the_o apostle_n here_o be_v not_o to_o show_v for_o how_o many_o christ_n die_v but_o what_o be_v the_o duty_n of_o those_o for_o who_o he_o die_v namely_o to_o live_v to_o he_o because_o they_o be_v in_o the_o state_n of_o death_n when_o he_o die_v for_o they_o 2._o we_o willing_o grant_v that_o christ_n die_v for_o all_o if_o this_o word_n all_o be_v take_v in_o the_o same_o sense_n the_o apostle_n take_v it_o as_o he_o take_v it_o in_o the_o former_a verse_n namely_o those_o who_o christ_n love_n constrain_v to_o duty_n the_o love_n of_o christ_n say_v he_o constrain_v we_o and_o therefore_o we_o thus_o judge_v that_o if_o christ_n die_v for_o all_o of_o we_o than_o all_o of_o we_o be_v in_o the_o state_n of_o death_n as_o well_o as_o other_o and_o he_o die_v for_o we_o that_o we_o which_o live_v shall_v no_o long_o live_v to_o ourselves_o but_o to_o he_o but_o it_o follow_v not_o hence_o that_o christ_n die_v for_o all_o man_n for_o all_o man_n be_v not_o so_o affect_v with_o the_o sense_n of_o christ_n love_n as_o thereby_o to_o be_v constrain_v and_o carry_v on_o with_o a_o holy_a violence_n as_o it_o be_v to_o the_o performance_n of_o duty_n 3._o the_o apostle_n here_o speak_v of_o such_o for_o who_o christ_n not_o only_o die_v but_o also_o rise_v again_o now_o it_o be_v not_o where_o say_v in_o scripture_n that_o christ_n rise_v again_o for_o all_o beside_o if_o he_o die_v and_o rise_v again_o for_o all_o than_o all_o shall_v certain_o be_v justify_v it_o be_v god_n that_o justifi_v who_o shall_v condemn_v it_o be_v christ_n that_o die_v or_o rather_o that_o be_v rise_v again_o roman_n 8.33_o 34._o object_n 4._o it_o be_v further_a object_v that_o all_o man_n in_o the_o world_n receive_v benefit_n by_o christ_n therefore_o he_o die_v for_o all_o answ_n 1._o it_o do_v not_o follow_v that_o christ_n die_v for_o wicked_a man_n who_o perish_v in_o the_o end_n because_o they_o receive_v many_o benefit_n by_o his_o death_n for_o all_o creature_n in_o the_o world_n be_v some_o way_n or_o other_o the_o better_a for_o christ_n death_n we_o may_v well_o think_v that_o the_o whole_a creation_n have_v long_o since_o be_v turn_v into_o a_o chaos_n and_o confusion_n if_o christ_n by_o his_o death_n have_v not_o make_v a_o atonement_n for_o some_o of_o mankind_n the_o apostle_n say_v that_o the_o whole_a creation_n groan_v under_o the_o burden_n of_o man_n sin_n and_o that_o there_o be_v a_o earnest_a expectation_n in_o the_o creature_n wait_v when_o it_o shall_v be_v deliver_v from_o the_o bondage_n of_o corruption_n to_o the_o glorious_a liberty_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n rom._n 8.21_o 22._o this_o glorious_a liberty_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n be_v a_o benefit_n which_o christ_n have_v purchase_v and_o this_o all_o the_o creature_n shall_v fare_v the_o better_a for_o which_o make_v they_o to_o have_v such_o a_o earnest_a expectation_n after_o it_o yet_o none_o can_v hence_o infer_v that_o christ_n die_v for_o all_o the_o creature_n 2._o the_o devil_n themselves_o have_v some_o benefit_n by_o christ_n death_n for_o if_o he_o have_v never_o come_v into_o the_o world_n it_o be_v likely_a that_o they_o have_v be_v confine_v to_o the_o great_a deep_a and_o not_o be_v suffer_v to_o range_v up_o and_o down_o in_o the_o world_n as_o now_o they_o do_v and_o when_o he_o be_v in_o the_o world_n he_o be_v please_v at_o their_o entreaty_n to_o suffer_v they_o to_o enter_v into_o the_o herd_n of_o swine_n and_o not_o to_o send_v they_o into_o the_o great_a deep_a which_o be_v some_o benefit_n to_o they_o yet_o who_o will_v say_v that_o christ_n die_v for_o devil_n 3._o it_o be_v the_o act_n of_o great_a love_n for_o christ_n to_o lay_v down_o his_o life_n great_a love_n than_o this_o have_v no_o man_n to_o lay_v down_o his_o life_n john_n 15.13_o and_o can_v we_o think_v that_o christ_n will_v show_v as_o great_a love_n to_o those_o that_o be_v damn_v as_o to_o those_o that_o be_v save_v to_o the_o reprobate_n as_o to_o the_o elect_a to_o stranger_n and_o such_o as_o he_o never_o know_v yea_o to_o his_o enemy_n and_o such_o as_o will_v not_o suffer_v he_o to_o reign_v over_o they_o as_o to_o his_o friend_n and_o faithful_a subject_n yea_o to_o his_o fellow_n brethren_n and_o the_o member_n of_o his_o own_o body_n