secret_n will_v never_o intend_v they_o shall_v do_v as_o first_o he_o command_v pharaoh_n to_o let_v israel_n go_v and_o second_o command_v abraham_n to_o offer_v up_o isaac_n and_o do_v not_o intend_v they_o shall_v do_v it_o answer_v and_o to_o the_o first_o that_o be_v god_n do_v command_v pharaoh_n to_o let_v israel_n go_v and_o yet_o do_v not_o intend_v he_o shall_v let_v they_o go_v to_o which_o i_o say_v god_n do_v intend_v that_o pharaoh_n shall_v let_v they_o go_v although_o god_n know_v that_o pharaoh_n at_o the_o first_o will_v not_o let_v they_o go_v but_o god_n before_o knowledge_n that_o man_n will_v do_v evil_a be_v not_o the_o cause_n that_o they_o do_v evil_a god_n know_v that_o cain_n will_v stay_v abel_n yet_o he_o be_v not_o the_o cause_n of_o his_o so_o do_v but_o you_o will_v say_v that_o god_n harden_v pharoahs_n heart_n answ_n so_o he_o may_v just_o do_v as_o i_o shall_v show_v the_o cause_n in_o the_o exposition_n of_o the_o nine_o of_o the_o roman_n if_o the_o lord_n please_v but_o that_o be_v not_o our_o question_n but_o our_o question_n be_v whether_o god_n do_v intend_v pharaoh_n shall_v let_v israel_n go_v we_o argue_v no●_n the_o case_n whether_o he_o shall_v have_v let_v they_o go-soon_a or_o late_a but_o single_o thus_o whether_o pharaoh_n shall_v let_v israel_n go_v the_o which_o i_o do_v affirm_v that_o god_n do_v intend_v that_o pharaoh_n shall_v let_v israel_n go_v and_o the_o lord_n say_v that_o he_o know_v that_o he_o will_v let_v they_o go_v although_o not_o at_o the_o first_o as_o you_o may_v see_v exod._n 3.19_o 20._o and_o if_o pharaoh_n have_v let_v they_o go_v at_o the_o first_o be_v have_v not_o sin_v in_o so_o do_v yet_o it_o please_v god_n to_o show_v to_o moses_n that_o he_o will_v harden_v his_o heart_n be_v use_v he_o have_v harden_v himself_o against_o he_o so_o that_o israel_n must_v not_o expect_v to_o go_v present_o and_o yet_o the_o lord_n show_v moses_n that_o he_o will_v so_o weary_v he_o with_o his_o sign_n that_o he_o will_v make_v he_o willing_a to_o let_v israel_n go_v at_o the_o last_o these_o two_o thing_n observe_v first_o that_o god_n intend_v when_o he_o have_v try_v pharaoh_n by_o his_o sign_n that_o he_o shall_v let_v israel_n go_v god_n do_v not_o harden_v pharoahs_n heart_n on_o purpose_n to_o keep_v israel_n from_o go_v but_o because_o pharaoh_n have_v slit_v the_o lord_n in_o say_v who_o be_v the_o lord_n i_o will_v not_o obey_v his_o voice_n and_o let_v you_o go_v that_o therefore_o the_o lord_n do_v harden_v pharaoh_n when_o first_o pharaoh_n have_v harden_v lord_n the_o scripture_n say_v that_o pharaoh_n harden_v his_o heart_n against_o the_o lord_n himself_o that_o he_o may_v know_v that_o the_o lord_n be_v strong_a than_o he_o i_o may_v spend_v much_o time_n in_o run_v through_o the_o cause_n of_o thing_n but_o of_o that_o anon_o and_o second_o take_v notice_n this_o be_v not_o god_n secret_a will_n namely_o in_o appoint_v pharaoh_n not_o to_o let_v israel_n go_v when_o he_o have_v command_v he_o to_o let_v they_o go_v but_o it_o be_v his_o reveal_v will_n make_v know_v to_o mosis_fw-la and_o aaron_n and_o in_o the_o next_o place_n i_o come_v to_o examine_v the_o matter_n as_o touch_v god_n command_v of_o abraham_n offer_v up_o isaac_n and_o so_o shall_v