christ_n jesus_n who_o give_v himself_o a_o ransom_n for_o all_o to_o be_v testify_v in_o due_a time_n heb._n 2.9_o that_o he_o by_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n shall_v taste_v death_n for_o every_o

adversary_n of_o truth_n that_o by_o all_o in_o these_o place_n be_v understand_v not_o all_o particular_n but_o some_o of_o all_o sort_n or_o all_o the_o elect_a to_o this_o i_o answer_v the_o word_n all_o must_v needs_o be_v as_o full_a and_o universal_a with_o respect_n to_o christ_n death_n and_o the_o benefit_n of_o it_o as_o it_o be_v with_o respect_n to_o adam_n fall_n because_o the_o scripture_n make_v a_o plain_a parallel_n betwixt_o all_o that_o die_v in_o adam_n and_o all_o that_o christ_n die_v for_o as_o in_o that_o forecited_n place_n 2_o cor._n 5.14_o if_o one_o die_v for_o all_o than_o all_o be_v dead_a now_o if_o all_o only_o signify_v some_o in_o the_o first_o part_n of_o the_o verse_n the_o sense_n must_v run_v thus_o if_o one_o die_v for_o some_o or_o a_o few_o than_o all_o be_v dead_a this_o quite_o make_v void_a the_o apostle_n inference_n for_o if_o christ_n only_o die_v for_o some_o then_o only_o some_o be_v dead_a and_o not_o all_o again_o in_o rom._n 5.18_o the_o parallel_n be_v very_o plain_a as_o by_o the_o offence_n of_o one_o judgement_n be_v come_v upon_o all_o unto_o condemnation_n even_o so_o by_o the_o righteousness_n of_o one_o the_o free_a gift_n be_v come_v upon_o all_o unto_o justification_n of_o life_n not_o that_o all_o be_v actual_o justify_v but_o the_o free_a gift_n be_v come_v upon_o they_o that_o they_o may_v be_v justify_v and_o so_o it_o be_v that_o the_o two_o side_n or_o part_n of_o parallel_n be_v of_o equal_a extent_n beside_o that_o the_o word_n all_o in_o scripture_n do_v most_o common_o signify_v all_o particular_n and_o therefore_o to_o restrict_n it_o in_o respect_n of_o god_n grace_n and_o mercy_n through_o christ_n savour_v of_o a_o narrow_a spirit_n and_o this_o narrowness_n of_o spirit_n in_o presbyterian_o and_o independent_o be_v a_o great_a evil_n in_o they_o and_o make_v they_o so_o peevish_a uncharitable_a and_o cruel_a 2._o and_o whereas_o they_o object_n against_o christ_n his_o die_v for_o all_o man_n because_o he_o say_v he_o do_v not_o pray_v for_o the_o world_n and_o therefore_o he_o do_v not_o die_v for_o the_o world_n john_n 17.9_o i_o pray_v for_o they_o i_o pray_v not_o for_o the_o world_n it_o may_v be_v very_o well_o grant_v that_o he_o die_v not_o for_o the_o world_n which_o he_o do_v not_o pray_v for_o but_o what_o world_n be_v that_o it_o be_v not_o any_o part_n of_o mankind_n as_o they_o be_v consider_v when_o first_o bear_v into_o the_o world_n and_o have_v have_v a_o time_n to_o live_v in_o the_o world_n and_o a_o day_n of_o visitation_n wherein_o they_o may_v have_v repent_v and_o have_v be_v convert_v unto_o god_n but_o as_o have_v final_o reject_v the_o great_a mercy_n and_o grace_n of_o christ_n after_o many_o tender_v and_o offer_v of_o it_o until_o that_o the_o lord_n have_v whole_o leave_v strive_v with_o he_o by_o his_o spirit_n in_o their_o heart_n and_o then_o they_o become_v reprobate_n and_o that_o world_n whereof_o christ_n speak_v when_o he_o say_v he_o pray_v not_o for_o the_o world_n and_o therefore_o it_o ought_v to_o be_v well_o note_v and_o consider_v that_o when_o it_o be_v say_v christ_n die_v for_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o world_n it_o be_v only_o with_o respect_n to_o sin_n past_a or_o any_o other_o sin_n that_o man_n may_v commit_v before_o the_o precise_a time_n and_o period_n of_o god_n leave_v they_o and_o cease_v any_o more_o to_o strive_v with_o they_o when_o they_o be_v become_v perfect_v so_o to_o speak_v in_o sin_n and_o evil_n and_o be_v as_o the_o ripe_a tare_n fit_a for_o burn_v have_v nothing_o remain_v in_o they_o of_o any_o tenderness_n simplicity_n or_o sincerity_n or_o true_a love_n to_o god_n or_o man_n no_o grain_n of_o goodness_n or_o virtue_n nay_o not_o the_o least_o

