stumble_v about_o the_o doctrine_n of_o election_n and_o reprobation_n as_o lay_v down_o by_o some_o that_o god_n do_v from_o eternity_n before_o the_o world_n begin_v ordain_v a_o small_a number_n for_o salvation_n and_o reprobate_a the_o most_o part_n of_o mankind_n and_o so_o pass_v they_o by_o not_o give_v they_o save_v grace_n if_o it_o be_v so_o that_o the_o number_n be_v so_o fix_v that_o not_o one_o can_v be_v dimish_v nor_o add_v then_o the_o prophet_n nor_o apostle_n by_o all_o their_o labour_n do_v not_o nor_o can_v not_o add_v one_o to_o god_n neither_o by_o preach_v can_v any_o now_o do_v it_o but_o election_n there_o be_v and_o reprobation_n but_o it_o stand_v in_o the_o two_o seed_n the_o lord_n have_v sow_v his_o pure_a seed_n in_o the_o heart_n of_o all_o man_n and_o as_o they_o join_v to_o it_o it_o will_v regenerate_v hem_v and_o so_o make_v they_o injoyer_n and_o hair_n of_o endless_a life_n but_o if_o man_n join_v to_o the_o reprobate_a seed_n of_o the_o serpent_n than_o they_o bring_v death_n over_o themselves_o but_o some_o will_v say_v i_o have_v choose_v you_o i_o say_v the_o lord_n say_v i_o sanctify_v thou_o from_o the_o womb_n and_o ordain_v thou_o a_o prophet_n to_o the_o nation_n i_o grant_v the_o great_a god_n in_o dear_a love_n do_v raise_v up_o some_o but_o it_o will_v not_o therefore_o follow_v that_o he_o over_o do_v cast_v away_o any_o without_o afford_v they_o a_o day_n of_o mercy_n for_o though_o the_o lord_n may_v have_v raise_v up_o some_o in_o all_o age_n yet_o it_o be_v not_o only_o for_o their_o own_o sake_n but_o to_o call_v to_o other_o and_o to_o show_v they_o the_o mind_n of_o the_o lord_n that_o he_o do_v not_o desire_v the_o death_n of_o a_o sinner_n but_o he_o have_v rather_o they_o shall_v turn_v from_o their_o sin_n and_o live_v and_o to_o let_v the_o world_n know_v that_o he_o send_v his_o dear_a son_n into_o the_o world_n that_o all_o may_v believe_v and_o be_v save_v from_o sin_n by_o he_o he_o taste_v death_n for_o every_o man_n and_o say_v the_o apostle_n it_o be_v the_o will_n of_o god_n that_o all_o man_n shall_v be_v save_v and_o come_v to_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o truth_n and_o it_o be_v so_o declare_v by_o paul_n we_o may_v conclude_v that_o the_o lord_n who_o be_v the_o fountain_n of_o love_n and_o mercy_n do_v not_o decree_v the_o death_n of_o mankind_n against_o his_o own_o will._n but_o some_o will_v say_v he_o die_v only_o for_o the_o world_n of_o believer_n of_o the_o elect_n it_o be_v not_o proper_a to_o call_v the_o elect_a the_o world_n for_o christ_n say_v if_o you_o be_v of_o the_o world_n the_o world_n will_v love_v you_o but_o i_o have_v choose_v you_o out_o of_o the_o world_n therefore_o it_o be_v not_o proper_a to_o call_v believer_n or_o the_o elect_n the_o world_n now_o see_v it_o be_v so_o clear_o lay_v down_o in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n that_o christ_n die_v for_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o whole_a world_n and_o not_o of_o believer_n only_o then_o we_o may_v conclude_v that_o if_o man_n believe_v in_o his_o pure_a spirit_n a_o measure_n of_o it_o be_v give_v to_o every_o one_o to_o profit_n withal_o all_o that_o dye_v not_o save_v must_v not_o place_v their_o destruction_n on_o the_o lord_n nor_o blame_v he_o but_o their_o own_o self_n for_o rebellion_n against_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o so_o i_o may_v say_v as_o say_v the_o prophet_n why_o will_v you_o die_v o_o friend_n christ_n die_v he_o taste_v death_n