give_v all_o diligence_n to_o make_v your_o call_v and_o election_n sure_a the_o last_o doctrine_n i_o draw_v from_o these_o word_n be_v this_o that_o christian_n shall_v put_v forth_o a_o great_a deal_n of_o diligence_n to_o make_v this_o sure_a to_o their_o soul_n that_o they_o be_v eternal_o elect_v by_o god_n to_o life_n and_o glory_n in_o the_o prosecution_n of_o which_o i_o have_v go_v over_o some_o query_n there_o be_v four_o difficulty_n or_o query_n i_o be_o further_a to_o insist_v upon_o in_o treat_v of_o this_o point_n as_o namely_o first_o whether_o this_o election_n be_v universal_a or_o no_o second_o whether_o a_o man_n that_o be_v once_o elect_a by_o god_n to_o salvation_n may_v come_v to_o be_v damn_v yea_o or_o no_o three_o whether_o god_n in_o elect_v a_o man_n to_o life_n and_o glory_n do_v it_o out_o of_o any_o foresight_n of_o faith_n or_o any_o other_o grace_n he_o see_v in_o man_n and_o fourthly_a whether_o this_o doctrine_n of_o election_n that_o god_n in_o his_o own_o counsel_n have_v determine_v who_o shall_v be_v damn_v and_o who_o save_v do_v not_o take_v man_n off_o from_o any_o endeavour_n after_o their_o own_o salvation_n to_o make_v they_o desperate_a and_o neglect_v the_o use_n of_o mean_n that_o they_o shall_v say_v if_o i_o shall_v be_v damn_v i_o shall_v be_v damn_v and_o if_o save_v i_o shall_v be_v save_v let_v i_o live_v as_o i_o listen_v whether_o this_o doctrine_n will_v favour_v this_o desperate_a conclusion_n yea_o or_o no_o first_o whether_o election_n be_v universal_a or_o no_o this_o be_v that_o the_o arminian_o and_o papist_n do_v mighty_o drive_v at_o and_o here_o they_o lie_v down_o this_o conclusion_n which_o they_o make_v unquestionable_a that_o there_o be_v such_o a_o thing_n as_o a_o certain_a universal_a election_n of_o god_n without_o limitation_n or_o restraint_n of_o person_n whereby_o god_n do_v determine_v to_o save_v all_o mankind_n by_o christ_n who_o be_v fall_v in_o adam_n this_o opinion_n be_v first_o draw_v from_o origen_n who_o hold_v that_o all_o creature_n shall_v be_v save_v and_o the_o papist_n and_o arminian_o mince_v the_o matter_n to_o make_v it_o a_o little_a more_o plausible_a than_o he_o do_v they_o say_v that_o god_n in_o his_o purpose_n do_v intend_v to_o save_v all_o mankind_n by_o jesus_n christ_n but_o man_n fall_v away_o and_o walk_v contrary_n to_o their_o principle_n the_o defect_n lie_v in_o they_o that_o they_o be_v not_o save_v and_o this_o divine_n call_v universal_a redemption_n now_o against_o this_o i_o shall_v lay_v down_o several_a scripture_n and_o then_o take_v off_o the_o objection_n that_o seem_v to_o strengthen_v this_o opinion_n first_o for_o scripture_n in_o the_o epistle_n of_o judas_n vers_fw-la 3._o you_o read_v of_o

