be_v say_v to_o intend_v thing_n because_o he_o put_v forth_o himself_o by_o mean_n of_o that_o infinite_a perfection_n of_o his_o be_v after_o such_o a_o manner_n for_o the_o bring_v to_o pass_v of_o such_o and_o such_o effect_n as_o man_n do_v when_o they_o intend_v any_o thing_n for_o example_n when_o a_o man_n intend_v any_o thing_n this_o in_o his_o course_n he_o project_n mean_n or_o set_v afoot_a and_o engage_v himself_o in_o such_o or_o such_o a_o way_n for_o the_o effect_n of_o what_o he_o intend_v which_o be_v apt_a and_o proper_a to_o effect_v it_o and_o in_o this_o sense_n i_o affirm_v that_o god_n intend_v the_o salvation_n of_o all_o because_o he_o afford_v &_o exhibit_v mean_n proper_a for_o the_o salvation_n of_o all_o by_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n and_o therefore_o by_o the_o way_n it_o will_v not_o follow_v that_o in_o case_n the_o salvation_n of_o all_o man_n be_v not_o actual_o effect_v that_o therefore_o god_n fail_v and_o miscarry_v in_o his_o intention_n and_o the_o reason_n be_v because_o what_o ever_o be_v attribute_v to_o god_n which_o be_v borrow_v from_o man_n as_o wisdom_n love_n hatred_n and_o a_o thousand_o such_o thing_n they_o be_v only_o attribute_v to_o he_o by_o way_n of_o effect_n and_o not_o by_o way_n of_o affect_v or_o of_o any_o formal_a existence_n or_o be_v in_o god_n for_o there_o be_v no_o such_o thing_n as_o love_n or_o hatred_n or_o wisdom_n in_o he_o to_o speak_v proper_o but_o god_n by_o mean_n of_o his_o pure_a and_o simple_a essence_n he_o be_v these_o and_o all_o these_o eminent_o and_o transcendent_o but_o none_o of_o they_o formal_o that_o be_v in_o such_o a_o propriety_n of_o their_o several_a nature_n as_o wherein_o they_o be_v find_v in_o man_n and_o in_o angel_n too_o they_o be_v not_o in_o the_o divine_a nature_n upon_o any_o such_o account_n as_o they_o be_v in_o man_n so_o that_o when_o we_o say_v god_n intend_v the_o salvation_n of_o all_o man_n we_o suppose_v that_o god_n do_v that_o or_o behave_v himself_o upon_o such_o term_n and_o in_o such_o a_o way_n as_o man_n do_v when_o they_o intend_v any_o thing_n yet_o not_o so_o that_o god_n do_v all_o thing_n or_o every_o thing_n that_o man_n do_v under_o their_o intention_n it_o be_v sufficient_a according_a to_o the_o common_a notion_n of_o all_o divine_n that_o similitude_n be_v good_a and_o serviceable_a to_o their_o end_n if_o they_o hold_v in_o any_o one_o particular_a though_o they_o fall_v short_a and_o vary_v in_o a_o thousand_o other_o as_o for_o example_n if_o god_n do_v any_o one_o thing_n by_o mean_n of_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n which_o man_n be_v wont_a to_o do_v ordinary_o upon_o their_o intention_n than_o i_o suppose_v the_o doctrine_n be_v true_a and_o will_v stand_v good_a that_o god_n do_v intend_v the_o salvation_n of_o all_o and_o therefore_o as_o man_n when_o they_o intend_v many_o thing_n they_o do_v not_o always_o intend_v they_o upon_o the_o high_a and_o most_o absolute_a term_n but_o they_o may_v real_o and_o true_o be_v say_v to_o intend_v they_o if_o they_o can_v be_v obtain_v by_o such_o and_o such_o mean_n as_o for_o example_n to_o purchase_v a_o house_n a_o man_n may_v intend_v it_o if_o he_o can_v have_v it_o upon_o reasonable_a term_n and_o such_o as_o become_v a_o prudent_a man_n to_o give_v for_o it_o but_o it_o do_v not_o follow_v that_o therefore_o he_o will_v give_v out_o of_o reason_n for_o it_o or_o such_o a_o price_n that_o shall_v declare_v he_o to_o be_v a_o fool_n or_o a_o man_n inconsiderate_a in_o his_o way_n and_o so_o god_n intend_v the_o salvation_n of_o all_o by_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n so_o far_o as_o to_o give_v mean_n unto_o all_o which_o be_v equitable_a and_o agreeable_a to_o his_o wisdom_n for_o their_o salvation_n not_o that_o he_o do_v intend_v by_o way_n of_o decree_n for_o the_o decree_n of_o god_n if_o we_o take_v the_o word_n strict_o they_o be_v absolute_a and_o unchangeable_a and_o he_o will_v engage_v his_o mighty_a power_n to_o effect_v they_o as_o the_o resurrection_n of_o the_o dead_a and_o the_o glorification_n of_o all_o those_o who_o shall_v live_v and_o die_v in_o the_o faith_n of_o his_o son_n these_o be_v so_o decree_v by_o god_n that_o all_o the_o interposing_n of_o all_o creature_n can_v never_o hinder_v the_o execution_n of_o they_o but_o now_o those_o thing_n which_o be_v proper_o