for_o there_o can_v be_v no_o great_a love_n than_o the_o great_a and_o the_o great_a be_v the_o lay_v down_o his_o life_n which_o he_o have_v do_v for_o all_o alike_o according_a to_o this_o doctrine_n 4._o what_o ever_o come_v from_o love_n work_v for_o good_a but_o all_o thing_n in_o the_o end_n work_v together_o for_o hurt_v unto_o wicked_a man_n that_o have_v no_o part_n in_o christ_n their_o table_n shall_v be_v a_o snare_n and_o that_o which_o shall_v have_v be_v for_o their_o prosperity_n shall_v be_v a_o trap_n psal_n 69.22_o their_o riches_n be_v reserve_v for_o their_o hurt_n eccles_n 5.9_o the_o goodness_n of_o god_n harden_v their_o heart_n and_o so_o fit_v they_o for_o wrath_n rom._n 2.4_o 5._o 5._o for_o who_o christ_n have_v purchase_v a_o right_a to_o the_o thing_n they_o enjoy_v he_o have_v also_o purchase_v a_o grace_n that_o fit_v they_o for_o the_o right_a use_n of_o they_o for_o in_o and_o through_o he_o all_o thing_n be_v give_v to_o we_o that_o pertain_v to_o life_n and_o godliness_n 2_o pet._n 1.3_o object_n 5._o but_o we_o may_v say_v to_o any_o man_n even_o the_o worst_a that_o live_v if_o thou_o will_v believe_v thou_o shall_v be_v save_v which_o we_o can_v not_o say_v true_o if_o christ_n do_v not_o die_v for_o all_o answ_n 1._o the_o scope_n of_o such_o conditional_a promise_n and_o proposition_n be_v to_o show_v the_o inseparable_a join_v together_o of_o the_o mean_n and_o the_o end_n of_o faith_n and_o salvation_n of_o repentance_n and_o pardon_n of_o sin_n and_o the_o truth_n of_o they_o lie_v not_o in_o the_o truth_n of_o the_o part_n but_o in_o the_o necessary_a and_o strong_a connexion_n and_o join_v of_o they_o together_o as_o when_o i_o say_v if_o a_o man_n be_v a_o lion_n than_o he_o have_v four_o foot_n if_o he_o be_v a_o bird_n than_o he_o can_v fly_v in_o the_o air_n here_o though_o the_o part_n be_v false_a yet_o the_o proposition_n be_v true_a because_o of_o the_o necessity_n of_o the_o consequence_n so_o when_o i_o say_v to_o any_o man_n believe_v and_o thou_o shall_v be_v save_v here_o this_o proposition_n be_v true_a though_o the_o man_n never_o believe_v nor_o never_o be_v save_v for_o let_v this_o hypothetical_n be_v turn_v into_o a_o categorical_a and_o it_o be_v no_o more_o but_o this_o every_o believer_n shall_v be_v save_v which_o be_v true_a though_o christ_n never_o die_v for_o all_o and_o though_o all_o man_n never_o be_v save_v for_o it_o show_v only_o the_o absolute_a and_o necessary_a connexion_n betwixt_o faith_n and_o salvation_n as_o that_o all_o believer_n and_o they_o only_o shall_v be_v save_v and_o not_o that_o all_o man_n shall_v be_v believer_n or_o that_o all_o man_n shall_v be_v save_v or_o that_o christ_n die_v for_o all_o and_o it_o do_v no_o more_o imply_v that_o there_o be_v a_o will_n in_o god_n of_o save_v all_o then_o when_o on_o the_o other_o side_n it_o be_v say_v that_o he_o who_o believe_v not_o shall_v be_v damn_v it_o do_v imply_v that_o there_o be_v a_o will_n in_o he_o of_o damn_v all_o 2._o the_o weakness_n of_o this_o way_n of_o argue_v may_v appear_v from_o instance_n of_o other_o like_a proposition_n in_o scripture_n when_o the_o young_a man_n come_v to_o our_o saviour_n christ_n and_o ask_v he_o what_o he_o shall_v do_v that_o he_o may_v have_v eternal_a life_n he_o answer_v he_o if_o thou_o will_v have_v life_n keep_v the_o commandment_n matthew_n 19.15_o do_v not_o christ_n here_o speak_v true_o yet_o it_o be_v not_o true_a that_o either_o he_o can_v keep_v the_o command_n or_o ever_o shall_v have_v life_n by_o keep_v they_o do_v not_o the_o apostle_n speak_v true_o when_o he_o say_v if_o there_o be_v no_o resurrection_n than_o christ_n be_v not_o rise_v and_o if_o there_o be_v hope_v only_o in_o this_o life_n than_o we_o be_v of_o all_o man_n most_o miserable_a 1_o cor._n 15.18_o 19_o yet_o in_o both_o these_o proposition_n the_o part_n be_v false_a for_o both_o christ_n be_v rise_v and_o there_o shall_v certain_o be_v a_o resurrection_n and_o the_o saint_n have_v better_a hope_n then_o in_o this_o life_n neither_o be_v they_o of_o all_o man_n the_o most_o miserable_a so_o this_o proposition_n if_o a_o man_n believe_v he_o shall_v be_v save_v be_v true_a though_o god_n have_v never_o determine_v his_o salvation_n nor_o christ_n die_v to_o purchase_v it_o for_o
