of_o the_o truth_n vers_fw-la 4._o now_o this_o can_v be_v understand_v of_o all_o man_n in_o the_o large_a sense_n for_o god_n do_v not_o vouchsafe_v the_o gospel_n and_o knowledge_n of_o the_o

rom._n 14.15_o through_o thy_o knowledge_n shall_v the_o weak_a brother_n perish_v for_o who_o christ_n die_v 1._o cor._n 8.11_o from_o both_o these_o text_n they_o gather_v that_o christ_n die_v for_o those_o that_o perish_v as_o well_o as_o for_o those_o that_o perish_v not_o but_o be_v save_v and_o if_o he_o die_v for_o those_o that_o perish_v and_o for_o those_o that_o perish_v not_o then_o he_o die_v for_o all_o man_n answer_n 1_o that_o christ_n die_v for_o those_o that_o perish_v not_o but_o be_v save_v this_o they_o say_v we_o grant_v and_o that_o christ_n die_v also_o for_o those_o that_o perish_v and_o be_v not_o save_v this_o they_o prove_v by_o these_o two_o text_n rom._n 14.15_o 1._o cor._n 8.11_o to_o this_o their_o proof_n i_o thus_o answer_v to_o destroy_v be_v

text_n may_v be_v understand_v of_o the_o latter_a only_o namely_o of_o the_o occasion_n and_o hazard_n of_o perdition_n and_o destruction_n for_o those_o strong_a christian_n do_v by_o their_o unseasonable_a use_n of_o meat_n offend_v the_o weak_a and_o do_v thereby_o give_v they_o a_o occasion_n of_o fall_v of_o perdition_n and_o destruction_n this_o sense_n the_o context_n give_v light_a unto_o both_o in_o rom._n 14.13_o and_o in_o 1._o cor._n 8.9_o and_o i_o think_v arminian_n can_v think_v that_o the_o strong_a christian_n do_v by_o their_o unseasonable_a use_n of_o meat_n real_o and_o actual_o destroy_v all_o those_o weak_a christian_n who_o see_v they_o eat_v these_o meat_n or_o who_o by_o their_o example_n be_v embolden_v to_o eat_v they_o now_o if_o they_o do_v not_o perish_v and_o be_v indeed_o destroy_v how_o can_v arminian_n say_v christ_n die_v for_o those_o that_o perish_v 2_o i_o answer_v whereas_o they_o undertake_v to_o prove_v that_o some_o perish_v for_o who_o christ_n die_v this_o be_v false_a and_o can_v be_v prove_v by_o these_o two_o text_n for_o admit_v that_o by_o example_n of_o the_o strong_a the_o weak_a christian_n do_v eat_v meat_n against_o their_o conscience_n and_o so_o sin_v yet_o it_o will_v not_o follow_v that_o they_o be_v therefore_o destroy_v and_o perish_v eternal_o unless_o arminian_o will_v say_v that_o by_o repentance_n of_o that_o sin_n they_o can_v not_o be_v save_v or_o will_v be_v so_o uncharitable_a as_o without_o a_o ground_n for_o it_o to_o say_v they_o live_v and_o die_v in_o this_o sin_n without_o repentance_n sure_o i_o be_o repentance_n be_v a_o salve_n for_o great_a sin_n than_o this_o act_v 11.18_o so_o it_o can_v be_v prove_v that_o those_o weak_a christian_n perish_v and_o therefore_o it_o can_v be_v prove_v that_o christ_n die_v for_o those_o that_o perish_v so_o much_o for_o answer_v to_o these_o two_o text_n rom._n 14.15_o and_o 1._o cor._n 8.11_o hebr._n 10.29_o of_o how_o much_o soever_o punishment_n suppose_v you_o shall_v he_o be_v worthy_a which_o tread_v under_o foot_n the_o son_n of_o god_n &_o count_v the_o blood_n of_o the_o testament_n as_o a_o unholy_a thing_n wherewith_o he_o be_v sanctify_v here_o say_v they_o be_v some_o man_n for_o who_o christ_n die_v be_v that_o they_o be_v sanctify_v by_o christ_n blood_n and_o yet_o become_v apostate_n and_o shall_v be_v sore_o

