according_a to_o this_o exposition_n it_o be_v evident_a that_o it_o be_v imply_v that_o christ_n die_v for_o these_o man_n or_o else_o there_o seem_v no_o force_n in_o the_o argument_n to_o prove_v their_o sin_n unpardonable_a and_o themselves_o unrecoverable_a for_o the_o holy_a ghost_n here_o plain_o intimate_v that_o this_o unrecoverableness_n be_v the_o fruit_n of_o their_o apostasy_n and_o that_o they_o be_v not_o unrecoverable_a before_o they_o be_v apostate_n and_o yet_o the_o reason_n of_o their_o uncureableness_n lie_v in_o this_o that_o it_o be_v necessary_a to_o their_o pardon_n and_o cure_v that_o christ_n shall_v die_v again_o which_o can_v be_v now_o it_o imply_v that_o he_o die_v for_o they_o as_o they_o be_v in_o their_o state_n before_o apostasy_n or_o else_o on_o this_o reason_n it_o may_v be_v say_v as_o well_o that_o their_o recovery_n and_o pardon_n be_v as_o impossible_a then_o and_o so_o their_o apostasy_n shall_v not_o be_v the_o reason_n but_o christ_n not_o die_v for_o they_o at_o all_o shall_v be_v it_o which_o be_v plain_o contrary_a to_o the_o text._n but_o if_o any_o will_v needs_o deny_v this_o most_o probable_a interpretation_n and_o expound_v it_o efficient_a that_o they_o do_v as_o much_o as_o they_o can_v to_o kill_v christ_n again_o by_o their_o malice_n and_o contempt_n and_o make_v he_o to_o be_v but_o as_o a_o malefactor_n do_v approve_v of_o the_o jew_n crucify_a he_o as_o grotius_n and_o many_o more_o expound_v it_o still_o it_o intimate_v that_o their_o sin_n do_v put_v he_o to_o death_n once_o before_o or_o else_o what_o force_n be_v there_o in_o the_o argument_n for_o it_o seem_v to_o run_v thus_o they_o that_o as_o much_o as_o in_o they_o lie_v put_v christ_n to_o death_n twice_o or_o a_o second_o time_n be_v remediless_a but_o so_o do_v these_o apostate_n ergo_fw-la etc._n etc._n now_o if_o their_o sin_n as_o the_o pro-causa_a meritoria_fw-la have_v no_o hand_n in_o his_o death_n at_o first_o how_o can_v they_o be_v therefore_o remediless_a for_o endeavour_v it_o a_o second_o time_n for_o it_o be_v but_o once_o by_o they_o and_o if_o the_o same_o sin_n be_v pardonable_a in_o those_o that_o not_o only_o in_o desire_n but_o in_o act_n do_v put_v he_o to_o death_n viz._n the_o jew_n than_o it_o appear_v that_o it_o be_v a_o pardonable_a sin_n and_o that_o the_o same_o sin_n nay_o the_o conatus_fw-la or_o mere_a desire_n of_o it_o which_o be_v pardonable_a then_o shall_v become_v unpardonable_a since_o as_o it_o be_v a_o fancy_n and_o have_v no_o scripture_n proof_n so_o it_o be_v apparent_o false_a see_v it_o suppose_v that_o the_o law_n of_o christ_n be_v not_o now_o the_o same_o as_o then_o which_o be_v false_a a_o second_o argument_n for_o universal_a satisfaction_n this_o text_n afford_v we_o christ_n satisfy_v for_o all_o those_o who_o be_v enlighten_v and_o have_v taste_v of_o the_o heavenly_a gift_n and_o be_v make_v partaker_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n etc._n etc._n but_o some_o non-elect_a be_v such_o therefore_o christ_n satisfy_v for_o some_o non_fw-fr elect_n and_o consequent_o for_o all_o this_o argument_n be_v urge_v before_o therefore_o i_o shall_v say_v little_a to_o it_o some_o answer_n to_o the_o minor_a that_o it_o be_v to_o be_v deny_v because_o this_o text_n do_v nihil_fw-la ponere_fw-la sed_fw-la tantum_fw-la supponere_fw-la answer_v but_o it_o do_v not_o suppose_v that_o which_o never_o be_v nor_o will_v be_v nor_o be_v possible_a most_o interpreter_n almost_o all_o that_o be_v against_o universal_a