1694._o joseph_z read_z of_o universal_a redemption_n chap._n 1._o the_o general_a question_n whether_o christ_n die_v for_o all_o man_n and_o not_o only_o for_o the_o elect_n aff._n though_o according_a to_o the_o order_n of_o our_o disputation_n i_o must_v direct_o affirm_v or_o deny_v and_o indeed_o may_v safe_o affirm_v as_o the_o question_n be_v thus_o general_o put_v yet_o that_o it_o may_v be_v understand_v in_o what_o sense_n i_o affirm_v it_o it_o be_v necessary_a that_o those_o ambiguity_n be_v remove_v which_o in_o some_o of_o the_o term_n do_v cloud_v the_o sense_n and_o that_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o subject_n be_v somewhat_o open_v and_o indeed_o it_o be_v a_o clear_a explication_n that_o be_v most_o necessary_a in_o this_o controversy_n that_o we_o may_v not_o as_o be_v here_o usual_a fight_v in_o the_o dark_a and_o trouble_v ourselves_o with_o unuseful_a argumentation_n on_o a_o ill_o state_v question_n and_o in_o dubious_a term_n not_o know_v each_o other_o mind_n if_o well_o our_o own_o who_o be_v mean_v by_o christ_n we_o be_v all_o agree_v and_o who_o by_o men_n and_o that_o therefore_o we_o extend_v not_o the_o question_n to_o angel_n though_o that_o with_o some_o be_v a_o great_a dispute_n whether_o christ_n die_v not_o in_o some_o sort_n for_o they_o by_o his_o die_v we_o mean_v his_o whole_a humiliation_n of_o which_o his_o death_n be_v so_o principal_a a_o part_n that_o as_o the_o scripture_n take_v most_o notice_n of_o it_o so_o must_v we_o amesius_n think_v that_o the_o assumption_n of_o the_o human_a nature_n be_v no_o part_n of_o this_o humiliation_n his_o reason_n be_v because_o it_o be_v a_o act_n of_o the_o sole_a deity_n and_o the_o godhead_n can_v suffer_v but_o i_o think_v we_o need_v not_o be_v of_o that_o opinion_n for_o 1._o the_o holy_a ghost_n seem_v to_o i_o to_o contradict_v it_o make_v it_o part_v of_o christ_n humiliation_n to_o make_v himself_o of_o no_o reputation_n and_o take_v upon_o

though_o the_o godhead_n can_v suffer_v the_o loss_n of_o any_o real_a good_a or_o suffer_v any_o pain_n yet_o in_o a_o relative_n sense_n he_o may_v be_v say_v to_o suffer_v while_o he_o be_v

as_o aquin._n speak_v it_o be_v good_a and_o due_a to_o god_n from_o we_o and_o when_o we_o deny_v it_o he_o we_o deprive_v he_o of_o his_o due_n god_n glory_n be_v dear_a to_o he_o or_o else_o

and_o our_o praise_n as_o good_a so_o relative_n and_o reputative_a he_o suffer_v when_o he_o be_v dishonour_v and_o so_o the_o condescension_n be_v so_o great_a indeed_o to_o the_o astonishment_n of_o angel_n and_o man_n that_o it_o may_v well_o be_v take_v for_o part_n of_o christ_n suffer_v that_o â—â—od_n shall_v by_o assume_v so_o mean_a a_o nature_n become_v man_n it_o be_v the_o point_n that_o so_o surpass_v human_a reason_n and_o seem_v so_o improbable_a to_o it_o that_o it_o put_v faith_n hard_o to_o it_o and_o consequent_o ennoble_v it_o more_o than_o any_o other_o in_o the_o

i_o be_o ready_a to_o think_v that_o the_o eclipse_v of_o the_o glory_n of_o the_o godhead_n in_o so_o strange_a a_o condescension_n and_o humility_n not_o only_o in_o his_o assumption_n of_o the_o

that_o i_o think_v its_o suffering_n be_v the_o chief_a for_o merit_n though_o in_o a_o natural_a sense_n it_o be_v uncapable_a of_o suffer_v but_o a_o great_a ambiguity_n lie_v in_o the_o word_n

they_o have_v no_o ground_n to_o love_n or_o thank_v christ_n for_o redeem_v they_o till_o the_o spirit_n have_v without_o any_o sign_n reveal_v their_o election_n to_o they_o which_o i_o think_v it_o never_o do_v last_o the_o spirit_n witness_v with_o our_o spirit_n now_o our_o spirit_n witness_v only_o from_o evidence_n that_o we_o be_v god_n child_n and_o not_o without_o and_o therefore_o whether_o the_o spirit_n be_v a_o concur_v witness_n in_o the_o same_o testimony_n or_o its_o testimony_n be_v a_o concomitant_a testimony_n distinct_a from_o though_o conjunct_a with_o that_o of_o our_o conscience_n i_o think_v the_o former_a yet_o all_o be_v one_o to_o the_o point_n in_o hand_n see_v they_o witness_v together_o so_o much_o for_o the_o minor_a viz._n that_o the_o elect_n be_v bind_v to_o love_n and_o thankfulness_n for_o redemption_n before_o they_o know_v themselves_o elect._n now_o for_o the_o consequence_n of_o the_o major_n it_o it_o clear_a from_o what_o be_v say_v that_o the_o elect_n can_v not_o be_v bind_v to_o this_o except_o the_o non-elect_a be_v also_o because_o as_o be_v prove_v no_o man_n can_v know_v whether_o he_o be_v elect_a or_o not_o before_o he_o know_v himself_o so_o much_o as_o oblige_v to_o love_n and_o gratitude_n for_o redemption_n for_o elect_n and_o non-elect_a be_v not_o to_o to_o be_v discern_v till_o faith_n and_o love_n do_v put_v a_o difference_n and_o therefore_o methinks_v i_o may_v conclude_v confident_o that_o the_o non-elect_a be_v bind_v to_o love_n and_o thankfulness_n for_o redemption_n or_o satisfaction_n and_o therefore_o they_o be_v redeem_v or_o satisfy_v for_o if_o any_o shall_v make_v the_o common_a objection_n viz._n the_o non-elect_a or_o the_o elect_a not_o yet_o convert_v be_v bind_v to_o love_n and_o gratitude_n to_o christ_n for_o satisfy_v for_o all_o that_o will_v believe_v i_o have_v answer_v this_o oft_o already_o 1._o the_o doctrine_n which_o i_o oppose_v be_v that_o christ_n have_v not_o only_o die_v for_o man_n if_o they_o will_v believe_v but_o die_v only_o for_o the_o elect_n that_o they_o may_v believe_v so_o that_o it_o be_v determine_v by_o name_n for_o who_o he_o die_v

they_o be_v exclude_v i_o have_v show_v can_v add_v no_o obligation_n 2._o mens_fw-la believe_v will_v not_o cause_n christ_n to_o die_v for_o they_o nor_o be_v it_o a_o condition_n of_o it_o as_o
