father_n thou_o have_v love_v they_o as_o thou_o have_v love_v i_o again_o he_o say_v that_o the_o love_n wherewith_o thou_o have_v love_v i_o may_v be_v in_o they_o and_o i_o in_o they_o and_o so_o as_o god_n love_v these_o as_o he_o love_v christ_n and_o he_o do_v not_o love_v all_o mankind_n so_o so_o christ_n love_v they_o as_o he_o love_v himself_o yea_o he_o seem_v to_o love_v they_o more_o than_o himself_o for_o he_o love_v they_o and_o give_v himself_o for_o they_o and_o so_o have_v speak_v of_o christ_n special_a love_n i_o proceed_v in_o the_o next_o place_n to_o speak_v of_o the_o wonderful_a fruit_n of_o it_o which_o be_v his_o special_a redemption_n and_o give_v himself_o for_o i_o b_o christ_n can_v not_o love_v his_o as_o his_o father_n love_v he_o even_o with_o the_o infinite_a and_o most_o tender_a love_n of_o god_n and_o still_o suffer_v they_o to_o remain_v under_o the_o law_n and_o sin_n and_o death_n and_o the_o power_n of_o the_o devil_n but_o he_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n and_o so_o able_a the_o love_n of_o god_n within_o he_o make_v he_o willing_a yea_o even_o constrain_v he_o to_o redeem_v they_o and_o this_o redemption_n he_o can_v not_o otherwise_o bring_v about_o then_o by_o give_v himself_o for_o they_o and_o so_o he_o give_v himself_o for_o they_o indeed_o even_o to_o be_v make_v sin_n for_o they_o and_o a_o curse_n for_o they_o yea_o he_o give_v himself_o up_o to_o all_o the_o sorrow_n of_o death_n and_o pain_n of_o hell_n for_o they_o and_o to_o endure_v to_o the_o very_a utmost_a the_o whole_a wrath_n of_o his_o father_n for_o they_o and_o this_o be_v the_o great_a manifestation_n of_o the_o special_a love_n of_o christ_n that_o can_v be_v as_o john_n say_v herein_o be_v love_n not_o that_o we_o love_v he_o but_o that_o he_o love_v we_o and_o lay_v down_o his_o life_n for_o we_o now_o further_o we_o must_v know_v that_o as_o there_o be_v a_o general_a love_n that_o christ_n bear_v to_o all_o mankind_n so_o also_o there_o be_v a_o general_a redemption_n proportionable_a to_o that_o general_a love_n which_o be_v nothing_o else_o but_o this_o the_o save_n or_o rescue_v of_o the_o fall_v and_o lose_v world_n for_o a_o time_n from_o the_o execution_n of_o that_o death_n and_o damnation_n into_o which_o it_o have_v enwrap_v itself_o through_o sin_n but_o this_o be_v rather_o a_o reprieve_n then_o a_o redemption_n and_o if_o it_o be_v call_v a_o redemption_n it_o be_v but_o the_o common_a and_o temporary_a redemption_n of_o the_o world_n during_o the_o patience_n and_o long_o suffer_v of_o god_n towards_o the_o vessel_n of_o wrath_n prepare_v for_o destruction_n but_o after_o the_o determine_a time_n of_o god_n patience_n be_v expire_v the_o wrath_n of_o god_n break_v forth_o upon_o they_o and_o death_n and_o hell_n swallow_v they_o up_o but_o the_o special_a redemption_n of_o the_o church_n be_v a_o full_a perfect_a and_o eternal_a redemption_n of_o all_o the_o elect_a of_o god_n from_o sin_n and_o death_n and_o hell_n by_o the_o righteousness_n life_n and_o salvation_n of_o the_o son_n of_o the_o live_a god_n communicate_v unto_o they_o and_o this_o special_a redemption_n begin_v here_o in_o this_o life_n as_o soon_o as_o ever_o christ_n dwell_v in_o our_o heart_n by_o faith_n and_o it_o be_v perfect_v at_o the_o day_n of_o the_o revelation_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n now_o this_o special_a redemption_n extend_v itself_o no_o further_o than_o the_o special_a love_n of_o the_o son_n and_o of_o the_o father_n as_o may_v appear_v thus_o because_o the_o special_a redemption_n of_o christ_n extend_v itself_o no_o further_o than_o the_o