Turne vs O good God and so shall we be turned Thirdly that Christ Iesus dyed sufficiently for all mankinde but effectually for none but the Elect and true beleeuers who alone are saued by his death The sufficiency of Christs death for all mankinde is expressed in these seuerall places O God the Sonne redeemer of the World haue mercy vpon vs miserable sinners Aboue all wee must giue humble and hearty thankes to God the Father c. for the redemption of the world by our Lord and Sauiour Iesus Christ c.
