Answ. This question being fitter for another place, what hope there is of the salvation of the people that are not Christians, I have purposely handled in another Treatise (in my Method. Theologiae), and shall only say now, 1. That those that receive not Christ and the1 Gospel revealed and offered to them cannot be saved. 2. That all those shall be saved (if such there be) who never had sufficient means to know Christ incarnate, and yet do faithfully perform the common conditions of the Covenant of Grace as it was made with Adam and Noah; And particularly, All that are truly sanctified, who truly hate all known sin, and Love God as God above all, as their merciful reconciled pardoning Father, and lay up all their hopes in Heaven, in the everlasting fruition of him in glory, and set their hearts there, and for those hopes deny the interest of the flesh, and all2 things of this World.
