Universal redemption of mankind, by the Lord Jesus Christ stated and cleared by the…

6. He giveth them under his hand a Conditional Remission and grant of Salvation: If they will have him, and Life with him they may, For this is the Record (which men perish for not believing) that God hath given us Eternal Life, and this Life is in his Son: He that hath the Son hath Life, and he that hath not the Son (for all that gift) hath not Life, 1 John 5. 10, 11, 12. This end Christ attained, and therefore dyed not in vain.

7. He putteth men in a way towards recovery, appointing them some means to be used thereto, and giving them sufficient grace or help to that use of those means which he first requireth of them.

8. These men do actually partake of a multitude of mercies in this Life, besides the forementioned: They enjoy a comfortable, healthful ⟨p. 449⟩Life, with the supply of their wants, being provided for with necessaries, and usually with delightful abundance; having the service and use of all the Creatures. They are kept from all cause of desperation, and the self-tormentings of Conscience which are its inseparable concomitants; and which those that feel do often call the torments of Hell within them. They are not only kept out of Hell it self, but (as is said) have a possibility of everlasting escaping it; and if they will not reject it, they shall certainly enjoy Eternal Life. All the mercies (in one word) which ever they receive are from the Blood of Christ; and therefore as to them, he Died not in vain. Their Lives indeed might have been continued according to the tenor of the first violated Law, but it would only have been as a fit subject of misery: It would not have been such a Life of Hope, Delights, and Abundant Mercies.
