To shew the contradiction betwixt Christ dying for all, and Gods election of some. 3. To prove that the soule doth not come from the parent, and consequently that there is no originall sinne.

man_n effectual_o proportionable_a to_o the_o measure_n of_o corruption_n even_o to_o the_o take_n of_o it_o away_o in_o some_o and_o not_o in_o other_o by_o the_o extent_n of_o his_o providence_n