p●ss_v from_o this_o particular_a to_o the_o second_o argument_n i_o shall_v be_v very_o brief_a say_v that_o in_o a_o sense_n as_o beforesaid_a abraham_n do_v offer_v up_o isaac_n and_o also_o this_o be_v not_o a_o secret_a thing_n because_o the_o scripture_n say_v it_o be_v but_o to_o try_v abraham_n as_o i_o have_v before_o prove_v therefore_o i_o pass_v to_o the_o three_o argument_n the_o second_o you_o grant_v to_o be_v true_a and_o the_o three_o be_v if_o adam_n in_o his_o best_a condition_n as_o he_o stand_v in_o paradise_n before_o the_o fall_n be_v but_o a_o earthly_a man_n adam_n in_o his_o best_a estate_n be_v but_o a_o earthly_a man_n man_n and_o all_o his_o enjoyment_n earthly_a than_o he_o can_v loose_v no_o more_o than_o what_o he_o have_v to_o loose_v which_o be_v but_o earthly_a but_o adam_n in_o his_o best_a condition_n be_v and_o enjoy_v but_o as_o beforesaid_a ergo_fw-la all_o that_o he_o lose_v be_v but_o earthly_a enjoyment_n your_o answer_n seem_v very_o weak_a in_o my_o opinion_n which_o be_v say_v you_o all_o sin_v in_o adam_n to_o condemnation_n or_o damnation_n and_o hence_o insant_n by_o nature_n be_v child_n of_o wrath_n or_o otherwise_o say_v you_o what_o be_v mean_v by_o the_o hebrew_n text_n in_o die_v thou_o shall_v die_v ndifferent_o 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d or_o 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d or_o 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d the_o which_o be_v guilt_n or_o cause_n of_o punishment_n or_o judgement_n the_o which_o may_v be_v take_v for_o the_o first_o or_o second_o death_n as_o the_o scripture_n offer_v it_o unto_o we_o ndifferent_o to_o which_o i_o answer_v and_o first_o to_o the_o first_o which_o be_v all_o sin_v in_o adam_n say_v you_o to_o condemnation_n it_o be_v very_o true_a that_o for_o adam_n sin_n all_o man_n be_v condemn_v for_o say_v god_n dust_n thou_o be_v and_o to_o dust_n thou_o shall_v return_v mean_v not_o only_a adam_n but_o all_o his_o line_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v appoint_v once_o for_o man_n to_o die_v for_o we_o must_v needs_o die_v and_o be_v like_o water_n spill_v upon_o the_o ground_n and_o as_o i_o have_v say_v the_o word_n condemnation_n will_v not_o help_v you_o because_o there_o be_v the_o very_a same_o in_o luke_n 23.40_o and_o yet_o it_o be_v only_o a_o temporal_a death_n and_o so_o i_o be_o come_v to_o the_o next_o thing_n which_o be_v that_o infant_n say_v you_o be_v child_n of_o wrath_n by_o nature_n if_o you_o mean_v they_o be_v child_n of_o wrath_n as_o in_o respect_n to_o outward_a punishment_n we_o differ_v not_o because_o god_n justice_n must_v be_v satisfy_v for_o god_n thereupon_o to_o inflict_v it_o if_o he_o sin_v but_o he_o do_v sin_n therefore_o it_o must_v of_o necessity_n be_v punish_v otherwise_o justice_n not_o satisfy_v because_o there_o be_v no_o repentance_n give_v or_o require_v as_o in_o reference_n to_o that_o sin_n but_o if_o you_o suppose_v that_o infant_n be_v child_n of_o wrath_n as_o in_o respect_n of_o punishment_n to_o the_o second_o death_n we_o much_o differ_v and_o i_o will_v give_v you_o seven_o year_n time_n to_o prove_v it_o in_o which_o time_n prove_v it_o if_o you_o can_v and_o whereas_o you_o ask_v i_o what_o be_v mean_v