and_o so_o be_v save_v see_v as_o be_v suppose_v god_n do_v absolute_o bestow_v save_v faith_n upon_o they_o if_o conditional_o then_o see_v faith_n be_v the_o condition_n by_o the_o adversary_n own_o

how_o then_o come_v it_o to_o be_v a_o thing_n actual_a when_o yet_o it_o be_v impossible_a i_o confess_v that_o object_n will_v be_v worth_a the_o see_n that_o be_v at_o once_o actual_a and_o yet_o impossible_a four_o if_o christ_n by_o his_o death_n redeem_v all_o man_n whatsoever_o only_o upon_o condition_n of_o believe_v and_o otherwise_o redeem_a they_o not_o than_o he_o by_o his_o death_n redeem_v only_a believer_n and_o none_o else_o as_o be_v manifest_a but_o all_o man_n whatsoever_o be_v not_o believer_n therefore_o christ_n do_v not_o by_o his_o death_n redeem_v all_o man_n whatsoever_o from_o the_o adversary_n own_o principle_n and_o yet_o they_o contend_v that_o christ_n by_o his_o death_n redeem_v all_o man_n whatsoever_o and_o so_o they_o direct_o contradict_v themselves_o and_o their_o universal_a conditional_a redemption_n be_v repugnant_a last_o for_o i_o will_v stand_v no_o long_o upon_o a_o negative_a especial_o if_o christ_n die_v for_o all_o man_n whatsoever_o give_v it_o what_o name_n they_o will_v than_o he_o satisfy_v justice_n for_o all_o man_n sin_n whatsoever_o but_o the_o consequent_a be_v most_o false_a and_o absurd_a therefore_o so_o be_v the_o antecedent_n from_o which_o it_o follow_v the_o falsehood_n of_o the_o consequent_a and_o its_o absurdity_n be_v obvious_a for_o if_o christ_n satisfy_v justice_n for_o all_o man_n sin_n whatsoever_o then_o all_o reprobate_n be_v most_o unjust_o condemn_v see_v their_o sin_n for_o which_o they_o be_v condemn_v be_v by_o christ_n satisfy_v for_o and_o so_o their_o condemnation_n be_v a_o act_n of_o great_a injustice_n do_v both_o to_o christ_n and_o they_o which_o can_v be_v charge_v upon_o god_n without_o extreme_a blasphemy_n i_o prove_v the_o connexion_n of_o the_o major_n because_o the_o very_a immediate_a end_n and_o intention_n of_o christ_n die_v for_o any_o man_n be_v to_o satisfy_v justice_n for_o his_o sin_n as_o appear_v from_o isaia_n 53_o 8_o 9_o 10._o mat._n

otherwise_o not_o unto_o this_o i_o shall_v subsume_v that_o not_o all_o man_n whatsoever_o believe_v but_o only_o some_o few_o therefore_o from_o the_o enemy_n own_o principle_n he_o do_v not_o satisfy_v for_o all_o man_n sin_n whatsoever_o but_o only_o for_o believer_n sin_n and_o none_o else_o and_o so_o their_o principle_n involve_v a_o contradiction_n viz._n he_o satisfy_v for_o all_o
