A77642	Scripture-redemption freed from men's restrictions: being an answer to a book lately published by Mr. William Troughton (who stiles himself a minister of the gospel at Onlep in Leicester-shire) intituled, scripture-redemption restrained and limited: as also the substance of several conferences and disputes had in England, Wales, and Scotland, with Mr. Heath, Mr. Bartley, Mr. Powel, Mr. Sam. Rutherford, and Mr. James Wood, two rectors of the university of S. Andrews, and many others, about the death of our most dear redeemer, and the controversies which are the constant concomitants of it. Together with a brief reply to Mr. Troughton's rayling accusations in his introduction. By J. Brown, sometimes of Orial Coll. in Oxford, afterwards a priest of the Church of England, and vicar of Tenbury in Worcester-shire; but now through mercy a preacher of the faith which once he destroyed.

to_o a_o more_o full_a manifestation_n the_o occasion_n of_o my_o undertake_n of_o this_o work_n be_v partly_o from_o a_o nameless_a paper_n receive_v from_o some_o parish_n minister_n live_v about_o

nor_o for_o for_o there_o be_v a_o world_n that_o be_v not_o thou_o a_o world_n that_o then_o di●st_v not_o give_v i_o to_o die_v for_o and_o therefore_o a_o world_n that_o i_o must_v not_o pray_v for_o i_o wonder_v that_o any_o man_n who_o pretend_v tenderness_n of_o conscience_n and_o love_n to_o the_o scripture_n shall_v dare_v to_o add_v to_o they_o but_o they_o that_o dare_v to_o restrain_v the_o scripture_n will_v dare_v also_o to_o add_v to_o the_o scripture_n and_o in_o time_n do_v any_o thing_n if_o they_o repent_v not_o but_o second_o though_o christ_n pray_v not_o for_o the_o world_n in_o the_o same_o word_n and_o at_o that_o time_n when_o he_o pray_v for_o his_o disciple_n both_v not_o be_v in_o the_o same_o capacity_n yet_o afterward_o and_o elsewhere_o he_o do_v and_o to_o clear_v up_o this_o let_v we_o search_v the_o scripture_n job_n 17._o which_o m._n tro._n say_v be_v the_o pattern_n of_o his_o prayer_n in_o heaven_n and_o to_o prove_v this_o he_o quote_v

to_o show_v this_o pattern_n to_o all_o those_o that_o shall_v read_v this_o work_n that_o so_o we_o may_v be_v as_o well_o acquaint_v with_o the_o intercession_n of_o christ_n as_o his_o oblation_n of_o himself_o to_o god_n for_o we_o observe_v then_o first_o that_o christ_n from_o the_o 6._o ver_fw-la to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o 19_o make_v mention_n only_o of_o his_o disciple_n in_o be_v as_o

through_o the_o word_n of_o truth_n and_o in_o the_o late_a part_n of_o the_o 21._o and_o in_o part_n of_o the_o 33._o for_o the_o world_n that_o they_o may_v believe_v and_o know_v that_o the_o

much_o for_o christ_n say_v ver_fw-la the_o 8._o they_o his_o disciple_n have_v sure_o know_v that_o i_o come_v out_o from_o thou_o and_o have_v believe_v that_o thou_o do_v send_v i_o and_o beside_o all_o impartial_a spirit_n will_v confess_v that_o the_o world_n and_o the_o saint_n be_v always_o oppose_v to_o each_o other_o second_o that_o christ_n make_v intercession_n for_o the_o

he_o have_v pray_v for_o the_o world_n i_o mean_v wicked_a man_n in_o the_o same_o term_n as_o for_o his_o disciple_n he_o have_v pray_v rather_o against_o they_o then_o for_o they_o when_o he_o petition_v that_o they_o may_v be_v one_o for_o unity_n in_o iniquity_n be_v as_o bad_a as_o unity_n in_o piety_n be_v good_a every_o one_o that_o pray_v with_o understanding_n be_v apt_a to_o pray_v for_o the_o saint_n that_o god_n will_v keep_v they_o in_o peace_n and_o unity_n that_o they_o may_v continue_v in_o the_o way_n that_o they_o be_v 〈◊〉_d and_o for_o all_o people_n and_o nation_n that_o god_n will_v disperse_v the_o beam_n of_o truth_n among_o they_o that_o so_o they_o may_v know_v and_o believe_v and_o be_v convert_v they_o desire_v that_o god_n will_v preserve_v their_o

