a_o world_n but_o many_o thousand_o of_o world_n yet_o it_o be_v never_o intend_v by_o the_o father_n in_o give_v of_o his_o son_n to_o die_v or_o by_o the_o son_n in_o lay_v down_o his_o life_n that_o the_o reprobate_n shall_v be_v save_v or_o that_o christ_n dearth_n shall_v frustrate_v god_n decree_n and_o therefore_o see_v how_o ineffectual_a all_o the_o ordinance_n of_o god_n be_v to_o