whereas_o they_o collect_v from_o this_o text_n that_o some_o believer_n and_o sanctify_a by_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n do_v indeed_o make_v apostasy_n and_o so_o as_o they_o perish_v this_o collection_n be_v groundless_a for_o the_o text_n may_v be_v understand_v conditional_o or_o as_o a_o supposition_n as_o if_o the_o apostle_n have_v say_v if_o a_o believer_n and_o one_o sanctify_v by_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n shall_v make_v apostasy_n and_o tread_v under_o foot_n the_o blood_n of_o christ_n he_o shall_v perish_v or_o be_v sure_o punish_v or_o thus_o of_o how_o much_o sore_a punishment_n shall_v a_o man_n be_v worthy_a if_o he_o tread_v under_o foot_n the_o son_n of_o god_n etc._n etc._n now_o a_o conditional_a speech_n or_o a_o supposition_n do_v not_o affirm_v and_o assert_v the_o thing_n to_o be_v do_v indeed_o but_o only_o it_o suppose_v a_o thing_n or_o put_v a_o case_n as_o in_o hebr._n 10.26_o 38._o so_o this_o text_n do_v not_o assert_v and_o affirm_v that_o some_o believer_n either_o do_v or_o shall_v make_v apostasy_n and_o so_o perish_v that_o the_o text_n may_v be_v understand_v conditional_o as_o a_o supposition_n and_o as_o a_o case_n put_v i_o make_v it_o thus_o appear_v 1_o these_o be_v equivalent_a proposition_n he_o that_o do_v such_o a_o thing_n and_o if_o one_o do_v such_o a_o thing_n for_o example_n he_o that_o shed_v man_n blood_n by_o man_n shall_v his_o blood_n be_v shed_v gen._n 9.6_o the_o which_o be_v equivalent_a to_o this_o if_o one_o shed_v man_n blood_n by_o man_n shall_v his_o blood_n be_v shed_v so_o in_o like_a manner_n he_o that_o apostatize_v and_o tread_v under_o foot_n the_o blood_n of_o christ_n shall_v perish_v or_o be_v sore_o punish_v heb._n 10.29_o the_o which_o be_v equivalent_a to_o this_o if_o one_o apostatize_v and_o tread_v under_o foot_n the_o blood_n of_o christ_n he_o shall_v perish_v or_o be_v sore_o punish_v so_o it_o be_v indifferent_a to_o take_v either_o of_o the_o two_o expression_n and_o further_a note_n that_o neither_o of_o the_o two_o do_v assert_v and_o affirm_v the_o thing_n to_o be_v indeed_o do_v as_o it_o be_v not_o affirm_v that_o any_o have_v shed_v man_n blood_n so_o it_o be_v not_o affirm_v that_o any_o believer_n have_v apostatise_v and_o tread_v under_o foot_n the_o blood_n of_o christ_n it_o be_v only_o say_v he_o that_o do_v it_o etc._n etc._n or_o if_o one_o do_v it_o etc._n etc._n 2_o in_o heb._n 10.26_o our_o translator_n render_v it_o thus_o if_o we_o sin_v willing_o etc._n etc._n the_o which_o in_o the_o original_a be_v in_o the_o participle_n thus_o we_o sin_v willing_o etc._n etc._n now_o since_o this_o latter_a may_v be_v render_v conditional_o so_o it_o must_v be_v render_v unless_o we_o make_v believer_n guilty_a of_o wilful_a sin_v why_o may_v it_o not_o be_v so_o too_o three_o verse_n after_o for_o in_o heb._n 10.29_o in_o the_o original_a it_o be_v in_o the_o participle_n thus_o tread_v under_o foot_n etc._n etc._n which_o may_v be_v render_v thus_o if_o he_o tread_v under_o foot_n etc._n etc._n and_o so_o the_o apostle_n do_v not_o assert_v or_o affirm_v that_o any_o man_n do_v or_o have_v indeed_o tread_v under_o foot_n the_o blood_n of_o christ_n or_o make_v apostasy_n note_v further_o that_o in_o vers_n 26.27_o you_o have_v the_o question_n in_o vers_fw-la 28._o you_o have_v the_o argument_n and_o in_o vers_n 29._o be_v the_o application_n of_o it_o to_o the_o question_n now_o where_o the_o question_n be_v conditional_a the_o application_n must_v not_o be_v absolute_a and_o therefore_o the_o 29._o vers_fw-la must_v be_v conditional_o understand_v 3_o the_o apostle_n say_v in_o the_o last_o vers_fw-la save_v one_o heb._n 10.38_o if_o any_o withdraw_v himself_o etc._n etc._n in_o which_o word_n he_o speak_v of_o apostasy_n and_o withdraw_a conditional_o wherefore_o the_o apostasy_n and_o tread_v under_o foot_n christ_n blood_n mention_v before_o in_o heb._n 10.29_o ma●_n be_v understand_v conditional_o also_o and_o so_o nothing_o
say_v christ_n intend_v to_o die_v for_o the_o salvation_n of_o all_o man_n and_o yet_o deny_v they_o the_o knowledge_n of_o it_o by_o the_o gospel_n preach_v so_o much_o for_o my_o major_n but_o christ_n neither_o will_v nor_o have_v cause_v the_o gospel_n to_o be_v preach_v to_o all_o man_n whereby_o they_o shall_v be_v bring_v to_o faith_n and_o be_v the_o better_a for_o his_o death_n this_o i_o thus_o prove_v 1._o the_o gospel_n be_v not_o in_o these_o day_n preach_v to_o many_o indian_n and_o barbarous_a nation_n 2._o in_o old_a time_n before_o we_o the_o gospel_n or_o any_o