etc._n etc._n or_o that_o the_o saint_n may_v be_v convert_v neither_o do_v our_o teacher_n the_o lord_n christ_n do_v thus_o but_o that_o the_o disciple_n who_o have_v know_v and_o believe_v may_v be_v preserve_v in_o one_o and_o keep_v from_o evil_a and_o that_o the_o world_n may_v know_v and_o believe_v he_o who_o the_o father_n have_v send_v and_o seal_v thus_o you_o see_v if_o this_o prayer_n of_o christ_n in_o the_o 17._o of_o john_n be_v the_o pattern_n of_o his_o prayer_n in_o heaven_n as_o m._n tro._n from_o arminius_n have_v assert_v that_o than_o our_o dear_a redeemer_n have_v not_o leave_v out_o one_o man_n or_o woman_n for_o there_o be_v but_o two_o sort_n of_o people_n nor_o ever_o be_v there_o any_o more_o believer_n and_o unbeliever_n saint_n and_o sinner_n the_o elect_a and_o the_o world_n and_o for_o both_o these_o he_o pray_v though_o in_o different_a expression_n as_o you_o have_v hear_v before_o ob._n but_o will_v some_o say_v that_o that_o if_o christ_n have_v ever_o pray_v for_o the_o world_n that_o they_o may_v believe_v and_o know_v he_o than_o they_o shall_v have_v so_o do_v because_o christ_n be_v always_o hear_v by_o the_o father_n but_o say_v they_o we_o see_v that_o all_o do_v not_o believe_v and_o know_v christ_n therefore_o he_o need_v not_o to_o pray_v this_o argument_n be_v very_o deceitful_a and_o ground_v upon_o a_o false_a supposition_n that_o because_o man_n do_v not_o therefore_o they_o can_v nor_o ever_o can_v know_v the_o lord_n and_o believe_v he_o but_o this_o supposal_n be_v false_a the_o argument_n be_v so_o to_o as_o i_o have_v large_o prove_v before_o in_o this_o discourse_n but_o second_o i_o answer_v jesus_n christ_n do_v never_o pray_v in_o vain_a but_o obtain_v what_o he_o pray_v for_o the_o work_n of_o redemption_n and_o intercession_n etc._n etc._n be_v finish_v from_o the_o foundation_n of_o the_o world_n and_o all_o man_n may_v know_v and_o believe_v the_o lord_n as_o the_o prophet_n

beseech_v you_o read_v and_o consider_v they_o and_o from_o they_o you_o will_v clear_o see_v that_o god_n have_v not_o be_v want_v to_o reveal_v light_n and_o knowledge_n of_o himself_o through_o christ_n but_o man_n may_v know_v and_o believe_v it_o be_v possible_a for_o they_o and_o nothing_o hinder_v they_o but_o the_o devil_n and_o themselves_o their_o self-will_n and_o their_o sin_n which_o cause_n god_n to_o leave_v they_o and_o hide_v good_a thing_n from_o they_o christ_n pray_v that_o the_o world_n may_v believe_v and_o know_v he_o and_o it_o be_v grant_v all_o man_n through_o

but_o one_o must_v reckon_v for_o that_o and_o they_o that_o have_v be_v faithful_a in_o a_o little_a shall_v be_v ruler_n over_o much_o and_o let_v this_o be_v consider_v well_o by_o all_o man_n that_o as_o christ_n die_v for_o all_o yet_o none_o that_o be_v man_n and_o woman_n shall_v have_v eternal_a life_n only_o by_o his_o pour_v out_o his_o blood_n for_o they_o without_o obedience_n to_o he_o according_a to_o what_o he_o reveal_v to_o they_o so_o though_o christ_n pray_v for_o all_o man_n yet_o none_o be_v save_v to_o the_o uttermost_a mere_o through_o his_o intercession_n except_o they_o be_v invite_v by_o the_o spirit_n come_v to_o god_n through_o he_o as_o you_o may_v see_v heb._n 7._o 25._o wherefore_o he_o be_v able_a to_o save_v to_o the_o uttermost_a they_o that_o come_v
