but_o have_v everlasting_a life_n object_n we_o do_v not_o plead_v for_o a_o absolute_a universal_a redemption_n but_o for_o a_o conditional_a one_o that_o be_v so_o that_o if_o all_o repent_v act_n

thus_o 1._o i_o argue_v then_o that_o christ_n be_v but_o a_o conditional_a redeemer_n and_o have_v only_o make_v a_o conditional_a peace_n i._n e._n he_o make_v our_o peace_n and_o pay_v our_o debt_n upon_o this_o condition_n viz._n that_o we_o repent_v change_v our_o own_o heart_n or_o be_v regenerate_v and_o get_v faith_n and_o sincere_a obedience_n and_o continue_v holy_a and_o obedient_a to_o the_o end_n 2._o moreover_o this_o notion_n of_o a_o conditional_a peace_n and_o redemption_n render_v our_o salvation_n not_o to_o be_v of_o god_n free_a grace_n alone_o through_o that_o redemption_n that_o be_v in_o jesus_n christ_n but_o that_o we_o procure_v our_o peace_n or_o make_v it_o with_o god_n ourselves_o with_o our_o own_o money_n i._n e._n by_o our_o repentance_n faith_n holiness_n and_o final_a perseverance_n and_o that_o christ_n only_o merit_v or_o purchase_v this_o grant_n that_o our_o money_n i._n e._n our_o faith_n obedience_n etc._n etc._n shall_v go_v for_o good_a coin_n in_o heaven_n and_o procure_v our_o justification_n peace_n and_o eternal_a life_n for_o we_o and_o thus_o the_o glory_n that_o we_o be_v save_v will_v not_o belong_v to_o god_n and_o jesus_n christ_n alone_o true_a that_o we_o may_v be_v save_v we_o may_v thank_v god_n and_o christ_n god_n by_o the_o death_n of_o his_o son_n be_v make_v reconcilable_a but_o that_o we_o be_v save_v we_o may_v thank_v ourselves_o christ_n do_v no_o more_o for_o we_o that_o be_v save_v than_o he_o do_v for_o they_o that_o perish_v but_o only_o we_o have_v more_o wit_n and_o care_n than_o they_o have_v i._n e._n for_o by_o improve_n our_o common_a grace_n god_n be_v oblige_v to_o give_v we_o his_o special_a grace_n 3._o after_o this_o notion_n christ_n may_v be_v or_o may_v not_o be_v a_o redeemer_n at_o all_o our_o peace_n may_v or_o may_v not_o be_v make_v with_o god_n because_o it_o whole_o depend_v upon_o the_o will_n of_o man_n man_n will_n determine_v the_o issue_n of_o the_o whole_a matter_n not_o that_o christ_n undertake_v to_o how_o our_o will_n or_o reconcile_v we_o to_o god_n no_o but_o that_o we_o ourselves_o must_v answer_v the_o condition_n of_o repentance_n faith_n obedience_n etc._n etc._n or_o else_o all_o that_o christ_n have_v do_v be_v lose_v and_o come_v to_o nothing_o and_o why_o may_v not_o all_o refuse_v to_o do_v this_o as_o well_o as_o some_o who_o never_o will_v believe_v etc._n etc._n christ_n shall_v be_v a_o redeemer_n and_o make_v our_o peace_n if_o we_o please_v this_o put_v a_o bar_n to_o the_o purchaser_n as_o one_o observe_v a_o man_n can_v in_o any_o good_a sense_n be_v call_v a_o redeemer_n of_o such_o person_n out_o of_o slavery_n till_o the_o person_n perform_v those_o condition_n upon_o which_o he_o lay_v down_o the_o price_n as_o for_o example_n say_v he_o i_o lay_v down_o a_o hundred_o pound_n for_o the_o redemption_n of_o a_o person_n in_o slavery_n upon_o this_o condition_n that_o he_o yield_v to_o serve_v i_o seven_o year_n after_o i_o must_v have_v his_o consent_n before_o i_o can_v redeem_v he_o and_o therefore_o upon_o these_o condition_n i_o be_o certain_o suspend_v from_o be_v a_o redeemer_n nay_o and_o be_o no_o redeemer_n of_o such_o person_n if_o they_o refuse_v the_o term_n so_o that_o for_o christ_n to_o be_v a_o universal_a redeemer_n be_v a_o contradiction_n for_o it_o be_v to_o be_v a_o redeemer_n of_o all_o if_o they_o please_v but_o can_v be_v a_o redeemer_n of_o none_o but_o of_o such_o that_o consent_v to_o the_o term_n propose_v 4._o beside_o this_o cast_v horrid_a reproach_n upon_o the_o son_n of_o god_n as_o if_o he_o have_v do_v some_o great_a thing_n for_o we_o in_o die_v and_o make_v our_o peace_n when_o indeed_o according_a to_o this_o notion_n he_o do_v but_o deceive_v poor_a creature_n for_o he_o have_v make_v their_o peace_n and_o redeem_a they_o if_o they_o will_v but_o get_v out_o of_o satan_n hand_n and_o break_v his_o chain_n and_o bond_n in_o piece_n and_o raise_v themselves_o from_o the_o dead_a and_o change_v their_o own_o heart_n etc._n etc._n whereas_o he_o know_v we_o be_v no_o more_o able_a to_o do_v this_o than_o to_o create_v a_o new_a world_n therefore_o brethren_n pray_v observe_v we_o affirm_v that_o whatsoever_o condition_n be_v agree_v upon_o in_o the_o covenant_n of_o peace_n our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n undertake_v to_o do_v and_o perform_v they_o all_o both_o for_o we_o and_o also_o in_o we_o i_o will_v give_v they_o a_o new_a heart_n 27._o i_o will_v take_v away_o the_o stony_a heart_n and_o i_o will_v give_v they_o a_o heart_n of_o flesh_n i_o will_v put_v my_o fear_n into_o their_o heart_n and_o they_o shall_v not_o depart_v from_o i_o 31.33_o i_o will_v circumcise_v their_o heart_n to_o love_v the_o lord_n their_o

will_n of_o man_n but_o of_o god_n to_o believe_v be_v our_o duty_n but_o it_o be_v christ_n that_o give_v we_o grace_n and_o power_n so_o to_o do_v and_o this_o grace_n be_v also_o purchase_v for_o

speak_v of_o beside_o they_o be_v condition_n out_o of_o their_o power_n to_o perform_v 6._o moreover_o i_o may_v argue_v thus_o i._n e._n if_o christ_n die_v for_o all_o he_o intend_v to_o save_v all_o but_o he_o never_o intend_v to_o save_v all_o therefore_o he_o die_v not_o for_o all_o who_o shall_v frustrate_v his_o purpose_n or_o intention_n 7._o that_o purchase_n of_o peace_n and_o
