to_o christ_n consider_v the_o high_a dignity_n of_o his_o person_n though_o in_o his_o state_n of_o exinanition_n he_o be_v make_v low_a than_o the_o angel_n that_o he_o may_v be_v in_o a_o capacity_n to_o taste_v death_n for_o every_o man._n next_o it_o be_v propose_v as_o the_o great_a motive_n for_o our_o patience_n and_o perseverance_n and_o confident_a hope_n in_o god_n amid_o all_o our_o trial_n in_o this_o world_n and_o then_o it_o be_v use_v as_o a_o very_a powerful_a reason_n to_o encourage_v we_o all_o to_o amend_v our_o life_n in_o case_n we_o have_v heinous_o sin_v or_o to_o depend_v upon_o christ_n merit_n and_o intercession_n for_o the_o pardon_n of_o all_o our_o transgression_n these_o two_o observable_a thing_n be_v thorough_o well_o consider_v be_v enough_o to_o make_v all_o thoughtful_a and_o teachable_a man_n afraid_a of_o contradict_v a_o principle_n so_o very_o clear_a in_o itself_o and_o of_o such_o vast_a importance_n and_o concernment_n in_o its_o use_n after_o these_o manifest_a and_o express_a declaration_n over_o and_o over_o touch_v the_o universal_a extent_n of_o the_o merit_n of_o christ_n death_n to_o make_v a_o monopoly_n of_o it_o for_o the_o benefit_n of_o a_o jew_n only_o leave_v all_o the_o residue_n of_o mankind_n under_o a_o absolute_a inevitable_a necessity_n of_o perish_v for_o ever_o what_o be_v this_o but_o to_o give_v the_o holy_a scripture_n the_o lie_n and_o to_o shake_v the_o mind_n of_o people_n in_o the_o practice_n of_o their_o duty_n nay_o to_o deter_v they_o from_o the_o practice_n of_o religion_n by_o ruine_v and_o dige_v up_o the_o very_a foundation_n which_o be_v design_o lay_v for_o the_o building_n up_o of_o all_o man_n in_o faith_n and_o holiness_n and_o to_o support_v the_o whole_a fabric_n of_o piety_n and_o virtue_n but_o there_o be_v some_o particular_a passage_n which_o serve_v to_o demonstrate_v and_o confirm_v the_o point_n in_o hand_n beyond_o one_o will_v think_v all_o possibility_n of_o cavil_v and_o therefore_o i_o shall_v insist_v upon_o those_o after_o a_o more_o copious_a rate_n omit_v many_o other_o which_o if_o critical_o enumerate_v will_v present_o swell_v into_o a_o great_a heap_n and_o the_o first_o shall_v be_v the_o word_n of_o st._n john_n which_o indeed_o i_o mention_v before_o but_o have_v not_o distinct_o consider_v where_o he_o tell_v we_o positive_o that_o christ_n be_v the_o propitiation_n for_o our_o sin_n and_o not_o for_o our_o sin_n only_o but_o also_o for_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o whole_a world_n 1_o jo._n 2._o 2._o there_o be_v no_o question_n but_o when_o he_o say_v christ_n be_v the_o propitiation_n for_o our_o sin_n he_o mean_v his_o own_o sin_n and_o the_o sin_n of_o other_o who_o profess_v christianity_n with_o he_o in_o the_o first_o verse_n he_o call_v they_o his_o little_a child_n which_o can_v but_o signify_v believer_n and_o if_o we_o may_v pretend_v to_o guess_v at_o god_n elect_n we_o have_v reason_n to_o think_v both_o the_o apostle_n and_o those_o he_o there_o write_v to_o to_o have_v be_v of_o that_o bless_a number_n and_o that_o st._n john_n think_v so_o too_o by_o the_o account_n he_o give_v of_o himself_o and_o then_o true_o say_v he_o our_o fellowship_n be_v with_o the_o father_n and_o with_o his_o son_n jesus_n christ_n cap._n 1._o 3_o and_o again_o i_o write_v unto_o you_o little_a child_n because_o your_o sin_n be_v forgive_v you_o for_o his_o name_n sake_n v._o 12._o much_o more_o to_o the_o same_o purpose_n he_o say_v afterward_o that_o they_o have_v overcome_v the_o wicked_a one_o that_o they_o have_v know_v the_o father_n that_o the_o word_n of_o god_n do_v abide_v in_o they_o that_o they_o have_v a_o unction_n from_o the_o holy_a one_o that_o they_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n that_o they_o have_v pass_v from_o death_n to_o life_n and_o divers_a other_o such_o character_n he_o give_v of_o they_o whereby_o we_o may_v easy_o perceive_v that_o st._n john_n look_v upon_o they_o to_o be_v in_o a_o state_n of_o salvation_n and_o whosoever_o read_v his_o epistle_n throughout_o will_v find_v reason_n enough_o by_o the_o strain_n of_o they_o to_o believe_v that_o the_o divine_a apostle_n think_v his_o own_o salvation_n very_o secure_a now_o in_o that_o speak_n in_o his_o own_o person_n and_o in_o the_o person_n of_o other_o faithful_a christian_n he_o affirm_v christ_n to_o be_v the_o propitiation_n not_o for_o their_o