all_o manner_n of_o consideration_n that_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n shall_v yet_o be_v effectual_a to_o all_o so_o i_o deny_v that_o god_n intend_v that_o it_o shall_v have_v any_o efficacy_n at_o

i_o form_v this_o argument_n if_o god_n do_v intend_v that_o some_o man_n shall_v not_o believe_v and_o do_v blind_a other_o when_o the_o gospel_n be_v preach_v unto_o they_o that_o they_o shall_v

and_o the_o reason_n why_o i_o deny_v the_o major_n be_v this_o because_o god_n may_v upon_o the_o demerit_n or_o mis-behaviour_n of_o man_n their_o unworthy_a carriage_n under_o the_o mean_n of_o grace_n vouchsafe_v unto_o they_o he_o may_v harden_v their_o heart_n and_o blind_v their_o eye_n and_o put_v they_o into_o a_o incapacity_n of_o believe_a and_o so_o of_o be_v save_v and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o he_o may_v original_o that_o be_v without_o the_o consideration_n of_o this_o miscarriage_n in_o they_o he_o may_v intend_v their_o salvation_n as_o well_o as_o the_o salvation_n of_o any_o other_o man_n mr_n symps_n will_v you_o grant_v i_o then_o the_o minor_a proposition_n mr_n goodw._n if_o you_o please_v to_o repeat_v it_o i_o shall_v weigh_v it_o and_o then_o give_v a_o

upon_o the_o disable_n of_o the_o major_a proposition_n the_o minor_a be_v of_o no_o force_n mr_n symps_n this_o do_v not_o reach_v my_o argument_n mr_n goodw._n it_o be_v a_o answer_n to_o your_o

christ_n notwithstanding_o this_o be_v no_o part_n of_o my_o meaning_n but_o consider_v man_n come_v into_o the_o world_n and_o as_o they_o be_v bear_v of_o adam_n so_o god_n do_v intend_v real_o faithful_o and_o cordial_o that_o whosoever_o he_o be_v of_o all_o this_o posterity_n that_o shall_v come_v in_o and_o believe_v he_o shall_v find_v salvation_n in_o the_o same_o manner_n and_o upon_o the_o same_o term_n that_o the_o best_a and_o great_a believer_n in_o the_o world_n ever_o do_v and_o if_o you_o please_v now_o to_o answer_v against_o this_o sense_n the_o disputation_n will_v go_v on_o mr_n symps_n if_o god_n decree_v before_o some_o man_n be_v bear_v that_o they_o shall_v not_o believe_v in_o jesus_n christ_n than_o god_n do_v not_o real_o intend_v the_o death_n of_o christ_n as_o a_o sufficient_a mean_n for_o all_o but_o god_n do_v real_o intend_v before_o some_o man_n be_v bear_v or_o have_v do_v good_a or_o evil_a that_o they_o shall_v not_o believe_v therefore_o he_o

say_v again_o he_o have_v blind_v their_o eye_n and_o harden_v their_o heart_n that_o they_o shall_v not_o see_v with_o their_o eye_n nor_o understand_v with_o their_o heart_n and_o be_v convert_v etc._n etc._n mr_n goodw._n if_o you_o please_v thus_o if_o by_o god_n not_o intend_v to_o give_v mean_n of_o believe_v to_o some_o man_n your_o meaning_n be_v that_o he_o do_v not_o intend_v to_o give_v it_o to_o some_o sort_n of_o man_n or_o to_o some_o kind_n and_o condition_n of_o man_n in_o the_o world_n as_o namely_o to_o man_n under_o such_o or_o such_o a_o condition_n of_o sin_n and_o

against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n or_o those_o that_o be_v speak_v of_o under_o those_o passage_n of_o blind_a their_o eye_n and_o harden_v their_o heart_n god_n may_v intend_v from_o eternity_n not_o to_o give_v faith_n or_o mean_n of_o faith_n to_o such_o man_n as_o these_o and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o he_o may_v decree_v or_o purpose_n to_o give_v a_o sufficiency_n of_o mean_n unto_o all_o

