therefore_o the_o more_o wary_a and_o temperate_a of_o the_o calvinist_n bring_v down_o the_o order_n of_o reprobation_n low_o affirm_v that_o god_n look_v upon_o all_o mankind_n in_o adam_n as_o

for_o we_o that_o it_o rescue_v we_o from_o the_o sentence_n of_o damnation_n which_o we_o have_v incur_v to_o this_o i_o say_v that_o the_o honour_n of_o our_o bless_a saviour_n do_v no_o way_n

without_o it_o they_o can_v not_o go_v to_o heaven_n i_o answer_v that_o we_o know_v how_o it_o be_v now_o that_o god_n in_o his_o goodness_n have_v make_v provision_n for_o they_o but_o if_o he_o

ordinary_o impossible_a yet_o the_o second_o be_v absolute_o unjust_a and_o against_o god_n goodness_n and_o therefore_o more_o impossible_a but_o because_o the_o first_o can_v not_o be_v do_v by_o nature_n god_n be_v please_v to_o promise_v and_o to_o give_v his_o grace_n that_o he_o may_v bring_v we_o to_o that_o state_n whither_o he_o have_v design_v we_o that_o be_v to_o a_o supernatural_a

though_o he_o have_v persist_v in_o innocence_n it_o be_v true_a to_o say_v that_o without_o god_n grace_n that_o be_v by_o the_o mere_a force_n of_o nature_n he_o can_v never_o have_v arrive_v to_o a_o supernatural_a state_n that_o be_v to_o the_o joy_n of_o heaven_n and_o yet_o it_o do_v not_o follow_v that_o if_o he_o have_v remain_v in_o innocence_n he_o must_v have_v go_v to_o hell_n just_o so_o it_o be_v in_o infant_n hell_n be_v not_o make_v for_o man_n but_o for_o devil_n and_o therefore_o it_o must_v be_v something_o beside_o mere_a nature_n that_o can_v bear_v any_o man_n thither_o mere_a nature_n go_v neither_o to_o heaven_n nor_o hell_n so_o that_o when_o i_o say_v infant_n natural_o can_v go_v to_o heaven_n and_o that_o this_o be_v a_o punishment_n of_o adam_n sin_n he_o be_v

as_o well_o as_o thing_n but_o i_o affirm_v it_o be_v a_o evil_a effect_n of_o adam_n sin_n but_o in_o the_o event_n of_o thing_n it_o become_v to_o the_o person_n the_o way_n to_o a_o new_a grace_n