satisfaction_n do_v expound_v this_o text_n of_o those_o gift_n which_o may_v and_o oft_o be_v real_o lose_v the_o number_n be_v so_o many_o that_o i_o will_v cite_v none_o 2._o it_o be_v further_a say_v by_o some_o that_o these_o benefit_n presuppose_v not_o christ_n die_v for_o they_o answer_v this_o be_v answer_v already_o they_o that_o can_v prove_v that_o god_n can_v will_n and_o do_v give_v all_o these_o without_o satisfaction_n to_o his_o justice_n first_o make_v be_v but_o a_o step_n from_o socinianism_n and_o may_v next_o say_v he_o can_v and_o will_v give_v pardon_n without_o satisfaction_n and_o then_o they_o be_v within_o a_o step_n of_o infidelity_n and_o next_o in_o danger_n of_o say_v that_o christ_n die_v in_o vain_a sure_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v give_v by_o christ_n crucify_a and_o i_o think_v only_o to_o they_o for_o who_o he_o be_v crucify_a the_o devil_n be_v not_o therefore_o uncurable_a for_o aught_o any_o scripture_n reveal_v because_o they_o will_v put_v christ_n to_o death_n through_o malice_n if_o it_o be_v in_o their_o power_n nor_o have_v they_o ever_o these_o fruit_n of_o his_o death_n but_o according_a to_o their_o sense_n against_o who_o i_o argue_v the_o devil_n may_v hence_o be_v say_v to_o be_v unpardonable_a as_o well_o as_o apostate_n which_o be_v no_o scripture_n doctrine_n the_o seven_o text_n which_o i_o shall_v urge_v be_v heb._n 10._o 26_o 27_o 28_o 29._o for_o if_o we_o sin_v wilful_o after_o we_o have_v receive_v the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o truth_n there_o remain_v no_o more_o sacrifice_n for_o sin_n but_o a_o certain_a fearful_a look_v for_o of_o judgement_n and_o fiery_a indignation_n which_o shall_v devour_v the_o adversary_n he_o that_o despise_a moses_n law_n die_v without_o mercy_n under_o two_o or_o three_o witness_n of_o how_o

wherewith_o he_o be_v sanctify_v a_o unholy_a thing_n and_o have_v do_v despite_n to_o the_o spirit_n of_o grace_n hence_o i_o raise_v two_o argument_n 1._o those_o who_o receive_v the_o mercy_n here_o mention_v be_v of_o the_o number_n of_o they_o for_o who_o christ_n diéd_v but_o such_o be_v some_o non-elect_a ergo_fw-la etc._n etc._n the_o blood_n of_o the_o covenant_n be_v shed_v before_o

application_n presuppose_v it_o shed_v for_o they_o i_o mean_v if_o by_o sanctification_n be_v mean_v either_o separation_n relative_a from_o the_o world_n to_o the_o church_n and_o to_o christ_n secundum_fw-la quid_fw-la or_o else_o sanctification_n real_a by_o give_v man_n a_o temporary_a faith_n and_o other_o grace_n proportionable_a and_o their_o escape_v the_o pollution_n of_o the_o world_n by_o that_o faith_n but_o some_o think_v that_o by_o sanctification_n be_v mean_v that_o cleanse_n which_o immediate_o follow_v the_o sacrifice_n the_o word_n be_v use_v from_o the_o jewish_a sanctifying_n and_o so_o by_o sanctification_n shall_v be_v mean_v that_o conditional_a justification_n or_o cleanse_v which_o all_o man_n have_v immediate_o from_o christ_n crucify_v before_o any_o further_a personal_a application_n and_o if_o this_o be_v so_o than_o the_o case_n be_v plain_a and_o past_a question_n the_o second_o argument_n be_v from_o those_o word_n there_o remain_v no_o more_o sacrifice_n for_o sin_n but_o etc._n etc._n here_o the_o apostle_n prove_v the_o uncurableness_n and_o desperateness_n of_o their_o case_n in_o that_o there_o remain_v no_o more_o sacrifice_n and_o this_o be_v proper_a to_o they_o when_o they_o be_v apostate_n now_o if_o there_o be_v never_o
