impenitency_n a_o considerable_a time_n before_o they_o die_v seem_v to_o be_v a_o contradiction_n though_o he_o say_v it_o be_v none_o we_o believe_v indeed_o that_o many_o be_v leave_v of_o god_n to_o persist_v in_o impenitency_n till_o they_o die_v but_o then_o they_o be_v none_o of_o those_o for_o who_o christ_n die_v joh._n 6.37_o but_o we_o have_v he_o acknowledge_v pag._n 96._o that_o he_o die_v not_o for_o all_o with_o equal_a intention_n or_o degree_n of_o love_n and_o thereupon_o confess_v that_o they_o that_o be_v save_v have_v more_o abundant_a cause_n to_o bless_v god_n for_o his_o abundant_a mercy_n than_o the_o other_o though_o they_o have_v no_o reason_n to_o complain_v we_o grant_v the_o damn_a have_v no_o cause_n to_o complain_v because_o they_o suffer_v just_o but_o we_o will_v fain_o know_v where_o he_o place_v the_o inequality_n since_o at_o the_o bottom_n of_o the_o same_o page_n he_o tell_v we_o that_o god_n give_v no_o great_a measure_n of_o inward_a grace_n to_o one_o than_o to_o another_o oh_o but_o he_o suit_v providence_n eminent_o and_o be_v this_o all_o the_o difference_n we_o think_v there_o have_v be_v different_a dispensation_n of_o grace_n

93._o he_o tell_v we_o that_o god_n by_o his_o infallible_a persuasion_n of_o love_n and_o grace_n prevail_v infallible_o with_o the_o elect_n and_o be_v not_o the_o effect_n of_o grace_n grace_n

of_o his_o election_n be_v true_a but_o that_o he_o can_v use_v grace_n to_o that_o end_n before_o he_o have_v any_o be_v hard_o to_o understand_v he_o shall_v first_o seek_v for_o grace_n for_o that_o universal_a grace_n he_o speak_v of_o be_v a_o mere_a nonentity_n nor_o do_v our_o doctrine_n of_o reprobation_n as_o he_o charge_v it_o pag._n 99_o make_v the_o effectual_a use_n of_o mean_n absolute_o impossible_a to_o any_o so_o as_o to_o leave_v they_o under_o discouragement_n for_o he_o himself_o tell_v we_o that_o it_o be_v the_o duty_n of_o all_o man_n to_o use_v the_o mean_n and_o yet_o he_o say_v that_o there_o be_v elect_v and_o that_o none_o but_o these_o shall_v be_v save_v and_o we_o say_v the_o other_o be_v the_o reprobate_n and_o if_o all_o be_v to_o use_v mean_n and_o

he_o purchase_v these_o only_a for_o his_o elect_n for_o who_o sake_n he_o die_v the_o scripture_n make_v a_o difference_n between_o his_o be_v head_n of_o the_o church_n eph._n 5.23_o and_o his_o

a_o account_n of_o that_o too_o as_o good_a as_o he_o can_v p._n 100_o where_o outward_a mean_n fail_v god_n supply_v this_o with_o inward_a teach_n and_o some_o other_o secret_a way_n of_o

and_o how_o perverse_o do_v he_o interpret_v christ_n to_o be_v the_o word_n speak_v of_o rom._n 10.8_o which_o be_v evident_a by_o the_o context_n to_o mean_v the_o scripture_n call_v the_o word_n

the_o incarnation_n which_o he_o allow_v to_o christ_n he_o seem_v to_o be_v of_o another_o mind_n pag._n 59_o but_o indeed_o we_o know_v not_o when_o they_o own_o any_o thing_n and_o it_o be_v once_o the_o receive_a doctrine_n of_o the_o quaker_n that_o there_o be_v no_o other_o incarnation_n of_o christ_n but_o only_o as_o he_o dwell_v in_o we_o which_o how_o subversive_a it_o be_v to_o our_o

6._o here_o he_o begin_v with_o a_o good_a confession_n viz._n that_o never_o any_o be_v save_v but_o by_o jesus_n of_o nazareth_n but_o he_o seldom_o speak_v truth_n without_o a_o design_n and_o

how_o shall_v they_o hear_v without_o the_o gospel_n he_o therefore_o anticipate_v it_o and_o answer_n with_o rail_a instead_o of_o reason_n only_o he_o put_v in_o a_o quibble_n and_o think_v he_o have_v tie_v a_o knot_n upon_o we_o that_o be_v indissoluble_a we_o plead_v for_o the_o salvation_n of_o infant_n by_o christ_n and_o why_o may_v not_o he_o with_o as_o good_a reason_n plead_v for_o
