A49291	Personal reprobation reprobated being a plain exposition upon the nineth chapter to the Romans, shewing, that there is neither little nor much of any such doctrine as personal election or reprobations, asserted by the apostle in that chapter : but that his great designe is to maintain justification by faith in Jesus Christ, without the works of the law / humbly offered to serious consideration, by Samuel Loveday.

near_a relation_n and_o tender_a love_n that_o god_n in_o this_o change_n shall_v bear_v to_o they_o he_o shall_v carry_v it_o to_o they_o as_o a_o father_n to_o child_n that_o be_v small_a and_o
