A96425	The doctrines of the Arminians & Pelagians truly stated and clearly answered: or, An examination and confutation of their ancient errors, which by the Church of Christ in former ages were justly abhorred, but of late under the names of Comfortable truths to be embraced are newly published. Concerning I. The universality of Gods free-grace in Christ to mankind. II. Concerning election. III. Redemption. IV. Conversion. V. Perserverance. Wherein the principal arguments brought to maintaine the orthodox faith are propounded, and the principal objections against them answered. / By Thomas Whitfield, minister of the gospel at Bugbrook in Northampton-shire. The Tares of Arminian heresie showed in former times (and by the help of prelatical influence then given to them increasing) and now growing up so much in these; I conceive this book wherein the author doth learnedly state and confute those opinions, is very worthy the publike light.

clear_v of_o his_o justice_n to_o have_v express_v this_o consideration_n and_o have_v answer_v that_o god_n may_v just_o decree_v to_o reject_v those_o who_o will_v refuse_v christ_n and_o stick_v to_o their_o own_o work_n of_o which_o yet_o he_o mention_n not_o a_o word_n but_o answer_v both_o this_o objection_n of_o unrighteousness_n in_o god_n ver_fw-la 14._o and_o also_o that_o other_o of_o our_o inability_n to_o resist_v god_n will_v ver_fw-la 19_o by_o resolve_v all_o into_o his_o mere_a will_n and_o pleasure_n and_o there_o rest_v ver_fw-la 15.16.21.22_o i_o will_v have_v mercy_n on_o

of_o they_o as_o can_v neither_o agree_v with_o scripture_n nor_o with_o the_o nature_n of_o god_n as_o 1._o a_o antecedent_n will_v and_o a_o consequent_a will_n both_o which_o they_o make_v to_o

give_v christ_n to_o go_v before_o any_o decree_n of_o man_n salvation_n and_o the_o decree_n of_o save_a believer_n to_o go_v before_o the_o save_n of_o any_o particular_a person_n that_o these_o thing_n can_v stand_v nor_o agree_v with_o the_o scripture_n nor_o the_o excellent_a nature_n of_o god_n appear_v by_o these_o reason_n to_o begin_v first_o with_o the_o order_n how_o can_v god_n be_v say_v to_o decree_v the_o give_v of_o christ_n before_o he_o have_v any_o intention_n or_o determination_n of_o man_n salvation_n when_o as_o the_o end_n why_o he_o give_v christ_n be_v this_o that_o he_o may_v save_v sinner_n 1_o tim._n 1.15_o and_o this_o be_v the_o reason_n of_o the_o name_n give_v he_o by_o the_o angel_n you_o shall_v call_v his_o name_n jesus_n for_o he_o shall_v save_v my_o people_n from_o their_o sin_n mat._n 1.21_o look_v for_o what_o end_n christ_n come_v into_o the_o world_n for_o that_o end_n god_n send_v he_o and_o for_o that_o end_n he_o appoint_v to_o send_v he_o but_o he_o come_v to_o save_v sinner_n how_o then_o can_v the_o determination_n of_o give_v christ_n go_v before_o the_o determination_n of_o man_n salvation_n beside_o our_o saviour_n make_v the_o love_n of_o god_n to_o be_v the_o ground_n of_o give_v his_o son_n god_n so_o love_v the_o world_n that_o he_o give_v his_o son_n john_n 3.16_o now_o this_o be_v such_o a_o love_n as_o tend_v to_o salvation_n therefore_o the_o intention_n of_o salvation_n can_v follow_v the_o intention_n of_o give_v christ_n for_o though_o man_n salvation_n be_v not_o the_o last_o end_n of_o give_v christ_n yet_o it_o be_v such_o as_o can_v never_o be_v sever_v from_o the_o last_o the_o great_a glory_n of_o god_n appear_v in_o that_o salvation_n of_o man_n which_o be_v purchase_v by_o christ_n 2._o how_o can_v the_o salvation_n of_o believer_n be_v decree_v before_o the_o salvation_n of_o particular_a person_n because_o then_o the_o object_n of_o god_n decree_n must_v be_v not_o person_n but_o
