and_o therefore_o though_o god_n do_v thus_o proclaim_v his_o love_n to_o all_o yet_o see_v it_o be_v impossible_a that_o any_o other_o than_o the_o elect_a shall_v believe_v this_o text_n do_v not_o

through_o the_o death_n of_o his_o son_n for_o without_o blood_n there_o be_v no_o remission_n heb._n 9.22_o now_o if_o god_n have_v so_o love_v the_o world_n that_o he_o have_v give_v his_o son_n that_o whosoever_o believe_v in_o he_o shall_v not_o perish_v but_o have_v eternal_a life_n than_o the_o son_n must_v die_v for_o all_o otherwise_o if_o those_o he_o do_v not_o die_v for_o shall_v believe_v a_o hundred_o time_n yet_o must_v they_o die_v in_o their_o sin_n yea_o they_o be_v as_o far_o from_o salvation_n as_o ever_o they_o be_v and_o so_o this_o opinion_n do_v contradict_v the_o word_n of_o god_n deny_v that_o god_n have_v so_o love_v man_n or_o so_o give_v christ_n that_o all_o man_n may_v have_v life_n through_o say_v for_o god_n be_v able_a no_o more_o nor_o no_o further_o to_o extend_v the_o glad_a tiding_n of_o life_n peace_n and_o remission_n of_o sin_n than_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n which_o be_v the_o ground_n of_o the_o gospel_n do_v extend_v for_o he_o may_v as_o well_o pardon_v and_o remit_v the_o sin_n of_o all_o man_n without_o relation_n to_o the_o blood_n and_o sacrifice_n of_o his_o son_n as_o he_o way_n preach_v and_o proffer_v remission_n of_o sin_n or_o eternal_a life_n to_o all_o or_o any_o man_n for_o who_o christ_n do_v not_o shed_v his_o blood_n but_o as_o god_n will_v not_o do_v that_o which_o be_v unjust_a so_o neither_o will_v he_o

and_o therefore_o they_o be_v dead_a and_o that_o all_o be_v dead_a appear_v in_o that_o christ_n die_v for_o all_o and_o this_o i_o conceive_v to_o be_v the_o meaning_n of_o these_o word_n if_o one_o

he_o so_o pray_v for_o shall_v certain_o be_v save_v to_o which_o i_o answer_v that_o god_n have_v not_o in_o the_o scripture_n declare_v absolute_o or_o peremptory_o that_o he_o will_v save_v all_o man_n but_o he_o have_v declare_v and_o that_o true_o and_o sincere_o that_o he_o will_v have_v all_o man_n to_o be_v save_v he_o speak_v in_o the_o optative_a mood_n he_o will_v it_o he_o desire_v it_o and_o in_o this_o also_o we_o must_v understand_v that_o god_n speak_v after_o the_o manner_n of_o man_n now_o what_o man_n desire_v they_o use_v mean_n to_o accomplish_v so_o god_n will_v and_o

god_n will_v be_v please_v to_o manifest_v the_o gospel_n of_o grace_n to_o they_o which_o be_v able_a to_o save_v their_o soul_n that_o he_o will_v bring_v they_o that_o be_v that_o he_o will_v use_v
