die_v even_o for_o infidel_n and_o unbeliever_n as_o such_o because_o the_o price_n of_o christ_n blood_n if_o consider_v in_o itself_o in_o its_o own_o worth_a and_o value_n be_v sufficient_a even_o for_o the_o redemption_n of_o these_o when_o yet_o according_a to_o god_n reveal_v will_n in_o scripture_n though_o christ_n obtain_v reconciliation_n for_o all_o the_o benefit_n thereof_o accrue_v only_o to_o those_o that_o repent_v of_o their_o sin_n and_o apply_v that_o reconciliation_n to_o themselves_o in_o particular_a by_o faith_n and_o obedience_n and_o this_o bring_v i_o to_o the_o five_o reason_n why_o no_o such_o absolute_a decree_n of_o election_n to_o eternal_a glory_n can_v ever_o be_v suppose_v to_o be_v make_v by_o god_n and_o that_o be_v five_o because_o christ_n who_o die_v for_o all_o shed_v forth_o his_o blood_n upon_o term_n befit_v mercy_n and_o justice_n which_o can_v never_o have_v be_v if_o there_o be_v any_o such_o decree_n and_o this_o invite_v i_o to_o take_v in_o the_o second_o general_n part_n in_o the_o text_n where_o we_o have_v the_o author_n and_o procurer_n of_o this_o decree_n of_o election_n namely_o christ_n he_o have_v choose_v we_o in_o he_o in_o christ_n matthew_n 26.28_o this_o say_v christ_n be_v my_o blood_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n which_o be_v shed_v for_o many_o for_o the_o remission_n of_o sin_n and_o this_o effusion_n be_v upon_o term_n befit_v mercy_n and_o justice_n for_o though_o god_n be_v merciful_o affect_v towards_o man_n yet_o out_o of_o respect_n to_o his_o truth_n and_o veracity_n he_o will_v not_o allow_v his_o mercy_n to_o save_v any_o till_o his_o justice_n be_v satisfy_v and_o therefore_o he_o make_v christ_n who_o shed_v his_o blood_n for_o we_o the_o foundation_n of_o our_o election_n and_o that_o not_o in_o the_o sense_n of_o the_o contra-remonstrants_a who_o tell_v we_o that_o god_n first_o decree_v the_o salvation_n of_o some_o few_o select_a person_n and_o then_o the_o give_v of_o christ_n as_o a_o mean_n to_o bring_v this_o decree_n to_o pass_v so_o that_o with_o they_o god_n the_o father_n be_v the_o author_n of_o our_o election_n christ_n but_o the_o instrument_n or_o executor_n whereas_o if_o we_o will_v not_o derogate_v from_o the_o power_n of_o christ_n he_o be_v to_o be_v so_o hold_v the_o foundation_n of_o our_o election_n as_o to_o be_v the_o author_n and_o procurer_n thereof_o christ_n pay_v the_o large_a score_n of_o our_o sin_n by_o his_o precedent_a satisfaction_n before_o god_n will_v choose_v any_o person_n to_o life_n eternal_a not_o that_o god_n can_v not_o have_v act_v otherwise_o but_o that_o he_o may_v have_v some_o regard_n to_o his_o abuse_a justice_n before_o he_o open_v a_o door_n of_o mercy_n it_o be_v true_a indeed_o that_o his_o will_n and_o desire_n to_o save_v sinner_n go_v before_o either_o the_o actual_a give_v or_o his_o decree_n to_o give_v they_o a_o saviour_n for_o john_n 3.16_o god_n be_v say_v to_o have_v love_v

of_o election_n upon_o a_o double_a account_n first_o because_o unless_o god_n decree_n of_o give_v a_o mediator_n have_v go_v before_o there_o have_v be_v no_o place_n for_o his_o decree_n of_o

so_o that_o that_o satisfaction_n to_o god_n justice_n be_v first_o make_v god_n resolve_v afterward_o to_o carry_v on_o the_o whole_a business_n of_o our_o salvation_n by_o that_o very_a mediator_n
