the_o scripture_n reveal_v to_o we_o 1._o that_o in_o the_o sense_n as_o god_n may_v be_v say_v to_o have_v a_o end_n god_n proper_a ultimate_a end_n be_v himself_o he_o make_v all_o thing_n for_o

himself_o if_o you_o say_v that_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

that_o i_o think_v its_o suffering_n be_v the_o chief_a for_o merit_n though_o in_o a_o natural_a sense_n it_o be_v uncapable_a of_o suffer_v but_o a_o great_a ambiguity_n lie_v in_o the_o word_n all_o all_n be_v take_v sometime_o limited_o and_o improper_o for_o the_o multitude_n or_o very_o many_o as_o in_o mat._n 2._o 3._o and_o 3._o 5._o mar._n 1._o 32_o 33._o act_n 5._o 12._o etc._n

rather_o far_o so_o take_v it_o here_o as_o refer_v only_o to_o those_o that_o have_v hear_v the_o gospel_n not_o that_o i_o doubt_v at_o all_o of_o christ_n die_v for_o every_o man_n so_o far_o as_o we_o shall_v anon_o explain_v but_o 1._o because_o the_o case_n be_v more_o clear_o open_v in_o scripture_n 2._o and_o much_o more_o concern_v we_o to_o know_v how_o god_n deal_v with_o those_o to_o
