and_o all_o that_o can_v be_v conclude_v from_o it_o if_o we_o shall_v put_v your_o sense_n upon_o it_o be_v this_o that_o it_o be_v the_o will_n of_o god_n that_o all_o man_n shall_v be_v save_v

you_o please_v i_o will_v give_v you_o a_o distinction_n i_o grant_v that_o the_o apostle_n in_o these_o word_n do_v acknowledge_v a_o universality_n of_o all_o man_n but_o here_o i_o distinguish_v all_o man_n that_o be_v either_o first_o all_o man_n of_o all_o sort_n quality_n and_o condition_n rich_a and_o poor_a high_a and_o low_a or_o second_o all_o man_n without_o exception_n of_o any_o all_o man_n in_o the_o world_n i_o grant_v a_o universality_n in_o the_o first_o sense_n that_o it_o be_v the_o will_n of_o god_n that_o all_o man_n that_o be_v that_o man_n of_o all_o sort_n and_o

and_o this_o i_o conceive_v to_o be_v the_o plain_a meaning_n of_o the_o text_n and_o the_o ground_n and_o reason_n why_o he_o will_v have_v we_o pray_v for_o all_o man_n m._n cranford_n m._n

it_o to_o be_v understand_v of_o all_o man_n and_o not_o of_o all_o sort_n and_o rank_n of_o man_n only_o m._n goodwin_n i_o prove_v it_o thus_o if_o so_o be_v a_o limit_a sense_n of_o all_o sort_n and_o rank_n of_o man_n will_v render_v the_o apostle_n in_o this_o discourse_n of_o his_o incongruous_a defective_a and_o indeed_o ridiculous_a than_o the_o other_o sense_n namely_o the_o general_a and_o universal_a which_o respect_v all_o man_n without_o exception_n be_v that_o which_o be_v here_o mean_v but_o the_o limit_a sense_n determine_v it_o to_o all_o rank_n and_o sort_n of_o man_n only_o this_o make_v the_o apostle_n weak_a defective_a and_o ridiculous_a in_o his_o context_n and_o discourse_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v the_o other_o sense_n that_o be_v to_o be_v take_v mr._n

goodwin_n then_o i_o prove_v it_o that_o the_o limit_a sense_n make_v the_o apostle_n weak_a and_o defective_a in_o his_o argument_n thus_o evident_a it_o be_v from_o the_o context_n that_o the_o apostle_n in_o these_o two_o verse_n the_o three_o and_o four_o do_v deliver_v a_o motive_n or_o argument_n to_o press_v his_o exhortation_n deliver_v in_o the_o two_o former_a verse_n this_o be_v clear_a from_o this_o illative_a or_o rationative_n particle_n for_o i_o exhort_v therefore_o that_o first_o of_o all_o supplication_n prayer_n intercession_n and_o give_v of_o thanks_o be_v make_v

motive_n deliver_v in_o these_o two_o verse_n to_o press_v the_o exhortation_n deliver_v in_o the_o two_o former_a now_o than_o i_o say_v if_o so_o be_v we_o shall_v take_v this_o phrase_n all_o man_n here_o in_o this_o motive_n to_o the_o exhortation_n in_o a_o limit_a sense_n it_o make_v the_o sense_n of_o the_o motive_n to_o be_v direct_o opposite_a to_o the_o exhortation_n and_o not_o any_o way_n conduce_v to_o the_o press_v and_o urge_v of_o it_o and_o that_o i_o demonstrate_v thus_o moderator_n i_o pray_v draw_v up_o your_o sense_n into_o a_o short_a syllogism_n m._n goodwin_n for_o matter_n of_o context_n it_o will_v not_o ready_o come_v into_o a_o syllogism_n but_o we_o will_v try_v what_o may_v be_v do_v thus_o than_o i_o prove_v it_o that_o that_o sense_n will_v make_v the_o apostle_n ridiculous_a in_o his_o argument_n if_o so_o be_v such_o a_o sense_n which_o will_v make_v the_o motive_n incongruous_a incoherent_a nay_o opposite_a unto_o that_o very_a end_n for_o which_o it_o be_v bring_v will_v render_v the_o apostle_n ridiculous_a then_o such_o a_o sense_n we_o speak_v of_o a_o limit_a sense_n will_v render_v he_o ridiculous_a but_o to_o bring_v a_o motive_n which_o be_v quite_o contrary_a and_o opposite_a to_o the_o exhortation_n which_o it_o be_v bring_v to_o promote_v and_o press_v this_o make_v the_o apostle_n or_o whosoever_o do_v it_o ridiculous_a defective_a and_o weak_a in_o his_o argument_n therefore_o this_o be_v contrary_n to_o the_o apostle_n