for_o every_o man_n and_o give_v himself_o a_o ransom_n for_o all_o and_o he_o have_v do_v much_o for_o we_o thereby_o but_o he_o have_v send_v his_o holy_a spirit_n into_o our_o heart_n to_o sanctify_v wash_v and_o purify_v our_o heart_n so_o that_o obey_v the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n you_o will_v have_v a_o possession_n in_o the_o kingdom_n of_o glory_n obtain_v for_o we_o by_o his_o dear_a son_n now_o reader_n thy_o teacher_n may_v tell_v thou_o that_o if_o thou_o have_v find_v thy_o heart_n prick_v for_o sin_n and_o have_v be_v sorrowful_a for_o sin_n and_o have_v feel_v the_o income_n of_o life_n to_o warm_a thy_o soul_n than_o thou_o may_v conclude_v thyself_o in_o a_o hopeful_a state_n i_o say_v so_o too_o but_o where_o be_v that_o man_n in_o the_o world_n but_o the_o lord_n at_o one_o time_n or_o other_o do_v prick_n to_o the_o heart_n and_o bring_v sorrow_n over_o he_o and_o when_o he_o be_v bring_v low_a he_o see_v there_o be_v mercy_n for_o he_o and_o so_o comfort_n and_o hope_n spring_v up_o in_o his_o soul_n thus_o be_v man_n visited_n by_o which_o he_o upon_o

have_v pay_v the_o debt_n and_o now_o the_o lord_n look_v upon_o thou_o in_o his_o son_n but_o pray_v for_o thy_o poor_a soul_n sake_n consider_v if_o any_o man_n be_v in_o christ_n the_o same_o be_v a_o new_a creature_n old_a thing_n be_v pass_v away_o and_o all_o thing_n be_v become_v new_a a_o new_a heart_n a_o tender_a heart_n a_o heart_n which_o fear_n to_o offend_v he_o in_o every_o thing_n to_o love_v he_o with_o thy_o whole_a heart_n and_o thy_o neighbour_n as_o thyself_o a_o heart_n not_o only_o to_o part_v with_o ishmael_n but_o offer_v up_o isaac_n if_o call_v for_o and_o not_o to_o love_v thy_o own_o life_n for_o christ_n and_o his_o gospel_n sake_n oh_o if_o thou_o can_v say_v so_o then_o happy_a be_v thou_o if_o thou_o continue_v to_o the_o end_n thou_o shall_v be_v save_v and_o this_o love_n of_o god_n will_v spring_v so_o up_o in_o thy_o soul_n that_o thou_o will_v say_v with_o the_o prophet_n o_o come_v to_o the_o water_n of_o life_n free_o and_o when_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o lord_n fill_v thy_o heart_n with_o gospel-tiding_n which_o shall_v be_v a_o message_n of_o joy_n to_o all_o people_n then_o thou_o will_v say_v the_o arm_n of_o the_o lord_n be_v not_o shorten_v that_o can_v save_v but_o will_v cry_v the_o salvation_n of_o the_o lord_n be_v come_v and_o all_o flesh_n shall_v or_o may_v see_v the_o salvation_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o thou_o will_v not_o be_v as_o one_o that_o mock_v when_o thou_o hold_v forth_o his_o salvation_n but_o if_o all_o take_v thou_o at_o the_o word_n by_o believe_v the_o gospel_n preach_v there_o be_v room_n enough_o in_o god_n mercy_n for_o the_o whole_a creation_n glory_n to_o the_o lord_n in_o the_o high_a but_o thou_o may_v yet_o say_v though_o all_o have_v some_o stir_n of_o god_n they_o be_v so_o small_a and_o weak_a that_o it_o can_v work_v that_o holy_a dread_a in_o they_o not_o to_o offend_v the_o lord_n look_v into_o thy_o own_o heart_n and_o if_o thou_o find_v it_o so_o with_o thou_o that_o it_o bring_v thou_o into_o a_o holy_a fear_n so_o that_o have_v a_o hope_n of_o glory_n thou_o purify_v thy_o heart_n by_o thy_o hope_n than_o the_o same_o seed_n which_o be_v sow_v in_o thy_o

i_o love_v and_o esau_n have_v i_o hate_v so_o it_o be_v not_o say_v in_o genesis_n but_o in_o malachi_n 1._o 2._o but_o the_o elder_a shall_v serve_v the_o young_a which_o if_o it_o have_v relate_v
