therefore_o come_v short_a of_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n and_o stand_v in_o need_n of_o mercy_n and_o reconciliation_n by_o christ_n and_o god_n say_v i_o will_v have_v mercy_n on_o who_o i_o will_v

reconciliation_n in_o respect_n of_o all_o man_n yet_o it_o be_v the_o pleasure_n of_o god_n not_o effectual_o to_o bestow_v salvation_n on_o they_o all_o nor_o be_v god_n as_o to_o the_o event_n and_o issue_n of_o this_o at_o all_o unjust_a see_v that_o he_o leave_v they_o only_o to_o wrath_n and_o condemnation_n who_o do_v continue_v unbelieving_a and_o impenitent_a 2._o but_o second_o neither_o will_n that_o follow_v that_o the_o condition_n of_o some_o man_n i._n e._n unbeliever_n must_v be_v the_o same_o with_o that_o of_o the_o devil_n without_o any_o hope_n of_o salvation_n

this_o assertion_n that_o christ_n do_v not_o effectual_o die_v for_o all_o man_n be_v no_o more_o apt_a in_o the_o nature_n of_o it_o to_o cause_v any_o to_o despair_v than_o these_o expression_n
