those_o little_a innocent_a child_n to_o who_o christ_n say_v the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n appertain_v 11._o and_o whereas_o we_o hear_v many_o such_o say_n as_o these_o or_o to_o the_o like_a effect_n the_o way_n be_v broad_a that_o lead_v to_o destruction_n and_o the_o gate_n so_o straight_o which_o give_v admittance_n to_o salvation_n that_o few_o enter_v in_o thereat_o that_o many_o be_v call_v but_o few_o choose_v that_o though_o the_o people_n be_v as_o the_o sand_n of_o the_o sea_n a_o small_a number_n shall_v be_v save_v that_o the_o righteous_a in_o respect_n of_o the_o wicked_a be_v but_o as_o here_o and_o there_o a_o olive-berry_n upon_o the_o bough_n after_o gathering-time_n or_o as_o a_o few_o grape_n after_o the_o vintage_n with_o suchlike_a asseveration_n these_o i_o acknowledge_v to_o be_v true_a yet_o my_o belief_n be_v notwithstanding_o all_o this_o that_o a_o far_o great_a number_n shall_v be_v save_v then_o condemn_v at_o the_o last_o judgement_n for_o i_o can_v believe_v these_o expression_n have_v respect_n to_o all_o mankind_n disperse_v throughout_o the_o world_n from_o the_o begin_n to_o the_o end_n thereof_o but_o as_o relate_v comparative_o to_o those_o only_a who_o be_v and_o be_v member_n of_o those_o visible_a church_n and_o province_n of_o christ_n visible_a kingdom_n upon_o earth_n to_o who_o the_o ordinary_a mean_n of_o salvation_n be_v and_o be_v dispense_v whether_o jew_n or_o christian_n the_o great_a number_n of_o who_o for_o their_o wilful_a neglect_n of_o that_o mean_n for_o their_o turn_v the_o grace_n of_o god_n into_o wantonness_n for_o their_o seek_a gain_n by_o pretend_a godliness_n and_o for_o their_o mere_a formality_n and_o hypocrisy_n shall_v be_v shut_v out_o of_o that_o kingdom_n whereof_o they_o judge_v themselves_o to_o be_v sole_a inheritor_n and_o all_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o world_n to_o be_v castaways_a so_o do_v many_o jew_n believe_v of_o themselves_o heretofore_o and_o so_o do_v many_o christian_n now_o who_o will_v at_o last_o find_v it_o to_o be_v a_o spirit_n of_o self-love_n which_o possess_v they_o produce_v no_o better_a fruit_n than_o the_o apple_n of_o sodom_n be_v say_v to_o be_v these_o as_o i_o conceive_v be_v those_o of_o who_o the_o say_n in_o holy_a scripture_n aforemention_v shall_v be_v verify_v and_o of_o who_o only_o they_o be_v intend_v these_o repute_v themselves_o the_o only_a child_n of_o the_o kingdom_n boast_v of_o their_o privilege_n such_o as_o the_o have_v abraham_n to_o their_o father_n the_o temple_n of_o the_o lord_n or_o the_o word_n and_o sacrament_n of_o the_o gospel_n among_o they_o how_o much_o soever_o abuse_v or_o neglect_v and_o these_o alone_o be_v concern_v in_o those_o place_n of_o holy_a scripture_n which_o declare_v the_o paucity_n of_o that_o number_n who_o shall_v be_v choose_v in_o comparison_n of_o they_o who_o be_v call_v and_o the_o paucity_n of_o those_o among_o they_o who_o shall_v be_v save_v in_o respect_n of_o their_o numerousness_n who_o shall_v perish_v by_o their_o neglect_v or_o abuse_v those_o advantage_n which_o be_v put_v into_o their_o hand_n i_o conceive_v to_o be_v thereby_o mean_v for_o i_o can_v think_v that_o such_o say_n have_v a_o purpose_a relation_n to_o they_o unto_o who_o knowledge_n that_o mean_v neither_o come_v nor_o be_v likely_a to_o come_v whilst_o they_o live_v after_o they_o be_v bear_v into_o the_o world_n such_o in_o particular_a as_o be_v many_o million_o of_o heathen_n in_o the_o remote_a part_n of_o the_o world_n as_o also_o little_a child_n die_v before_o they_o be_v capable_a of_o understanding_n what_o they_o hear_v and_o who_o must_v inavoydable_o and_o everlasting_o perish_v if_o god_n have_v provide_v no_o other_o mean_n of_o their_o salvation_n by_o christ_n then_o such_o a_o way_n of_o preach_v it_o as_o be_v vouchsafe_v to_o we_o 12._o therefore_o in_o my_o judgement_n they_o shall_v have_v little_a hope_n of_o pardon_n for_o their_o many_o actual_a transgression_n who_o know_v god_n have_v provide_v mean_n of_o life_n and_o nourishment_n for_o child_n in_o the_o mother_n womb_n when_o they_o can_v neither_o breathe_v nor_o eat_v as_o when_o they_o be_v bear_v if_o they_o shall_v not_o believe_v that_o god_n who_o be_v infinite_a in_o mercy_n have_v not_o provide_v as_o sufficient_a a_o mean_n to_o nourish_v their_o soul_n and_o body_n to_o eternal_a life_n who_o by_o death_n in_o their_o infancy_n or_o otherways_o be_v without_o their_o personal_a default_n incapable_a of_o the_o ordinary_a mean_n it_o be_v in_o my_o understanding_n so_o great_a a_o injury_n to_o the_o goodness_n and_o mercy_n of_o god_n to_o affirm_v he_o have_v expose_v to_o everlasting_a destruction_n all_o those_o innocent_n by_o leave_v they_o total_o without_o remedy_n that_o they_o seem_v to_o i_o incapable_a of_o forgiveness_n through_o god_n mercy_n to_o they_o until_o they_o repent_v of_o their_o blasphemous_a mis-belief_n of_o his_o fatherly_a compassion_n who_o have_v give_v they_o no_o just_a cause_n to_o imagine_v he_o neglect_v to_o make_v provision_n for_o the_o welfare_n of_o all_o his_o impotent_a child_n therefore_o that_o we_o may_v not_o obstruct_v the_o forgiveness_n of_o our_o debt_n and_o trespass_n which_o we_o pray_v for_o or_o charge_n god_n with_o so_o much_o cruelty_n as_o to_o expose_v his_o own_o child_n by_o creation_n at_o least_o to_o be_v a_o prey_n to_o the_o devil_n and_o which_o be_v more_o abominable_a to_o teach_v other_o man_n to_o believe_v be_v have_v eternal_o decree_v the_o reprobation_n of_o all_o mankind_n except_o a_o very_a few_o in_o comparison_n of_o the_o rest_n i_o will_v endeavour_v to_o make_v it_o more_o evident_a though_o i_o have_v allege_v much_o to_o this_o purpose_n already_o that_o a_o very_a few_o shall_v be_v everlasting_o damn_v in_o respect_n of_o they_o who_o shall_v be_v save_v by_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n in_o jesus_n christ_n and_o that_o this_o be_v sufficient_o provide_v for_o by_o god_n eternal_a decree_n of_o election_n and_o reprobation_n which_o have_v by_o many_o be_v misunderstand_v to_o the_o