of_o all_o man_n and_o we_o shall_v first_o begin_v with_o that_o know_a scripture_n joh._n 3._o 16._o for_o god_n so_o love_v the_o world_n that_o he_o give_v his_o only_a beget_v son_n that_o

the_o sense_n of_o the_o place_n must_v run_v thus_o so_o god_n love_v the_o elect_a of_o god_n that_o whosoever_o of_o these_o elect_n of_o god_n shall_v believe_v they_o shall_v not_o perish_v but_o etc._n etc._n which_o clear_o imply_v that_o some_o of_o the_o elect_a of_o god_n will_v not_o believe_v and_o so_o consequent_o may_v perish_v but_o this_o be_v to_o put_v a_o nonsense_n upon_o the_o

god_n so_o love_v the_o elect_n that_o he_o will_v give_v they_o faith_n and_o save_v they_o m._n goodwin_n i_o do_v not_o understand_v your_o answer_n but_o either_o you_o mean_v by_o the_o world_n the_o elect_n only_o or_o else_o more_o than_o the_o elect_n or_o all_o mankind_n in_o general_a but_o say_v i_o neither_o of_o the_o former_a sense_n can_v be_v mean_v neither_o the_o elect_a only_o nor_o some_o other_o beside_o the_o elect_n but_o only_o the_o whole_a posterity_n of_o adam_n m._n powell_n i_o say_v by_o the_o word_n world_n in_o this_o place_n be_v mean_v the_o elect_a only_o because_o the_o evangelist_n say_v god_n so_o love_v the_o world_n he_o put_v a_o so_o upon_o it_o now_o you_o never_o find_v that_o god_n in_o scripture_n be_v say_v to_o love_v all_o the_o posterity_n of_o adam_n with_o such_o a_o love_n which_o be_v here_o call_v a_o love_a of_o they_o so_o and_o which_o be_v call_v in_o eph._n 2._o a_o great_a love_n m._n goodwin_n the_o scripture_n hold_v forth_o a_o twofold_a love_n of_o god_n first_o a_o general_a love_n which_o be_v attribute_v to_o he_o in_o respect_n of_o all_o his_o creature_n and_o second_o a_o more_o particular_a and_o

which_o show_v that_o this_o particle_n so_o be_v not_o only_o intensive_a and_o do_v not_o only_o stand_v there_o to_o declare_v the_o greatness_n and_o transcendency_n of_o the_o love_n of_o god_n

upon_o such_o term_n only_o that_o whosoever_o believe_v in_o he_o shall_v not_o perish_v but_o have_v everlasting_a life_n m._n powell_n you_o affirm_v these_o two_o thing_n that_o there_o be_v a_o

of_o a_o special_a love_n you_o seem_v to_o say_v that_o it_o be_v not_o a_o special_a love_n which_o this_o word_n so_o hold_v out_o but_o i_o say_v this_o be_v a_o special_a love_n my_o reason_n

by_o he_o towards_o those_o that_o do_v actual_o believe_v so_o that_o place_n in_o the_o roman_n do_v not_o hold_v forth_o or_o speak_v of_o any_o such_o love_n for_o the_o love_n of_o god_n be_v general_a and_o he_o commend_v it_o exceed_o and_o marvellous_o herein_o but_o yet_o it_o be_v a_o love_n so_o limit_v and_o qualify_v by_o god_n that_o no_o person_n shall_v partake_v of_o the_o

it_o upon_o this_o account_n because_o he_o conceive_v that_o god_n in_o justice_n be_v bind_v to_o give_v eternal_a life_n unto_o that_o man_n that_o walk_v up_o unto_o the_o principle_n of_o

a_o sufficiency_n of_o mean_n to_o he_o that_o walk_v according_a to_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n second_o i_o deny_v it_o upon_o this_o account_n because_o no_o man_n ever_o yet_o do_v walk_v according_a to_o those_o principle_n as_o the_o apostle_n do_v plain_o prove_v it_o in_o the_o first_o and_o second_o chapter_n of_o the_o roman_n the_o second_o sort_n that_o i_o have_v meet_v
