to_o the_o second_o interpretation_n of_o the_o word_n galilee_n its_o signify_v revelation_n it_o be_v to_o be_v understand_v of_o christ_n not_o in_o the_o form_n of_o a_o servant_n but_o in_o

from_o want_n of_o love_n in_o god_n towards_o they_o and_o because_o he_o do_v not_o love_v they_o therefore_o he_o do_v reprobate_a and_o reject_v they_o i_o know_v not_o how_o the_o adversary_n can_v save_v himself_o from_o fall_v into_o the_o deep_a ditch_n of_o the_o calvinistical_a doctrine_n of_o absolute_a reprobation_n but_o have_v not_o christ_n die_v for_o all_o man_n if_o so_o he_o have_v then_o die_v for_o those_o who_o want_v the_o outward_a mean_n and_o what_o have_v christ_n gain_v for_o they_o by_o his_o death_n if_o nothing_o of_o his_o grace_n either_o already_o give_v

his_o six_o paragraph_n he_o seem_v in_o part_n to_o acknowledge_v r._n b._n his_o distinction_n between_o divine_a general_n revelation_n and_o special_a but_o he_o differ_v herein_o that_o he_o

concern_v the_o first_o he_o do_v indeed_o affirm_v that_o the_o say_v general_a revelation_n be_v only_o natural_a and_o not_o supernatural_a but_o he_o have_v not_o so_o much_o as_o assay_v to_o prove_v it_o now_o as_o to_o that_o question_n whether_o that_o general_a revelation_n be_v natural_a or_o supernatural_a it_o may_v be_v answer_v that_o in_o a_o different_a respect_n it_o be_v both_o natural_a and_o supernatural_a natural_a in_o respect_n of_o the_o subject_a of_o its_o inherence_n for_o many_o thing_n receive_v their_o denomination_n from_o the_o subject_a of_o inherence_n
