ground_n give_v for_o every_o part_n there_o also_o be_v answer_v divers_a objection_n which_o we_o conceive_v be_v of_o two_o kind_n some_o as_o if_o god_n have_v change_v his_o will_n etc._n etc._n but_o these_o be_v speak_v of_o the_o last_o day_n but_o now_o of_o one_o or_o two_o more_o that_o may_v be_v make_v object_n and_o the_o next_o be_v that_o god_n in_o declare_v his_o will_n ezek_n 33.11_o as_o i_o live_v say_v the_o lord_n i_o desire_v not_o the_o death_n of_o a_o sinner_n yet_o there_o be_v many_o thousand_o sinner_n that_o die_v for_o all_o this_o therefore_o his_o will_n must_v be_v mutable_a answ_n the_o answer_n to_o this_o be_v take_v from_o the_o consideration_n of_o what_o kind_n of_o sinner_n the_o lord_n speak_v of_o sinner_n some_o be_v penitent_a that_o see_v and_o acknowledge_v themselves_o sinner_n and_o sorrow_n for_o and_o turn_v from_o their_o sin_n and_o cry_v and_o fly_v unto_o christ_n for_o salvation_n god_n do_v not_o will_n the_o death_n of_o such_o sinner_n neither_o shall_v they_o die_v but_o he_o that_o confess_v and_o for_o sake_v his_o sin_n shall_v find_v mercy_n but_o other_o be_v obstinate_a and_o harden_v in_o sin_n that_o add_v drunkenness_n to_o thirst_n and_o rebellion_n to_o sin_n without_o repentance_n god_n will_v laugh_v at_o these_o when_o their_o destruction_n come_v so_o then_o as_o long_o as_o god_n be_v please_v with_o repentance_n and_o pardon_v the_o penitent_a there_o be_v no_o alteration_n in_o god_n though_o the_o impenitent_a perish_v nay_o there_o will_v be_v alteration_n in_o he_o if_o they_o do_v not_o perish_v or_o it_o may_v be_v say_v and_o true_o that_o god_n be_v better_a please_v with_o the_o repentance_n then_o with_o the_o perdition_n of_o a_o sinner_n there_o be_v joy_n in_o heaven_n over_o one_o sinner_n that_o repent_v object_n again_o it_o be_v object_v the_o apostle_n paul_n say_v in_o tim._n 2.4_o that_o god_n will_v have_v all_o man_n save_v how_o shall_v it_o be_v then_o that_o any_o shall_v perish_v unless_o his_o will_v be_v changeable_a answ_n ambrose_n upon_o this_o place_n of_o the_o apostle_n expound_v it_o thus_o god_n will_v have_v all_o man_n to_o be_v save_v but_o so_o as_o they_o come_v to_o he_o he_o will_v have_v they_o save_v if_o they_o will_v salvation_n to_o themselves_o and_o if_o this_o sense_n be_v admit_v there_o be_v no_o shadow_n of_o change_n in_o god_n though_o many_o be_v not_o save_v because_o those_o many_o that_o be_v not_o save_v do_v not_o seek_v salvation_n saint_n austin_n understand_v all_o not_o collective_o for_o every_o singular_a man_n but_o distributive_o for_o some_o of_o all_o sort_n of_o man_n in_o which_o sense_n it_o be_v use_v in_o other_o place_n of_o scripture_n and_o so_o the_o meaning_n may_v be_v god_n will_v have_v all_o man_n save_v that_o be_v all_o sort_n of_o man_n jew_n greek_n bond_n free_a king_n and_o subject_n save_v and_o therefore_o prayer_n must_v be_v make_v for_o all_o sort_n of_o man_n and_o in_o this_o sense_n there_o be_v no_o change_n in_o god_n will_n though_o some_o of_o all_o sort_n perish_v because_o some_o of_o all_o sort_n be_v save_v as_o in_o the_o ark_n god_n save_v from_o the_o deluge_n all_o live_a creature_n not_o in_o the_o particular_a but_o in_o the_o kind_n because_o he_o save_v some_o of_o every_o sort_n again_o saint_n austin_n in_o another_o place_n explane_n it_o thus_o god_n will_v all_o shall_v be_v save_v because_o all_o that_o be_v save_v be_v save_v by_o god_n will_n as_o a_o physician_n be_v say_v to_o cure_v all_o who_o cure_v all_o that_o be_v cure_v and_o for_o this_o cause_n the_o apostle_n enjoine_v that_o prayer_n shall_v be_v make_v to_o god_n for_o all_o because_o without_o god_n none_o can_v be_v save_v and_o if_o we_o so_o expound_v it_o though_o many_o be_v not_o save_v yet_o there_o be_v no_o change_n in_o god_n will_n who_o will_v the_o salvation_n of_o all_o that_o be_v save_v as_o in_o christ_n all_o be_v say_v to_o be_v make_v alive_a 1_o cor._n 15.22_o because_o all_o that_o be_v make_v alive_a be_v make_v alive_a by_o christ_n so_o in_o this_o place_n in_o the_o same_o respect_n may_v god_n be_v say_v to_o will_v the_o salvation_n of_o all_o man_n add_v to_o these_o our_o faith_n thus_o god_n will_v have_v all_o man_n save_v he_o will_v the_o salvation_n even_o of_o the_o reprobate_n as_o a_o thing_n in_o itself_o good_a and_o suitable_a to_o the_o disposition_n of_o a_o gracious_a god_n but_o yet_o he_o do_v not_o determine_v or_o appoint_v it_o and_o therefore_o though_o many_o perish_v there_o be_v no_o change_n in_o god_n will_n this_o place_n show_v what_o god_n may_v approve_v of_o be_v do_v not_o what_o he_o determine_v to_o do_v he_o will_v it_o by_o a_o antecedent_n will_v as_o in_o itself_o consider_v but_o not_o with_o a_o consequent_a will_n and_o here_o be_v no_o change_n in_o god_n will_n final_o we_o answer_v that_o by_o all_o may_v be_v understand_v the_o all_z of_o the_o elect_a not_o of_o the_o reprobate_n as_o it_o be_v rom._n 5.18_o the_o free_a gift_n come_v upon_o all_o man_n to_o the_o justification_n of_o life_n that_o be_v in_o the_o verse_n
