the_o partition-wall_n thereby_o for_o the_o gentile_n to_o be_v incorporate_v into_o one_o church_n visible_a and_o a_o power_n in_o christ_n himself_o to_o dispense_v all_o assistance_n necessary_a

i_o have_v name_v i_o leave_v to_o the_o understanding_n to_o give_v judgement_n neither_o be_v we_o to_o forget_v that_o our_o redemption_n in_o scripture_n be_v say_v to_o be_v from_o sin_n and_o the_o devil_n as_o well_o as_o from_o the_o law_n for_o the_o one_o be_v the_o foundation_n of_o the_o other_o when_o man_n fall_v from_o god_n the_o devil_n obtain_v a_o right_a and_o dominion_n over_o he_o this_o be_v not_o a_o right_a as_o lord_n and_o proprietour_n but_o as_o gaoler_n and_o executioner_n that_o be_v by_o virtue_n of_o that_o sentence_n which_o the_o law_n as_o the_o

devil_n hold_v thereby_o must_v cease_v with_o it_o in_o the_o cessation_n of_o this_o right_n as_o the_o slave_n who_o be_v redeem_v from_o his_o slavery_n be_v redeem_v also_o from_o the_o work_n which_o he_o live_v in_o as_o a_o slave_n so_o must_v all_o mankind_n be_v redeem_v from_o sin_n only_o this_o redemption_n must_v be_v distinguish_v in_o regard_n of_o title_n and_o in_o regard_n of_o possession_n it_o follow_v not_o because_o the_o world_n lie_v in_o wickedness_n and_o the_o prince_n of_o the_o air_n still_o rule_v in_o the_o child_n of_o disobedience_n that_o christ_n have_v not_o do_v his_o part_n in_o their_o redemption_n no_o while_o the_o law_n which_o hold_v they_o under_o a_o impossible_a duty_n that_o be_v the_o law_n of_o sin_n and_o condemnation_n be_v take_v off_o and_o the_o new_a law_n be_v such_o as_o every_o one_o be_v capable_a to_o perform_v the_o term_n of_o it_o if_o he_o will_v it_o be_v not_o for_o want_v of_o right_a to_o come_v out_o of_o this_o slavery_n it_o be_v not_o for_o want_v of_o power_n but_o it_o be_v because_o they_o be_v not_o willing_a to_o come_v out_o of_o it_o because_o they_o love_v their_o sin_n that_o the_o devil_n keep_v they_o still_o in_o possession_n even_o as_o the_o hebrew_n servant_n when_o the_o jubilee_n come_v if_o he_o say_v he_o love_v his_o master_n and_o will_v not_o go_v out_o free_a he_o be_v to_o have_v his_o ear_n bore_v to_o the_o door-post_n of_o the_o house_n and_o remain_v his_o slave_n for_o ever_o there_o be_v a_o double_a work_n therefore_o christ_n have_v to_o do_v as_o our_o lord-redeemer_n the_o one_o be_v to_o procure_v deliverance_n if_o we_o be_v willing_a that_o be_v our_o redemption_n in_o regard_n of_o title_n and_o the_o other_o be_v to_o make_v we_o willing_a which_o be_v to_o put_v we_o also_o in_o possession_n the_o one_o of_o these_o be_v that_o which_o be_v proper_o the_o work_n of_o our_o redemption_n and_o universal_a the_o other_o be_v peculiar_a to_o the_o elect_n and_o have_v another_o name_n in_o scripture_n that_o be_v our_o vocation_n effectual_a call_v or_o conversion_n unless_o when_o this_o possession_n come_v to_o be_v perfect_o complete_a that_o be_v at_o death_n and_o than_o it_o be_v again_o call_v the_o day_n of_o redemption_n who_o he_o do_v predestinate_a say_v the_o apostle_n they_o he_o also_o call_v and_o who_o he_o call_v they_o he_o also_o justify_v and_o who_o he_o justify_v they_o he_o also_o glorify_v if_o redemption_n be_v not_o of_o a_o large_a extent_n than_o election_n vocation_n justification_n and_o glory_n then_o will_v the_o apostle_n have_v say_v who_o he_o do_v predestinate_a he_o redeem_v and_o who_o he_o redeem_v he_o call_v but_o when_o we_o find_v no_o such_o link_n in_o this_o chain_n it_o be_v a_o convince_a argument_n to_o my_o understanding_n for_o the_o universality_n of_o redemption_n it_o be_v say_v of_o christ_n that_o he_o be_v the_o saviour_n of_o the_o world_n especial_o of_o his_o own_o body_n in_o that_o sentence_n we_o have_v both_o universal_a and_o special_a grace_n together_o and_o the_o one_o be_v applicatory_a not_o destructive_a to_o the_o other_o the_o redemption_n of_o christ_n be_v universal_a the_o grace_n whereby_o a_o man_n save_o believe_v and_o repent_v and_o so_o become_v one_o of_o his_o body_n be_v special_a and_o belong_v to_o election_n the_o death_n of_o christ_n may_v be_v consider_v as_o it_o redound_v to_o the_o purchase_v remission_n of_o sin_n and_o salvation_n upon_o condition_n or_o as_o it_o redound_v to_o the_o purchase_v the_o condition_n for_o remission_n and_o salvation_n in_o the_o first_o sense_n christ_n redemption_n and_o grace_n of_o the_o gospel_n be_v universal_a doctor_n twisse_n and_o the_o like_a divine_n will_v say_v twenty_o time_n over_o in_o the_o second_o sense_n they_o will_v have_v it_o for_o his_o elect_n only_o for_o my_o own_o part_n i_o must_v go_v from_o they_o here_o and_o account_n that_o the_o work_n of_o christ_n redemption_n and_o whole_a mediation_n upon_o earth_n do_v terminate_v in_o the_o former_a consideration_n the_o business_n of_o a_o mediator_n between_o party_n do_v lie_v in_o this_o to_o bring_v they_o to_o some_o new_a term_n wherein_o they_o may_v be_v agree_v when_o they_o be_v at_o odds_o before_o the_o business_n of_o christ_n mediation_n redemption_n reconciliation_n propitiation_n satisfaction_n or_o whatsoever_o word_n out_o of_o scripture_n or_o orthodox_n writer_n be_v use_v do_v lie_v i_o account_v in_o this_o altogether_o that_o he_o have_v take_v that_o course_n with_o the_o father_n that_o he_o shall_v not_o deal_v with_o the_o world_n according_a to_o the_o covenant_n of_o our_o creation_n which_o require_v such_o term_n as_o no_o man_n now_o thereby_o can_v be_v justify_v or_o save_v but_o according_a to_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n which_o be_v such_o that_o whosoever_o he_o be_v that_o trust_v in_o his_o mercy_n and_o goodness_n through_o christ_n do_v repent_v and_o walk_v sincere_o before_o he_o though_o imperfect_o shall_v be_v pardon_v accept_v and_o save_v and_o yet_o he_o be_v righteous_a in_o so_o do_v this_o i_o say_v be_v the_o res_fw-la ipsa_fw-la as_o i_o take_v it_o the_o thing_n itself_o intend_v in_o all_o these_o sort_n of_o word_n with_o the_o connotation_n only_o of_o the_o modus_fw-la also_o the_o mode_n or_o qualification_n thereof_o according_a to_o such_o several_a expression_n here_o then_o

