tenent_n of_o universal_a redemption_n in_o handle_v this_o controversy_n i_o shall_v first_o propound_v sundry_a argument_n against_o it_o second_o i_o shall_v make_v answer_n unto_o the_o text_n allege_v by_o arminian_o for_o proof_n of_o their_o tenent_n three_o i_o shall_v confute_v a_o common_a answer_n of_o they_o give_v to_o a_o notable_a objection_n of_o we_o and_o four_o i_o shall_v confute_v their_o distinction_n of_o impetration_n and_o application_n i_o begin_v with_o the_o first_o of_o these_o and_o these_o be_v my_o argument_n against_o it_o argum._n i._n if_o christ_n forbid_v his_o minister_n to_o give_v or_o deliver_v his_o word_n and_o sacrament_n concern_v his_o death_n unto_o all_o man_n as_o unto_o unbelieving_a impenitent_a scandalous_a and_o wicked_a man_n then_o christ_n do_v not_o give_v or_o deliver_v himself_o to_o death_n for_o all_o man_n or_o than_o christ_n die_v not_o for_o all_o man_n the_o reason_n hereof_o be_v this_o if_o christ_n have_v give_v himself_o to_o death_n for_o all_o man_n good_a and_o bad_a then_o will_v he_o have_v his_o minister_n to_o do_v so_o too_o in_o deliver_v the_o word_n and_o sacrament_n and_o it_o be_v against_o reason_n to_o think_v that_o christ_n shall_v give_v himself_o for_o all_o man_n and_o forbid_v his_o minister_n to_o give_v he_o to_o all_o man_n or_o to_o some_o man_n so_o there_o be_v the_o same_o reason_n of_o both_o now_o if_o he_o forbid_v his_o minister_n to_o deliver_v his_o word_n and_o sacrament_n unto_o all_o man_n unto_o wicked_a and_o impenitent_a man_n then_o sure_o he_o do_v not_o deliver_v himself_o to_o death_n for_o all_o man_n for_o 1._o it_o be_v absurd_a to_o think_v that_o a_o minister_n commission_n in_o deliver_v the_o word_n and_o sacrament_n concern_v christ_n death_n shall_v be_v of_o less_o extent_n than_o christ_n his_o death_n be_v of_o as_o that_o his_o commission_n shall_v extend_v but_o to_o some_o man_n only_o when_o christ_n his_o death_n extend_v to_o all_o man_n wherefore_o if_o his_o commission_n be_v but_o unto_o some_o man_n only_o than_o christ_n his_o death_n be_v not_o to_o or_o for_o all_o man_n but_o to_o and_o for_o some_o man_n only_o 2._o the_o word_n and_o sacrament_n concern_v christ_n his_o death_n be_v sign_n represent_v christ_n death_n unto_o we_o now_o the_o sign_n and_o the_o thing_n signify_v by_o it_o must_v be_v of_o equal_a extent_n as_o if_o the_o sign_n belong_v but_o unto_o some_o man_n only_o than_o christ_n his_o death_n the_o thing_n signify_v by_o it_o belong_v not_o unto_o all_o man_n but_o unto_o some_o man_n only_o 3._o if_o christ_n will_v not_o permit_v his_o minister_n to_o give_v the_o bread_n and_o wine_n in_o the_o sacrament_n which_o be_v the_o lesser_a unto_o all_o man_n then_o much_o less_o will_v he_o give_v himself_o which_o be_v the_o great_a unto_o all_o man_n if_o he_o forbid_v his_o minister_n to_o give_v his_o bread_n and_o wine_n unto_o all_o man_n muchless_a will_v he_o give_v his_o life_n his_o own_o body_n and_o blood_n for_o all_o man_n if_o he_o deny_v the_o sign_n unto_o wicked_a and_o impenitent_a person_n then_o much_o more_o will_v he_o deny_v there_o the_o thing_n signify_v which_o be_v his_o precious_a body_n and_o blood_n so_o much_o for_o my_o proposition_n but_o christ_n forbid_v his_o minister_n to_o give_v or_o deliver_v