&_o in_o some_o season_n liberty_n and_o opportunity_n for_o more_o and_o let_v those_o bear_v of_o god_n be_v consider_v as_o distinct_a and_o those_o reprobate_v as_o exclude_v the_o better_a part_n and_o then_o i_o be_o persuade_v all_o that_o be_v not_o prejudicate_v through_o envy_n and_o malice_n will_v confess_v that_o the_o hearty_a believe_v that_o jesus_n christ_n by_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n do_v die_v and_o give_v himself_o a_o ransom_n for_o all_o man_n and_o that_o god_n so_o accept_v this_o death_n of_o he_o for_o all_o that_o he_o have_v exalt_v he_o and_o make_v he_o lord_n and_o judge_n of_o all_o and_o fill_v he_o with_o all_o fullness_n of_o grace_n and_o truth_n to_o bestow_v and_o that_o if_o one_o die_v for_o all_o then_o be_v all_o dead_a and_o that_o he_o die_v for_o all_o that_o those_o that_o live_v shall_v not_o live_v to_o themselves_o but_o to_o he_o that_o die_v for_o they_o and_z rise_v again_o that_o jesus_n christ_n be_v the_o saviour_n of_o the_o world_n the_o propitiation_n for_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o whole_a world_n that_o he_o be_v so_o display_v and_o set_v forth_o in_o the_o gospel_n that_o all_o man_n may_v believe_v and_o that_o such_o as_o do_v indeed_o believe_v on_o he_o shall_v not_o perish_v but_o have_v everlasting_a life_n this_o be_v the_o foundation_n of_o repentance_n and_o faith_n the_o door_n to_o come_v in_o to_o the_o knowledge_n of_o god_n and_o christ_n the_o ground_n of_o the_o faith_n and_o certainty_n of_o the_o resurrection_n of_o the_o dead_a and_o of_o the_o equity_n and_o certainty_n of_o christ_n his_o judge_v all_o man_n and_o the_o ground_n and_o motive_n of_o true_a love_n to_o god_n and_o man_n that_o this_o doctrine_n and_o the_o belief_n and_o preach_v of_o it_o will_v lead_v no_o man_n to_o magnify_v the_o nature_n off_o man_n as_o from_o adam_n or_o to_o think_v that_o any_o man_n have_v by_o nature_n freewill_n to_o moral_n or_o spiritual_a good_a yea_o or_o that_o any_o man_n that_o be_v but_o natural_a have_v any_o freedom_n of_o will_n to_o spiritual_a good_a thing_n much_o less_o power_n to_o attain_v and_o do_v and_o we_o that_o believe_v thus_o protest_v against_o it_o but_o this_o we_o believe_v as_o we_o be_v lead_v to_o in_o the_o belief_n of_o this_o doctrine_n namely_o that_o as_o jesus_n christ_n come_v into_o the_o world_n to_o save_v sinner_n and_o that_o the_o world_n may_v be_v save_v 1_o tim_n 1.15_o john_n 3.17_o and_o use_v mean_n and_o send_v his_o word_n to_o that_o end_n that_o man_n may_v seek_v he_o repent_v and_o believe_v and_o so_o be_v save_v acts._n 17.27_o rom._n 2.4_o john_n 1.7_o and_o 5.24_o 34._o psal_n 78.5_o 6_o 7_o 8._o so_o he_o have_v do_v that_o for_o man_n and_o by_o virtue_n thereof_o do_v that_o unto_o man_n by_o which_o in_o his_o operation_n they_o may_v repent_v and_o believe_v and_o so_o be_v eternal_o save_v and_o if_o they_o be_v not_o it_o be_v not_o through_o mere_a impotency_n and_o necessity_n but_o their_o willfullness_n so_o far_o that_o their_o destruction_n be_v of_o themselves_o not_o in_o or_o by_o the_o weakness_n or_o want_n of_o any_o thing_n do_v by_o christ_n but_o by_o their_o own_o willing_a

doctrine_n and_o these_o instruction_n of_o it_o we_o believe_v as_o be_v say_v 1._o that_o the_o natural_a life_n of_o man_n be_v by_o christ_n preserve_v for_o a_o time_n that_o he_o may_v repent_v 2._o that_o by_o christ_n some_o mean_n be_v use_v and_o some_o light_n vouchsafe_v to_o man_n for_o the_o same_o end_n tend_v towards_o salvation_n 3._o that_o some_o light_a disposition_n or_o spirit_n be_v extend_v and_o give_v into_o man_n by_o which_o they_o be_v endue_v with_o some_o discern_v that_o may_v be_v call_v a_o eye_n to_o see_v a_o ear_n to_o hear_v that_o so_o in_o see_v and_o hear_v they_o may_v understand_v what_o be_v natural_o and_o what_o moral_o good_a and_o what_o of_o god_n be_v declare_v to_o they_o in_o his_o work_n and_o word_n