scripture_n that_o he_o die_v for_o many_o as_o well_o as_o for_o all_o as_o isa_n 53.12_o he_o bear_v the_o sin_n of_o many_o matth._n 20.28_o he_o give_v his_o life_n a_o ransom_n for_o many_o

for_o all_o in_o another_o or_o else_o the_o expression_n of_o his_o die_v for_o many_o be_v needless_a in_o that_o it_o be_v so_o oft_o express_v that_o he_o die_v for_o all_o second_o because_o it_o be_v oft_o say_v that_o he_o die_v for_o his_o church_n as_o john_n 10.15_o i_o lay_v down_o my_o life_n for_o the_o sheep_n eph._n 5.25_o husband_n love_v your_o wife_n even_o as_o christ_n also_o

man_n and_o special_o of_o his_o church_n witness_v the_o distinction_n make_v by_o the_o apostle_n in_o the_o forecited_n text_n therefore_o he_o die_v for_o all_o man_n in_o a_o different_a sense_n

quaery_n i_o answer_v that_o he_o die_v for_o all_o wicked_a man_n and_o unbeliever_n in_o these_o two_o sense_n according_a to_o scripture_n 1._o as_o suffer_v a_o satisfactory_a punishment_n for_o

of_o the_o apostle_n 1_o tim._n 2.6_o there_o be_v one_o mediator_n between_o god_n and_o man_n the_o man_n christ_n jesus_n who_o give_v himself_o a_o ransom_n for_o all_o a_o testimony_n in_o due_a time_n and_o again_o heb._n 2.9_o the_o apostle_n say_v that_o he_o taste_v death_n for_o every_o man_n 2._o he_o die_v for_o they_o upon_o condition_n of_o their_o faith_n and_o obedience_n according_a to_o these_o scripture_n john_n 3.16_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 whosoever_o believe_v in_o he_o shall_v not_o perish_v but_o have_v everlasting_a life_n and_o heb._n 5.9_o he_o become_v the_o author_n of_o eternal_a salvation_n unto_o all_o they_o that_o obey_v he_o and_o so_o in_o like_a manner_n it_o be_v the_o

and_o so_o to_o bring_v they_o to_o salvation_n which_o appear_v by_o scripture_n to_o be_v a_o clear_a truth_n these_o two_o way_n 1._o because_o scripture_n have_v reveal_v abundant_o god_n purpose_n to_o the_o contrary_a namely_o to_o save_v some_o man_n but_o not_o all_o the_o proof_n whereof_o be_v so_o numerous_a that_o i_o need_v not_o quote_v any_o 2._o because_o if_o christ_n

else_o christ_n purpose_n may_v be_v alter_v but_o his_o purpose_n can_v be_v alter_v or_o disappoint_v and_o therefore_o he_o die_v not_o for_o all_o with_o a_o purpose_n to_o save_v all_o that_o his_o purpose_n can_v be_v alter_v i_o prove_v both_o because_o he_o can_v neither_o alter_v it_o himself_o nor_o can_v any_o other_o alter_v it_o that_o he_o can_v alter_v it_o himself_o be_v oft_o

religion_n duty_n and_o charity_n from_o whence_o it_o be_v clear_a that_o benefice_a minister_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n in_o their_o several_a respective_a incumbency_n have_v as_o full_a just_a and_o legal_a title_n and_o claim_n to_o their_o tithe_n and_o as_o much_o right_n thereunto_o as_o any_o lord_n of_o a_o manor_n freeholder_n or_o other_o person_n have_v to_o any_o of_o the_o