minor_n and_o the_o conclusion_n follow_v therefore_o christ_n do_v not_o so_o love_v all_o man_n as_o to_o give_v himself_o and_o to_o die_v for_o all_o man_n before_o i_o have_v do_v with_o this_o argument_n i_o must_v answer_v a_o objection_n which_o my_o reader_n may_v make_v and_o confute_v a_o answer_n which_o the_o arminian_o do_v make_v the_o objection_n be_v this_o you_o say_v in_o your_o first_o argument_n that_o christ_n will_v not_o have_v the_o word_n concern_v his_o death_n which_o be_v gospel_n to_o be_v preach_v to_o wicked_a impenitent_a and_o unbelieving_a man_n and_o here_o in_o this_o three_o argument_n you_o say_v that_o the_o gospel_n ought_v to_o be_v preach_v to_o all_o man_n and_o among_o all_o man_n be_v many_o wicked_a man_n etc._n etc._n hereunto_o i_o answer_v that_o this_o be_v no_o contradiction_n for_o in_o my_o first_o argument_n i_o speak_v absolute_o and_o as_o the_o truth_n be_v but_o here_o in_o my_o three_o argument_n i_o speak_v not_o absolute_o but_o conditional_o with_o a_o if_o as_o if_o christ_n die_v for_o all_o man_n than_o the_o gospel_n must_v be_v preach_v to_o all_o man_n be_v they_o godly_a or_o wicked_a so_o this_o i_o speak_v but_o upon_o a_o supposition_n of_o the_o truth_n of_o the_o arminian_n tenant_n which_o if_o it_o be_v true_a than_o this_o follow_v that_o gospel_n must_v be_v preach_v to_o all_o man_n good_a and_o bad_a so_o much_o of_o this_o objection_n and_o now_o i_o come_v to_o the_o answer_n of_o arminian_o which_o be_v this_o the_o arminian_o in_o their_o acta_fw-la synodalia_fw-la de_fw-la morte_fw-la christi_fw-la pag._n 327_o 328._o do_v answer_n this_o my_o three_o argument_n thus_o that_o a_o limitation_n be_v to_o be_v add_v to_o my_o major_n and_o then_o my_o minor_n will_v be_v false_a thus_o therefore_o they_o frame_v it_o a_o new_a and_o limit_v it_o if_o christ_n so_o love_v all_o man_n as_o to_o die_v for_o all_o man_n then_o will_v he_o have_v cause_v the_o gospel_n to_o be_v actual_o preach_v to_o all_o man_n or_o else_o be_v prepare_v and_o in_o a_o readiness_n to_o have_v it_o preach_v so_o soon_o as_o man_n be_v fit_v to_o receive_v it_o the_o better_a to_o colour_v this_o limitation_n they_o make_v a_o twofold_a call_n a_o common_a or_o general_a call_n and_o a_o special_a call_n by_o the_o general_a call_n they_o understand_v the_o law_n and_o light_n of_o nature_n as_o the_o natural_a knowledge_n that_o there_o be_v a_o god_n and_o of_o the_o law_n of_o god_n to_o which_o man_n owe_v obedience_n now_o to_o he_o that_o use_v this_o aright_o god_n be_v prepare_v to_o communicate_v unto_o he_o his_o special_a call_n which_o be_v the_o preach_n of_o the_o gospel_n so_o the_o well_o use_v of_o that_o be_v a_o fit_v and_o prepare_v of_o man_n for_o this_o and_o the_o reason_n why_o many_o man_n be_v deny_v the_o gospel_n be_v their_o own_o fault_n because_o they_o do_v abuse_v the_o light_n of_o nature_n or_o the_o general_a call_n so_o than_o god_n will_v be_v to_o have_v the_o gospel_n preach_v actual_o to_o all_o man_n that_o be_v fit_v for_o it_o and_o be_v prepare_v to_o have_v it_o preach_v to_o other_o so_o soon_o as_o they_o be_v

contend_v about_o this_o order_n and_o method_n of_o god_n that_o first_o he_o will_v all_o man_n to_o make_v good_a use_n of_o the_o law_n and_o light_n of_o nature_n and_o then_o and_o not_o

though_o it_o be_v never_o so_o true_a in_o itself_o that_o this_o limitation_n shall_v be_v add_v to_o my_o major_n that_o god_n be_v prepare_v to_o have_v the_o gospel_n preach_v to_o man_n so_o

sermon_n of_o christ_n death_n to_o be_v preach_v to_o they_o for_o christ_n his_o blood_n be_v of_o more_o value_n than_o a_o minister_n word_n and_o breath_n wherefore_o if_o christ_n die_v for_o all_o man_n then_o be_v all_o man_n fit_a
