A77642	Scripture-redemption freed from men's restrictions: being an answer to a book lately published by Mr. William Troughton (who stiles himself a minister of the gospel at Onlep in Leicester-shire) intituled, scripture-redemption restrained and limited: as also the substance of several conferences and disputes had in England, Wales, and Scotland, with Mr. Heath, Mr. Bartley, Mr. Powel, Mr. Sam. Rutherford, and Mr. James Wood, two rectors of the university of S. Andrews, and many others, about the death of our most dear redeemer, and the controversies which are the constant concomitants of it. Together with a brief reply to Mr. Troughton's rayling accusations in his introduction. By J. Brown, sometimes of Orial Coll. in Oxford, afterwards a priest of the Church of England, and vicar of Tenbury in Worcester-shire; but now through mercy a preacher of the faith which once he destroyed.

or_o that_o he_o do_v not_o give_v they_o ability_n to_o receive_v it_o as_o it_o be_v manifest_v and_o so_o follow_v it_o or_o else_o for_o that_o he_o give_v not_o his_o son_n to_o die_v for_o

for_o all_o and_o that_o his_o death_n shall_v be_v a_o sufficient_a price_n for_o all_o be_v never_o intend_v by_o god_n now_o how_o shall_v god_n send_v down_o his_o son_n to_o save_v that_o which_o

except_o we_o shall_v make_v god_n a_o mocker_n of_o his_o poor_a undo_v creature_n as_o mr._n tronghton_n and_o other_o sometime_o do_v in_o another_o place_n you_o shall_v hear_v he_o say_v that_o god_n appoint_v or_o decree_v man_n to_o be_v disobedient_a how_o then_o can_v their_o destruction_n be_v of_o themselves_o yea_o how_o can_v their_o sin_n be_v of_o themselves_o if_o god_n appoint_v
