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 some_o that_o be_v ordain_v of_o old_a to_o condemnation_n therefore_o sure_a all_o can_v

the_o elect_v obtain_v it_o and_o the_o rest_n be_v harden_v 2._o tim._n 2.20_o there_o be_v vessel_n of_o honour_n and_o vessel_n of_o dishonour_n the_o scripture_n make_v it_o a_o discriminate_a act_n in_o god_n that_o some_o he_o choose_v to_o life_n and_o other_o from_o eternity_n in_o his_o counsel_n 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 off_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 of_o scripture_n they_o abuse_v to_o strengthen_v this_o unsound_a opinion_n of_o they_o ur_fw-la one_o be_v 1_o cor._n 15.22_o as_o in_o adam_n 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 come_v the_o resurrection_n from_o the_o dead_a for_o as_o in_o adam_n all_o die_v etc._n etc._n so_o that_o here_o you_o see_v this_o be_v bring_v in_o as_o a_o proof_n of_o the_o 21._o verse_n 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 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 say_v they_o if_o god_n do_v do_v a_o act_n to_o make_v man_n see_v their_o unbelief_n and_o do_v intend_v by_o this_o action_n to_o have_v mercy_n upon_o all_o then_o god_n in_o his_o counsel_n 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 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 answer_v the_o scripture_n make_v it_o clear_a gal._n 3.22_o the_o scripture_n have_v conclude_v all_o man_n under_o sin_n the_o very_a word_n forequote_v but_o what_o be_v the_o limitation_n shall_v all_o man_n be_v save_v no_o for_o mark_v the_o next_o word_n the_o scripture_n have_v conclude_v all_o man_n under_o sin_n that_o the_o faith_n of_o jesus_n christ_n shall_v be_v give_v to_o they_o that_o believe_v now_o though_o paul_n do_v not_o say_v thus_o to_o the_o roman_n yet_o the_o word_n be_v the_o same_o the_o restriction_n hold_v good_a in_o both_o place_n so_o that_o it_o be_v clear_a that_o he_o may_v save_v all_o or_o have_v mercy_n upon_o all_o it_o be_v not_o mean_v all_o universal_o but_o all_o with_o limitation_n of_o paul_n here_o all_z they_o that_o believe_v again_o another_o objection_n or_o scripture_n they_o abuse_v be_v 1_o tim._n 2.4_o who_o will_v have_v all_o man_n to_o be_v save_v and_o come_v to_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o truth_n this_o text_n origen_n do_v gross_o abuse_v hold_v hence_o that_o it_o be_v the_o intendment_n and_o will_n of_o god_n that_o all_o man_n shall_v be_v save_v now_o to_o take_v off_o this_o objection_n we_o must_v first_o distinguish_v here_o of_o god_n will_n and_o then_o of_o this_o phrase_n all._n who_o will_v have_v all_o man_n to_o be_v save_v first_o of_o god_n will_n and_o the_o schoolman_n give_v this_o distinction_n about_o it_o that_o there_o be_v a_o will_n of_o god_n good_a pleasure_n and_o there_o be_v god_n signify_v will_n now_o the_o will_n of_o god_n good_a pleasure_n be_v that_o real_a purpose_n in_o god_n to_o save_v a_o man_n and_o there_o be_v no_o man_n that_o in_o this_o sense_n god_n will_v to_o be_v save_v but_o he_o must_v be_v save_v but_o in_o this_o sense_n god_n will_v not_o all_o man_n to_o be_v save_v but_o second_o there_o be_v god_n significative_a will_n that_o be_v whereby_o in_o scripture_n god_n tender_v salvation_n to_o every_o man_n that_o will_v lay_v hold_n upon_o jesus_n christ_n and_o so_o god●_n signify_v will_n exclude_v no_o man_n from_o salvation_n but_o the_o minister_n if_o they_o preach_v to_o ten_o thousand_o people_n they_o must_v tender_v christ_n universal_o to_o all_o because_o they_o know_v not_o which_o of_o they_o be_v elect_v and_o which_o reprobate_a which_o of_o they_o shall_v be_v save_v and_o which_o damn_a this_o be_v god_n signify_v will_n and_o though_o god_n by_o this_o will_v tell_v you_o what_o minister_n must_v do_v to_o tender_a christ_n and_o salvation_n to_o all_o yet_o this_o do_v no_o way_n follow_v that_o the_o determinate_a will_n of_o god_n good_a pleasure_n be_v involve_v under_o this_o as_o if_o all_o man_n shall_v be_v save_v perkins_n in_o his_o write_n have_v this_o distinction_n of_o it_o that_o there_o be_v god_n absolute_a will_n and_o so_o he_o will_v not_o all_o man_n to_o be_v save_v and_o god_n conditionate_n will_v that_o in_o case_n every_o man_n do_v believe_v they_o shall_v be_v save_v for_o god_n envy_v no_o man_n salvation_n there_o be_v grace_n enough_o in_o god_n to_o save_v every_o man_n in_o the_o world_n but_o second_o there_o may_v be_v more_o distinct_a answer_n give_v to_o this_o place_n god_n will_v have_v all_o man_n to_o be_v save_v all_o be_v take_v sometime_o in_o a_o destributive_a sense_n and_o sometime_o in_o a_o collective_a sense_n in_o a_o destributive_a sense_n for_o every_o man_n under_o heaven_n and_o so_o god_n will_v not_o all_o man_n to_o be_v save_v but_o second_o in_o a_o collective_a sense_n for_o all_o sort_n and_o degree_n of_o man_n and_o so_o god_n intend_v to_o save_v all_o that_o be_v some_o of_o all_o sort_n and_o of_o all_o degree_n of_o man_n in_o the_o world_n and_o this_o appear_v if_o you_o mark_v the_o context_n he_o will_v have_v all_o man_n to_o be_v save_v that_o be_v some_o of_o all_o sort_n some_o king_n some_o great_a man_n some_o rich_a and_o some_o

