have_v knowledge_n as_o that_o be_v which_o paul_n speak_v of_o in_o that_o place_n but_o the_o place_n speak_v not_o of_o faith_n in_o christ_n only_o it_o will_v have_v man_n to_o be_v full_o

christ_n death_n to_o any_o but_o the_o elect_n if_o we_o take_v election_n according_a to_o the_o scripture_n for_o it_o be_v the_o will_n of_o the_o father_n that_o those_o and_o none_o but_o those_o that_o believe_v shall_v have_v eternal_a life_n and_o believer_n only_o be_v the_o object_n and_o subject_n of_o god_n election_n for_o election_n look_v not_o on_o man_n in_o adam_n but_o in_o christ_n i_o speak_v only_o of_o such_o as_o have_v the_o gospel_n plain_o and_o powerful_o preach_v to_o they_o but_o see_v most_o man_n do_v conceive_v that_o god_n do_v elect_v some_o man_n to_o life_n in_o unbelief_n and_o leave_v the_o rest_n we_o shall_v state_n the_o question_n thus_o whether_o god_n do_v ever_o real_o intend_v that_o those_o man_n which_o perish_v and_o be_v damn_v shall_v have_v believe_v and_o so_o have_v come_v to_o life_n and_o to_o this_o i_o answer_v affirmative_o for_o it_o be_v show_v before_o that_o god_n command_v all_o man_n to_o believe_v in_o his_o

condemn_v the_o world_n but_o that_o the_o world_n through_o he_o may_v be_v save_v this_o scripture_n which_o set_v forth_o the_o act_n of_o god_n love_n in_o send_v his_o son_n into_o the_o world_n declare_v also_o his_o end_n and_o intention_n therein_o negative_o not_o to_o condemn_v the_o world_n affirmative_o but_o that_o the_o world_n through_o he_o may_v be_v save_v again_o john_n 12.47_o if_o any_o man_n hear_v my_o word_n and_o believe_v not_o judge_v he_o not_o for_o i_o come_v not_o into_o the_o world_n to_o judge_v the_o world_n but_o to_o save_v the_o world_n why_o will_v not_o christ_n judge_v those_o man_n that_o hear_v his_o word_n and_o believe_v not_o because_o he_o come_v to_o save_v they_o again_o joh._n 5.34.40_o christ_n speak_v to_o the_o obstinate_a jew_n say_v unto_o they_o these_o thing_n speak_v i_o unto_o you_o for_o what_o end_n that_o you_o may_v be_v save_v and_o you_o will_v not_o come_v to_o i_o that_o you_o may_v have_v life_n neither_o do_v christ_n herein_o express_v his_o own_o desire_n and_o intention_n of_o the_o salvation_n of_o those_o obstinate_a jew_n but_o the_o will_n and_o intention_n of_o his_o father_n also_o for_o he_o come_v not_o down_o from_o heaven_n to_o do_v his_o own_o will_n but_o the_o will_n of_o the_o father_n which_o send_v he_o therefore_o it_o appear_v that_o as_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n be_v

be_v save_v or_o god_n disappoint_v which_o can_v be_v for_o he_o do_v whatsoever_o he_o will_v and_o if_o he_o work_v in_o this_o sense_n who_o can_v hinder_v but_o god_n in_o send_v of_o his_o son_n
