it_o be_v of_o the_o nature_n of_o a_o lie_n there_o be_v no_o line_n of_o coherence_n in_o it_o to_o lead_v one_o along_o as_o we_o have_v instance_n here_o one_o while_o they_o say_v god_n hate_v

to_o unridle_v then_o the_o word_n common_a be_v either_o to_o be_v understand_v according_a to_o they_o as_o vile_a import_v a_o thing_n of_o mean_a or_o no_o value_n in_o which_o sense_n to_o

this_o most_o common_a understanding_n of_o the_o word_n common_a it_o appear_v the_o apostle_n themselves_o be_v save_v by_o common_a grace_n from_o their_o own_o testimony_n that_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n that_o bring_v salvation_n have_v appear_v unto_o all_o man_n 12._o tit._n 2.11_o 12._o teach_v we_o say_v they_o that_o deny_v ungodliness_n and_o worldly_a lust_n we_o shall_v live_v

but_o be_v it_o so_o or_o not_o there_o be_v a_o great_a misunderstand_a of_o they_o among_o many_o people_n who_o from_o hence_o 1._o distinguish_v all_o mankind_n into_o elect_n and_o reprobate_n 2._o the_o first_o they_o make_v but_o a_o very_a small_a number_n 3._o the_o latter_a a_o huge_a number_n and_o abundance_n of_o infant_n and_o young_a child_n among_o they_o 4._o they_o conclude_v
