A86329 The order of causes. Of [brace] Gods fore-knowledge, election, and predestination. And of mans salvation or damnation. Laid down so clearly, and proved so plainly by the scriptures, that even the meanest capacity amongst rational men may understand it, to their great satisfaction. As also, whether Christ died for all, or not for all: with the causes and effects that may follow or not follow, seriously considered, meekly controverted, and plainly proved by the scriptures of truth; to the great satisfaction of all rational people fearing God. By Henry Haggar, a servant of Christ, and of the congregations of his saints. Haggar, Henry. 1654 (1654) Wing H188; Thomason E735_20; ESTC R206976 22,700 32

wicked_a be_v a_o abomination_n to_o the_o lord_n but_o it_o be_v because_o of_o work_n of_o righteousness_n that_o christ_n himself_o have_v wrought_v for_o we_o in_o his_o own_o person_n and_o do_v

of_o christ_n from_o the_o foundation_n of_o the_o world_n according_a to_o the_o scripture_n which_o if_o well_o consider_v it_o will_v put_v a_o end_n to_o all_o the_o confuse_a and_o distract_a
