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

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

and_o special_a grace_n of_o god_n i_o count_v hold_v forth_o therein_o and_o both_o consistent_a with_o one_o another_o when_o christ_n say_v he_o come_v to_o save_v the_o world_n that_o the_o
