A51262	Clavis aurea; or, a golden key: by which hidden and mystical scriptures are opened and explained Wherein is clearly discovered and asserted, the doctrine of the salvation of all men. Also the mystery of iniquity laid open, and the doctrine of freewill fully refuted; by proving, that sin is an infirmity. By Thomas Moor.

shall_v thy_o seed_n be_v call_v now_o isaac_n typify_v christ_n but_o be_v not_o crucify_v for_o we_o so_o that_o all_o be_v not_o israel_n which_o be_v of_o israel_n as_o be_v not_o all_o but_o only_o some_o of_o they_o for_o in_o isaac_n figurative_o and_o in_o christ_n real_o the_o gentile_n be_v add_v to_o they_o as_o in_o rom._n 9_o 8._o the_o child_n of_o the_o flesh_n these_o be_v not_o the_o child_n of_o god_n but_o the_o child_n of_o the_o promise_n be_v account_v for_o the_o seed_n that_o be_v flesh_n and_o blood_n shall_v not_o inherit_v the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n only_o the_o child_n of_o the_o promise_n as_o it_o be_v write_v in_o isaac_n shall_v thy_o seed_n be_v call_v rom._n 9_o 7._o now_o since_o the_o enemy_n of_o the_o gospel_n that_o die_v in_o unbelief_n as_o be_v conclude_v in_o it_o till_o the_o fullness_n of_o the_o gentile_n become_v in_o yet_o be_v save_v elect_v and_o belove_v and_o without_o faith_n it_o be_v impossible_a to_o be_v save_v therefore_o faith_n be_v give_v after_o this_o life_n for_o it_o can_v be_v prove_v that_o without_o faith_n in_o this_o life_n a_o man_n can_v be_v save_v now_o see_v israel_n in_o part_n must_v

as_o figurative_o we_o say_v in_o that_o distemper_n call_v a_o fever_n as_o hot_a as_o fire_n and_o david_n call_v the_o trouble_n of_o this_o life_n hell_n he_o say_v in_o the_o 116th_o psalm_n

to_o israel_n in_o part_n that_o they_o die_v in_o unbelief_n as_o be_v till_o the_o fullness_n of_o the_o gentile_n be_v come_v in_o where_o be_v then_o freewill_n in_o this_o case_n of_o faith_n
