of_o and_o liable_a to_o the_o second_o death_n which_o i_o shall_v prove_v by_o several_a plain_n and_o evident_a reason_n draw_v from_o the_o scripture_n but_o before_o i_o speak_v unto_o it_o be_v

20.14_o for_o i_o do_v believe_v that_o the_o wage_n of_o sin_n be_v death_n but_o as_o there_o be_v a_o twofold_a covenant_n so_o there_o be_v a_o twofold_a death_n viz._n a_o first_o and_o second_o

the_o second_o death_n and_o so_o i_o come_v to_o the_o reason_n to_o prove_v that_o adam_n sin_n in_o paradise_n do_v not_o make_v he_o and_z his_o guilty_a of_o and_o liable_a to_o the_o second_o death_n and_o so_o to_o the_o first_o reason_n which_o be_v reas_n 1._o because_o god_n do_v neither_o threaten_v the_o second_o death_n neither_o do_v he_o pronounce_v a_o second_o death_n or_o any_o thing_n of_o that_o nature_n in_o the_o sentence_n but_o the_o first_o death_n only_o with_o sorrow_n labour_n and_o such_o like_a thing_n as_o the_o punishment_n due_a to_o that_o sin_n and_o first_o we_o may_v read_v the_o threaten_n gen._n 2.17_o in_o these_o word_n but_o of_o the_o tree_n of_o knowledge_n of_o good_a and_o evil_a thou_o shall_v not_o eat_v of_o it_o for_o in_o the_o day_n

of_o the_o soul_n for_o ever_o or_o a_o second_o death_n because_o adam_n die_v not_o in_o his_o body_n or_o the_o bodily_a death_n that_o day_n which_o he_o sin_v but_o live_v many_o day_n afterward_o answ_n in_o answer_n to_o this_o objection_n consider_v these_o two_o thing_n the_o first_o be_v that_o one_o day_n with_o the_o lord_n be_v as_o a_o thousand_o year_n and_o a_o thousand_o

shall_v prove_v it_o by_o sircumlocution_n or_o plain_a reason_n draw_v from_o the_o scripture_n and_o the_o first_o be_v reas_n 1._o first_o because_o god_n have_v swear_v by_o himself_o because_o he_o can_v swear_v by_o no_o great_a that_o he_o desire_v not_o the_o death_n of_o such_o as_o die_v or_o of_o the_o wicked_a but_o tell_v they_o that_o their_o destruction_n be_v of_o themselves_o as_o ezek._n 33.11_o in_o these_o word_n say_v unto_o they_o as_o i_o live_v say_v the_o lord_n god_n i_o have_v no_o pleasure_n in_o the_o death_n of_o the_o wicked_a but_o that_o he_o will_v turn_v from_o his_o wicked_a way_n and_o live_v turn_v you_o turn_v you_o from_o your_o evil_a way_n for_o why_o will_v you_o die_v o_o house_n of_o israel_n and_o woe_n be_v to_o thou_o jerusalem_n will_v thou_o not_o be_v make_v clean_o when_o shall_v it_o once_o be_v thy_o destruction_n be_v of_o thyself_o thy_o wickedness_n have_v procure_v it_o jer._n 13.22_o 27._o from_o whence_o we_o may_v see_v that_o god_n be_v so_o far_o from_o decree_a any_o man_n damnation_n simple_o of_o his_o own_o will_n unless_o in_o reference_n to_o their_o reject_v of_o grace_n tender_v that_o he_o have_v enter_v into_o a_o oath_n before_o the_o son_n of_o man_n not_o to_o desire_v their_o ruin_n unless_o they_o resist_v his_o spirit_n in_o the_o tender_v of_o grace_n which_o show_v that_o he_o give_v his_o son_n to_o die_v for_o such_o as_o perish_v for_o without_o blood_n there_o be_v no_o remission_n of_o sin_n so_o then_o there_o can_v be_v a_o tender_a of_o the_o gospel_n which_o be_v remission_n of_o sin_n to_o such_o for_o who_o christ_n die_v not_o but_o more_o of_o that_o anon_o i_o pass_v at_o present_a to_o the_o second_o reason_n to_o prove_v that_o god_n give_v christ_n to_o die_v for_o all_o man_n to_o bring_v they_o to_o a_o resurrection_n and_o glory_n as_o before_o say_v which_o be_v reas_n 2._o second_o because_o as_o god_n have_v swear_v not_o to_o take_v pleasure_n in_o the_o death_n of_o they_o that_o die_v so_o he_o have_v also_o say_v that_o it_o be_v good_a and_o acceptable_a in_o his_o sight_n and_o well_o please_v to_o he_o to_o have_v all_o man_n have_v salvation_n and_o to_o that_o end_n christ_n die_v as_o you_o may_v read_v 1_o tim._n 2.1_o 2_o 3_o 4_o 5_o 6._o in_o these_o word_n i_o exhort_v therefore_o first_o of_o all_o supplication_n prayer_n