his_o word_n and_o sacrament_n concern_v his_o death_n unto_o all_o man_n as_o unto_o unbelieving_a impenitent_a scandalous_a and_o wicked_a man_n this_o my_o assumption_n i_o thus_o prove_v first_o concern_v the_o sacrament_n 1._o it_o be_v the_o doctrine_n both_o of_o our_o own_o and_o other_o reform_a church_n that_o christ_n will_v not_o have_v the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n give_v by_o the_o minister_n unto_o unbeliever_n impenitent_a scandalous_a and_o wicked_a man_n 2._o philip_n will_v not_o give_v the_o sacrament_n of_o baptism_n unto_o the_o eunuch_n but_o upon_o the_o condition_n of_o his_o faith_n first_o act_v 8.37_o s._n paul_n will_v not_o have_v the_o lord_n supper_n give_v unto_o the_o incestuous_a person_n 1._o corinth_n 5.1_o 5_o 13._o nor_o unto_o impenitent_a wicked_a man_n as_o not_o unto_o fornicatour_n idolater_n drunkard_n railer_n nor_o extortioner_n 1._o cor._n 5.11_o and_o see_v matth._n 18.17_o so_o much_o for_o the_o sacrament_n next_o for_o the_o word_n 2._o concern_v the_o word_n christ_n will_v not_o have_v the_o word_n concern_v his_o death_n give_v or_o deliver_v by_o his_o minister_n unto_o unbeliever_n impenitent_a scandalous_a and_o wicked_a man_n which_o i_o thus_o prove_v in_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n the_o minister_n deliver_v the_o bread_n with_o these_o word_n of_o christ_n this_o be_v my_o body_n which_o be_v break_v for_o thou_o the_o which_o word_n be_v according_a to_o christ_n institution_n 1._o cor._n 11.24_o luke_n 22.19_o now_o forasmuch_o as_o christ_n will_v not_o have_v impenitent_a wicked_a person_n admit_v to_o the_o lord_n supper_n he_o will_v not_o have_v his_o minister_n deliver_v unto_o they_o this_o his_o word_n concern_v his_o death_n this_o be_v my_o body_n which_o be_v break_v for_o thou_o so_o christ_n minister_n may_v not_o say_v to_o a_o wicked_a man_n christ_n die_v for_o thou_o yet_o if_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

man_n in_o parable_n and_o dark_o to_o this_o end_n that_o they_o shall_v not_o obtain_v remission_n of_o sin_n and_o be_v the_o better_a for_o his_o death_n mark_v 4.11_o 12._o so_o much_o for_o my_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 fit_v for_o it_o and_o so_o be_v they_o do_v not_o put_v a_o bar_n in_o the_o way_n to_o hinder_v god_n by_o their_o evil_a desert_n and_o unfitedness_n hereunto_o i_o thus_o reply_n i_o will_v not_o 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 before_o to_o vouchsafe_v the_o gospel_n to_o they_o be_v this_o true_a or_o false_a i_o will_v not_o question_v it_o but_o rather_o grant_v it_o for_o argument_n sake_n but_o yet_o this_o i_o deny_v 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 soon_o as_o man_n be_v fit_v for_o it_o and_o not_o before_o for_o this_o be_v a_o absurd_a limitation_n and_o it_o be_v to_o maintain_v one_o error_n by_o another_o the_o which_o i_o make_v thus_o

at_o some_o other_o time_n before_o death_n but_o forasmuch_o as_o man_n abuse_v the_o light_n of_o nature_n all_o their_o life_n long_o and_o so_o die_v impenitent_o therefore_o they_o must_v hold_v that_o many_o man_n be_v never_o fit_a to_o hear_v of_o or_o know_v what_o christ_n have_v do_v for_o they_o and_o be_v it_o not_o absurd_a to_o say_v christ_n die_v for_o many_o man_n who_o nor_o
