that_o can_v be_v in_o man_n so_o long_o as_o man_n be_v to_o continue_v in_o the_o state_n of_o innocency_n and_o therefore_o he_o do_v but_o beat_v the_o air_n as_o before_o to_o prove_v that_o against_o calvin_n which_o calvin_n never_o mean_v that_o god_n shall_v predestine_v any_o man_n to_o death_n the_o lump_n be_v pure_a for_o reprobation_n and_o the_o state_n of_o innocency_n can_v not_o stand_v together_o as_o he_o create_v man_n to_o everlasting_a happiness_n so_o he_o decree_v not_o that_o man_n shall_v continue_v in_o that_o happiness_n as_o his_o decree_n of_o death_n be_v but_o conditional_a if_o man_n be_v disobedient_a so_o he_o give_v not_o man_n constancy_n to_o persevere_v in_o obedience_n as_o all_o the_o way_n of_o the_o lord_n be_v mercy_n so_o his_o mercy_n belong_v only_o to_o the_o faithful_a but_o he_o give_v not_o to_o all_o the_o gift_n of_o faith_n as_o he_o be_v merciful_a even_o to_o the_o reprobate_n in_o that_o he_o give_v his_o son_n to_o be_v a_o redeemer_n of_o the_o whole_a world_n so_o this_o benefit_n do_v not_o extend_v any_o way_n to_o the_o reprobate_n but_o only_o to_o the_o elect_a he_o give_v he_o to_o be_v a_o sufficient_a redeemer_n of_o the_o whole_a world_n if_o the_o whole_a world_n will_v have_v receive_v he_o but_o he_o be_v a_o effectual_a redeemer_n only_o to_o the_o believer_n he_o offer_v his_o grace_n through_o christ_n to_o all_o man_n even_o to_o the_o reprobate_n but_o he_o seal_v and_o confirm_v it_o only_o to_o the_o elect_a so_o these_o argument_n refute_v not_o calvin_n and_o that_o i_o