about_o his_o eternal_a be_v and_o godhead_n his_o wisdom_n power_n justice_n truth_n and_o his_o love_n and_o kindness_n to_o man-ward_n and_o what_o he_o have_v do_v for_o they_o and_o how_o he_o look_v and_o call_v for_o their_o return_n to_o he_o and_o what_o in_o mercy_n he_o stand_v ready_a to_o confer_v upon_o they_o in_o their_o return_n according_a to_o his_o discovery_n they_o may_v see_v and_o with_o this_o discern_v such_o a_o suitable_a liberty_n or_o freedom_n in_o their_o will_n be_v also_o give_v they_o by_o christ_n that_o they_o may_v choose_v and_o see_v in_o see_v and_o so_o to_o view_v and_o incline_v and_o choose_v to_o seek_v and_o yield_v to_o that_o which_o be_v natural_o and_o moral_o good_a and_o to_o attend_v that_o word_n and_o those_o mean_n in_o which_o spiritual_a good_a thing_n be_v declare_v and_o tender_v to_o they_o and_o in_o which_o attention_n to_o they_o they_o shall_v meet_v with_o that_o which_o will_v inlighen_fw-mi their_o mind_n and_o give_v so_o much_o freedom_n to_o their_o will_n as_o that_o they_o may_v choose_v that_o which_o be_v spiritual_o good_a which_o yet_o be_v want_v to_o they_o 4._o that_o jesus_n christ_n by_o his_o gospel_n where_o it_o come_v and_o by_o his_o spirit_n therein_o at_o some_o season_n do_v even_o lay_v meat_n before_o they_o and_o so_o far_o take_v off_o the_o yoke_n of_o thraldom_n that_o by_o his_o operation_n in_o such_o season_n they_o may_v choose_v life_n and_o then_o be_v this_o freedom_n also_o give_v they_o which_o because_o they_o accept_v it_o not_o &_o so_o use_v it_o not_o in_o that_o season_n to_o choose_v life_n as_o they_o may_v it_o abide_v not_o in_o they_o and_o so_o they_o can_v be_v say_v to_o have_v it_o but_o as_o come_n in_o that_o season_n and_o pass_v because_o it_o be_v not_o lay_v hold_v on_o in_o that_o season_n and_o well_o use_v and_o all_o this_o be_v the_o free_a gift_n of_o god_n by_o virtue_n of_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n to_o unworthy_a man_n and_o a_o fruit_n of_o his_o love_n and_o kindness_n to_o man-ward_n it_o magnify_v not_o at_o all_o man_n nature_n as_o in_o and_o from_o adam_n nor_o afford_v any_o praise_n to_o man_n but_o set_v forth_o still_o the_o glory_n of_o the_o rich_a grace_n and_o bounty_n of_o god_n to_o unworthy_a man_n and_o how_o they_o be_v still_o more_o oblige_v to_o god_n for_o this_o helpfulness_n afford_v and_o to_o christ_n the_o spiritual_a man_n by_o virtue_n of_o who_o death_n and_o sacrifice_n this_o also_o be_v extend_v be_v a_o fruit_n thereof_o and_o it_o serve_v much_o more_o to_o abase_v corrupt_a and_o fall_v man_n and_o to_o aggravate_v his_o sin_n and_o folly_n that_o be_v in_o misery_n and_o life_n tender_v he_o by_o a_o redeemer_n and_o such_o help_v give_v he_o that_o he_o may_v incline_v to_o hear_v and_o attend_v to_o the_o mean_n he_o use_v who_o will_v save_v he_o eternal_o and_o yet_o man_n willing_o to_o close_v or_o refuse_v to_o use_v the_o eye_n he_o have_v give_v they_o and_o to_o choose_v to_o follow_v lie_v vanity_n and_o so_o forsake_v their_o own_o mercy_n reject_v the_o lord_n of_o life_n oh_o great_a ingratitude_n and_o inexcusable_a folly_n as_o for_o the_o freedom_n of_o will_n in_o unfeigned_a believer_n though_o it_o be_v but_o in_o part_n yet_o confess_v by_o we_o all_o that_o believe_v in_o christ_n i_o will_v here_o say_v no_o more_o to_o that_o and_o for_o they_o that_o for_o willing_a resist_v the_o spirit_n till_o they_o be_v give_v up_o of_o god_n and_o reprobated_a that_o they_o be_v harden_v and_o total_o destitute_a of_o any_o freedom_n of_o will_n or_o possibility_n thereto_o in_o thing_n true_o and_o spiritual_o good_a i_o suppose_v there_o be_v in_o this_o no_o difference_n among_o we_o that_o believe_v in_o christ_n but_o about_o natural_a man_n not_o yet_o bear_v from_o above_o nor_o whole_o overcome_v by_o satan_n and_o so_o give_v up_o and_o reprobate_v by_o god_n but_o yet_o in_o their_o natural_a estate_n of_o these_o
