arminianism_n be_v only_o a_o limb_n of_o socinianism_n as_o a_o map_n of_o a_o province_n or_o kingdom_n be_v but_o a_o limb_n of_o a_o quarter-map_n or_o of_o a_o map_n of_o the_o whole_a world_n for_o arminian_o have_v borrow_v all_o they_o have_v both_o doctrine_n and_o argument_n from_o the_o socinian_o or_o unitarian_n and_o for_o that_o reason_n it_o must_v be_v far_o say_v that_o such_o as_o extend_v the_o redemption_n by_o christ_n beyond_o what_o be_v above_o declare_v be_v so_o farforth_o socinianize_v have_v depart_v from_o the_o article_n of_o the_o english_a church_n and_o from_o the_o suffrage_n of_o the_o british_a divine_n at_o dort_n the_o note_n they_o tell_v we_o that_o god_n so_o impute_v the_o single_a transgression_n of_o one_o man_n to_o all_o man_n as_o to_o make_v all_o man_n thereupon_o obnoxious_a to_o the_o three_o death_n temporal_a spiritual_a and_o eternal_a but_o that_o soon_o repent_v he_o of_o this_o rigour_n he_o take_v up_o a_o contrary_a resolution_n even_o to_o redeem_v all_o men._n well_o do_v they_o hold_v of_o that_o mind_n for_o if_o they_o do_v it_o be_v no_o very_a hurtful_a tragi-comedy_n because_o however_o unjust_o all_o man_n be_v condemn_v yet_o if_o they_o be_v all_o pardon_v they_o have_v be_v more_o scared_n than_o hurt_v but_o the_o matter_n it_o seem_v be_v otherways_o for_o when_o god_n resolve_v to_o redeem_v all_o man_n the_o meaning_n be_v he_o intend_v to_o redeem_v some_o and_o far_o in_o elect_v or_o choose_v those_o some_o his_o election_n ofttimes_o be_v from_o the_o most_o wicked_a and_o those_o also_o at_o their_o last_o end_n or_o when_o they_o have_v sin_v as_o long_o as_o they_o can_v in_o a_o word_n of_o those_o few_o who_o god_n be_v please_v to_o redeem_v from_o that_o ruin_n which_o his_o imputation_n of_o adam_n sin_n to_o they_o bring_v on_o they_o he_o choose_v they_o say_v the_o least_o worthy_a for_o object_n of_o the_o high_a mercy_n and_o exercise_n the_o uttermost_a unjustice_n and_o cruelty_n on_o those_o that_o be_v better_a or_o however_o not_o so_o bad_a let_v we_o consider_v these_o two_o notable_a piece_n of_o orthodox_n doctrine_n 1._o god_n have_v elect_v to_o salvation_n and_o have_v redeem_a only_a some_o of_o those_o many_o who_o be_v undo_v by_o his_o imputation_n of_o another_o man_n transgression_n to_o they_o now_o though_o unitarian_n deny_v there_o be_v any_o need_n of_o a_o redeemer_n to_o rescue_v we_o from_o adam_n transgression_n or_o the_o punishment_n thereof_o because_o neither_o can_v that_o transgression_n be_v impute_v to_o we_o nor_o can_v we_o be_v just_o punish_v for_o it_o yet_o on_o other_o account_n we_o own_o there_o be_v need_n of_o a_o redeemer_n as_o to_o reconcile_v the_o world_n to_o the_o one_o true_a god_n from_o who_o they_o be_v depart_v by_o a_o universal_a idolatry_n and_o to_o reconcile_v god_n to_o the_o world_n for_o that_o and_o other_o actual_a sin_n and_o divers_a other_o reason_n but_o we_o say_v also_o that_o whatsoever_o be_v do_v or_o suffer_v by_o christ_n the_o redeemer_n or_o saviour_n be_v equal_o do_v for_o all_o man_n and_o woman_n none_o except_v we_o deny_v not_o that_o holy_a scripture_n speak_v of_o the_o elect_n but_o we_o say_v it_o mean_v not_o thereby_o some_o few_o certain_a person_n choose_v out_o of_o the_o rest_n of_o mankind_n to_o eternal_a life_n while_o all_o other_o be_v doom_v to_o damnation_n or_o lest_o in_o a_o incapacity_n of_o salvation_n but_o the_o elect_n be_v all_o such_o as_o turn_v to_o god_n all_o such_o be_v by_o he_o elect_v that_o be_v choose_v and_o design_v for_o salvation_n and_o he_o will_v have_v all_o man_n and_o woman_n to_o be_v of_o that_o number_n if_o they_o be_v not_o it_o proceed_v from_o their_o own_o negligence_n or_o wilfulness_n not_o from_o adam_n much_o less_o from_o god_n this_o be_v most_o clear_o the_o doctrine_n teach_v in_o holy_a scripture_n even_o that_o the_o redemption_n by_o christ_n be_v intend_v