by_o the_o hebrew_n word_n in_o die_v thou_o shall_v die_v i_o answer_v as_o beforesaid_a that_o so_o soon_o as_o adam_n have_v eat_v he_o be_v in_o a_o die_a condition_n and_o so_o be_v all_o man_n die_v until_o they_o be_v dead_a so_o that_o in_o the_o midst_n of_o life_n we_o be_v in_o death_n continue_v not_o in_o one_o stay_v and_o so_o i_o come_v to_o examime_v what_o you_o say_v to_o my_o five_o argument_n which_o be_v that_o opinion_n which_o in_o the_o extent_n of_o it_o will_v make_v the_o devil_n to_o speak_v true_a and_o god_n to_o lie_v be_v anabsurd_a blasphemous_a opinion_n but_o such_o be_v the_o opinion_n that_o say_v that_o the_o death_n that_o god_n threaten_v to_o adam_n be_v the_o second_o death_n and_o yet_o that_o second_o death_n not_o inflict_v for_o that_o sin_n on_o adam_n and_o all_o his_o line_n so_o he_o say_v god_n speak_v false_o and_o the_o devil_n truth_n ergo_fw-la that_o opinion_n a_o obhor_v &_o blasphemous_a opinion_n but_o the_o minor_a be_v false_a as_o you_o say_v for_o say_v you_o although_o god_n threaten_v adam_n with_o eternal_a death_n yet_o he_o lie_v not_o in_o inflict_v it_o because_o he_o threaten_v be_v to_o dehort_v adam_n from_o sin_n not_o his_o peremptory_a resolution_n but_o as_o to_o hezekiah_n and_o niniveh_n to_o which_o i_o answer_v you_o have_v say_v nothing_o at_o all_o to_o prove_v my_o minor_a false_a for_o as_o i_o have_v say_v that_o god_n do_v say_v that_o if_o adam_n do_v eat_v he_o shall_v die_v and_o that_o eternal_o say_v you_o but_o the_o devil_n say_v that_o he_o shall_v not_o die_v viz_o eternal_o but_o adam_n do_v eat_v now_o if_o adam_n and_o his_o line_n do_v nor_o so_o die_v a●_n god_n say_v they_o shall_v viz_o eternal_o as_o you_o say_v than_o who_o it_o be_v that_o speak_v true_a god_n or_o the_o devil_n i_o leave_v the_o reader_n to_o judge_v god_n say_v they_o shall_v die_v but_o the_o devil_n say_v they_o shall_v not_o sure_o die_v beginning_n all_o man_n do_v die_v the_o first_o death_n or_o shall_v be_v change_v which_o be_v as_o death_n as_o god_n do_v say_v and_o so_o its_o plain_a that_o

we_o shall_v stand_v before_o the_o tribunal_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n 7._o esa_n 55.6_o 7._o we_o shall_v assure_o know_v to_o our_o everlasting_a woe_n and_o misery_n if_o we_o look_v not_o to_o it_o in_o time_n that_o our_o condemnation_n be_v not_o because_o the_o lord_n never_o give_v we_o mean_n of_o grace_n and_o ability_n to_o make_v use_n of_o it_o but_o because_o we_o have_v not_o make_v use_n of_o what_o mean_v of_o grace_n and_o ability_n that_o god_n have_v bestow_v on_o we_o and_o thereby_o our_o mouth_n shall_v be_v stop_v they_o the_o lord_n will_v not_o condemn_v man_n because_o they_o have_v want_v ability_n to_o do_v what_o he_o command_v they_o to_o do_v but_o because_o they_o have_v not_o improve_v their_o ability_n that_o god_n have_v give_v they_o and_o we_o become_v guilty_a before_o god_n therefore_o christian_a reader_n be_v careful_a to_o seek_v the_o lord_n while_o he_o may_v be_v find_v call_v upon_o god_n while_o he_o be_v near_o light_v the_o wicked_a forsake_v his_o way_n and_o the_o unrighteous_a man_n his_o thought_n and_o turn_v unto_o the_o lord_n before_o the_o decree_n pass_v and_o he_o will_v