sin_n only_o but_o also_o for_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o whole_a world_n he_o must_v be_v understand_v to_o mean_v the_o whole_a world_n of_o infidel_n for_o there_o lie_v the_o antithesis_fw-la and_o the_o whole_a world_n be_v distinguish_v into_o two_o great_a division_n the_o sheep_n and_o the_o goat_n those_o who_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n and_o those_o who_o be_v not_o and_o christ_n be_v say_v to_o be_v the_o propitiation_n for_o all_o we_o must_v conclude_v that_o he_o die_v for_o more_o than_o be_v suppose_v to_o be_v predestinate_v to_o eternal_a life_n or_o else_o i_o can_v conceive_v to_o what_o purpose_n st._n john_n speak_v those_o word_n or_o what_o truth_n or_o sense_n they_o can_v bear_v if_o he_o die_v for_o believer_n only_o to_o say_v he_o be_v the_o propitiation_n also_o for_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o whole_a world_n if_o it_o be_v not_o so_o will_v have_v be_v superfluous_a and_o false_a and_o therefore_o this_o single_a text_n shall_v put_v it_o out_o of_o controversy_n that_o he_o die_v for_o all_o mankind_n he_o pay_v on_o his_o part_n a_o ransom_n for_o all_o he_o make_v on_o his_o part_n a_o atonement_n for_o all_o so_o that_o all_o be_v deliver_v from_o a_o necessity_n of_o perish_v all_o be_v put_v anew_o into_o a_o possibility_n and_o capacity_n of_o be_v happy_a for_o ever_o and_o if_o after_o all_o this_o some_o will_v not_o lay_v hold_n on_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n by_o a_o free_a and_o lively_a faith_n nor_o perform_v the_o term_n of_o a_o new-covenant_n of_o grace_n which_o be_v seal_v by_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n but_o will_v trample_v under_o foot_n the_o blood_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n this_o be_v no_o diminution_n to_o its_o infinite_a valour_n nor_o to_o his_o act_n and_o intention_n but_o a_o aggravation_n of_o their_o gild_n who_o be_v put_v by_o he_o into_o a_o good_a condition_n and_o may_v have_v be_v eternal_o save_v have_v they_o not_o be_v want_v on_o their_o own_o part_n to_o themselves_o by_o wilful_o neglect_v so_o great_a salvation_n this_o be_v a_o plain_a easie_n and_o natural_a account_n of_o st._n john_n meaning_n and_o to_o the_o same_o effect_n though_o in_o other_o word_n st._n paul_n tell_v we_o that_o christ_n be_v the_o saviour_n of_o all_o man_n especial_o of_o those_o that_o believe_v 1_o tim._n 4._o 10._o this_o assertion_n can_v not_o be_v true_a nor_o the_o distinction_n needful_a or_o to_o any_o purpose_n be_v he_o not_o the_o saviour_n of_o they_o that_o believe_v not_o why_o shall_v the_o apostle_n come_v off_o with_o a_o especial_o of_o those_o that_o believe_v if_o christ_n do_v not_o his_o part_n to_o save_o all_o in_o general_n the_o whole_a race_n of_o mankind_n he_o may_v have_v say_v who_o be_v the_o saviour_n of_o the_o elect_n and_o no_o more_o if_o no_o more_o have_v be_v in_o christ_n eye_n and_o heart_n his_o say_n especial_o do_v not_o limit_v or_o restrain_v the_o merit_n of_o his_o death_n to_o believer_n but_o only_o restrain_v the_o application_n of_o his_o merit_n to_o they_o through_o the_o fault_n of_o other_o who_o make_v his_o blood_n of_o no_o effect_n to_o they_o by_o be_v unbeliever_n it_o show_v that_o they_o exclude_v themselves_o from_o have_v that_o benefit_n by_o his_o death_n which_o he_o purchase_v for_o all_o and_o intend_v for_o all_o if_o they_o will_v believe_v and_o repent_v none_o be_v pass_v by_o by_o any_o absolute_a decree_n of_o god_n or_o for_o want_n of_o affection_n in_o the_o son_n of_o god_n he_o die_v for_o every_o man_n with_o a_o sincere_a purpose_n and_o upon_o condition_n that_o every_o one_o will_v lay_v hold_n on_o his_o cross_n and_o cleanse_v himself_o from_o all_o filthiness_n by_o the_o blood_n of_o sprinkle_v upon_o that_o account_n he_o be_v the_o saviour_n of_o all_o man_n and_o the_o propitiation_n for_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o whole_a world_n as_o to_o merit_v and_o intention_n but_o because_o all_o do_v not_o come_v unto_o he_o after_o all_o but_o continue_v still_o in_o a_o state_n of_o wickedness_n and_o infidelity_n therefore_o as_o to_o efficacy_n he_o be_v not_o so_o much_o their_o saviour_n as_o he_o be_v other_o to_o all_o intent_n and_o purpose_n he_o be_v a_o propitiation_n and_o saviour_n especial_o to_o believer_n 2._o second_o for_o the_o far_a
