A86420	Fourteen queries and ten absurdities about the extent of Christ's death, the power of the creatures, the justice of God in condemning some, and saving others, presented by a free-willer to the Church of Christ at Newcastle, and answered by Paul Hobson a member of the said Church. In which answer is discovered, the extent of Christs death, the nature and truth of election, the condition of the creature both before and after conversion, &c. Published in tenderness of love for the good of all, especially for the Churches of Christ.	Hobson, Paul.	1655 (1655)	Wing H2273; Thomason E1492_4; ESTC R208520	40,720	127

of_o your_o second_o absurdity_n answer_v this_o and_o the_o truth_n be_v the_o reading_z of_o either_o be_v sufficient_a to_o make_v a_o gracious_a heart_n to_o blush_v it_o be_v a_o language_n the_o

to_o say_v any_o more_o for_o i_o have_v clear_o show_v what_o be_v the_o meritorious_a cause_n of_o damnation_n and_o how_o just_a god_n be_v in_o do_v of_o it_o not_o condemn_v the_o creature_n
