A97232	Chonoyterion he Sion. The refinement of Zion: or, The old orthodox Protestant doctrine justified, and defended against several exceptions of the Antinomians, methodically digested into questions, wherein many weighty and important cases of conscience are handled, concerning the nature of faith and repentance, or conversion to God: of his eternal love, and beholding of sin in his dearest children: of justification from eternity, of of [sic] preparations to the acceptance of Christ, of prayer for pardon of sin, and turning to God: of the gospel covenant, aud [sic] tenders of salvation, on the termes of faith and repentance. For the establishment of the scrupulous, conviction of the erroneous, and consolation of distressed consciences. By Anthony Warton, minister of the word at Breamore in Hampshire.

to_o maintain_v that_o god_n do_v never_o correct_v his_o child_n for_o any_o sin_n that_o be_v commit_v by_o they_o against_o who_o i_o reason_v thus_o god_n do_v either_o correct_v his_o child_n

that_o it_o be_v for_o righteousness_n that_o god_n correct_v his_o child_n for_o say_v he_o god_n correct_v they_o from_o their_o sin_n and_o make_v they_o to_o live_v righteous_o i_o perceive_v

will_v god_n i_o have_v die_v for_o thou_o my_o son_n absalon_n his_o meaning_n be_v that_o he_o desire_v to_o have_v die_v in_o absalon_n stead_n that_o he_o may_v by_o his_o own_o death_n have_v free_v absalon_n from_o death_n in_o like_a manner_n therefore_o if_o we_o shall_v say_v that_o christ_n believe_v repent_v and_o be_v mortify_v for_o we_o the_o meaning_n hereof_o will_v be_v that_o
