A02914	A short and plaine proofe by the word, and workes off God, that Gods decree is not the cause off anye mans sinne or condemnation And that all men are redeamed by Christ. As also. That no infants are condemned.	Helwys, Thomas, 1550?-1616?	1611 (1611)	STC 13055; ESTC S118308	16,962	30

doubt_v as_o the_o holy_a prophet_n david_n do_v many_o time_n in_o the_o 40._o psalm_n he_o say_v my_o sin_n have_v take_v such_o hold_n upon_o i_o that_z i_o be_o not_o able_a to_o look_v up_o yea_o

thou_o know_v god_n have_v decree_v to_o show_v mercy_n on_o all_o that_o believe_v so_o say_v we_o but_o how_o know_v thou_o that_o god_n have_v decree_v that_o thou_o be_v one_o off_o those_o that_o

this_o whole_a cause_n at_o a_o end_n and_o first_o to_o prove_v that_o the_o first_o promise_n concern_v christ_n be_v general_a to_o all_o it_o be_v evident_a gen_n 3.15_o where_o the_o promise_n off_o christ_n be_v make_v off_o adam_n &_o hevah_n which_o be_v all_o mankind_n &_o in_o who_o be_v all_o mankind_n in_o who_o all_o have_v sin_v &_o for_o the_o take_n away_o off_o the_o

the_o holy_a ghost_n shall_v speak_v more_o plain_o to_o show_v that_o jesus_n christ_n be_v a_o reconsiliation_n for_o the_o faithful_a which_o be_v not_o off_o the_o world_n and_o for_o the_o

be_v dead_a for_o all_o than_o be_v all_o dead_a and_o he_o die_v for_o all_o and_o vers_n 19_o god_n be_v in_o christ_n and_o reconcile_v the_o world_n to_o himself_o not_o impute_v their_o sin_n unto_o they_o and_o 1._o tim_n 2.5.9_o there_o be_v one_o god_n and_o one_o mediator_n between_o god_n and_o man_n the_o man_n christ_n jesus_n who_o give_v himself_o a_o ransom_n for_o all_o man_n thus_o we_o see_v christ_n be_v a_o reconsiliation_n for_o the_o sin_n off_o the_o faithful_a &_o not_o so_o only_o but_o also_o of_o the_o sin_n off_o the_o whole_a world_n &_o that_o all_o be_v
