by_o the_o world_n be_v not_o mean_v only_o the_o elect_n of_o god_n in_o your_o sense_n and_o therefore_o by_o the_o world_n be_v mean_v all_o mankind_n without_o exception_n m._n powell_n i_o may_v

the_o sense_n of_o the_o place_n must_v run_v thus_o so_o god_n love_v the_o elect_a of_o god_n that_o whosoever_o of_o these_o elect_n of_o god_n shall_v believe_v they_o shall_v not_o perish_v but_o

god_n so_o love_v the_o elect_n that_o he_o will_v give_v they_o faith_n and_o save_v they_o m._n goodwin_n i_o do_v not_o understand_v your_o answer_n but_o either_o you_o mean_v by_o the_o world_n the_o elect_n only_o or_o else_o more_o than_o the_o elect_n or_o all_o mankind_n in_o general_a but_o say_v i_o neither_o of_o the_o former_a sense_n can_v be_v mean_v neither_o the_o elect_a only_o nor_o some_o other_o beside_o the_o elect_n but_o only_o the_o whole_a posterity_n of_o adam_n m._n powell_n i_o say_v by_o the_o word_n world_n in_o this_o place_n be_v mean_v the_o elect_a only_o because_o the_o evangelist_n say_v god_n so_o love_v the_o world_n he_o put_v a_o so_o upon_o it_o now_o you_o never_o find_v that_o god_n in_o scripture_n be_v say_v to_o love_v all_o the_o posterity_n of_o adam_n with_o such_o a_o love_n which_o be_v here_o call_v a_o love_a of_o they_o so_o and_o which_o be_v call_v in_o eph._n 2._o a_o great_a love_n m._n goodwin_n the_o scripture_n hold_v forth_o a_o twofold_a love_n of_o god_n first_o a_o general_a love_n which_o be_v attribute_v to_o he_o in_o respect_n of_o all_o his_o creature_n and_o second_o a_o more_o particular_a and_o special_a love_n that_o be_v to_o those_o who_o have_v behave_v themselves_o according_a to_o his_o will_n and_o word_n by_o believe_v in_o his_o son_n and_o so_o by_o faith_n and_o holiness_n continue_v to_o the_o end_n and_o whereas_o you_o conceive_v that_o this_o particle_n so_o here_o in_o the_o text_n be_v only_o augmentative_a that_o it_o only_o declare_v the_o greatness_n of_o the_o love_n of_o god_n this_o i_o absolute_o deny_v for_o together_o with_o the_o greatness_n of_o this_o love_n it_o do_v modify_v and_o restrain_v it_o and_o reduce_v it_o to_o this_o form_n and_o tenor_n of_o love_n it_o be_v not_o say_v simple_o so_o god_n love_v the_o world_n that_o he_o give_v his_o son_n that_o all_o the_o world_n shall_v be_v save_v then_o indeed_o it_o have_v be_v only_o augmentative_a but_o mark_v the_o condition_n which_o come_v in_o upon_o which_o god_n love_v the_o world_n and_o intend_v to_o save_v it_o viz._n that_o whosoever_o believe_v shall_v be_v save_v which_o show_v that_o this_o particle_n so_o be_v not_o only_o intensive_a and_o do_v not_o only_o stand_v there_o to_o declare_v the_o greatness_n and_o transcendency_n of_o the_o love_n of_o god_n to_o the_o world_n but_o the_o tenor_n and_o the_o limitation_n of_o it_o how_o and_o upon_o what_o term_v god_n love_v the_o world_n viz._n that_o he_o give_v his_o son_n jesus_n christ_n so_o and_o upon_o such_o term_n only_o that_o whosoever_o believe_v in_o he_o shall_v not_o perish_v but_o have_v everlasting_a life_n m._n powell_n you_o affirm_v these_o two_o thing_n that_o there_o be_v a_o general_a and_o a_o special_a love_n in_o god_n and_o when_o you_o speak_v of_o the_o general_a you_o speak_v of_o it_o as_o extend_v to_o all_o the_o creature_n but_o second_o when_o you_o speak_v of_o a_o special_a love_n you_o seem_v to_o say_v that_o it_o be_v not_o a_o special_a love_n which_o this_o word_n so_o hold_v out_o but_o i_o say_v this_o be_v a_o special_a love_n my_o reason_n be_v this_o because_o the_o apostle_n when_o he_o speak_v of_o this_o very_a love_n in_o the_o 5._o of_o the_o rom._n he_o say_v that_o god_n commend_v his_o love_n towards_o we_o that_o whilst_o we_o be_v yet_o sinner_n christ_n die_v for_o we_o this_o scripture_n explain_v the_o other_o and_o this_o must_v of_o necessity_n be_v special_a love_n m._n goodwin_n if_o by_o special_a you_o mean_v great_a and_o wonderful_a and_o so_o forth_o so_o i_o grant_v it_o be_v a_o special_a love_n but_o if_o you_o mean_v such_o a_o love_n or_o affection_n in_o god_n which_o be_v express_v or_o bear_v by_o he_o towards_o those_o that_o do_v actual_o believe_v so_o that_o place_n in_o the_o roman_n do_v not_o hold_v forth_o or_o speak_v of_o any_o such_o love_n for_o the_o love_n of_o god_n be_v general_a and_o he_o commend_v it_o exceed_o and_o marvellous_o herein_o but_o yet_o it_o be_v a_o love_n so_o limit_v and_o qualify_v by_o god_n that_o no_o person_n shall_v partake_v of_o the_o fruit_n of_o it_o but_o those_o that_o shall_v believe_v and_o further_o this_o condition_n which_o god_n put_v upon_o the_o partake_n of_o the_o fruit_n of_o his_o love_n do_v not_o represent_v his_o love_n the_o less_o commendable_a or_o less_o worthy_a of_o he_o god_n do_v not_o show_v himself_o less_o love_v hereby_o but_o only_o declare_v himself_o herein_o to_o be_v a_o god_n as_o well_o of_o wisdom_n as_o of_o love_n and_o it_o be_v his_o wisdom_n that_o do_v moderate_a and_o steer_v all_o his_o attribute_n in_o all_o their_o issue_n and_o go_n forth_o unto_o the_o world_n now_o it_o have_v not_o be_v a_o love_n worthy_a of_o god_n so_o infinite_a in_o wisdom_n and_o goodness_n towards_o those_o who_o you_o call_v the_o elect_n that_o they_o shall_v partake_v of_o the_o benefit_n of_o this_o love_n but_o in_o and_o by_o and_o upon_o their_o believe_v m._n powell_n from_o this_o i_o gather_v two_o thing_n first_o that_o the_o special_a love_n of_o god_n be_v towards_o man_n that_o be_v believer_n and_o that_o upon_o condition_n of_o believe_v and_o second_o you_o say_v that_o that_o be_v the_o meaning_n of_o the_o apostle_n in_o the_o roman_n m._n goodwin_n no_o that_o i_o do_v not_o but_o the_o contrary_a and_o that_o it_o be_v the_o same_o with_o that_o which_o be_v here_o speak_v of_o for_o it_o be_v say_v that_o whilst_o we_o be_v yet_o sinner_n god_n send_v
