B. You would make your selves and others believe that they deny that which they never dreamed of denying. Like him that dreamed that he was wounded, and called out for something to stop the blood. Do not all Protestaents profess to believe that Covenant and conditional Pardon as well as you? Do they not preach it constantly, and administer Baptism in the same terms as you do? who denieth that all are reconciled, if they will believe?

A. But by that they mean only exclusively that all are not reconciled or pardoned, because all believe not; And not inclusively that all men are conditionally pardoned already.
B. You mistake and slander them: Do they not read the very express pardon made already in Gods Word? That [Whoever believeth shall not perish,] &c. Joh. 3. 16. Mark 16. 16? Do they not all acknowledge that this is a Law of God, an Act of Oblivion, Enacted long ago by God? And is not this visible written Promise or Law of Grace an existent conditional pardon of all? No man of sense, and understanding, and faith denieth it.