he_o choose_v to_o wrath_n and_o condemnation_n and_o these_o scripture_n will_v full_o overthrow_v this_o opinion_n and_o indeed_o the_o very_a word_n choose_v confute_v it_o which_o intimate_v a_o take_n of_o some_o with_o a_o overlooking_a of_o other_o but_o now_o let_v we_o view_v a_o little_a the_o argument_n or_o scripture_n they_o abuse_v to_o strengthen_v this_o unsound_a opinion_n of_o they_o one_o be_v 1_o cor._n 15.22_o as_o in_o adant_a all_o die_v even_o so_o in_o christ_n shall_v all_o be_v make_v alive_a now_o say_v they_o every_o man_n do_v die_v in_o adam_n every_o mother_n child_n by_o adam_n fall_n become_v subject_a to_o death_n even_o so_o in_o christ_n shall_v every_o man_n be_v make_v alive_a the_o lord_n do_v intend_v that_o every_o man_n shall_v have_v benefit_n by_o jesus_n christ_n now_o to_o take_v off_o this_o i_o shall_v answer_v it_o in_o show_v you_o the_o true_a intent_n and_o scope_n of_o this_o scripture_n this_o universal_a phrase_n of_o make_v alive_a have_v not_o reference_n to_o the_o save_n of_o the_o soul_n but_o to_o the_o resurrection_n of_o the_o body_n and_o so_o the_o sense_n be_v this_o that_o as_o in_o adam_n by_o virtue_n of_o his_o sin_n every_o man_n come_v to_o die_v a_o natural_a death_n so_o in_o christ_n shall_v all_o be_v make_v alive_a that_o be_v so_o by_o christ_n power_n shall_v every_o man_n rise_v from_o the_o dead_a and_o if_o you_o ask_v how_o i_o make_v that_o appear_v to_o be_v the_o intendment_n of_o the_o text._n i_o answer_v the_o word_n themselves_o will_v make_v it_o plain_a verse_n 11._o it_o be_v say_v by_o man_n come_v death_n by_o man_n also_o come_v the_o resurrection_n from_o the_o dead_a that_o be_v as_o by_o that_o man_n adam_n come_v death_n so_o by_o that_o man_n christ_n shall_v

intimate_v that_o this_o be_v make_v alive_a have_v no_o reference_n to_o the_o life_n of_o the_o soul_n but_o only_o to_o the_o resurrection_n of_o the_o body_n that_o as_o adam_n by_o his_o sin_n bring_v death_n to_o all_o man_n so_o christ_n by_o his_o power_n shall_v raise_v all_o man_n from_o the_o dead_a every_o man_n in_o his_o own_o order_n however_o shall_v this_o be_v grant_v that_o this_o make_v alive_a shall_v have_v reference_n to_o the_o life_n of_o the_o soul_n it_o will_v bear_v no_o more_o but_o this_o that_o all_o that_o be_v damn_v be_v damn_v as_o in_o adam_n loin_n and_o all_o that_o be_v save_v shall_v be_v save_v as_o in_o the_o loin_n of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o so_o make_v nothing_o at_o all_o to_o prove_v this_o which_o they_o call_v universal_a election_n another_o scripture_n undeniable_a they_o think_v be_v rom._n 11.32_o where_o it_o be_v say_v god_n have_v conclude_v all_o man_n under_o unbelief_n that_o he_o may_v have_v mercy_n upon_o all_o now_o

intend_v to_o save_v all_o now_o to_o this_o that_o he_o may_v have_v mercy_n upon_o all_o i_o answer_v this_o phrase_n all_o be_v not_o to_o be_v take_v in_o a_o unlimited_a sense_n as_o if_o he_o will_v have_v mercy_n upon_o all_o mankind_n but_o it_o be_v to_o be_v take_v in_o a_o restrain_a sense_n that_o god_n shut_v up_o all_o man_n in_o unbelief_n that_o be_v god_n make_v all_o believer_n see_v their_o own_o misery_n that_o he_o may_v have_v mercy_n on_o all_o they_o that_o believe_v and_o if_o you_o ask_v how_o i_o prove_v this_o to_o be_v the_o meaning_n of_o the_o text_n i_o

of_o the_o heart_n of_o man_n as_o there_o be_v a_o change_n from_o a_o pagan_a to_o a_o christian_a so_o be_v julian_n change_v yet_o a_o man_n never_o call_v by_o jesus_n christ_n then_o there_o

it_o may_v be_v they_o have_v not_o so_o gross_a sin_n now_o as_o in_o time_n past_a in_o time_n past_a they_o will_v oppose_v religion_n and_o now_o they_o profess_v it_o though_o they_o have_v

this_o be_v no_o change_n of_o heart_n all_o this_o while_n so_o that_o take_v this_o for_o a_o truth_n there_o may_v be_v a_o change_n in_o the_o life_n when_o the_o heart_n remain_v unchanged_a still_o five_o there_o may_v be_v a_o change_n in_o man_n life_n arise_v from_o a_o change_n in_o the_o occasion_n to_o sin_n and_o not_o from_o a_o change_n in_o the_o heart_n as_o now_o a_o lion_n
