his_o surpass_a love_n towards_o the_o elect_a that_o he_o give_v his_o own_o son_n to_o die_v for_o they_o 2._o a_o most_o comfortable_a inference_n thereupon_o that_o have_v give_v his_o son_n he_o will_v give_v all_o thing_n with_o he_o the_o word_n be_v open_v the_o text_n give_v we_o many_o doctrine_n deduct_v doctrine_n deduct_v 1._o that_o jesus_n christ_n who_o be_v here_o call_v god_n

give_v himself_o to_o die_v for_o all_o but_o only_o for_o the_o elect._n 4._o that_o the_o love_n of_o god_n be_v wonderful_o make_v out_o to_o soul_n in_o give_v his_o son_n to_o die_v for_o they_o these_o four_o observation_n lie_v very_o clear_a in_o the_o antecedent_n viz._n that_o god_n spare_v not_o his_o own_o son_n but_o deliver_v he_o up_o to_o death_n for_o the_o elect._n now_o in_o the_o consequent_a or_o inference_n that_o god_n will_v sure_o together_o with_o christ_n give_v all_o other_o thing_n we_o have_v these_o note_n 1._o that_o even_o all_o earthly_a thing_n be_v give_v and_o dispense_v by_o god_n doctrine_n doctrine_n 2._o that_o jesus_n christ_n be_v the_o great_a gift_n of_o god_n 3._o that_o where_o god_n give_v christ_n he_o will_v give_v all_o other_o needful_a good_a thing_n 4._o that_o all_o the_o enjoyment_n of_o believer_n be_v gift_n of_o grace_n where_o christ_n be_v give_v there_o be_v a_o gracious_a gift_n of_o other_o thing_n with_o he_o 5._o where_o christ_n be_v not_o give_v nothing_o be_v give_v with_o a_o purpose_n of_o grace_n 6._o that_o where_o the_o love_n of_o god_n in_o give_v christ_n be_v apprehend_v and_o particular_o apply_v

thus_o you_o see_v this_o 32th_o verse_n of_o this_o 8_o chapter_n of_o the_o epistle_n to_o the_o roman_n be_v like_o a_o special_a branch_n of_o a_o fruitful_a tree_n singular_o well_o load_v with_o
