belong_v be_v but_o for_o the_o sake_n and_o subordinate_v to_o the_o welfare_n of_o particular_a christian_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v necessary_a that_o christ_n shall_v first_o intend_v the_o

i_o leave_v to_o illustrate_v this_o matter_n yet_o further_o by_o this_o similitude_n let_v we_o consider_v christ_n as_o the_o general_a of_o a_o army_n who_o be_v by_o the_o apostle_n call_v the_o captain_n of_o our_o salvation_n and_o the_o church_n under_o he_o as_o a_o army_n under_o several_a officer_n for_o their_o better_a order_n and_o government_n and_o all_o particular_a christian_n as_o so_o many_o particular_a soldier_n now_o let_v we_o consider_v the_o several_a end_n which_o a_o general_n have_v in_o gather_v his_o soldier_n into_o a_o army_n and_o which_o end_n be_v more_o principal_o intend_v and_o which_o end_n less_o principal_o or_o subordinate_o intend_v his_o first_o end_n be_v to_o subdue_v his_o enemy_n to_o the_o praise_n of_o his_o justice_n and_o valour_n the_o next_o end_n intend_v be_v the_o preservation_n of_o his_o soldier_n without_o which_o the_o more_o principal_a end_n can_v be_v obtain_v and_o that_o which_o be_v a_o end_n subordinate_a to_o both_o these_o be_v the_o keep_v his_o soldier_n in_o union_n and_o order_n under_o their_o several_a officer_n for_o without_o this_o union_n and_o order_n the_o particular_a soldier_n can_v so_o well_o be_v preserve_v so_o that_o here_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o the_o unite_n of_o his_o man_n and_o keep_v they_o under_o discipline_n be_v subordinate_o intend_v for_o the_o preservation_n of_o particular_n in_o like_a manner_n god_n in_o christ_n design_v to_o save_v sinner_n first_o he_o intend_v the_o praise_n of_o his_o glorious_a grace_n second_o he_o intend_v the_o salvation_n of_o particular_a sinner_n by_o regenerate_v and_o pardon_v of_o they_o and_o last_o he_o intend_v the_o collection_n of_o they_o into_o a_o body_n or_o body_n under_o discipline_n for_o their_o better_a

hence_o be_v this_o that_o this_o author_n be_v much_o mistake_v when_o he_o say_v that_o christ_n do_v primary_o intend_v the_o salvation_n of_o his_o church_n and_o secondary_o the_o salvation_n of_o particular_a christian_n cujus_fw-la contrarium_fw-la verum_fw-la est_fw-la as_o i_o have_v show_v we_o shall_v now_o further_o consider_v what_o he_o have_v say_v for_o the_o confirmation_n of_o this_o his_o nation_n concern_v christ_n primary_n intention_n to_o save_v his_o church_n etc._n etc._n this_o say_v he_o be_v no_o more_o than_o what_o be_v the_o sense_n and_o language_n of_o the_o

title_n to_o the_o privilege_n of_o the_o gospel_n i_o answer_v it_o be_v a_o wonder_n to_o i_o to_o see_v the_o author_n otherwise_o a_o person_n of_o good_a ability_n so_o strange_o mislead_v into_o the_o confidence_n of_o a_o conclusion_n that_o be_v raise_v upon_o such_o palpable_a mistake_a principal_n he_o say_v that_o what_o ever_o christ_n have_v do_v and_o suffer_v for_o mankind_n he_o have_v do_v it_o for_o they_o not_o as_o scatter_a individual_n but_o as_o incorporate_v into_o a_o church_n i_o perceive_v by_o this_o that_o the_o author_n be_v not_o for_o universal_a redemption_n as_o some_o of_o his_o brethren_n be_v for_o i_o can_v see_v how_o christ_n die_v for_o all_o be_v consistent_a with_o christ_n die_v for_o man_n consider_v as_o incorporate_v into_o his_o church_n for_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o the_o great_a number_n of_o individual_n that_o have_v be_v or_o be_v in_o the_o world_n be_v or_o be_v not_o like_a to_o be_v so_o incorporate_v yet_o further_o certain_o the_o author_n do_v run_v himself_o and_o his_o reader_n into_o much_o confusion_n for_o want_n of_o a_o regular_a state_v of_o the_o several_a aspect_n which_o christ_n suffering_n have_v to_o mankind_n as_o they_o fall_v under_o divers_a consideration_n as_o first_o if_o mankind_n be_v consider_v as_o lapse_v into_o a_o state_n of_o sin_n and_o death_n so_o they_o be_v say_v to_o be_v enemy_n to_o god_n and_o righteousness_n dead_a in_o trespass_n and_o sin_n without_o god_n without_o hope_n i_o hope_v the_o author_n do_v not_o take_v man_n so_o consider_v as_o in_o any_o church_n state_n and_o yet_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o according_a to_o scripture_n christ_n suffer_v be_v with_o relation_n to_o man_n as_o such_o rom._n 5.8_o god_n commend_v his_o love_n towards_o we_o

now_o have_v he_o reconcile_v in_o the_o body_n of_o his_o flesh_n through_o death_n in_o these_o text_n it_o be_v evident_a that_o christ_n death_n respect_a man_n as_o incoporate_v in_o the_o
