this_o mercy_n of_o god_n to_o man_n though_o in_o a_o sinful_a condition_n but_o then_o we_o must_v distinguish_v between_o the_o general_a love_n of_o god_n and_o his_o special_a love_n between_o his_o love_n of_o benevolence_n and_o love_n of_o complacency_n as_o some_o express_v it_o god_n do_v love_v all_o mankind_n with_o a_o general_a love_n or_o love_n of_o benevolence_n so_o as_o to_o

we_o in_o christ_n and_o this_o be_v only_o to_o some_o of_o mankind_n as_o the_o scripture_n in_o many_o place_n do_v show_v and_o yet_o we_o must_v add_v that_o when_o any_o be_v damn_v we_o can_v