he_o will_v have_v be_v damn_v first_o if_o it_o have_v not_o be_v for_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n that_o wrought_v he_o over_o after_o he_o have_v stand_v so_o long_o out_o and_o this_o be_v a_o sad_a truth_n i_o grant_v which_o need_v not_o the_o proof_n of_o one_o or_o two_o single_a text_n when_o the_o scope_n of_o the_o whole_a scripture_n which_o attribute_n our_o destructon_n to_o our_o self_n and_o our_o life_n and_o help_n unto_o god_n do_v seal_v to_o it_o who_o be_v it_o have_v make_v thou_o to_o differ_v of_o he_o we_o have_v the_o will_n and_o the_o deed_n by_o grace_n you_o be_v save_v you_o may_v say_v if_o the_o will_v then_o be_v of_o god_n why_o do_v he_o not_o give_v the_o will_n as_o well_o as_o the_o power_n to_o all_o see_v he_o will_v have_v all_o man_n to_o be_v save_v i_o answer_v in_o the_o first_o place_n what_o augustine_n have_v before_o that_o god_n will_v have_v all_o man_n to_o be_v save_v and_o come_v to_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o truth_n but_o yet_o so_o as_o the_o free_a will_n of_o man_n be_v not_o destroy_v my_o meaning_n though_o be_v not_o as_o i_o take_v the_o father_n be_v to_o be_v there_o as_o if_o the_o will_n in_o believe_v can_v not_o be_v of_o god_n of_o unwilling_a make_v man_n willing_a but_o this_o freedom_n be_v lose_v when_o i_o doubt_v not_o but_o the_o case_n be_v the_o same_o in_o believe_v as_o in_o well-doing_n where_o man_n free_a will_n and_o god_n grace_n will_v stand_v together_o always_o in_o his_o account_n i_o say_v far_o god_n will_v have_v all_o to_o be_v save_v in_o vouchsafe_v the_o mean_n to_o all_o to_o be_v save_v if_o they_o will_n this_o appear_v in_o these_o three_o particular_n 1._o that_o he_o have_v give_v his_o son_n to_o die_v for_o all_o the_o world_n 2._o the_o lord_n jesus_n have_v by_o his_o death_n procure_v the_o new_a covenant_n or_o such_o term_n upon_o which_o salvation_n may_v be_v have_v as_o be_v possible_a to_o all_o the_o world_n this_o be_v a_o point_n to_o be_v know_v that_o there_o be_v this_o difference_n between_o the_o covenant_n of_o work_n under_o which_o we_o be_v by_o nature_n and_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n unto_o which_o we_o be_v redeem_a that_o the_o condition_n of_o the_o one_o as_o to_o our_o fall_a estate_n be_v impossible_a and_o the_o condition_n of_o the_o other_o be_v possible_a if_o it_o be_v not_o possible_a or_o in_o man_n power_n to_o perform_v if_o he_o will_v then_o have_v christ_n do_v nothing_o for_o the_o world_n but_o die_v only_o for_o his_o elect._n for_o to_o procure_v a_o benefit_n on_o a_o condition_n that_o be_v impossible_a be_v all_o one_o as_o to_o procure_v no_o benefit_n at_o all_o 3._o there_o be_v sufficient_a light_n by_o the_o gospel_n or_o by_o other_o mean_n from_o within_o and_o without_o to_o instruct_v all_o man_n so_o that_o if_o they_o be_v not_o want_v to_o that_o light_n they_o may_v be_v save_v and_o thus_o be_v we_o to_o make_v good_a this_o truth_n god_n will_v have_v all_o to_o be_v save_v if_o they_o will_v of_o themselves_o which_o yet_o do_v not_o hinder_v but_o he_o may_v will_v the_o salvation_n of_o some_o more_o than_o so_o that_o be_v not_o only_o if_o they_o will_v of_o themselves_o but_o if_o they_o will_v by_o his_o grace_n which_o he_o give_v or_o refuse_v to_o who_o he_o please_v cur_n autem_fw-la illum_fw-la adjuvet_fw-la deus_fw-la
