A93680	Gods ordinance, the saints priviledge. Discovered and proved in two treatises. The first, the saints interest by Christ in all the priviledges of grace: wherein their right to the use of baptisme, and the Lords supper, even now during the reign of Antichrist, is cleared; and the objections of those that oppose the same, are answered. The second, the peculiar interest of the elect in Christ, and his saving grace: wherein it is proved that Christ hath not presented to his fathers justice a satisfaction for the sinnes of all men; but onely for the sinnes of those that doe, or shall believe in him; which are his elect onely: and the objections of those that maintaine the contrary, are also answered. / Both written by John Spilsberie. And the last transcribed, and somewhat enlarged, by Benjamin Coxe. Licensed, entred, and printed according to order.	J. S.

therefore_o your_o sin_n remain_v your_o sin_n shall_v not_o remain_v for_o if_o we_o confess_v our_o sin_n god_n be_v faithful_a and_o just_a to_o forgive_v we_o our_o sin_n and_o to_o cleanse_v

24._o object_n from_o joh_n 15.22.24_o answer_v if_o i_o have_v not_o come_v and_o speak_v unto_o they_o they_o have_v not_o have_v sin_n if_o i_o have_v not_o do_v among_o they_o the_o work_n which_o none_o other_o man_n do_v they_o have_v not_o bad_a sin_n from_o hence_o also_o they_o will_v in_o like_a manner_n infer_v that_o the_o man_n of_o who_o christ_n here_o speak_v have_v not_o be_v chargeable_a of_o any_o sin_n if_o the_o gospel_n have_v not_o be_v preach_v to_o they_o our_o answer_n be_v this_o christ_n do_v not_o here_o say_v if_o the_o gospel_n have_v not_o be_v preach_v to_o they_o but_o if_o i_o have_v not_o come_v and_o speak_v unto_o they_o that_o be_v if_o i_o have_v not_o come_v and_o preach_v to_o they_o in_o my_o own_o person_n and_o if_o i_o have_v not_o do_v

they_o have_v not_o have_v sin_n he_o do_v not_o mean_a they_o have_v be_v in_o no_o wise_a chargeable_a of_o any_o sin_n but_o they_o shall_v not_o have_v be_v so_o manifest_o inexcusable_a in_o

the_o jew_n be_v chargeable_a of_o sin_n before_o christ_n wrought_v his_o miracle_n among_o they_o before_o he_o preach_v unto_o they_o in_o his_o own_o person_n and_o before_o his_o incarnation_n see_v amos_n 2.4_o 5._o yea_o the_o man_n of_o tyre_n and_o zidon_n be_v chargeable_a of_o sin_n and_o the_o man_n of_o sodom_n and_o gomorrah_n be_v chargeable_a of_o sin_n see_v ezek._n 16.49_o 50._o and_o judas_n 7._o our_o interpretation_n of_o christ_n word_n do_v agree_v plain_o with_o the_o clear_a meaning_n of_o that_o in_o james_n 4.17_o to_o he_o that_o know_v to_o do_v good_a and_o
