A61301 The love of God to all mankind in the glorious work of their redemption by Jesus Christ, asserted and vindicated. With a plain and sober discussion of those controversies which are the constant concomitants of it, viz. election and reprobation, God's foreknowledg, his nature, attributes, and decrees; the sufficiency of means vouchsafed to all men to believe; the use of the law to believers under the gospel. Also concerning original sin, freewill, and falling from grace. All fitted to the meanest capacity, in a way of dialogue, by Zachary Stanton. Stanton, Zachary. 1700 (1700) Wing S5251A; ESTC R219675 159,700 342

break_v off_o at_o this_o time_n only_o give_v i_o leave_v to_o ask_v you_o and_o your_o friend_n martha_n this_o question_n viz._n what_o be_v the_o reason_n you_o go_v about_o to_o persuade_v

before_o the_o foundation_n of_o the_o world_n philad_n i_o suppose_v that_o you_o must_v needs_o have_v a_o high_a opinion_n of_o yourself_o that_o you_o be_v one_o of_o the_o darling_n of_o heaven_n one_o beyond_o all_o possibility_n of_o miscarry_v one_o that_o shall_v never_o behold_v the_o angry_a countenance_n of_o the_o almighty_a otherwise_o i_o believe_v you_o will_v be_v glad_a to_o
