god_n be_v capable_a to_o have_v procure_v their_o happiness_n for_o it_o will_v be_v unjust_a to_o condemn_v man_n for_o not_o do_v of_o a_o thing_n and_o yet_o condemn_v they_o too_o although_o they_o do_v it_o and_o therefore_o a_o good_a life_n join_v with_o their_o knowledge_n must_v leave_v they_o with_o a_o reasonable_a excuse_n or_o make_v they_o capable_a of_o salvation_n it_o be_v true_a st._n paul_n speak_v in_o general_a term_n that_o the_o gentile_n be_v idolater_n and_o for_o that_o reason_n condemnable_a as_o act_v contrary_a to_o knowledge_n but_o that_o all_o the_o gentile_n thus_o act_v contrary_a to_o knowledge_n do_v by_o no_o mean_n follow_v from_o st._n paul_n manner_n of_o express_v himself_o it_o be_v usual_a in_o scripture_n to_o speak_v of_o all_o in_o general_a and_o comprehensive_a term_n when_o such_o as_o be_v or_o may_v be_v except_v be_v very_o few_o in_o number_n so_o the_o prophet_n elijah_n in_o the_o term_n of_o that_o general_a apostasy_n under_o ahab_n exclaim_v say_v that_o he_o alone_o be_v leave_v of_o all_o the_o true_a worshipper_n of_o god_n 1_o king_n 19_o but_o god_n tell_v he_o that_o he_o have_v leave_v in_o israel_n 7000_o man_n who_o have_v not_o bow_v the_o knee_n to_o baal_n and_o even_o in_o sodom_n the_o most_o wicked_a town_n that_o ever_o be_v upon_o the_o earth_n there_o be_v find_v a_o righteous_a lot_n to_o put_v the_o question_n out_o of_o all_o dispute_n we_o have_v a_o most_o pregnant_a proof_n from_o st._n paul_n in_o his_o continuation_n of_o this_o argument_n 2_o rom._n v._o 10._o pronounce_v glory_n honour_n and_o peace_n to_o every_o one_o that_o work_v good_a to_o the_o jew_n first_o and_o also_o to_o the_o gentile_a for_o there_o be_v no_o respect_n of_o person_n with_o god_n tell_v we_o also_o that_o not_o the_o hearer_n but_o that_o the_o doer_n of_o the_o law_n be_v justify_v before_o god_n for_o when_o the_o gentile_n who_o have_v not_o the_o law_n that_o be_v a_o reveal_v write_a law_n do_v by_o nature_n the_o thing_n contain_v in_o the_o law_n they_o have_v not_o the_o law_n be_v a_o law_n unto_o themselves_o which_o show_v the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n write_v in_o

call_v it_o the_o law_n viz._n of_o god_n write_v in_o their_o heart_n and_o that_o act_n according_a to_o the_o dictate_v of_o this_o law_n they_o do_v the_o thing_n contain_v in_o the_o law_n have_v the_o testimony_n also_o of_o their_o conscience_n acquit_v they_o for_o so_o do_v and_o therefore_o doer_n of_o the_o law_n be_v justify_v in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n and_o true_o i_o be_o the_o more_o confirm_v in_o this_o opinion_n when_o i_o think_v upon_o that_o last_o great_a and_o final_a sentence_n which_o shall_v pass_v on_o man_n at_o the_o general_a judgement_n of_o the_o world_n many_o than_o shall_v make_v great_a ostentation_n of_o the_o faith_n say_v lord_n lord_n have_v we_o not_o prophesy_v in_o thy_o name_n mat._n 7._o and_o in_o thy_o name_n cast_v out_o devil_n etc._n etc._n but_o christ_n know_v they_o not_o but_o tell_v they_o mat._n 25._o that_o because_o they_o do_v not_o do_v work_n of_o mercy_n towards_o their_o brethren_n the_o suffer_a member_n of_o christ_n they_o shall_v go_v into_o utter_a darkness_n but_o