A29125	A compendious answer to a book called A brief survay of the judgement of Mr. John Goodvvin, and the Church of God walking with him, touching their reasons of dissenting from many of their brethren, in these imprtant heads of doctrine; 1. Election and reprobation. 2. The death of Christ. 3. The grace of God in and about conversion. 4. The liberty or power of the will, or of the creature man. 5. The perseverance of the saints. VVherein the absurdities of all their dissenting doctrines are clearly exhibited, by a loving friend to the truth it self, Ellis Bradshaw.

true_a first_o i_o think_v as_o in_o your_o four_o reason_n that_o the_o case_n of_o all_o infant_n die_v before_o the_o commission_n of_o actual_a sin_n to_o be_v one_o and_o the_o same_o because_o i_o apprehend_v they_o be_v all_o alike_o and_o in_o a_o like_a measure_n by_o nature_n child_n of_o wrath_n one_o as_o well_o and_o as_o much_o as_o another_o and_o so_o either_o all_o save_v or_o all_o damn_a but_o i_o can_v not_o believe_v they_o be_v all_o damn_a for_o such_o like_a reason_n as_o you_o here_o allege_v therefore_o i_o conclude_v they_o be_v certain_o save_v but_o upon_o better_a consideration_n as_o it_o please_v god_n to_o give_v i_o to_o understand_v that_o though_o jew_n by_o nature_n be_v child_n of_o wrath_n as_o well_o as_o gentile_n which_o be_v the_o proper_a scope_n of_o that_o expression_n ephes_n 2.3_o as_o will_v appear_v by_o the_o context_n and_o not_o that_o every_o particular_a child_n be_v by_o nature_n alike_o and_o in_o the_o same_o measure_n pollute_v with_o sin_n but_o though_o all_o be_v pollute_v in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n christ_n himself_o except_v yet_o there_o be_v great_a difference_n and_o disparity_n among_o they_o in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n which_o put_v i_o quite_o into_o another_o mind_n and_o search_v the_o scripture_n i_o be_v present_o confirm_v quite_o the_o contrary_n i_o shall_v therefore_o hold_v forth_o

and_o first_o then_o for_o proof_n that_o all_o child_n when_o new_o bear_v be_v not_o in_o the_o same_o measure_n flesh_n nor_o alike_o fleshly_a nor_o that_o they_o be_v all_o alike_o and_o in_o

it_o will_v evident_o appear_v from_o the_o word_n of_o god_n though_o i_o do_v not_o say_v i_o can_v make_v this_o difference_n appear_v unto_o man_n while_o they_o be_v unborn_a yet_o it_o will_v appear_v that_o there_o be_v then_o such_o difference_n in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n 1._o as_o first_o i_o argue_v if_o god_n love_v one_o thing_n and_o hate_v another_o there_o be_v certain_o a_o difference_n and_o disparity_n betwixt_o those_o thing_n in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n rea._n for_o he_o love_v the_o good_a and_o hate_v the_o evil_a and_o can_v both_o hate_n and_o love_v the_o