have_v mercy_n on_o you_o and_o to_o our_o god_n for_o he_o be_v abundant_a in_o pardon_n but_o if_o your_o refuse_n and_o rebel_n you_o shall_v be_v destroy_v the_o mouth_n of_o the_o lord_n have_v speak_v it_o and_o have_v show_v when_o the_o soul_n be_v harden_v that_o be_v after_o it_o suffer_v not_o grace_n to_o take_v place_n in_o it_o and_o the_o cause_n why_o it_o be_v thus_o harden_v because_o it_o will_v not_o entertain_v the_o motion_n of_o god_n spirit_n as_o you_o may_v see_v ilb_a 21_o 13._o cant._n 5.2_o 3._o rev._n 3.20_o i_o come_v now_o to_o take_v notice_n of_o the_o reason_n why_o such_o as_o do_v not_o or_o can_v believe_v the_o gospel_n have_v it_o preach_v unto_o they_o and_o that_o be_v say_v you_o because_o they_o may_v believe_v without_o excuse_n answ_n i_o do_v understand_v your_o mind_n in_o it_o which_o be_v that_o although_o god_n in_o his_o secret_n will_v never_o intend_v to_o save_v israel_n or_o any_o that_o be_v lose_v but_o say_v you_o he_o call_v they_o or_o offer_v mean_n to_o they_o that_o there_o by_o they_o may_v be_v without_o excuse_n at_o the_o last_o day_n it_o be_v a_o very_a pretty_a assertion_n as_o though_o a_o man_n shall_v appoint_v his_o servant_n to_o labour_v in_o his_o vineyard_n it_o god_n do_v not_o command_v man_n to_o do_v that_o which_o he_o have_v not_o give_v they_o power_n to_o do_v and_o then_o punish_v they_o for_o not_o do_v of_o it_o and_o yet_o lock_v he_o out_o and_o never_o mean_v that_o he_o shall_v come_v there_o and_o yet_o at_o night_n beat_v his_o servant_n because_o he_o do_v not_o as_o he_o bid_v he_o and_o yet_o his_o servant_n must_v be_v leave_v without_o excuse_n such_o a_o kind_n of_o model_n be_v your_o discourse_n concern_v god_n and_o the_o creature_n that_o be_v god_n command_v man_n to_o labour_n in_o his_o vinyard_n and_o say_v if_o they_o will_v not_o he_o will_v punish_v they_o and_o yet_o never_o mean_v they_o shall_v come_v there_o but_o have_v appoint_v they_o for_o damnation_n before_o they_o be_v bear_v and_o yet_o he_o will_v hare_n the_o creature_n think_v themselves_o in_o a_o fault_n because_o they_o do_v not_o do_v that_o which_o god_n never_o give_v they_o ability_n to_o do_v nor_o never_o mean_v they_o shall_v do_v so_o that_o upon_o your_o account_n god_n command_v man_n upon_o pain_n of_o damnation_n to_o do_v that_o which_o they_o be_v altogether_o unable_a to_o do_v and_o also_o what_o he_o never_o mean_v they_o shall_v do_v but_o happy_o you_o may_v say_v object_n that_o god_n do_v command_v man_n to_o do_v that_o which_o he_o never_o mean_v they_o shall_v do_v for_o he_o command_v abraham_n to_o offer_v up_o isaac_n for_o a_o burn_a offering_n and_o yet_o never_o mean_v he_o shall_v slay_v he_o answ_n this_o be_v not_o to_o your_o purpose_n and_o first_o because_o the_o lord_n do_v declare_v it_o be_v but_o to_o try_v abraham_n the_o case_n be_v not_o we_o in_o this_o our_o contreversie_n for_o if_o it_o be_v say_v that_o god_n do_v command_v man_n to_o repent_v and_o believe_v only_o to_o try_v they_o as_o it_o be_v say_v he_o do_v bid_v abraham_n offer_v his_o son_n up_o to_o try_v he_o than_o there_o be_v some_o colour_n for_o what_o you_o say_v but_o one_o be_v a_o public_a command_n to_o all_o man_n general_o and_o