these_o four_o particular_n 1._o that_o christ_n in_o die_v intend_v not_o the_o salvation_n of_o any_o particular_a person_n 2._o that_o the_o end_n of_o his_o death_n be_v not_o to_o bring_v some_o actual_o to_o salvation_n but_o only_o that_o god_n thereby_o may_v have_v power_n his_o justice_n be_v satisfy_v to_o give_v remission_n of_o sin_n to_o sinful_a man_n on_o what_o condition_n he_o

remission_n of_o sin_n but_o on_o condition_n of_o faith_n 4._o that_o christ_n have_v purchase_v faith_n and_o regeneration_n for_o none_o but_o remission_n and_o reconciliation_n for_o all_o which_o they_o shall_v actual_o partake_v of_o who_o do_v believe_v nor_o be_v there_o need_v of_o infuse_v any_o spiritual_a vital_a principle_n into_o the_o heart_n of_o man_n to_o enable_v they_o to_o

in_o the_o new_a covenant_n nay_o they_o all_o maintain_v that_o christ_n in_o die_v intend_v the_o actual_a salvation_n of_o particular_a person_n viz._n of_o all_o those_o who_o god_n from_o all_o eternity_n have_v choose_v that_o for_o all_o those_o christ_n have_v obtain_v the_o actual_a application_n of_o salvation_n to_o they_o as_o well_o as_o the_o purchase_n of_o it_o for_o they_o which_o actual_a enjoyment_n of_o salvation_n be_v according_a to_o god_n appointment_n to_o be_v obtain_v in_o a_o way_n of_o faith_n or_o upon_o condition_n of_o faith_n by_o or_o through_o faith_n as_o the_o scripture_n speak_v they_o further_o aver_v that_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n by_o his_o death_n have_v also_o obtain_v at_o god_n the_o father_n hand_n that_o the_o bless_a spirit_n shall_v in_o time_n work_v this_o faith_n in_o the_o heart_n of_o his_o choose_a that_o so_o through_o faith_n they_o may_v come_v actual_o to_o partake_v of_o all_o the_o benefit_n which_o he_o have_v purchase_v for_o they_o so_o then_o arminian_n maintain_v condition_n to_o be_v perform_v by_o we_o of_o our_o own_o power_n such_o we_o disclaim_v maintain_v that_o it_o be_v god_n that_o
