of_o the_o love_n of_o god_n but_o all_o affection_n be_v raise_v mediante_fw-la intellectu_fw-la and_o therefore_o knowledge_n go_v before_o they_o who_o can_v know_v that_o he_o rejoice_v spiritual_o and_o that_o his_o joy_n be_v a_o fruit_n of_o election_n that_o know_v not_o why_o he_o rejoice_v 3._o however_o it_o be_v desperate_a doctrine_n to_o teach_v poor_a christian_n that_o they_o have_v no_o ground_n to_o love_n or_o thank_v christ_n for_o redeem_v they_o till_o the_o spirit_n have_v without_o any_o sign_n reveal_v their_o election_n to_o they_o which_o i_o think_v it_o never_o do_v last_o the_o spirit_n witness_v with_o our_o spirit_n now_o our_o spirit_n witness_v only_o from_o evidence_n that_o we_o be_v god_n child_n and_o not_o without_o and_o therefore_o whether_o the_o spirit_n be_v a_o concur_v witness_n in_o the_o same_o testimony_n or_o its_o testimony_n be_v a_o concomitant_a testimony_n distinct_a from_o though_o conjunct_a with_o that_o of_o our_o conscience_n i_o think_v the_o former_a yet_o all_o be_v one_o to_o the_o point_n in_o hand_n see_v they_o witness_v together_o so_o much_o for_o the_o minor_a viz._n that_o the_o elect_n be_v bind_v to_o love_n and_o thankfulness_n for_o redemption_n before_o they_o know_v themselves_o elect._n now_o for_o the_o consequence_n of_o the_o major_n it_o it_o clear_a from_o what_o be_v say_v that_o the_o elect_n can_v not_o be_v bind_v to_o this_o except_o the_o non-elect_a be_v also_o because_o as_o be_v prove_v no_o man_n can_v know_v whether_o he_o be_v elect_a or_o not_o before_o he_o know_v himself_o so_o much_o as_o oblige_v to_o love_n and_o gratitude_n for_o redemption_n for_o elect_n and_o non-elect_a be_v not_o to_o to_o be_v discern_v till_o faith_n and_o love_n do_v put_v a_o difference_n and_o therefore_o methinks_v i_o may_v conclude_v confident_o that_o the_o non-elect_a be_v bind_v to_o love_n and_o thankfulness_n for_o redemption_n or_o satisfaction_n and_o therefore_o they_o be_v redeem_v or_o satisfy_v for_o if_o any_o shall_v make_v the_o common_a objection_n viz._n the_o non-elect_a or_o the_o elect_a not_o yet_o convert_v be_v bind_v to_o love_n and_o gratitude_n to_o christ_n for_o satisfy_v for_o all_o that_o will_v believe_v i_o have_v answer_v this_o oft_o already_o 1._o the_o doctrine_n which_o i_o oppose_v be_v that_o christ_n have_v not_o only_o die_v for_o man_n if_o they_o will_v believe_v but_o die_v only_o for_o the_o elect_n that_o they_o may_v believe_v so_o that_o it_o be_v determine_v by_o name_n for_o who_o he_o die_v

they_o be_v exclude_v i_o have_v show_v can_v add_v no_o obligation_n 2._o mens_fw-la believe_v will_v not_o cause_n christ_n to_o die_v for_o they_o nor_o be_v it_o a_o condition_n of_o it_o as_o if_o christ_n will_v die_v for_o man_n if_o they_o will_v believe_v believe_v presuppose_v christ_n die_v for_o we_o and_o what_o then_o can_v be_v their_o meaning_n that_o say_v christ_n die_v and_o

believe_v will_v they_o say_v that_o he_o die_v for_o the_o non-elect_a if_o they_o will_v believe_v then_o either_o they_o must_v mean_v that_o he_o undergo_v the_o penalty_n and_o leave_v it_o

of_o any_o other_o considerable_a objection_n i_o will_v answer_v it_o but_o i_o can_v furthermore_o for_o the_o antecedency_n of_o the_o obligation_n to_o love_v mark_v how_o christ_n make_v it_o a_o

the_o communication_n of_o himself_o to_o his_o creature_n be_v his_o end_n either_o you_o speak_v of_o the_o act_n of_o communication_n as_o in_o god_n and_o so_o it_o be_v himself_o as_o before_o

the_o nature_n of_o god_n end_n or_o intend_v but_o the_o conception_n and_o expression_n which_o i_o judge_v to_o be_v most_o favour_v by_o scripture_n and_o reason_n be_v that_o god_n will_v be_v the_o beginning_n and_o end_n of_o all_o thing_n whatsoever_o please_v he_o that_o do_v he_o and_o when_o he_o have_v do_v it_o the_o please_v he_o be_v his_o end_n and_o therefore_o he_o rest_v after_o the_o work_n of_o creation_n and_o express_v himself_o well_o please_v by_o and_o in_o his_o son_n in_o the_o work_n of_o redemption_n as_o see_v his_o work_n in_o both_o to_o be_v very_o

end_n though_o proper_o god_n can_v have_v no_o end_n but_o himself_o yet_o there_o be_v some_o mean_n so_o close_o conjunct_a with_o this_o end_n as_o be_v the_o immediate_a matter_n of_o god_n
