and_o yet_o be_v a_o unregenerate_a man_n the_o first_o question_n be_v the_o controversal_a point_n in_o hand_n between_o we_o and_o the_o arminian_o and_o i_o say_v it_o be_v agreeable_a to_o that_o

for_o the_o second_o question_n take_v a_o drunkard_n or_o the_o like_a sinner_n i_o say_v this_o man_n can_v and_o may_v present_o resolve_v to_o keep_v his_o ill_a company_n no_o more_o he_o may_v command_v his_o outward_a man_n and_o so_o his_o leg_n to_o carry_v he_o from_o the_o alehouse_n if_o he_o will_n if_o he_o do_v thus_o he_o leave_v that_o sin_n so_o may_v he_o other_o he_o may_v

difficult_a perhaps_o to_o many_o be_v easy_o determine_v the_o unregenerate_a man_n can_v do_v if_o he_o will_v and_o may_v will_n and_o do_v that_o and_o all_o that_o which_o the_o regenerate_v man_n do_v in_o the_o matter_n but_o as_o for_o the_o manner_n this_o be_v certain_a that_o the_o regenerate_v man_n only_o do_v act_n out_o of_o that_o principle_n and_o to_o that_o end_n and_o with_o those_o circumstance_n particular_o in_o regard_n to_o the_o predominancy_n of_o god_n interest_n over_o the_o flesh_n and_o we_o world_n as_o bring_v up_o what_o he_o do_v to_o answer_v the_o covenant_n term_n and_o so_o alone_o be_v entitle_v to_o the_o promise_a reward_n which_o be_v to_o be_v justify_v and_o save_v in_o conclusion_n we_o see_v how_o the_o mystery_n of_o election_n

