to_o do_v as_o well_o as_o believe_v be_v true_a but_o god_n command_v every_o man_n to_o keep_v the_o whole_a law_n and_o therefore_o that_o every_o man_n keep_v the_o whole_a law_n be_v true_a every_o man_n be_v bind_v to_o believe_v his_o own_o salvation_n therefore_o it_o be_v true_a every_o man_n shall_v be_v save_v let_v they_o loose_v these_o knot_n by_o one_o and_o the_o same_o

god_n command_v a_o man_n to_o believe_v proposition_n be_v true_a or_o else_o god_n command_v a_o man_n to_o believe_v a_o lie_n and_o condemn_v a_o man_n for_o not_o believe_v a_o lye_n answ._n fie_o upon_o such_o pamphlet_n unworthy_a christian_a eye_n or_o ear_n which_o blind_o and_o blasphemous_o cry_v out_o upon_o god_n as_o a_o liar_n a_o teacher_n of_o lie_n a_o deluder_n and_o

be_v ever_o true_a in_o respect_n of_o god_n intent_n of_o bind_v they_o but_o not_o of_o the_o event_n of_o their_o believe_v object_n why_o do_v god_n command_v man_n to_o believe_v this_o or_o

believe_v a_o lie_n for_o the_o latter_a god_n command_v abraham_n to_o kill_v his_o son_n wherein_o all_o man_n see_v he_o intend_v not_o the_o obedience_n in_o the_o event_n for_o himself_o hinder_v it_o but_o only_o the_o trial_n and_o proof_n of_o abraham_n so_o do_v god_n look_v for_o the_o act_n and_o obedience_n of_o faith_n a_o fruit_n of_o the_o spirit_n from_o the_o reprobate_n destitute_a of_o the_o spirit_n when_o he_o command_v they_o to_o believe_v or_o rather_o intend_v he_o not_o to_o tie_v they_o to_o try_v they_o convince_v they_o &_o make_v they_o just_o damnable_a for_o break_v not_o only_o the_o commandment_n of_o the_o law_n but_o of_o faith_n also_o second_o the_o same_o commandment_n of_o believe_v to_o diverse_a person_n be_v true_a but_o in_o a_o

the_o end_n that_o by_o not_o believe_v he_o shall_v be_v make_v inexcusable_a object_n but_o in_o this_o latter_a sort_n do_v not_o the_o commandment_n of_o god_n plain_o fight_v with_o his_o

propound_v the_o object_n of_o faith_n that_o be_v christ_n and_o his_o merit_n general_o to_o all_o and_o not_o to_o delude_v man_n as_o first_o to_o manifest_v the_o riches_n of_o his_o grace_n who_o will_v have_v none_o to_o perish_v but_o rather_o come_v to_o the_o knowledge_n of_o his_o truth_n second_o to_o glorify_v his_o truth_n set_v it_o in_o the_o light_n as_o the_o sun_n in_o the_o

second_o or_o assumption_n but_o every_o one_o be_v bind_v to_o believe_v his_o own_o election_n and_o redemption_n assumption_n this_o proposition_n be_v to_o be_v understand_v with_o two_o caution_n 1._o a_o man_n be_v bind_v to_o believe_v his_o own_o election_n and_o salvation_n not_o primary_o but_o secondary_o namely_o he_o must_v first_o become_v a_o believer_n a_o member_n of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o a_o penitent_a sinner_n and_o then_o believe_v his_o election_n and_o salvation_n for_o he_o must_v believe_v it_o as_o a_o true_a proposition_n and_o not_o as_o a_o thing_n utter_o false_a 2._o he_o be_v bind_v to_o believe_v his_o own_o redemption_n unless_o himself_o put_v a_o bar_n or_o hindrance_n in_o his_o own_o way_n as_o every_o wicked_a man_n do_v the_o reason_n of_o this_o be_v because_o he_o must_v only_o believe_v his_o own_o salvation_n to_o who_o god_n have_v promise_v it_o for_o what_o be_v it_o to_o believe_v but_o to_o lay_v hold_n upon_o the_o promise_n but_o what_o have_v god_n promise_v to_o any_o wicked_a man_n so_o persist_v all_o the_o threat_n and_o curse_n of_o the_o law_n be_v his_o portion_n again_o the_o promise_n of_o eternal_a life_n be_v make_v first_o to_o christ_n and_o then_o by_o consequent_a to_o all_o that_o believe_v in_o he_o &_o be_v member_n of_o his_o body_n and_o to_o no_o other_o and_o sure_o i_o take_v this_o to_o be_v a_o great_a feeder_n of_o this_o error_n because_o man_n consider_v not_o the_o difference_n between_o the_o commandment_n and_o promise_n of_o god_n the_o former_a being_n more_o general_a than_o this_o latter_a for_o the_o commandment_n be_v to_o all_o believer_n and_o unbeliever_n but_o the_o promise_n be_v only_o to_o believer_n object_n but_o the_o promise_n be_v general_a and_o christ_n be_v proclaim_v and_o preach_v a_o common_a saviour_n to_o all_o man_n answ._n the_o promise_n be_v general_a in_o propound_v it_o as_o be_v meet_v first_o because_o the_o elect_n be_v mingle_v with_o the_o wicked_a and_o second_o because_o hereby_o the_o wicked_a shall_v be_v make_v inexcusable_a see_v they_o can_v plead_v ignorance_n or_o want_n of_o mean_n but_o one_o thing_n be_v universal_a in_o respect_n of_o the_o mean_n another_o in_o respect_n of_o efficacy_n for_o the_o promise_n of_o the_o gospel_n be_v not_o effectual_a to_o all_o person_n but_o to_o all_o sort_n of_o person_n second_o one_o thing_n it_o be_v to_o be_v promiscuous_o expound_v and_o propound_v to_o all_o another_o to_o be_v certain_o receive_v and_o perceive_v of_o several_a believer_n so_o much_o of_o the_o

proposition_n or_o former_a part_n of_o the_o reason_n be_v true_a we_o put_v they_o to_o the_o proof_n of_o the_o assumption_n namely_o that_o every_o particular_a man_n be_v elect_v which_o they_o
