but_o now_o the_o preacher_n offer_v mercy_n in_o the_o gospel_n to_o sinner_n as_o they_o be_v sinner_n here_o be_v way_n make_v for_o the_o word_n to_o be_v speak_v in_o faith_n because_o his_o

neither_o the_o one_o not_o yet_o the_o other_o as_o consider_v under_o these_o simple_a act_n be_v fit_a subject_n to_o embrace_v the_o gospel_n for_o neither_o the_o one_o act_n nor_o yet_o the_o other_o do_v make_v either_o of_o they_o sinner_n but_o the_o gospel_n be_v to_o be_v tender_v to_o man_n as_o they_o be_v sinner_n and_o personal_o under_o the_o curse_n of_o god_n for_o sin_n wherefore_o to_o proffer_n grace_n to_o the_o elect_n because_o they_o be_v elect_a it_o be_v to_o proffer_n grace_n and_o mercy_n to_o they_o as_o not_o consider_v they_o as_o sinner_n and_o i_o say_v to_o deny_v it_o to_o the_o reprobate_n because_o he_o be_v not_o elect_v it_o be_v not_o only_o a_o denial_n of_o grace_n to_o they_o that_o have_v no_o need_n thereof_o but_o also_o before_o occasion_n be_v give_v on_o their_o part_n for_o such_o a_o dispensation_n and_o i_o say_v again_o therefore_o to_o offer_v christ_n and_o grace_n to_o man_n elect_v as_o simple_o so_o consider_v this_o administer_v to_o he_o no_o comfort_n at_o all_o he_o be_v here_o no_o sinner_n and_o so_o engage_v not_o the_o heart_n at_o all_o to_o jesus_n christ_n for_o that_o come_v in_o and_o be_v effect_v on_o they_o as_o they_o be_v sinner_n yea_o to_o deny_v the_o gospel_n also_o to_o the_o reprobate_n because_o he_o be_v not_o elect_a it_o will_v not_o trouble_v he_o at_o all_o for_o say_v he_o so_o i_o be_o not_o a_o sinner_n and_o so_o do_v not_o need_v a_o saviour_n but_o now_o because_o the_o elect_n have_v no_o need_n of_o grace_n in_o christ_n by_o the_o gospel_n but_o as_o they_o be_v sinner_n nor_o the_o reprobate_n cause_n to_o refuse_v it_o as_o they_o be_v sinner_n therefore_o christ_n by_o the_o word_n of_o the_o gospel_n be_v to_o be_v proffer_v to_o both_o without_o consider_v elect_a or_o reprobate_n even_o as_o they_o be_v sinner_n the_o whole_a have_v no_o need_n of_o the_o physician_n but_o those_o that_o be_v sick_a i_o come_v not_o to_o call_v the_o