i_o say_v be_v to_o be_v pray_v for_o &_o you_o bring_v a_o scripture_n to_o prove_v that_o some_o man_n that_o have_v put_v themselves_o out_o of_o a_o capacity_n of_o be_v pray_v for_o be_v not_o

that_o such_o man_n as_o these_o aught_o to_o be_v pray_v for_o but_o i_o say_v that_o all_o man_n consider_v simple_o as_o man_n be_v to_o be_v pray_v for_o m._n simp._n these_o be_v word_n which_o you_o bring_v in_o now_o not_o before_o mention_v your_o proposition_n be_v universal_a without_o exception_n that_o all_o man_n be_v to_o be_v pray_v for_o and_o i_o give_v a_o clear_a scripture_n where_o we_o be_v command_v not_o to_o pray_v for_o some_o and_o therefore_o your_o argument_n be_v false_a m._n good_n my_o argument_n be_v not_o false_a because_o i_o do_v not_o intend_v nor_o do_v i_o say_v that_o all_o man_n in_o any_o condition_n be_v to_o be_v pray_v for_o but_o as_o they_o come_v into_o the_o world_n i_o tell_v you_o in_o what_o sense_n i_o affirm_v it_o and_o the_o reason_n why_o i_o do_v not_o distinguish_v and_o limit_v it_o be_v because_o i_o do_v not_o think_v any_o man_n will_v be_v so_o irrational_a as_o to_o conceive_v that_o i_o do_v include_v those_o that_o sin_n against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n i_o think_v you_o have_v have_v more_o understanding_n m._n simp._n the_o thing_n that_o you_o have_v endeavour_v to_o prove_v be_v that_o the_o apostle_n in_o that_o place_n of_o timothy_n exhort_v that_o prayer_n shall_v be_v make_v for_o all_o man_n in_o general_a but_o we_o prove_v that_o that_o can_v be_v the_o sense_n because_o it_o be_v contrary_a to_o another_o apostle_n as_o in_o this_o place_n of_o john_n m._n good_n nay_o i_o tell_v you_o it_o be_v not_o contrary_a to_o that_o scripture_n though_o it_o shall_v be_v take_v in_o such_o a_o sense_n because_o those_o very_a person_n who_o be_v there_o exclude_v by_o reason_n of_o that_o sin_n the_o very_a same_o person_n before_o the_o commit_v thereof_o be_v capable_a of_o

to_o the_o purpose_n and_o i_o prove_v it_o thus_o the_o commit_v of_o the_o sin_n against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n do_v not_o multiply_v person_n in_o the_o world_n do_v not_o make_v more_o soul_n to_o be_v in_o the_o world_n then_o there_o be_v and_o i_o say_v that_o all_o person_n even_o these_o before_o they_o have_v sin_v that_o sin_n they_o be_v include_v in_o the_o apostle_n all_o and_o you_o can_v prove_v that_o any_o person_n in_o the_o world_n than_o have_v commit_v the_o sin_n against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o if_o you_o can_v yet_o this_o be_v not_o to_o the_o purpose_n for_o even_o these_o very_a person_n before_o they_o have_v commit_v that_o sin_n be_v person_n to_o be_v pray_v for_o and_o consequent_o all_o m._n simp._n i_o show_v there_o be_v a_o positive_a command_n that_o we_o shall_v not_o pray_v for_o some_o man_n therefore_o what_o mr._n goodwin_n say_v can_v be_v according_a to_o the_o mind_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n i_o beseech_v you_o speak_v something_o that_o we_o may_v not_o spend_v all_o our_o time_n upon_o one_o scripture_n but_o if_o you_o please_v let_v we_o proceed_v to_o another_o m._n good_n now_o you_o take_v upon_o you_o the_o place_n of_o a_o moderator_n m._n simp._n sir_n i_o consider_v the_o people_n and_o i_o think_v it_o very_o unprofitable_a for_o the_o hearer_n to_o insist_v so_o long_o upon_o one_o scripture_n m._n good_n i_o conceive_v it_o most_o profitable_a for_o as_o the_o light_n of_o the_o sun_n be_v more_o profitable_a than_o the_o light_n of_o all_o the_o star_n so_o one_o scripture_n where_o the_o truth_n be_v

be_v pray_v for_o when_o the_o apostle_n say_v express_o that_o some_o particular_a man_n be_v not_o to_o be_v pray_v for_o m._n good_n this_o be_v that_o which_o i_o say_v that_o man_n commit_v the_o unpardonable_a sin_n do_v not_o multiply_v person_n in_o the_o world_n but_o these_o very_a man_n before_o they_o have_v commit_v that_o sin_n be_v to_o be_v pray_v for_o mr._n cranf_n sir_n you_o have_v wade_v in_o this_o argument_n i_o conceive_v as_o far_o as_o your_o argument_n will_v drive_v from_o this_o scripture_n the_o substance_n of_o all_o be_v this_o you_o contend_v that_o every_o
