A77642	Scripture-redemption freed from men's restrictions: being an answer to a book lately published by Mr. William Troughton (who stiles himself a minister of the gospel at Onlep in Leicester-shire) intituled, scripture-redemption restrained and limited: as also the substance of several conferences and disputes had in England, Wales, and Scotland, with Mr. Heath, Mr. Bartley, Mr. Powel, Mr. Sam. Rutherford, and Mr. James Wood, two rectors of the university of S. Andrews, and many others, about the death of our most dear redeemer, and the controversies which are the constant concomitants of it. Together with a brief reply to Mr. Troughton's rayling accusations in his introduction. By J. Brown, sometimes of Orial Coll. in Oxford, afterwards a priest of the Church of England, and vicar of Tenbury in Worcester-shire; but now through mercy a preacher of the faith which once he destroyed.

attend_v to_o false_a teacher_n and_o satan_n temptation_n they_o begin_v to_o question_v whether_o christ_n die_v for_o they_o and_o then_o all_o their_o unstable_a hope_n vanish_v and_o their_o

for_o i_o i_o shall_v be_v save_v though_o i_o go_v on_o and_o enjoy_v my_o lust_n etc._n etc._n it_o be_v nothing_o so_o and_o they_o that_o hold_v that_o christ_n die_v for_o all_o man_n according_a

to_o many_o to_o which_o i_o answer_v first_o here_o mr._n troughton_n miserable_o contradicct_v himself_o for_o he_o hold_v that_o they_o who_o christ_n die_v for_o can_v never_o die_v in_o despair_n

of_o christ_n that_o god_n will_v save_v some_o man_n that_o live_v and_o die_v in_o sin_n and_o that_o other_o who_o so_o live_v and_o die_v shall_v be_v damn_v that_o one_o liar_n shall_v be_v

in_o the_o creature_n they_o hold_v that_o god_n be_v never_o angry_a with_o his_o elect_n and_o hence_o it_o that_o some_o say_v god_n be_v no_o more_o angry_a with_o david_n after_o he_o have_v

believe_v and_o be_v save_v and_o appoint_v other_o to_o sin_n and_o be_v damn_v and_o this_o they_o call_v the_o distinguish_a love_n of_o god_n which_o make_v m._n troughton_n ask_v page_z 56._o where_o be_v the_o distinguish_a love_n of_o god_n if_o christ_n die_v for_o all_o i_o answer_v first_o in_o that_o he_o give_v christ_n to_o die_v for_o all_o man_n and_o not_o for_o the_o fall_v