man_n now_o this_o be_v no_o change_n of_o the_o heart_n but_o only_o a_o change_n of_o the_o sin_n you_o have_v not_o the_o same_o sin_n you_o have_v but_o you_o have_v other_o sin_n in_o place_n of_o they_o and_o man_n may_v thus_o have_v a_o change_n in_o their_o life_n flow_v from_o a_o change_n in_o their_o sin_n yet_o no_o argument_n of_o effectual_a c●lling_n jer._n 2.36_o why_o gadde_v

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 that_o will_v go_v ramp_a and_o roar_v up_o and_o down_o devour_v his_o

because_o of_o some_o present_a outward_a affliction_n that_o lie_v upon_o they_o in_o this_o life_n their_o affliction_n may_v enforce_v they_o to_o change_v their_o way_n and_o not_o be_v so_o bad_a as_o in_o former_a day_n jonah_n 1.5_o when_o they_o be_v in_o a_o storm_n in_o the_o ship_n every_o man_n go_v and_o pray_v to_o his_o god_n what_o a_o change_n be_v here_o yet_o the_o change_n be_v

will_v make_v he_o betake_v himself_o to_o god_n and_o be_v a_o better_a mind_a man_n and_o so_o pharaoh_n when_o god_n send_v ten_o sore_a plague_n upon_o he_o the_o plague_n do_v enforce_v pharaoh_n to_o confess_v his_o sin_n and_o beg_v of_o moses_n to_o pray_v for_o he_o and_o yet_o this_o change_n in_o pharaoh_n be_v only_o because_o of_o the_o present_a affliction_n that_o lie_v upon_o he_o

because_o of_o that_o horror_n of_o conscience_n that_o seize_v on_o they_o in_o the_o apprehension_n of_o hell_n and_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n and_o from_o this_o principle_n a_o heathen_a may_v

he_o to_o life_n and_o glory_n to_o live_v and_o die_v in_o opposition_n to_o the_o word_n of_o god_n seven_o and_o this_o we_o may_v speak_v more_o confident_o and_o positive_o that_o that_o man_n

this_o sin_n be_v often_o commit_v than_o most_o man_n in_o the_o world_n dream_v of_o and_o many_o man_n be_v plunge_v into_o this_o sin_n that_o think_v well_o of_o their_o own_o soul_n the_o sin_n

damn_v and_o thus_o i_o have_v in_o brief_a give_v you_o a_o account_n of_o these_o seven_o particular_n whereby_o every_o man_n may_v give_v a_o guess_n in_o his_o own_o thought_n whether_o he_o be_v within_o the_o purpose_n of_o god_n election_n unto_o salvation_n or_o no._n i_o have_v now_o from_o this_o sad_a doctrine_n only_o a_o few_o comfortable_a position_n to_o lay_v down_o and_o so_o conclude_v as_o 1._o that_o though_o these_o particulars_n may_v give_v you_o a_o guess_n of_o those_o that_o be_v not_o within_o the_o compass_n of_o god_n election_n yet_o no_o man_n be_v bind_v to_o make_v this_o sure_a to_o himself_o that_o he_o be_v not_o elect_v you_o be_v bind_v to_o make_v your_o election_n sure_a but_o you_o be_v not_o bind_v to_o make_v your_o reprobation_n sure_a for_o these_o head_n i_o have_v give_v out_o not_o to_o make_v any_o godly_a man_n question_v his_o election_n but_o to_o startle_v wicked_a man_n who_o live_v quite_o contrary_a and_o opposite_a to_o the_o elect_a of_o god_n 2._o that_o a_o man_n may_v come_v very_o nigh_o to_o the_o worst_a of_o these_o sin_n and_o yet_o may_v be_v a_o elect_a man_n we_o be_v say_v paul_n sometime_o disobedient_a

you_o may_v come_v very_o near_o to_o these_o evil_n yet_o be_v within_o the_o compass_n of_o god_n election_n provide_v that_o you_o do_v not_o live_v and_o die_v in_o those_o evil_n for_o if_o so_o there_o be_v no_o hope_n of_o mercy_n 3._o that_o for_o man_n to_o question_v their_o election_n mere_o because_o they_o do_v not_o find_v the_o save_a effect_n of_o election_n in_o their_o heart_n and_o life_n be_v rather_o a_o argument_n of_o their_o be_v then_o of_o their_o not_o be_v elect_v because_o man_n not_o elect_v they_o never_o look_v after_o their_o election_n to_o make_v it_o