that_o those_o who_o do_v show_v compassion_n towards_o they_o shall_v enter_v into_o everlasting_a happiness_n let_v we_o now_o see_v what_o may_v be_v object_v against_o this_o discourse_n and_o first_o christ_n before_o his_o ascension_n mark_v 16._o say_v he_o that_o believe_v and_o be_v baptise_a shall_v be_v save_v but_o he_o that_o believe_v not_o shall_v be_v damn_v now_o that_o those_o who_o never_o hear_v of_o christ_n do_v not_o believe_v be_v plain_a also_o from_o 10_o to_o the_o rom._n how_o shall_v they_o believe_v on_o he_o of_o who_o they_o have_v not_o hear_v and_o how_o shall_v they_o hear_v without_o a_o preacher_n therefore_o no_o salvation_n to_o those_o who_o never_o hear_v of_o christ_n to_o this_o objection_n which_o indeed_o carry_v the_o great_a force_n of_o any_o thing_n that_o can_v be_v urge_v i_o answer_v first_o that_o passage_n of_o the_o 16_o of_o st._n mark_n he_o that_o believe_v not_o be_v damn_v be_v not_o to_o be_v understand_v negative_o as_o though_o a_o ignorance_n of_o christ_n and_o of_o his_o doctrine_n do_v certain_o expose_v man_n to_o damnation_n for_o then_o the_o child_n of_o christian_a parent_n die_v before_o they_o come_v of_o age_n to_o make_v a_o act_n of_o faith_n will_v be_v damn_v the_o word_n then_o of_o this_o place_n do_v include_v a_o positive_a act_n of_o dis-believing_a or_o reject_v the_o doctrine_n of_o christ_n after_o they_o be_v propose_v this_o be_v evident_a from_o the_o context_n in_o the_o precedent_a verse_n where_o christ_n give_v authority_n to_o his_o disciple_n say_v go_v you_o into_o all_o the_o world_n and_o preach_v the_o gospel_n to_o every_o creature_n he_o that_o believe_v and_o be_v baptise_a shall_v be_v save_v but_o he_o that_o believe_v not_o shall_v be_v damn_v so_o that_o they_o be_v damn_v who_o after_o the_o gospel_n be_v preach_v to_o they_o do_v yet_o reject_v it_o all_o which_o concern_v not_o those_o who_o never_o hear_v of_o christ_n nor_o of_o his_o gospel_n this_o then_o do_v supersede_n that_o also_o of_o rom._n the_o 10_o where_o the_o apostle_n speak_v of_o a_o positive_a and_o explicit_a act_n of_o faith_n for_o v._o the_o 9th_o he_o say_v that_o if_o thou_o shall_v confess_v with_o thy_o mouth_n the_o lord_n jesus_n and_o believe_v in_o thy_o heart_n that_o god_n raise_v he_o from_o the_o dead_a thou_o shall_v be_v save_v now_o as_o such_o a_o faith_n can_v be_v attain_v but_o by_o the_o preach_n of_o the_o gospel_n or_o from_o extraordinary_a revelation_n so_o neither_o do_v it_o follow_v from_o hence_o that_o all_o who_o have_v not_o receive_v this_o joyful_a tiding_n of_o the_o gospel_n shall_v not_o be_v save_v he_o that_o be_v a_o great_a linguist_n be_v general_o reckon_v to_o be_v a_o learned_a man_n and_o yet_o from_o thence_o it_o do_v not_o follow_v that_o he_o who_o be_v not_o a_o great_a linguist_n be_v not_o a_o learned_a man_n upon_o the_o whole_a the_o sense_n of_o the_o apostle_n amount_v to_o no_o more_o but_o this_o that_o they_o who_o by_o the_o hear_n of_o god_n word_n or_o of_o teacher_n shall_v arrive_v to_o a_o

the_o faith_n which_o the_o apostle_n exhort_v we_o to_o stand_v steadfast_a in_o be_v doubtless_o the_o true_a faith_n in_o like_a manner_n at_o the_o 13_o v._o of_o the_o same_o 10_o chap._n to_o