father_n election_n as_o the_o father_n election_n extend_v itself_o no_o far_o than_o his_o good_a pleasure_n or_o the_o counsel_n of_o his_o will_n which_o do_v limit_v the_o infiniteness_n both_o of_o his_o goodness_n mercy_n wisdom_n and_o power_n in_o all_o his_o outward_a action_n towards_o the_o creature_n both_o in_o their_o creation_n and_o government_n as_o also_o in_o the_o dispensation_n of_o all_o blessing_n towards_o they_o both_o bodily_a and_o spiritual_a so_o then_o as_o the_o father_n election_n be_v limit_v by_o his_o love_n and_o good_a pleasure_n so_o the_o son_n redemption_n be_v limit_v by_o the_o father_n election_n and_o so_o the_o son_n redemption_n be_v full_a as_o large_a as_o the_o father_n election_n but_o no_o large_a for_o christ_n himself_o say_v that_o he_o come_v not_o to_o do_v his_o own_o will_n but_o the_o will_n of_o he_o that_o send_v he_o now_o the_o father_n will_n be_v that_o christ_n shall_v redeem_v all_o that_o he_o have_v love_v and_o elect_v and_o give_v to_o he_o but_o no_o more_o and_o so_o we_o must_v necessary_o know_v the_o latitude_n and_o extent_n of_o christ_n redemption_n by_o know_v the_o father_n love_n &_o will_v in_o his_o election_n and_o so_o christ_n redeem_v no_o more_o with_o his_o special_a redemption_n than_o those_o he_o love_v with_o this_o special_a love_n and_o thus_o he_o love_v no_o more_o than_o the_o father_n love_v 2._o christ_n special_a redemption_n of_o those_o who_o he_o love_v with_o this_o special_a love_n may_v be_v far_o evidence_v out_o of_o john_n 17._o where_o christ_n distinguish_v all_o mankind_n into_o these_o two_o sort_n viz._n the_o world_n and_o they_o that_o be_v give_v he_o out_o of_o the_o world_n and_o tell_v we_o that_o his_o intercession_n be_v not_o for_o the_o former_a but_o only_o for_o these_o latter_a say_v vers_fw-la 19_o i_o pray_v for_o they_o i_o pray_v not_o for_o the_o world_n but_o for_o those_o that_o thou_o have_v give_v i_o out_o of_o the_o world_n now_o we_o must_v know_v that_o the_o priestly_a office_n of_o christ_n consist_v of_o two_o part_n his_o oblation_n and_o intercession_n for_o first_o he_o offer_v himself_o a_o sacrifice_n for_o his_o people_n and_o then_o after_o that_o he_o pray_v for_o they_o who_o he_o have_v redeem_a by_o his_o blood_n and_o his_o intercession_n be_v found_v on_o his_o oblation_n and_o he_o never_o pray_v for_o any_o but_o for_o those_o who_o he_o have_v first_o redeem_v and_o who_o he_o have_v not_o redeem_a he_o pray_v not_o for_o and_o who_o he_o pray_v not_o for_o he_o redeem_v not_o and_o so_o christ_n not_o pray_v for_o the_o world_n it_o be_v evident_a he_o never_o die_v for_o the_o world_n for_o he_o of_o course_n and_o necessity_n perform_v the_o second_o part_n of_o his_o priestly_a office_n his_o intercession_n for_o all_o those_o for_o who_o he_o have_v perform_v the_o first_o part_n of_o his_o priestly_a office_n his_o oblation_n or_o sacrifice_n and_o for_o who_o he_o do_v not_o perform_v his_o intercession_n it_o be_v most_o certain_a that_o he_o never_o perform_v his_o redemption_n for_o they_o and_o this_o be_v so_o sure_a and_o certain_a a_o truth_n that_o the_o foolish_a and_o vain_a reason_n and_o discourse_n of_o man_n shall_v never_o be_v able_a to_o prevail_v against_o it_o nor_o yet_o the_o very_a gate_n of_o hell_n and_o thus_o you_o have_v see_v manifest_v to_o you_o the_o special_a redemption_n of_o christ_n as_o well_o as_o his_o special_a love_n both_o which_o he_o extend_v not_o alike_o to_o all_o mankind_n as_o the_o heretic_n say_v but_o only_a to_o those_o who_o his_o father_n have_v give_v he_o which_o be_v not_o all_o kindred_n