all_o godliness_n and_o honesty_n for_o this_o be_v good_a and_o acceptable_a in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n our_o saviour_n who_o will_v have_v all_z man_n to_o be_v save_v and_o come_v to_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o truth_n for_o there_o be_v one_o god_n and_o one_o mediator_n between_o god_n and_o man_n the_o man_n christ_n jesus_n who_o give_v himself_o a_o ransom_n for_o all_o to_o be_v testify_v in_o due_a time_n from_o whence_o we_o may_v see_v that_o first_o as_o god_n have_v swear_v by_o himself_o that_o he_o desire_v not_o the_o death_n of_o the_o wicked_a second_o that_o he_o also_o say_v he_o will_v have_v all_o man_n save_v and_o that_o they_o may_v be_v save_v he_o say_v that_o he_o give_v christ_n to_o be_v a_o ransom_n for_o all_o man_n so_o that_o from_o these_o two_o reason_n you_o may_v see_v god_n love_n to_o all_o man_n extend_v and_o i_o pass_v to_o the_o three_o reason_n which_o be_v reas_n 3._o three_o because_o god_n have_v command_v the_o gospel_n to_o be_v declare_v to_o all_o man_n and_o condemn_v such_o as_o believe_v it_o not_o and_o the_o gospel_n be_v to_o be_v understand_v good_a news_n viz._n remission_n of_o sin_n and_o salvation_n by_o christ_n blood_n and_o command_v man_n to_o believe_v it_o upon_o pain_n of_o eternal_a wrath_n but_o if_o christ_n do_v not_o die_v for_o every_o man_n to_o who_o the_o gospel_n be_v command_v to_o be_v preach_v than_o a_o lie_n be_v command_v to_o be_v preach_v to_o the_o great_a part_n of_o man_n and_o they_o damn_v because_o they_o believe_v and_o receive_v it_o not_o the_o which_o to_o say_v be_v ridiculous_a and_o blasphemy_n but_o that_o you_o may_v see_v that_o this_o be_v true_a consider_v well_o that_o if_o there_o be_v a_o command_n give_v to_o christ_n minister_n to_o preach_v the_o gospel_n to_o every_o man_n that_o be_v to_o say_v in_o plain_a english_a that_o christ_n die_v for_o their_o sin_n and_o rise_v again_o for_o their_o justification_n and_o yet_o christ_n do_v not_o die_v for_o every_o man_n than_o this_o be_v to_o command_v a_o lie_n to_o be_v preach_v to_o the_o great_a part_n of_o man_n and_o they_o damn_v for_o not_o believe_v of_o it_o if_o christ_n only_o dye_v for_o a_o few_o as_o some_o say_v the_o which_o so_o to_o say_v be_v wickedness_n and_o then_o also_o those_o that_o be_v damn_v for_o not_o believe_v the_o gospel_n be_v

the_o gospel_n be_v to_o be_v preach_v to_o every_o creature_n and_o man_n to_o believe_v it_o upon_o penalty_n of_o condemnation_n read_v mark_v 16.15_o 16._o in_o these_o word_n and_o he_o say_v

but_o he_o that_o believe_v not_o shall_v be_v damn_v from_o whence_o we_o may_v see_v that_o the_o gospel_n namely_o the_o good_a news_n of_o salvation_n through_o christ_n blood_n be_v to_o be_v preach_v to_o every_o man_n and_o whosoever_o do_v not_o believe_v it_o namely_o that_o there_o be_v life_n and_o remission_n of_o sin_n for_o they_o through_o christ_n blood_n be_v to_o be_v damn_v because_o they_o make_v god_n a_o liar_n john_n 3_o chap._n 8._o 1_o john_n 5.10_o these_o well_o consider_v show_v that_o god_n do_v give_v his_o son_n the_o lord_n jesus_n to_o die_v for_o every_o man_n as_o before_o say_v and_o so_o i_o pass_v to_o the_o four_o reason_n which_o be_v reas_n 4._o four_o because_o it_o be_v very_o plain_a that_o so_o many_o as_o be_v make_v sinner_n by_o the_o first_o adam_n so_o many_o be_v make_v righteous_a by_o the_o second_o adam_n and_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o all_o be_v make_v sinner_n by_o the_o first_o adam_n ergo_fw-la all_o be_v make_v

all_z be_v make_v righteous_a by_o christ_n and_o if_o so_o then_o it_o do_v follow_v undeniable_o that_o god_n give_v christ_n to_o die_v for_o every_o man_n and_o that_o the_o premise_n be_v true_a read_v the_o word_n of_o saint_n paul_n rom._n 5.18_o 19_o which_o say_v therefore_o as_o by_o the_o offence_n of_o one_o judgement_n come_v upon_o all_o man_n to_o condemnation_n even_o so_o by_o the_o righteousness_n the_o free_a gift_n come_v upon_o all_o man_n unto_o justification_n of_o life_n for_o as_o by_o one_o man_n disobedience_n many_o be_v make_v sinner_n so_o by_o the_o

unto_o he_o that_o he_o may_v prophesy_v again_o before_o nation_n tongue_n and_o king_n and_o the_o like_a but_o also_o he_o be_v the_o man_n that_o be_v to_o measure_n jerusalem_n at_o the_o time_n
