except_o all_o man_n have_v a_o sufficient_a ground_n to_o believe_v that_o there_o be_v redemption_n and_o salvation_n for_o they_o in_o jesus_n christ_n they_o be_v not_o bind_v to_o believe_v on_o he_o as_o a_o saviour_n or_o to_o depend_v upon_o he_o for_o salvation_n and_o if_o man_n have_v a_o sufficient_a ground_n to_o believe_v that_o there_o be_v redemption_n and_o salvation_n for_o they_o in_o christ_n and_o that_o if_o they_o come_v unto_o he_o for_o it_o they_o shall_v partake_v of_o it_o then_o must_v it_o need_v be_v a_o truth_n that_o he_o have_v these_o thing_n for_o

this_o proposition_n be_v so_o plain_a so_o obvious_a to_o every_o man_n capacity_n and_o understanding_n yea_o to_o common_a sense_n itself_o that_o i_o can_v well_o suspect_v the_o least_o

notwithstanding_o if_o any_o shall_v object_v and_o say_v it_o be_v true_a if_o christ_n die_v not_o sufficient_o for_o all_o man_n all_o man_n be_v not_o bind_v to_o believe_v in_o he_o for_o salvation_n but_o we_o grant_v that_o in_o this_o sense_n viz._n sufficient_o he_o do_v die_v for_o all_o men._n and_o this_o be_v a_o sufficient_a ground_n to_o oblige_v all_o man_n to_o believe_v on_o he_o for_o salvation_n though_o he_o die_v not_o intentional_o for_o they_o to_o this_o i_o answer_v 1._o by_o demand_v what_o man_n mean_v in_o say_v that_o christ_n die_v sufficient_o for_o all_o man_n in_o opposition_n to_o his_o die_a intentional_o for_o they_o if_o they_o say_v they_o mean_v that_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n simple_o and_o in_o itself_o consider_v be_v or_o be_v sufficient_a to_o redeem_v and_o save_v all_o man_n as_o well_o as_o those_o who_o be_v redeem_v and_o save_v by_o it_o but_o be_v not_o intend_v by_o god_n or_o by_o christ_n for_o any_o such_o end_n or_o purpose_n as_o the_o redemption_n of_o all_o i_o answer_v if_o so_o then_o be_v that_o redundancy_n or_o overplus_n of_o merit_n or_o atonement_n in_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n which_o remain_v over_o and_o above_o what_o be_v necessary_a for_o the_o redemption_n of_o those_o for_o who_o it_o be_v intend_v and_o who_o be_v actual_o redeem_v by_o it_o suffer_v by_o god_n to_o run_v to_o waste_v and_o to_o be_v like_o water_n spill_v upon_o the_o ground_n and_o if_o so_o then_o be_v there_o but_o a_o very_a small_a quantity_n or_o proportion_n of_o the_o worth_n and_o value_n of_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n intend_v by_o god_n for_o use_n or_o to_o do_v either_o himself_o or_o his_o creature_n any_o service_n in_o comparison_n of_o what_o vanish_v into_o the_o air_n and_o be_v throw_v behind_o his_o back_n as_o good_a for_o nothing_o for_o if_o there_o be_v a_o sufficiency_n in_o it_o for_o all_o those_o who_o be_v not_o redeem_v by_o it_o these_o be_v a_o far_o great_a number_n than_o those_o who_o be_v or_o be_v suppose_v to_o be_v actual_o redeem_v by_o it_o it_o must_v needs_o follow_v that_o if_o that_o proportion_n of_o it_o which_o be_v sufficient_a for_o they_o be_v not_o design_v or_o intend_v by_o god_n for_o they_o that_o far_o the_o great_a part_n of_o it_o be_v design_v by_o he_o unto_o vanity_n and_o to_o no_o more_o honour_n then_o that_o

be_v intend_v for_o their_o condemnation_n and_o so_o not_o lose_v i_o answer_v that_o this_o be_v yet_o worse_o and_o more_o unreasonable_a than_o the_o other_o for_o 1._o may_v not_o man_n as_o