after_o time_n to_o deny_v they_o a_o capacity_n or_o mean_n to_o believe_v it_o do_v not_o proceed_v from_o any_o original_a intention_n of_o god_n in_o this_o respect_n but_o it_o do_v arise_v from_o their_o own_o reach_v and_o unworthy_a carriage_n towards_o god_n under_o the_o mean_n of_o salvation_n mr._n symp._n your_o answer_n do_v not_o reach_v my_o argument_n for_o my_o argument_n prove_v that_o there_o be_v a_o people_n that_o god_n intend_v not_o to_o give_v the_o mean_n of_o grace_n to_o before_o the_o world_n be_v mr._n griffith_n mr._n goodwin_n say_v that_o god_n do_v

mr._n symp._n if_o the_o decree_n be_v before_o they_o be_v bear_v than_o it_o can_v be_v in_o consideration_n of_o any_o unworthiness_n in_o the_o creature_n but_o this_o decree_n be_v take_v up_o by_o god_n before_o the_o creature_n be_v bear_v and_o before_o it_o have_v do_v good_a or_o evil_a therefore_o it_o can_v be_v from_o any_o unworthiness_n in_o the_o creature_n this_o argument_n be_v

undertake_v to_o do_v true_o it_o make_v i_o very_o earnest_a and_o desirous_a to_o hear_v how_o he_o can_v do_v it_o because_o i_o be_o go_v into_o a_o dark_a country_n where_o there_o be_v want_n

be_v something_o else_o concern_v the_o word_n all_o and_o pray_v for_o all_o now_o i_o shall_v desire_v to_o take_v notice_n of_o two_o thing_n first_o that_o m._n sympson_n may_v have_v deny_v the_o sequel_n of_o the_o major_a proposition_n which_o be_v that_o the_o apostle_n command_v they_o to_o pray_v for_o those_o that_o be_v in_o authority_n etc._n etc._n and_o therefore_o it_o must_v follow_v that_o they_o must_v pray_v for_o all_o other_o for_o the_o apostle_n give_v the_o reason_n why_o they_o shall_v pray_v for_o all_o that_o be_v in_o authority_n that_o they_o may_v lead_v a_o peaceable_a and_o quiet_a life_n under_o they_o the_o second_o argument_n which_o mr._n goodwin_n urge_v be_v this_o if_o jesus_n christ_n give_v himself_o a_o ransom_n for_o all_o than_o he_o give_v the_o mean_n of_o salvation_n to_o all_o but_o he_o give_v himself_o a_o ransom_n for_o all_o ergo_fw-la now_o there_o be_v falacia_fw-la dicti_fw-la there_o for_o the_o word_n all_o be_v well_o

lose_v his_o ship_n in_o the_o sand_n and_o second_o consider_v withal_o how_o he_o do_v deny_v his_o own_o say_n which_o he_o acknowledge_v the_o last_o time_n namely_o that_o there_o be_v decree_n in_o god_n from_o eternity_n and_o that_o he_o say_v that_o decree_n do_v respect_n state_n of_o man_n from_o eternity_n and_o not_o particular_a person_n three_o i_o desire_v you_o to_o take_v

will_v come_v in_o and_o follow_v upon_o it_o which_o he_o must_v maintain_v and_o i_o desire_v to_o speak_v only_o this_o as_o the_o sum_n of_o what_o i_o have_v to_o say_v and_o i_o shall_v finish_v

against_o he_o three_o i_o desire_v you_o to_o consider_v this_o that_o these_o position_n of_o his_o which_o may_v seem_v to_o carry_v a_o great_a stroke_n in_o the_o world_n they_o be_v no_o new_a

that_o if_o so_o be_v the_o lord_n have_v be_v please_v to_o persuade_v you_o either_o this_o time_n or_o the_o last_o that_o hereafter_o you_o will_v not_o suffer_v either_o satan_n or_o his_o
