A93680	Gods ordinance, the saints priviledge. Discovered and proved in two treatises. The first, the saints interest by Christ in all the priviledges of grace: wherein their right to the use of baptisme, and the Lords supper, even now during the reign of Antichrist, is cleared; and the objections of those that oppose the same, are answered. The second, the peculiar interest of the elect in Christ, and his saving grace: wherein it is proved that Christ hath not presented to his fathers justice a satisfaction for the sinnes of all men; but onely for the sinnes of those that doe, or shall believe in him; which are his elect onely: and the objections of those that maintaine the contrary, are also answered. / Both written by John Spilsberie. And the last transcribed, and somewhat enlarged, by Benjamin Coxe. Licensed, entred, and printed according to order.	J. S.

chargeable_a of_o any_o sin_n if_o the_o gospel_n have_v not_o be_v preach_v to_o they_o our_o answer_n be_v this_o christ_n do_v not_o here_o say_v if_o the_o gospel_n have_v not_o be_v preach_v to_o

the_o jew_n be_v chargeable_a of_o sin_n before_o christ_n wrought_v his_o miracle_n among_o they_o before_o he_o preach_v unto_o they_o in_o his_o own_o person_n and_o before_o his_o incarnation_n

50._o and_o judas_n 7._o our_o interpretation_n of_o christ_n word_n do_v agree_v plain_o with_o the_o clear_a meaning_n of_o that_o in_o james_n 4.17_o to_o he_o that_o know_v to_o do_v good_a and_o