indefinite_o 22.1_o gen._n 22.1_o and_o the_o other_o a_o particular_a command_n to_o one_o person_n and_o that_o to_o try_v he_o as_o say_v the_o spirit_n of_o god_n in_o the_o scripture_n i_o may_v say_v more_o to_o this_o objection_n but_o it_o reach_v not_o our_o case_n for_o as_o we_o say_v although_o a_o general_n include_v or_o comprehend_v particular_n represent_v the_o thing_n represent_v be_v sometime_o call_v by_o the_o name_n of_o the_o thing_n represent_v yet_o every_o particular_a do_v not_o include_v a_o general_a therefore_o this_o instance_n not_o worth_a speak_v to_o and_o yet_o i_o may_v say_v that_o in_o cod_n account_n he_o be_v real_o offer_v up_o in_o a_o burn_a offering_n for_o god_n give_v some_o what_o in_o his_o room_n to_o be_v a_o sacrifice_n when_o he_o see_v abraham_n willingness_n to_o obey_v his_o voice_n and_o it_o may_v be_v as_o well_o call_v isaac_n as_o the_o bread_n and_o wine_n be_v call_v christ_n body_n and_o blood_n because_o god_n sometime_o call_v the_o thing_n that_o represent_v by_o the_o name_n of_o the_o thing_n represent_v but_o the_o lamb_n do_v represent_v isaac_n sacrifice_v and_o so_o may_v bear_v the_o name_n there_o be_v several_a instance_n that_o may_v be_v further_o to_o the_o answer_n of_o this_o but_o as_o i_o study_v brevity_n so_o it_o be_v not_o worth_a my_o pain_n and_o therefore_o i_o pass_v to_o the_o next_o thing_n which_o be_v you_o say_v that_o all_o though_o god_n will_v have_v all_o man_n to_o be_v save_v the_o which_o you_o conclude_v be_v but_o all_o sort_n and_o so_o pass_v only_o with_o a_o small_a glance_n to_o it_o i_o answer_v and_o say_v that_o you_o be_v as_o much_o mistake_v in_o that_o as_o in_o the_o rest_n of_o what_o you_o have_v say_v and_o therefore_o i_o shall_v brief_o prove_v that_o it_o be_v every_o person_n that_o god_n will_v have_v save_v the_o argument_n be_v if_o god_n will_v not_o have_v his_o minister_n preach_v a_o lie_n in_o his_o name_n to_o any_o man_n and_o yet_o must_v preach_v remission_n of_o sin_n and_o god_n love_v to_o all_o man_n through_o christ_n than_o god_n will_v have_v every_o man_n to_o be_v save_v man_n god_n will_v not_o have_v his_o minister_n preach_v a_o lie_n to_o any_o man_n yet_o he_o will_v have_v they_o preach_v love_n and_o remission_n of_o sin_n to_o all_o man_n but_o god_n will_v not_o have_v his_o minister_n preach_v a_o lie_n to_o no_o man_n and_o yet_o must_v preach_v remission_n of_o sin_n and_o god_n love_v to_o every_o man_n through_o christ_n ergo_fw-la god_n will_v have_v every_o man_n to_o be_v save_v to_o prove_v this_o argument_n first_o that_o he_o will_v have_v his_o minister_n preach_v truth_n and_o not_o a_o lie_n i_o suppose_v none_o will_v deny_v and_o second_o it_o be_v plain_a that_o the_o gospel_n must_v be_v preach_v to_o every_o creature_n namely_o the_o creature_n man_n and_o i_o also_o be_o persuade_v that_o no_o man_n will_v deny_v the_o gospel_n to_o be_v remission_n of_o sin_n and_o god_n love_v in_o christ_n to_o wit_n god_n reconcile_v to_o sinner_n not_o impute_v their_o sin_n now_o if_o god_n do_v not_o intend_v to_o save_v all_o man_n then_o in_o command_v the_o gospel_n to_o be_v preach_v to_o every_o man_n command_v a_o lie_n to_o be_v preach_v to_o the_o great_a part_n
