Modern spelling is a reading aid: the words are the author’s, only the spelling is modernized. Original shows the page as printed, with the transcription marks.
And for the other words [whosoever believeth] as I have said before, they are primarily and directly the conditional expression, and to all: But secondarily and accidentally distributive, because all perform not the condition. So Rom. 10. 13. Whosoever shall call on the Name of the Lord shall be saved: Which verse 9. is conditionally thus expressed [if thou believe and if thou confess] and verse 11. It is put in equipollent terms, whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. So Rom. 9. 33. Joh. 11. 26. Act. 10. 43. Whosoever believeth in him shall receive Remission of Sins. Act. 2. 21. Joh. 12. 46. Mar. 10. 15. Mar. 8. 34, 38. Mat. 18. 4. and 5. 19, 21, 22, 28. and 10. 14, 32, 33, 42.
The 2d. Text that I shall allege, is the next Verses, Joh. 3. 17, 18, 19. For God sent not his Son into the World to condemn the World, but that the World through him might be saved. He that believeth on him is not condemned, but he that believeth not is condemned already; because he hath not believed on the name of the only begotten Son of God. And this is the condemnation, that Light is come into the World, and Men loved darkness rather than Light, &c.]
