the_o particular_n 1._o though_o we_o grant_v that_o christ_n death_n and_o passion_n do_v in_o order_n precede_v faith_n yet_o it_o be_v false_a that_o it_o go_v before_o infidelity_n in_o order_n for_o infidelity_n in_o order_n go_v before_o man_n sin_n and_o his_o enmity_n against_o god_n as_o in_o order_n the_o cause_n precede_v the_o effect_n but_o sin_n and_o man_n enmity_n against_o god_n in_o order_n precede_v the_o passion_n and_o death_n of_o christ_n as_o the_o apostle_n witness_v for_o christ_n when_o as_o yet_o we_o be_v without_o strength_n in_o his_o own_o time_n he_o die_v for_o the_o wicked_a 9_o rom._n 5.6_o 8_o 9_o also_o when_o as_o yet_o we_o be_v sinner_n and_o enemy_n we_o be_v reconcile_v by_o the_o death_n of_o his_o son_n therefore_o infidelity_n in_o order_n precede_v the_o passion_n and_o death_n of_o christ_n again_o there_o be_v no_o consequence_n christ_n death_n in_o order_n precede_v faith_n and_o infidelity_n therefore_o it_o be_v absurd_a to_o say_v that_o christ_n die_v for_o the_o faithful_a and_o unfaithful_a as_o they_o be_v such_o for_o they_o delude_v we_o under_o the_o fallacy_n of_o non_fw-la causa_fw-la for_o whatsoever_o become_v of_o the_o order_n of_o faith_n and_o infidelity_n to_o christ_n death_n it_o be_v most_o true_a that_o christ_n die_v for_o believer_n and_o unbeliever_n as_o they_o be_v such_o removing_z the_o

such_o to_o wit_n antecedent_o that_o be_v who_o in_o order_n be_v sinner_n and_o enemy_n before_o christ_n death_n than_o it_o be_v most_o true_a that_o christ_n die_v for_o infidel_n as_o they_o

the_o same_o be_v also_o most_o true_a of_o believer_n and_o that_o whether_o christ_n death_n be_v absolute_o consider_v in_o itself_o or_o in_o relation_n to_o christ_n intention_n and_o the_o
