place_n that_o the_o glad_a tiding_n and_o promise_n of_o the_o gospel_n be_v proper_a and_o peculiar_a to_o the_o elect_a and_o choose_a saint_n of_o god_n and_o not_o common_a to_o the_o elect_a

christ_n lesus_fw-la have_v 3_o bequeath_v his_o gospel_n as_o a_o peculiar_a legacy_n to_o his_o saint_n and_o choose_a one_o and_o deliver_v and_o commit_v it_o to_o they_o wherefore_o the_o

the_o elect_a as_o the_o scripture_n and_o the_o father_n have_v define_v it_o therefore_o the_o milk_n and_o food_n of_o the_o word_n and_o gospel_n be_v proper_a and_o peculiar_a unto_o they_o three_o you_o must_v take_v notice_n that_o though_o the_o gospel_n be_v to_o be_v preach_v unto_o every_o creature_n yet_o it_o be_v not_o with_o a_o intent_n to_o convert_v &_o save_v all_o those_o that_o hear_v it_o preach_v but_o only_o true_a believer_n this_o be_v evident_a by_o that_o commission_n which_o christ_n give_v unto_o his_o apostle_n 16._o go_v you_o say_v he_o into_o all_o the_o

conditional_a clause_n and_o limitation_n its_o most_o apparent_a that_o god_n do_v never_o intend_v that_o his_o gospel_n shall_v convert_v and_o save_v all_o such_o as_o hear_v it_o preach_v as_o

in_o their_o heart_n now_o these_o be_v only_o the_o elect_a and_o no_o other_o for_o 30._o they_o only_o do_v believe_v therefore_o the_o gospel_n be_v intend_v unto_o they_o alone_o if_o this_o than_o be_v grant_v and_o yield_v unto_o i_o that_o the_o promise_n and_o glad_a tiding_n of_o the_o gospel_n be_v proper_a and_o peculiar_a to_o the_o elect_a alone_o that_o the_o minister_n of_o the_o gospel_n be_v send_v out_o only_o to_o call_v and_o gather_v together_o the_o elect_a and_o that_o the_o preach_n of_o the_o gospel_n unto_o every_o creature_n be_v not_o with_o a_o intent_n to_o convert_v and_o save_v all_o such_o as_o hear_v it_o but_o only_o such_o as_o do_v believe_v it_o who_o be_v always_o the_o lesser_a number_n and_o only_o such_o as_o be_v elect_v than_o it_o follow_v inevitable_o that_o there_o be_v no_o repugnancy_n nor_o contradiction_n between_o the_o secret_a and_o the_o reveal_v will_n of_o god_n and_o that_o god_n delude_v and_o cozen_v none_o to_o who_o the_o gospel_n be_v preach_v though_o they_o be_v not_o convert_v because_o he_o do_v never_o intend_v to_o convert_v all_o those_o that_o shall_v be_v the_o heater_n but_o only_o such_o as_o be_v the_o true_a embracer_n and_o beleiver_n of_o his_o gospel_n who_o be_v only_o the_o elect_a in_o who_o alone_o he_o work_v this_o grace_n of_o faith_n yea_o but_o you_o will_v now_o object_v that_o god_n do_v serious_o object_n exhort_v and_o entreat_v even_a reprobate_n and_o wicked_a man_n to_o repent_v and_o believe_v though_o he_o have_v determine_v to_o give_v no_o faith_n nor_o yet_o repentance_n to_o they_o therefore_o if_o they_o can_v repert_a and_o believe_v of_o themselves_o as_o we_o affirm_v god_n can_v but_o mock_v and_o dissemble_v with_o they_o because_o he_o exhort_v they_o unto_o that_o which_o they_o of_o themselves_o without_o god_n aid_n can_v never_o do_v and_o which_o himself_o have_v decree_v irrevocable_o that_o they_o shall_v never_o do_v to_o this_o i_o answer_v that_o it_o be_v true_a that_o if_o god_n himself_o answ._n who_o know_v the_o heart_n and_o estate_n of_o all_o man_n shall_v tell_v any_o man_n from_o heaven_n that_o he_o be_v a_o reprobate_n and_o that_o he_o have_v irrevocable_o decree_v it_o that_o he_o will_v never_o work_v any_o faith_n or_o repentance_n in_o he_o and_o shall_v come_v to_o such_o a_o man_n in_o particular_a and_o serious_o exhort_v he_o to_o believe_v and_o repent_v that_o so_o he_o may_v be_v save_v that_o then_o there_o be_v some_o show_n of_o mockery_n falsehood_n and_o double_a deal_n in_o god_n and_o this_o objection_n may_v stand_v good_a but_o here_o the_o case_n stand_v otherwise_o for_o though_o god_n do_v oft_o time_n serious_o exhort_v and_o entreat_v even_o such_o to_o believe_v and_o repent_v as_o he_o have_v reprobate_v and_o for_o ever_o reject_v in_o his_o secret_a purpose_n and_o decree_n yet_o here_o be_v no_o delusion_n nor_o deceit_n at_o all_o first_o because_o the_o minister_n
