beside_o that_o it_o open_v a_o gap_n to_o some_o absurdity_n whereof_o we_o be_v not_o to_o speak_v at_o this_o time_n it_o be_v a_o evasion_n for_o want_n if_o better_a light_n in_o god_n truth_n to_o manifest_a god_n mind_n the_o second_o meaning_n of_o these_o word_n be_v when_o the_o word_n all_o man_n about_o which_o all_o our_o question_n be_v be_v interpret_v of_o every_o particular_a

use_v this_o word_n all_o for_o all_o sort_n and_o kind_n of_o man_n of_o all_o nation_n people_n and_o tongue_n of_o what_o state_n or_o condition_n soever_o they_o be_v and_o so_o the_o meaning_n will_v be_v this_o that_o no_o sort_n nor_o estate_n nor_o condition_n of_o mankind_n no_o nation_n nor_o kindred_n tongue_n or_o sex_n be_v exclude_v but_o that_o god_n will_v have_v man_n of_o all_o

refer_v it_o to_o that_o which_o be_v god_n will_v in_o we_o towards_o man_n to_o make_v this_o more_o plain_a you_o be_v to_o consider_v god_n will_v either_o as_o we_o take_v it_o for_o that_o which_o be_v in_o god_n himself_o touch_v the_o salvation_n of_o man_n or_o as_o we_o refer_v it_o to_o that_o which_o god_n will_v to_o be_v in_o we_o &_o especial_o in_o such_o as_o preach_v the_o

but_o if_o we_o consider_v they_o in_o the_o second_o respect_n of_o god_n will_n than_o the_o meaning_n will_v be_v this_o that_o it_o be_v god_n will_n that_o we_o and_o every_o one_o of_o we_o that_o be_v christian_n &_o especial_o those_o that_o be_v dispenser_n of_o the_o mystery_n of_o god_n shall_v labour_v both_o by_o prayer_n &_o preach_v for_o the_o salvation_n of_o every_o man_n under_o the_o sun_n and_o sure_o this_o interpretation_n may_v stand_v without_o any_o offence_n because_o the_o apostle_n bring_v this_o as_o a_o reason_n why_o we_o shall_v pray_v for_o all_o man_n to_o wit_n even_o because_o it_o be_v god_n will_v that_o we_o shall_v without_o exception_n seek_v to_o save_v all_o man_n and_o in_o this_o respect_n this_o sense_n may_v stand_v for_o every_o

so_o this_o will_n of_o god_n be_v to_o be_v consider_v of_o that_o which_o god_n will_v have_v to_o be_v in_o our_o practice_n but_o not_o of_o that_o which_o be_v in_o his_o own_o purpose_n and_o yet_o even_o in_o this_o sense_n there_o be_v a_o exception_n manifest_a in_o god_n own_o word_n for_o it_o be_v not_o lawful_a to_o pray_v for_o any_o that_o commit_v the_o since_o against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n as_o be_v clear_a in_o the_o 1._o epis_fw-la of_o john_n 5._o chap._n 16._o vers_fw-la so_o that_o the_o most_o commodious_a sense_n that_o we_o can_v give_v to_o these_o word_n it_o can_v hold_v for_o every_o particular_a man_n without_o some_o manifest_a exception_n these_o be_v the_o four_o interpretation_n of_o any_o moment_n that_o be_v apply_v to_o these_o word_n where_o of_o this_o last_o as_o it_o may_v probable_o seem_v to_o be_v the_o apostle_n meaning_n so_o it_o may_v satisfy_v every_o man_n if_o the_o newness_n of_o it_o as_o not_o be_v yet_o set_v abroad_o in_o the_o world_n be_v not_o a_o let_v and_o hindrance_n to_o the_o embrace_v and_o receave_a of_o it_o therefore_o not_o stand_v upon_o it_o but_o leave_v it_o to_o be_v of_o weight_n according_a as_o it_o shall_v affect_v the_o mind_n of_o the_o hearer_n we_o come_v to_o speak_v of_o the_o second_o and_o three_o interpretation_n in_o which_o stand_v the_o whole_a controversy_n to_o find_v out_o which_o of_o these_o two_o interpretation_n contain_v the_o true_a meaning_n of_o these_o word_n we_o be_v careful_o to_o weigh_v if_o any_o of_o they_o can_v stand_v without_o notable_a inconvenience_n and_o great_a absurdity_n yea_o blasphemy_n against_o god_n truth_n and_o such_o other_o property_n of_o god_n without_o which_o god_n be_v not_o god_n at_o all_o and_o which_o do_v

infer_v these_o absurdity_n can_v possible_o be_v god_n meaning_n in_o these_o word_n so_o that_o we_o must_v reject_v it_o as_o impious_a and_o take_v that_o other_o which_o exclude_v all_o the_o former_a absurdity_n &_o full_o agree_v with_o the_o truth_n of_o god_n else_o where_o and_o justify_v god_n in_o his_o nature_n providence_n power_n and_o truth_n now_o concern_v the_o take_v these_o word_n for_o god_n will_v touch_v the_o salvation_n of_o every_o particular_a man_n do_v necessary_o infer_v the_o former_a absurdity_n whereas_o take_v they_o in_o the_o second_o sense_n that_o be_v for_o all_o sort_n &_o kind_n of_o man_n no_o inconvenience_n do_v follow_v upon_o it_o nor_o shall_v there_o any_o contradiction_n be_v find_v in_o it_o to_o the_o rest_n of_o god_n truth_n reveal_v in_o the_o scripture_n but_o shall_v be_v find_v sound_o to_o agree_v with_o it_o in_o all_o thing_n to_o make_v this_o manifest_a we_o will_v come_v to_o the_o proof_n of_o this_o wherein_o that_o we_o may_v give_v the_o great_a satisfaction_n to_o all_o man_n we_o will_v examine_v the_o truth_n of_o this_o will_n of_o god_n touch_v the_o salvation_n of_o man_n first_o as_o the_o scripture_n

flesh_n it_o be_v most_o clear_a and_o evident_a that_o neither_o of_o these_o interpretation_n can_v stand_v for_o the_o will_n of_o god_n before_o christ_n be_v so_o far_o from_o save_v every_o particular_a man_n in_o the_o world_n that_o it_o be_v not_o his_o will_n to_o save_v every_o nation_n or_o people_n or_o kindred_n etc._n etc._n see_v that_o it_o be_v plain_a in_o the_o scripture_n that_o from_o abraham_n to_o christ_n salvation_n only_o do_v belong_v unto_o the_o jews_n and_o god_n do_v expresselie_o seclude_v all_o the_o nation_n of_o the_o gentile_n from_o his_o covenant_n
