his_o manuel_n to_o laur_n cap_n 103._o say_v thus_o god_n will_v have_v all_o to_o be_v save_v not_o because_o there_o be_v no_o man_n which_o he_o will_v have_v damn_v who_o therefore_o will_v not_o

but_o here_o a_o question_n may_v be_v ask_v do_v god_n then_o appoint_v all_o to_o be_v save_v upon_o this_o condition_n if_o they_o believe_v i_o answer_v that_o it_o be_v absurd_a to_o affirm_v this_o for_o first_o by_o that_o mean_v the_o decree_n of_o god_n shall_v depend_v upon_o the_o will_n of_o man_n whereas_o on_o the_o contrary_a god_n decree_n do_v limit_n and_o order_v all_o

destroy_v all_o and_o christ_n merit_n do_v not_o save_v all_o then_o be_v adam_n sin_n more_o forcible_a to_o condemn_v than_o christ_n mercy_n be_v to_o save_v to_o this_o i_o answer_v we_o must_v value_v the_o mercy_n of_o christ_n by_o the_o efficacy_n and_o dignity_n of_o it_o for_o it_o be_v a_o more_o easy_a thing_n to_o destroy_v all_o by_o sin_n then_o by_o grace_n to_o save_v but_o one_o man_n be_v but_o mere_a man_n can_v destroy_v all_o but_o to_o save_v even_o one_o none_o can_v do_v it_o but_o such_o a_o one_o as_o be_v both_o god_n and_o man_n one_o man_n damn_v all_o or_o

which_o purpose_n cause_v no_o necessity_n of_o damnation_n but_o by_o the_o sin_n of_o man_n come_v between_o second_o we_o say_v god_n can_v have_v decree_v that_o even_o all_o man_n shall_v have_v

unto_o man_n then_o unto_o bruit_n beast_n but_o they_o object_n that_o christ_n take_v upon_o he_o the_o nature_n of_o man_n therefore_o he_o redeem_v the_o nature_n of_o man_n and_o so_o by_o
