terrible_a second_o death_n and_o from_o hence_o appear_v clear_o that_o some_o man_n that_o be_v real_o ransom_v as_o be_v before_o say_v yet_o be_v not_o eternal_o save_v yet_o though_o our_o

how_o gracious_o god_n do_v discover_v to_o we_o the_o extent_n of_o the_o common_a salvation_n and_o of_o the_o strength_n of_o ransom_n and_o redemption_n by_o a_o price_n pay_v by_o his_o couple_v the_o office_n of_o christ_n as_o saviour_n of_o all_o man_n or_o ransom_n of_o all_o in_o one_o text_n together_o where_o it_o be_v say_v i_o exhort_v therefore_o that_o first_o of_o all_o prayer_n

who_o will_v have_v all_o man_n to_o be_v save_v and_o to_o come_v unto_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o truth_n for_o there_o be_v but_o one_o mediator_n between_o god_n and_o man_n the_o man_n

in_o express_v positive_a word_n will_v have_v no_o few_o than_o all_o man_n save_v he_o will_v have_v it_o so_o but_o here_o the_o question_n may_v be_v how_o far_o will_v god_n have_v no_o few_o than_o all_o man_n to_o be_v save_v this_o question_n be_v answer_v by_o god_n himself_o in_o that_o very_a text_n first_o that_o as_o all_o man_n be_v utter_o disable_v by_o adam_n fall_n to_o know_v

be_v the_o truth_n thus_o remove_v the_o impossibility_n that_o come_v in_o by_o adam_n fall_n second_o the_o common_a salvation_n of_o all_o man_n without_o accept_v any_o one_o man_n mention_v in_o 1._o tim._n 2.4_o be_v so_o far_o there_o limit_v in_o its_o kind_n that_o it_o shall_v be_v of_o no_o large_a extent_n for_o the_o benefit_n of_o all_o man_n in_o general_a than_o christ_n office_n of_o a_o ransomer_n will_v afford_v or_o maintain_v thus_o we_o find_v here_o that_o all_o man_n in_o the_o generality_n be_v only_o so_o far_o real_o save_v in_o the_o common_a salvation_n according_a to_o the_o 4_o verse_n as_o his_o office_n of_o a_o ransomer_n by_o a_o price_n pay_v will_v extend_v according_a to_o verse_n 6._o that_o be_v by_o his_o own_o performance_n to_o

to_o all_o man_n make_v know_v be_v by_o any_o man_n thankful_o and_o obedient_o accept_v and_o faithful_o and_o abide_o confide_v in_o will_v give_v those_o man_n possession_n of_o entrance_n into_o
