A86329	The order of causes. Of [brace] Gods fore-knowledge, election, and predestination. And of mans salvation or damnation. Laid down so clearly, and proved so plainly by the scriptures, that even the meanest capacity amongst rational men may understand it, to their great satisfaction. As also, whether Christ died for all, or not for all: with the causes and effects that may follow or not follow, seriously considered, meekly controverted, and plainly proved by the scriptures of truth; to the great satisfaction of all rational people fearing God. By Henry Haggar, a servant of Christ, and of the congregations of his saints.	Haggar, Henry.	1654 (1654)	Wing H188; Thomason E735_20; ESTC R206976	22,700	32

than_o the_o dispute_n be_v at_o a_o end_n notwithstanding_o it_o be_v yet_o further_o remarkable_a that_o as_o we_o hear_v there_o be_v a_o people_n in_o the_o other_o part_n of_o the_o world_n which_o worship_n idol_n or_o the_o sun_n moon_n and_o star_n yea_o that_o worship_v the_o devil_n so_o also_o those_o people_n do_v as_o well_o hear_v that_o there_o be_v a_o people_n in_o this_o part_n of_o the_o world_n which_o worship_n god_n and_o christ_n and_o do_v as_o familiar_o call_v we_o christian_n as_o we_o call_v they_o heathen_n again_o all_o that_o worship_v any_o thing_n for_o a_o god_n do_v by_o that_o acknowledge_v that_o there_o be_v a_o god_n and_o all_o that_o offer_v sacrifice_n to_o a_o god_n do_v by_o that_o confess_v there_o be_v a_o god_n offend_v or_o may_v be_v offend_v and_o be_v reconcilable_a by_o sacrifice_n and_o it_o be_v apparent_a that_o those_o which_o have_v not_o the_o law_n be_v a_o law_n to_o themselves_o as_o paul_n say_v rom._n 2.14_o 15._o which_o show_v the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n write_v in_o their_o heart_n their_o conscience_n also_o hear_v they_o witness_n and_o their_o thought_n the_o mean_a while_n accuse_v or_o else_o excuse_v one_o another_o in_o the_o day_n when_o god_n shall_v judge_v the_o secret_n of_o all_o man_n by_o christ_n jesus_n according_a to_o my_o gospel_n say_v paul_n vers_fw-la 16._o and_o thus_o be_v all_o

of_o god_n i_o shall_v now_o speak_v a_o word_n or_o two_o about_o christ_n death_n and_o the_o offer_n of_o grace_n by_o his_o death_n to_o the_o son_n of_o man_n the_o main_a question_n be_v whether_o christ_n die_v for_o all_o or_o but_o for_o some_o to_o which_o i_o shall_v answer_v by_o the_o scripture_n show_v i._o the_o testimony_n of_o all_o the_o prophet_n 2._o of_o the_o angel_n

every_o one_o turn_v to_o his_o own_o way_n and_o the_o lord_n have_v lay_v on_o he_o the_o iniquity_n of_o we_o all_o thus_o isaiah_n show_v plain_o that_o the_o iniquity_n of_o all_o those_o that_o go_v astray_o be_v lay_v upon_o christ_n and_o to_o he_o the_o testimony_n of_o all_o the_o other_o prophet_n agree_v act_v 10._o 43._o to_o he_o give_v all_o the_o prophet_n witness_n that_o through_o his_o name_n who_o soever_o believe_v in_o he_o shall_v receive_v remission_n of_o sin_n the_o same_o say_v that_o great_a prophet_n john_n baptist_n john_n 1.7_o who_o come_v to_o bear_v

thus_o have_v all_o the_o prophet_n with_o one_o consent_n testify_v that_o god_n lay_v upon_o christ_n the_o iniquity_n of_o all_o that_o be_v go_v astray_o that_o he_o be_v the_o lamb_n of_o god_n that_o take_v away_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o world_n that_o all_o man_n through_o he_o may_v believe_v and_o that_o through_o his_o name_n whosoever_o believe_v in_o he_o shall_v receive_v remission_n of_o sin_n likewise_o the_o angel_n of_o god_n testify_v luke_o 2.10_o the_o same_o thing_n in_o effect_n say_v fear_v not_o for_o i_o bring_v you_o glad_a tiding_n of_o great_a joy_n which_o shall_v

still_o appear_v that_o christ_n die_v for_o all_o man_n or_o else_o it_o can_v not_o be_v glad_a tiding_n of_o great_a joy_n to_o all_o people_n but_o rather_o sad_a tiding_n to_o all_o those_o for_o who_o he_o die_v not_o if_o there_o be_v any_o such_o and_o now_o we_o come_v to_o the_o word_n of_o christ_n himself_o who_o know_v his_o own_o business_n better_o than_o any_o man_n else_o and_o therefore_o if_o his_o testimony_n agree_v with_o those_o that_o have_v go_v before_o we_o must_v needs_o be_v convince_v that_o it_o be_v a_o truth_n for_o which_o see_v john_n 3.14_o 15_o 16._o in_o these_o word_n as_o moses_n lift_v up_o the_o serpent_n in_o the_o wilderness_n even_o so_o must_v the_o son_n of_o man_n be_v lift_v up_o that_o whosoever_o believe_v in_o he_o shall_v not_o perish_v
