But the saying of Paul is urged, 2. Cor. 5. 18. God was in Christ, reconciling the World unto himself: therefore the promise in Christ, belongs to the whole World, & consequently to every one. Ans The same Apostle shall again answer for himself. Rom. 11. 15. The casting away of the Jews, is the reconciling of the world, that is, of the Gentiles in the last age of the world: for so he said before more plainly, The falling away of the Jew, is the riches of the world, and the diminishing of them, the riches of the Gentiles. And so must that place to the Corinths be understood, namely, not of all and every man, that lived in all ages and times; but of them that were (by the dispensation of the Gospel) to be called out of all kingdoms, and nations, after the death and ascension of Christ. Thus then the promise of salvation, is not universal, without exception, or restraint: and therefore application made by the universality of the promise, admits some falsehood.

The casting away of the Iewes, is the reconciling of the world, that is, of the Gentiles in the last age of the world: for so he said before more plainly, The falling avvay of the Ievv, is the riches of the world, and the diminishing of them, the riches of the Gentiles. And so must that place to the Corinths be vnderstood, namely, not of all and euery man, that liued in all ages and times; but of thē that were (by the dispensation of the Gospel) to be called out of all kingdomes, and nations, after the death and ascenfion of Christ. Thus then the promise of saluation, is not vniuersall, without exception, or restraint: and therefore application made by the vniuersalitie of the promise, admits some falshood.
