say_v it_o do_v not_o extend_v to_o child_n who_o die_v in_o their_o infancy_n but_o only_o to_o man_n come_v to_o year_n of_o discretion_n if_o they_o live_v and_o die_v without_o have_v these_o

before_o conversion_n which_o be_v god_n first_o deal_n with_o a_o sinner_n a_o elect_a man_n may_v be_v as_o vile_a and_o as_o bad_a as_o any_o wicked_a man_n alive_a as_o the_o apostle_n paul_n tell_v we_o titus_n 3.3_o in_o time_n past_a we_o be_v also_o disobedient_a and_o serve_v divers_a lust_n and_o live_v in_o pleasure_n and_o excess_n etc._n etc._n so_o 1_o tim._n 1.12_o so_o that_o

these_o may_v be_v testimony_n or_o evidence_n of_o election_n four_o i_o do_v not_o press_v the_o have_v of_o these_o effect_n sensible_o to_o be_v a_o evidence_n of_o election_n if_o so_o be_v you_o have_v they_o real_o there_o be_v many_o man_n have_v these_o real_o when_o they_o have_v they_o not_o in_o their_o own_o apprehension_n five_o i_o do_v not_o press_v the_o have_v of_o these_o

but_o the_o execution_n of_o that_o decree_n may_v be_v pass_v upon_o he_o that_o he_o may_v be_v effectual_o call_v and_o yet_o he_o may_v not_o have_v all_o these_o six_o effect_n in_o a_o great_a

three_o quere_z i_o come_v now_o to_o enter_v upon_o another_o depend_v upon_o the_o former_a which_o indeed_o be_v a_o very_a dreadful_a subject_n and_o a_o point_n to_o be_v tremble_v at_o while_o
