bitter_a death_n and_o passion_n so_o much_o for_o my_o proposition_n but_o christ_n will_v not_o pray_v for_o all_o man_n for_o proof_n hereof_o see_v john_n 17.8_o 9_o where_o believer_n be_v

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

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