christ_n be_v a_o propitiation_n for_o our_o sin_n and_o not_o for_o we_o only_o but_o for_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o whole_a world_n 1_o john_n 2.2_o st._n paul_n to_o the_o roman_n say_v by_o the_o

instead_o of_o a_o interpretation_n thereof_o and_o i_o will_v here_o leave_v it_o with_o the_o unprejudiced_a considerer_n whether_o these_o text_n do_v not_o sufficient_o prove_v this_o part_n of_o the_o damnable_a socinian_n heresy_n but_o they_o say_v far_o 2._o in_o choose_v or_o elect_v out_o of_o the_o heap_n of_o fall_v mankind_n god_n election_n or_o choice_n be_v sometime_o from_o

some_o man_n be_v that_o they_o will_v write_v a_o panegyric_n in_o praise_n of_o the_o devil_n if_o they_o have_v say_v that_o the_o election_n for_o which_o they_o contend_v be_v make_v by_o the_o

to_o judge_n betwixt_o we_o and_o our_o opposer_n but_o this_o one_o thing_n i_o will_v observe_v that_o when_o they_o be_v load_v their_o maker_n with_o such_o scandalous_a imputation_n they_o shall_v have_v so_o contrive_v their_o calumny_n as_o to_o be_v self-consistent_a and_o not_o contradictory_n to_o one_o another_o as_o they_o be_v in_o this_o article_n for_o of_o what_o worse_o or_o

before_o we_o they_o do_v these_o two_o way_n first_o by_o interpret_n the_o text_n which_o by_o confession_n of_o their_o able_a critic_n speak_v of_o the_o new_a creation_n or_o renovation_n of_o the_o world_n from_o idolatry_n to_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o one_o true_a god_n which_o be_v by_o christ_n concern_v the_o old_a creation_n or_o the_o make_n of_o heaven_n and_o earth_n which_o be_v by_o god_n second_o they_o ofttimes_o honest_o add_v the_o word_n or_o word_n that_o be_v want_v on_o their_o behalf_n which_o they_o have_v do_v in_o abundance_n of_o context_n but_o for_o both_o these_o artifices_fw-la their_o detection_n and_o their_o confutation_n i_o refer_v to_o the_o brief_a history_n of_o the_o unitarian_n of_o original_a sin_n soon_o after_o the_o creation_n adam_n the_o first_o man_n transgress_v the_o law_n give_v to_o he_o of_o not_o eat_v the_o forbid_a fruit_n he_o thereby_o incur_v the_o penalty_n of_o death_n that_o be_v the_o penalty_n annex_v to_o the_o law_n which_o he_o have_v violate_v but_o first_o he_o incur_v this_o penalty_n not_o only_o for_o himself_o who_o be_v the_o actual_a and_o real_a offender_n but_o for_o his_o whole_a posterity_n god_n impate_v to_o they_o or_o reckon_v to_o they_o his_o offence_n as_o if_o they_o have_v be_v the_o doer_n of_o it_o second_o we_o be_v to_o know_v that_o in_o the_o word_n death_n there_o be_v imply_v not_o only_o what_o be_v natural_o and_o common_o mean_v thereby_o even_o the_o separation_n of_o the_o soul_n from_o the_o body_n and_o the_o body_n return_v to_o dust_n but_o

and_o to_o all_o kind_n of_o evil._n then_o all_o temporal_a calamity_n and_o evil_n to_o which_o human_a life_n be_v subject_a and_o final_o eternal_a damnation_n all_o these_o be_v imply_v in_o

spiritual_n temporal_a and_o eternal_a but_o we_o mean_v not_o to_o say_v that_o the_o word_n death_n do_v in_o its_o first_o or_o proper_a signification_n import_v all_o the_o abovesaid_a evil_n but_o it_o please_v god_n when_o he_o pass_v sentence_n on_o adam_n to_o extend_v the_o signification_n of_o that_o word_n which_o express_v and_o contain_v the_o penalty_n of_o his_o law_n it_o be_v true_a it_o will_v be_v cry_v out_o on_o as_o most_o unjust_a among_o man_n to_o reckon_v or_o impute_v the_o transgression_n of_o a_o father_n to_o his_o child_n and_o other_o posterity_n and_o much_o more_o if_o they_o be_v punish_v for_o it_o in_o a_o far_o more_o extreme_a manner_n than_o be_v true_o and_o indeed_o imply_v in_o the_o penalty_n annex_v to_o the_o law_n that_o be_v