appear_v a_o truth_n as_o it_o seem_v at_o least_o very_o agreeable_a to_o my_o reason_n and_o will_v be_v find_v as_o consonant_a perhaps_o to_o the_o judicious_a with_o the_o scripture_n that_o the_o merit_n or_o purchase_v of_o christ_n death_n or_o the_o price_n he_o lay_v down_o for_o our_o redemption_n be_v not_o offer_v to_o the_o father_n to_o procure_v of_o he_o that_o he_o shall_v give_v faith_n and_o repentance_n to_o any_o but_o that_o he_o shall_v give_v remission_n to_o those_o that_o repent_v and_o salvation_n to_o those_o that_o believe_v on_o he_o i_o humble_o offer_v you_o these_o reason_n 1._o the_o hold_v otherwise_o than_o thus_o do_v make_v christ_n redemption_n a_o double_a thing_n one_o thing_n for_o one_o man_n and_o another_o thing_n for_o another_o if_o shall_v be_v procure_v salvation_n for_o judas_n if_o he_o repent_v and_o it_o shall_v be_v the_o procure_a repentance_n for_o peter_n that_o he_o may_v be_v save_v 2._o it_o go_v quite_o against_o the_o hair_n to_o reason_n that_o christ_n shall_v procure_v the_o benefit_n upon_o condition_n and_o only_o on_o condition_n and_o not_o otherwise_o and_o yet_o that_o he_o shall_v procure_v also_o the_o performance_n to_o what_o purpose_n do_v we_o make_v such_o a_o labour_n about_o as_o this_o why_o do_v you_o not_o say_v he_o purchase_v the_o benefit_n rather_o free_v altogether_o without_o condition_n 3._o if_o our_o believe_v and_o repent_v be_v also_o purchase_v then_o be_v there_o nothing_o in_o man_n salvation_n but_o of_o purchase_n and_o we_o shall_v be_v behold_v to_o christ_n for_o all_o and_o to_o god_n for_o nothing_o but_o if_o we_o be_v behold_v to_o christ_n for_o his_o purchase_n that_o salvation_n may_v be_v have_v if_o we_o repent_v and_o to_o god_n for_o this_o repent_v then_o do_v we_o see_v how_o high_o both_o be_v to_o be_v magnify_v for_o the_o contrivance_n 4._o the_o death_n and_o redemption_n of_o christ_n be_v for_o all_o for_o every_o man_n for_o our_o sin_n for_o the_o world_n be_v distinction_n to_o answer_v this_o be_v but_o evasion_n but_o if_o faith_n and_o repentance_n be_v the_o purchase_n of_o christ_n death_n or_o redemption_n then_o can_v his_o death_n and_o redemption_n be_v universal_a according_a to_o so_o many_o scripture_n let_v i_o double_v this_o and_o add_v also_o that_o the_o purchase_n or_o redemption_n of_o christ_n be_v universal_a certain_o as_o it_o be_v in_o scripture_n if_o by_o his_o death_n he_o have_v procure_v the_o condition_n as_o well_o as_o the_o covenant_n and_o abatement_n of_o term_n then_o must_v all_o man_n actual_o have_v be_v save_v i_o have_v one_o reason_n yet_o more_o to_o offer_v which_o be_v that_o the_o want_n of_o know_v this_o be_v i_o take_v it_o the_o great_a stumbling-block_n or_o temptation_n to_o our_o divine_n in_o the_o receive_n universal_a grace_n to_o cast_v special_a grace_n quite_o off_o when_o they_o shall_v learn_v the_o true_a mediocrity_n of_o reconcile_a both_o these_o together_o according_a to_o the_o scripture_n when_o the_o arminian_n then_o argue_v here_o christ_n have_v die_v for_o all_o and_o every_o man_n and_o that_o be_v not_o to_o be_v put_v off_o with_o the_o genera_fw-la singulorum_fw-la or_o the_o gentile_n as_o well_o as_o the_o jew_n therefore_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n be_v universal_a for_o all_o and_o every_o one_o to_o repent_v and_o believe_v that_o they_o may_v be_v save_v i_o answer_v this_o be_v manifest_o inconsequent_a because_o it_o be_v true_a that_o what_o christ_n have_v do_v by_o way_n of_o redemption_n be_v universal_a and_o belong_v to_o all_o the_o world_n and_o every_o man_n alike_o which_o be_v terminate_v in_o procure_v these_o term_n to_o be_v offer_v to_o the_o world_n for_o salvation_n but_o as_o for_o man_n belief_n repentance_n sincere_a obedience_n which_o be_v the_o term_n they_o come_v direct_o and_o immediate_o otherwise_o not_o from_o the_o grace_n of_o redemption_n nor_o from_o the_o fountain_n of_o man_n free_a will_n with_o they_o but_o from_o the_o grace_n of_o election_n god_n give_v we_o his_o son_n and_o he_o give_v we_o his_o spirit_n his_o send_v his_o son_n be_v one_o thing_n and_o his_o send_v his_o spirit_n another_o the_o work_n of_o draw_v person_n to_o christ_n i_o do_v observe_v be_v attribute_v to_o the_o father_n and_o the_o spirit_n because_o this_o be_v peculiar_a when_o the_o work_n which_o be_v attribute_v to_o christ_n in_o distinction_n to_o they_o be_v general_n to_o all_o mankind_n he_o send_v his_o son_n to_o purchase_v salvation_n if_o we_o believe_v he_o send_v his_o spirit_n to_o work_v that_o faith_n and_o repentance_n in_o we_o that_o we_o may_v be_v save_v in_o the_o one_o do_v lie_v the_o mystery_n of_o our_o redemption_n in_o the_o other_o i_o say_v the_o mystery_n of_o election_n let_v it_o be_v true_a on_o one_o hand_n that_o christ_n by_o his_o redemption_n have_v indeed_o procure_v no_o more_o for_o paul_n and_o peter_n than_o for_o judas_n and_o the_o reprobate_n and_o so_o the_o honour_n of_o his_o redemption_n be_v keep_v up_o with_o the_o arminian_n to_o the_o height_n they_o contend_v for_o it_o yet_o may_v it_o be_v true_a i_o hope_v likewise_o on_o the_o other_o hand_n that_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n towards_o peter_n and_o paul_n be_v more_o in_o give_v they_o save_v faith_n and_o repentance_n than_o to_o judas_n or_o the_o reprobate_n and_o so_o the_o doctrine_n of_o special_a grace_n and_o election_n need_v not_o neither_o be_v discard_v for_o caution_n there_o be_v the_o direct_a and_o collateral_a issue_n if_o i_o may_v so_o speak_v of_o christ_n merit_n purchase_n or_o death_n it_o be_v certain_a that_o the_o lord_n jesus_n may_v be_v say_v by_o his_o death_n and_o merit_n to_o have_v procure_v his_o own_o exaltation_n and_o as_o he_o be_v become_v thereby_o the_o dispensatour_n of_o those_o treasure_n that_o be_v in_o his_o father_n eection_n so_o repentance_n or_o faith_n in_o a_o collateral_a way_n may_v be_v account_v to_o issue_v from_o thence_o who_o god_n have_v exalt_v to_o be_v a_o prince_n to_o give_v repentance_n as_o well_o as_o be_v a_o saviour_n to_o
