the_o race_n of_o mankind_n he_o proceed_v in_o show_v we_o how_o in_o the_o rest_n of_o their_o universality_n he_o be_v their_o friend_n and_o therefore_o talk_v not_o only_o of_o a_o universal_a

2._o when_o he_o reject_v election_n &_o reprobation_n absolute_a he_o make_v way_n and_o lay_v a_o good_a foundation_n for_o this_o other_o error_n of_o universal_a redemption_n for_o these_o two_o

of_o so_o many_o as_o please_v he_o who_o he_o will_v certain_o redeem_v and_o bring_v to_o glory_n which_o i_o can_v see_v how_o they_o can_v consonant_o and_o satisfy_o hold_v unless_o they_o can_v

the_o point_n of_o universal_a redemption_n we_o find_v various_a sentiment_n or_o various_a explication_n of_o the_o matter_n give_v to_o we_o by_o adversary_n for_o they_o do_v not_o all_o agree_v in_o their_o apprehension_n of_o the_o thing_n some_o explain_v the_o mat●er_n thus_o god_n send_v his_o only_o beget_v son_n to_o be_v a_o redeemer_n and_o propitiator_n for_o adam_n and_o all_o his_o posterity_n who_o by_o his_o death_n do_v pacify_v a_o angry_a god_n and_o restore_v mankind_n to_o their_o lose_a inheritance_n so_o as_o all_o who_o be_v now_o condemn_v be_v not_o condemn_v for_o their_o former_a sin_n and_o guilt_n for_o christ_n have_v abundant_o satisfy_v for_o these_o but_o for_o their_o unbeleef_n for_o not_o believe_v in_o th●_n redeemer_n of_o the_o world_n and_o for_o reject_v the_o reconciliation_n make_v &_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n declare_v in_o the_o word_n and_o thus_o they_o must_v say_v that_o christ_n have_v die_v for_o all_o sin_n but_o unbelief_n and_o that_o salvation_n do_v not_o certain_o follow_v upon_o this_o reconciliation_n and_o so_o that_o it_o be_v rather_o a_o reconciliableness_n than_o a_o reconciliation_n and_o they_o must_v necessary_o maintain_v that_o this_o matter_n be_v reveal_v unto_o all_o and_o every_o son_n of_o adam_n who_o otherwise_o can_v be_v guilty_a of_o reject_v this_o reconciliation_n other_o way_n it_o shall_v be_v of_o no_o advantage_n to_o they_o unless_o they_o say_v that_o the_o want_n of_o the_o revelation_n put_v they_o out_o of_o a_o capacity_n of_o be_v guilty_a of_o unbelief_n and_o so_o they_o must_v necessary_o be_v save_v and_o thus_o their_o condition_n shall_v be_v undoubted_o better_a than_o be_v the_o condition_n of_o such_o as_o hear_v the_o gospel_n and_o then_o the_o revelation_n of_o the_o gospel_n shall_v be_v no_o favour_n but_o a_o prejudice_n rather_o and_o in_o reference_n to_o this_o they_o devise_v a_o universal_a and_o antecedanious_a love_n whereby_o god_n out_o of_o his_o infinite_a goodness_n be_v incline_v to_o desire_v the_o happiness_n and_o salvation_n of_o every_o mother_n son_n and_o therefore_o to_o send_v his_o son_n to_o die_v for_o all_o as_o if_o god_n have_v such_o natural_a and_o necessary_a inclination_n and_o as_o if_o all_o his_o love_n to_o mankind_n and_o every_o appointment_n of_o his_o concern_v we_o be_v not_o the_o free_a act_n of_o his_o good_a pleasure_n and_o as_o if_o there_o be_v any_o such_o antecedent_n and_o conditional_a will_n in_o god_n that_o can_v or_o may_v have_v no_o issue_n or_o accomplishment_n but_o as_o lord_n free_a will_n will_v and_o as_o if_o the_o love_n that_o send_v c●rist_n be_v only_o such_o a_o poor_a conditional_a inclination_n towards_o all_o mankind_n which_o the_o scripture_n hold_v forth_o as_o the_o great_a of_o love_n and_o as_o the_o ground_n of_o all_o the_o effect_n and_o grant_n which_o man_v full_a salvation_n call_v for_o but_o why_o can_v not_o this_o love_n effectuate_v the_o good_a of_o all_o therefore_o they_o tell_v we_o that_o justice_n be_v injure_v by_o sin_n unless_o it_o be_v satisfy_v that_o love_n of_o god_n whereby_o he_o wish_v well_o to_o all_o sinner_n can_v effectuate_v nothing_o as_o to_o the_o recovery_n of_o any_o and_o upon_o this_o ground_n they_o imagine_v christ_n be_v send_v to_o make_v a_o universal_a atonement_n and_o so_o justice_n be_v satisfy_v may_v not_o obstruct_v the_o salvation_n of_o any_o who_o free_a will_n will_v consent_v unto_o term_n of_o new_a to_o be_v propose_v 4._o other_o hold_v forth_o the_o matter_n thus_o christ_n according_a to_o the_o eternal_a counsel_n of_o god_n do_v proper_o die_v for_o this_o end_n and_o by_o his_o propitiatory_a sacrifice_n obtain_v that_o all_o and_o every_o

of_o god_n can_v this_o be_v to_o send_v christ_n to_o die_v for_o person_n upon_o that_o condition_n which_o he_o know_v they_o will_v not_o and_o can_v not_o perform_v and_o what_o by_o this_o mean_n have_v christ_n propitiatory_a sacrifice_n obtain_v more_o than_o a_o mere_a possibility_n of_o salvation_n to_o either_o one_o or_o other_o shall_v we_o imagine_v that_o god_n design_v good_a to_o person_n who_o shall_v never_o enjoy_v it_o or_o that_o god_n have_v conditional_a intention_n and_o design_n by_o this_o mean_n christ_n death_n be_v design_v and_o no_o person_n design_v