neither_o die_v nor_o pray_v and_o thus_o it_o may_v be_v with_o many_o and_o be_v with_o many_o before_o they_o die_v and_o concern_v these_o john_n declare_v say_v there_o be_v a_o sin_n unto_o death_n i_o do_v not_o say_v that_o he_o shall_v pray_v for_o it_o 1_o joh._n 5.16_o and_o this_o be_v that_o sin_n of_o final_a unbelief_n and_o obstinate_a impenitency_n wherein_o man_n may_v be_v permit_v to_o live_v some_o considerable_a time_n before_o they_o die_v and_o this_o be_v no_o contradiction_n nor_o inconsistency_n but_o serve_v great_o to_o clear_v the_o understanding_n of_o this_o weighty_a matter_n how_o christ_n have_v die_v for_o all_o man_n within_o a_o day_n or_o time_n of_o grace_n and_o yet_o have_v die_v for_o none_o of_o these_o man_n after_o they_o have_v wilful_o neglect_v that_o day_n of_o grace_n and_o resist_v the_o spirit_n of_o grace_n until_o he_o do_v altogether_o leave_v and_o forsake_v they_o and_o also_o it_o be_v to_o be_v consider_v that_o though_o christ_n have_v die_v for_o all_o man_n within_o a_o day_n or_o time_n of_o grace_n and_o mercy_n beyond_o which_o time_n they_o have_v not_o the_o benefit_n of_o his_o death_n and_o there_o remain_v no_o more_o sacrifice_n for_o sin_n unto_o they_o yet_o he_o have_v not_o die_v with_o the_o same_o equal_a intention_n and_o degree_n of_o love_n kindness_n and_o goodwill_n for_o they_o who_o final_o perish_v as_o for_o they_o who_o be_v save_v nor_o be_v the_o gracious_a providence_n of_o god_n and_o his_o deal_n both_o inward_o and_o outward_o after_o the_o same_o way_n and_o manner_n towards_o all_o and_o therefore_o all_o who_o shall_v be_v save_v at_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n have_v very_o great_a and_o unspeakable_a cause_n to_o praise_n god_n for_o his_o more_o abundant_a mercy_n grace_n and_o love_n towards_o they_o in_o christ_n jesus_n and_o that_o he_o and_o not_o they_o do_v make_v they_o to_o differ_v from_o other_o &_o yet_o none_o that_o perish_v can_v have_v any_o just_a cause_n to_o complain_v against_o god_n for_o when_o that_o that_o be_v sufficient_a be_v give_v to_o they_o they_o have_v no_o cause_n to_o complain_v but_o all_o who_o be_v save_v god_n be_v please_v at_o one_o time_n or_o another_o that_o suit_v with_o his_o infinite_a wisdom_n and_o good_a pleasure_n so_o to_o draw_v persuade_v move_v and_o incline_v they_o to_o come_v unto_o he_o and_o when_o come_v so_o to_o preserve_v they_o with_o he_o and_o in_o he_o or_o if_o at_o any_o time_n he_o suffer_v they_o to_o depart_v infallible_o to_o reclaim_v they_o before_o the_o end_n that_o they_o shall_v certain_o be_v save_v and_o this_o the_o lord_n can_v well_o do_v so_o as_o to_o put_v a_o difference_n betwixt_o cattle_n and_o cattle_n or_o man_n and_o man_n without_o their_o observation_n and_o so_o as_o neither_o to_o give_v unto_o the_o one_o any_o occasion_n of_o presumption_n nor_o unto_o the_o other_o of_o despair_n and_o without_o give_v any_o great_a measure_n of_o inward_a grace_n although_o he_o may_v and_o oft_o do_v give_v a_o great_a measure_n to_o one_o than_o to_o another_o for_o he_o be_v free_a to_o give_v of_o his_o own_o as_o he_o

and_o the_o other_o not_o the_o inward_a grace_n be_v the_o same_o both_o in_o kind_n and_o degree_n in_o some_o that_o be_v save_v and_o in_o some_o that_o be_v not_o as_o the_o parable_n of_o the_o
