of_o scripture_n allege_v wherein_o this_o word_n world_n especial_o with_o the_o addition_n of_o whole_a as_o 1._o epist_n of_o joh._n cap._n 2._o v._n 2._o he_o place_v equivalent_a to_o this_o for_o the_o matter_n of_o it_o and_o a_o comment_n upon_o it_o i_o say_v no_o place_n i_o think_v can_v be_v produce_v where_o world_n do_v signify_v only_o the_o elect_n or_o only_a believer_n but_o it_o signifi_v either_o all_o man_n or_o at_o least_o the_o most_o man_n live_v in_o some_o certain_a place_n and_o at_o some_o certain_a time_n but_o without_o distinction_n of_o good_a and_o bad_a or_o if_o it_o be_v use_v any_o where_n more_o restrayned_o it_o be_v apply_v only_o to_o wicked_a and_o reprobate_a man_n who_o in_o their_o affection_n be_v wed_v to_o the_o world_n and_o its_o

it_o can_v bear_v this_o signification_n here_o because_o 1_o the_o word_n than_o will_v have_v a_o senseless_a construction_n for_o thus_o will_v they_o run_v god_n so_o love_v the_o elect_n that_o

damn_a and_o save_v comprehend_v all_o mankind_n for_o there_o be_v no_o man_n but_o he_o be_v one_o of_o these_o now_o world_n in_o this_o place_n include_v believer_n and_o unbeliever_n the_o save_v and_o the_o damn_a as_o appear_v most_o plain_o to_o he_o that_o lay_v the_o 16_o 17._o and_o 18._o verse_n together_o therefore_o it_o signifi_v here_o all_o mankind_n without_o exception_n of_o

of_o they_o in_o come_v to_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o truth_n that_o so_o they_o may_v be_v save_v there_o be_v no_o let_v in_o god_n but_o that_o all_o man_n may_v believe_v and_o be_v save_v and_o therefore_o there_o be_v no_o absolute_a will_n that_o many_o thousand_o man_n shall_v die_v in_o unbelief_n and_o be_v damn_v two_o answer_n be_v usual_o return_v which_o i_o confess_v give_v i_o little_a satisfaction_n 1_o that_o by_o all_z here_o we_o be_v to_o understand_v all_o sort_n and_o not_o every_o particular_a man_n in_o those_o sort_n it_o be_v true_a that_o all_z be_v sometime_o so_o take_v in_o scripture_n but_o i_o believe_v not_o here_o for_o the_o very_a context_n show_v that_o we_o be_v to_o understand_v by_o it_o the_o individual_n and_o not_o the_o kind_n in_o the_o first_o verse_n there_o be_v a_o duty_n enjoin_v i_o will_v that_o prayer_n and_o supplication_n be_v make_v for_o all_o man_n and_o in_o this_o verse_n the_o motive_n be_v annex_v god_n will_v have_v all_o to_o be_v save_v as_o if_o he_o shall_v have_v say_v our_o charity_n must_v reach_v to_o all_o who_o god_n extend_v his_o love_n to_o god_n out_o of_o his_o love_n will_v have_v all_o to_o be_v save_v and_o therefore_o in_o charity_n we_o must_v pray_v for_o all_o now_o in_o the_o duty_n all_o signifi_v every_o man_n for_o no_o man_n though_o wicked_a and_o profane_a be_v to_o be_v include_v from_o our_o prayer_n pray_v for_o they_o say_v our_o saviour_n that_o persecute_v you_o and_o pray_v say_v the_o apostle_n here_o for_o king_n and_o all_o that_o be_v in_o authority_n man_n in_o those_o day_n though_o the_o great_a yet_o the_o worst_a the_o very_a lion_n wolf_n and_o bear_n of_o the_o church_n pray_v for_o they_o and_o if_o for_o they_o then_o for_o any_o other_o thus_o in_o the_o duty_n it_o signify_v every_o man_n and_o therefore_o it_o must_v have_v the_o same_o extent_n in_o the_o motive_n too_o or_o else_o the_o motive_n do_v not_o reach_v home_o nor_o be_v strong_a enough_o to_o enforce_v the_o duty_n the_o second_o answer_n be_v that_o god_n will_v have_v all_o to_o be_v save_v with_o his_o reveal_v will_n but_o million_o to_o be_v damn_v with_o his_o secret_a will_n but_o if_o this_o answer_n stand_v than_o in_o my_o apprehension_n these_o inconvenience_n will_v follow_v 1_o that_o god_n word_n which_o be_v his_o revealed_z will_n be_v not_o interpretation_n of_o his_o mind_n and_o meaning_n and_o by_o consequence_n be_v not_o true_a for_o the_o speech_n which_o be_v not_o the_o signification_n of_o the_o mind_n be_v a_o

son_n of_o adam_n may_v be_v save_v 3_o that_o one_o of_o god_n will_n must_v needs_o be_v bad_a either_o the_o secret_a or_o the_o reveal_v will_n for_o of_o contrary_n if_o the_o one_o be_v good_a the_o other_o be_v bad_a and_o so_o of_o god_n contrary_a will_n if_o one_o be_v good_a the_o other_o must_v needs_o be_v bad_a for_o malum_fw-la est_fw-la contrarium_fw-la bono_fw-mi ●_o 〈◊〉_d 3._o
