A77642	Scripture-redemption freed from men's restrictions: being an answer to a book lately published by Mr. William Troughton (who stiles himself a minister of the gospel at Onlep in Leicester-shire) intituled, scripture-redemption restrained and limited: as also the substance of several conferences and disputes had in England, Wales, and Scotland, with Mr. Heath, Mr. Bartley, Mr. Powel, Mr. Sam. Rutherford, and Mr. James Wood, two rectors of the university of S. Andrews, and many others, about the death of our most dear redeemer, and the controversies which are the constant concomitants of it. Together with a brief reply to Mr. Troughton's rayling accusations in his introduction. By J. Brown, sometimes of Orial Coll. in Oxford, afterwards a priest of the Church of England, and vicar of Tenbury in Worcester-shire; but now through mercy a preacher of the faith which once he destroyed.

as_o many_o do_v say_v that_o it_o be_v god_n appointment_n he_o so_o ordain_v it_o or_o that_o god_n do_v not_o show_v they_o his_o light_n of_o truth_n or_o that_o he_o do_v not_o do_v this_o real_o or_o that_o he_o do_v not_o give_v they_o ability_n to_o receive_v it_o as_o it_o be_v manifest_v and_o so_o follow_v it_o or_o else_o for_o that_o he_o give_v not_o his_o son_n to_o die_v for_o they_o neither_o be_v it_o his_o will_n that_o they_o shall_v repent_v and_o be_v sanctify_v but_o that_o they_o shall_v die_v in_o disobedience_n and_o so_o be_v damn_v sure_o if_o i_o shall_v say_v thus_o all_o good_a man_n will_v abhor_v i_o for_o such_o speech_n and_o well_o they_o may_v yet_o these_o be_v the_o tenant_n and_o say_n of_o those_o man_n against_o who_o opinion_n i_o have_v appear_v and_o sure_o i_o judge_v that_o as_o a_o man_n say_v to_o joab_n in_o another_o case_n i_o may_v positive_o conclude_v in_o this_o that_o themselves_o will_v set_v themselves_o against_o i_o if_o i_o shall_v go_v about_o and_o preach_v that_o god_n do_v appoint_v man_n to_o disobedience_n and_o to_o sin_n and_o not_o willing_a that_o all_o shall_v come_v to_o repentance_n but_o that_o some_o man_n even_o as_o they_o be_v man_n shall_v despise_v the_o riches_n of_o his_o grace_n and_o perish_v these_o hard_a speech_n i_o have_v hear_v some_o man_n to_o utter_v other_o be_v more_o moderate_a that_o god_n do_v only_o leave_v man_n to_o themselves_o whereto_o i_o say_v first_o that_o god_n never_o leave_v any_o man_n in_o that_o state_n whereunto_o adam_n bring_v they_o for_o he_o bring_v they_o to_o the_o earth_n and_o be_v not_o able_a to_o show_v they_o any_o mean_n of_o grace_n or_o so_o much_o as_o a_o resurrection_n from_o the_o grave_n but_o god_n leave_v not_o any_o man_n there_o but_o afford_v they_o such_o manifestation_n of_o his_o love_n as_o will_v leave_v all_o inexcusable_a before_o god_n second_o i_o answer_v that_o god_n do_v never_o nor_o ever_o will_v forsake_v any_o poor_a creature_n till_o they_o reject_v he_o 2_o chron._n 15._o 2._o but_o more_o of_o this_o elsewhere_o only_o i_o add_v this_o that_o when_o man_n have_v and_o still_o do_v refuse_v god_n he_o leave_v they_o and_o will_v have_v nothing_o to_o do_v with_o they_o this_o may_v suffice_v for_o evidence_n to_o this_o truth_n that_o it_o be_v not_o because_o god_n will_v have_v it_o so_o that_o man_n be_v still_o pollute_v in_o their_o conversation_n and_o unsanctified_a in_o their_o life_n but_o as_o you_o shall_v hear_v in_o the_o next_o place_n it_o be_v because_o they_o believe_v not_o joh._n 8._o 24._o i_o say_v therefore_o unto_o you_o that_o you_o shall_v die_v in_o your_o sin_n for_o if_o you_o believe_v not_o that_o i_o be_o he_o you_o shall_v die_v in_o your_o sin_n second_o because_o they_o will_v not_o be_v purge_v ezek._n 24._o 13._o because_o i_o have_v purge_v thou_o and_o thou_o be_v not_o purge_v thou_o shall_v not_o be_v purge_v from_o thy_o
