Romans5:7

7 For scarcely for a righteous man will one dy: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to dy.

He amplifies the Love of Christ in dying for the ungodly, and shews that it is unparalleld and without example.

By a good man, you must understand one that is very kind and bountiful, or one that is very useful and profitable; that is, a publick and common good. Instances may be given of those that have sacrificed their lives for such. Lilloe stept between the Murtherer and King Edwin his Master. Nich. Ribische lost his life to preserve Prince Maurice at the Seige of Pista.

Marginal references: Or, [illegible: 1 letter]span dye.
