sufficient_a mean_n to_o hold_v forth_o the_o gospel_n i_o as_o respondent_fw-la shall_v look_v to_o my_o duty_n and_o if_o you_o will_v hear_v i_o i_o shall_v be_v willing_a to_o do_v it_o m._n goodw._n to_o prove_v any_o thing_n to_o they_o that_o be_v incapable_a of_o proof_n i_o be_o not_o able_a to_o do_v it_o i_o be_o i_o confess_v more_o conquer_v with_o your_o weakness_n then_o with_o your_o strength_n m._n powel_n i_o desire_v leave_n to_o speak_v a_o few_o word_n and_o so_o we_o shall_v conclude_v the_o ground_n and_o occasion_n of_o the_o first_o dispute_n with_o master_n goodwin_n it_o be_v some_o difference_n between_o master_n goodwin_n people_n and_o other_o and_o the_o end_n of_o it_o be_v for_o reconciliation_n not_o for_o contention_n when_o we_o come_v together_o the_o first_o question_n be_v concern_v universal_a redemption_n where_o m._n goodwin_n do_v assert_v this_o position_n that_o christ_n do_v die_v intentional_o on_o his_o father_n part_n and_o on_o his_o own_o to_o save_v all_o the_o posterity_n of_o adam_n mr._n goodwin_n be_v oponent_a and_o he_o urge_v this_o argument_n that_o if_o god_n do_v love_v all_o than_o he_o do_v intend_v the_o salvation_n of_o all_o by_o the_o death_n of_o jesus_n christ_n there_o be_v a_o answer_n then_o give_v unto_o that_o scripture_n which_o he_o then_o urge_v 3_o john_n but_o i_o pass_v from_o thence_o and_o come_v to_o the_o second_o disputation_n which_o lie_v upon_o mr._n sympson_n to_o prove_v the_o contrary_a that_o christ_n do_v not_o die_v on_o his_o father_n part_n nor_o on_o his_o own_o part_n for_o the_o salvation_n of_o all_o man_n intentional_o m._n sympson_n urge_v several_a argument_n against_o that_o position_n and_o this_o for_o one_o that_o if_o god_n do_v intend_v the_o salvation_n of_o all_o man_n by_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n than_o he_o do_v intend_v to_o give_v sufficient_a mean_n unto_o all_o man_n for_o their_o salvation_n now_o the_o result_n of_o that_o dispute_n be_v this_o that_o when_o mr._n sympson_n come_v to_o urge_v a_o scripture_n in_o act_n 14._o that_o the_o heathen_a be_v leave_v without_o the_o gospel_n and_o that_o they_o have_v but_o shower_n and_o fruitful_a season_n to_o discover_v a_o god_n unto_o they_o mr._n goodwin_n be_v please_v to_o say_v thus_o that_o he_o will_v undertake_v to_o prove_v that_o such_o shower_n and_o fruitful_a season_n do_v discover_v a_o mediator_n which_o he_o
