most_o excellent_a argument_n and_o reason_n why_o we_o shall_v so_o do_v the_o great_a of_o which_o be_v take_v from_o these_o word_n which_o be_v contain_v in_o the_o text_n because_o god_n so_o love_v we_o that_o he_o give_v his_o son_n for_o we_o unto_o death_n and_o christ_n so_o love_v we_o that_o he_o give_v himself_o to_o die_v for_o we_o therefore_o we_o ought_v to_o love_v he_o and_o serve_v he_o and_o live_v to_o he_o who_o die_v for_o we_o and_o rose_n again_o and_o also_o to_o god_n the_o father_n through_o he_o and_o with_o he_o christ_n die_v for_o we_o be_v such_o a_o argument_n why_o we_o shall_v be_v whole_o he_o and_o whole_o love_v he_o and_o live_v to_o he_o that_o it_o be_v our_o duty_n so_o to_o do_v not_o only_o in_o point_n of_o gratitude_n but_o in_o point_n of_o justice_n and_o this_o both_o st._n paul_n and_o st._n peter_n do_v argue_v with_o they_o to_o who_o they_o write_v 1_o cor._n 6.20_o for_o you_o be_v buy_v with_o a_o price_n therefore_o glorify_v god_n in_o your_o body_n and_o in_o your_o spirit_n which_o be_v god_n and_o v._o 19_o you_o be_v not_o your_o own_o and_o 1_o pet._n 1.18_o for_o as_o much_o as_o you_o know_v you_o be_v not_o redeem_a with_o corruptible_a thing_n as_o silver_n and_o gold_n from_o your_o vain_a conversation_n receive_v by_o tradition_n from_o your_o father_n but_o with_o the_o precious_a blood_n of_o christ_n as_o of_o a_o lamb_n without_o blemish_n and_o without_o spot_n and_o 1_o pet._n 2.24_o who_o his_o own_o self_n bear_v our_o sin_n in_o his_o own_o body_n on_o the_o tree_n that_o we_o be_v

blessing_n of_o this_o life_n be_v argument_n very_a convince_a and_o persuade_v why_o we_o shall_v serve_v and_o glorify_v god_n and_o the_o consideration_n of_o his_o glorious_a greatness_n and_o power_n in_o his_o create_v all_o thing_n and_o uphold_v they_o and_o of_o his_o most_o wise_a and_o just_o and_o powerful_a providence_n in_o the_o government_n of_o the_o world_n obvious_a and_o apparent_a to_o the_o eye_n of_o all_o mankind_n ought_v great_o to_o move_v all_o man_n to_o fear_n and_o reverence_n he_o as_o well_o as_o to_o love_n and_o serve_v he_o to_o their_o utmost_a

take_v from_o the_o power_n wisdom_n goodness_n and_o justice_n of_o god_n and_o other_o his_o glorious_a attribute_n that_o be_v clear_o to_o be_v see_v by_o his_o work_n of_o creation_n and_o providence_n obvious_a to_o heathen_n both_o more_o clear_o and_o abundant_o out_o of_o the_o holy_a scripture_n but_o with_o great_a argument_n than_o these_o take_v from_o the_o great_a work_n of_o our_o redemption_n by_o christ_n die_v for_o we_o etc._n etc._n it_o move_v we_o to_o love_n and_o fear_v god_n and_o live_v to_o he_o and_o to_o christ_n who_o die_v for_o we_o and_o be_v both_o his_o own_o and_o the_o father_n gift_n unto_o we_o most_o free_o give_v for_o our_o eternal_a salvation_n but_o that_o the_o argument_n take_v from_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n may_v be_v the_o more_o effectual_a to_o persuade_v we_o to_o live_v to_o he_o who_o die_v for_o we_o let_v we_o consider_v the_o excellent_a way_n of_o the_o apostle_n argue_v here_o in_o the_o text_n which_o he_o

from_o this_o that_o christ_n die_v for_o all_o for_o if_o all_o have_v not_o be_v dead_a in_o sin_n and_o transgression_n as_o well_o as_o subject_a to_o bodily_a death_n christ_n have_v not_o die_v for_o all_o for_o it_o be_v not_o needful_a that_o he_o shall_v die_v for_o they_o who_o be_v not_o dead_a it_o be_v a_o good_a rule_n in_o divinity_n that_o the_o word_n of_o scripture_n ought_v to_o

the_o gospel_n be_v preach_v to_o receive_v that_o high_a dignity_n and_o privilege_n to_o which_o they_o be_v call_v and_o without_o this_o universal_a offer_n to_o all_o who_o have_v the_o gospel_n

of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n we_o must_v receive_v god_n promise_n in_o such_o wise_a as_o they_o be_v general_o set_v forth_o to_o we_o in_o holy_a scripture_n but_o to_o teach_v that_o

in_o scripture_n that_o god_n by_o any_o absolute_a decree_n have_v make_v salvation_n impossible_a to_o any_o part_n of_o mankind_n for_o such_o a_o absolute_a decree_n be_v utter_o inconsistent_a with_o christ_n die_v for_o all_o men._n the_o decree_n of_o god_n some_o be_v absolute_a and_o some_o be_v conditional_a i_o mean_v conditional_a not_o subjective_o but_o objective_o i._n e._n not_o that_o there_o be_v two_o will_n or_o decree_n in_o god_n the_o latter_a depend_v upon_o the_o former_a conditional_o but_o by_o one_o and_o the_o same_o eternal_a act_n of_o god_n will_n and_o

show_v that_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n as_o have_v die_v for_o all_o will_v be_v the_o more_o effectual_a to_o work_v upon_o we_o by_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n to_o move_v we_o to_o live_v to_o he_o who_o die_v for_o we_o that_o we_o believe_v he_o die_v for_o all_o and_o consequent_o for_o we_o and_o that_o in_o love_n to_o all_o let_v i_o a_o little_a yet_o further_o set_v forth_o his_o
