answer_v to_o both_o of_o they_o distinct_o 1._o that_o christ_n die_v for_o all_o man_n i_o do_v with_o the_o penman_n of_o the_o holy_a scripture_n affirm_v and_o that_o it_o be_v a_o great_a and_o

be_v aware_a of_o this_o have_v own_v it_o to_o be_v true_a in_o some_o sense_n but_o not_o content_a with_o this_o he_o put_v in_o the_o word_n alike_o think_v to_o puzzle_v we_o with_o that_o and_o lay_v down_o some_o argument_n to_o prove_v he_o do_v not_o die_v for_o all_o alike_o and_o think_v we_o be_v oblige_v to_o prove_v it_o i_o answer_v it_o be_v a_o unscriptural_a term_n a_o man_n of_o

any_o of_o they_o as_o for_o that_o last_o he_o refer_v to_o print_v 1691._o the_o word_n be_v these_o article_n 3_o that_o christ_n free_o give_v himself_o a_o ransom_n for_o all_o taste_v death_n for_o every_o man_n a_o propitiation_n for_o our_o sin_n and_o not_o for_o we_o only_o but_o also_o for_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o whole_a world_n so_o that_o the_o word_n alike_o be_v not_o by_o they_o

whether_o christ_n die_v for_o all_o man_n for_o that_o he_o own_v but_o whether_o all_o person_n in_o the_o world_n be_v by_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n put_v into_o a_o capacity_n of_o salvation_n this_o he_o deny_v and_o we_o affirm_v article_n 4._o of_o the_o aforesaid_a confession_n of_o the_o baptist_n they_o have_v these_o express_a word_n no_o man_n shall_v eternal_o suffer_v in_o hell_n that_o be_v the_o second_o death_n for_o want_v of_o christ_n that_o die_v for_o they_o but_o as_o the_o scripture_n say_v for_o deny_v the_o lord_n that_o buy_v they_o 2_o pet._n 2.1_o or_o because_o they_o believe_v not_o in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o only_o beget_v son_n of_o god_n john_n 3.18_o unbelief_n therefore_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o the_o just_a and_o righteous_a god_n will_v condemn_v the_o child_n of_o man_n it_o follow_v against_o all_o contradiction_n that_o all_o man_n at_o one_o time_n or_o other_o be_v put_v into_o such_o a_o capacity_n as_o that_o through_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n they_o may_v be_v eternal_o save_v 1._o the_o scripture_n of_o truth_n do_v affirm_v this_o in_o as_o plain_a word_n as_o a_o matter_n of_o this_o kind_n can_v well_o be_v express_v john_n 3.14_o 15_o 16_o 17._o here_o be_v set_v down_o the_o design_n of_o god_n in_o the_o gift_n of_o christ_n for_o the_o world_n 1._o negative_o that_o they_o shall_v not_o perish_v that_o god_n send_v

pretend_v then_o to_o be_v they_o must_v be_v under_o the_o great_a enchantment_n that_o ever_o mortal_n be_v for_o such_o multitude_n to_o follow_v they_o as_o he_o speak_v of_o for_o none_o but_o

for_o they_o there_o be_v no_o anabaptist_n before_o they_o answ_n if_o his_o story_n about_o fact_n be_v no_o true_a than_o his_o reason_n he_o give_v for_o it_o i_o be_o sure_a it_o be_v all_o

or_o be_v he_o baptize_v by_o another_o if_o he_o be_v not_o baptize_v at_o all_o than_o a_o unbaptised_a person_n do_v in_o the_o begin_n of_o this_o ordinance_n baptize_v multitude_n if_o he_o be_v

to_o this_o in_o page_n the_o 3d._n of_o his_o 2d_o part_n that_o two_o ship_n lade_v with_o anabaptist_n escape_v to_o england_n where_o they_o have_v nest_v ever_o since_o endeavour_v to_o
