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

Prop. When I say Christ Died for all men, I mean not that he finally intended as Dominus absolutus, eventually to save all by his Death: But that he Died in the stead of all, suffering the punishment which by the Law of works was due to all mankind: And how far he died in bonum ominum, for the good of all is showed before, and shall be showed more anon.

Prop. When I say Christ Died for all men, I mean not that he finally intended as Dominus absolutus, eventually to save all by his Death: But that he Died in the stead of all, suffering the punishment which by the Law of works was due to all mankind: And how far he died in bonum ominum, for the good of all is shewed before, and shall be shewed more anon.

Secondly, We must distinguish betwixt the [the Gospel as it signifieth the Covenant of Grace with its grounds and fruits fully expressed] and as it signifieth [only some particular Gospel truths, which go before the full revelation of the said Covenant Grounds and Effects; as the Break of Day goeth before the Sun Rising: and the Revealing of some of the fruits of Christ's Death, by which streams, men should be drawn to enquire after the Fountain] in the later sense all have the Gospel; In the former, all have it not.

Thirdly, We must distinguish of [Preaching] which is either taken in general for any way of Revelation; or specially for a Revelation by Writing or Speaking. The former All have, the later not, (when I say [All men] I still mean [All that have the use of their senses and reason] and not Infants, Mad Men, Idiots, or Senseless, of whom more anon.) By this much you may see in what sense we acknowledge or deny the Truth both of Major and Minor proposition of the Argument. And hence also you may see how far I deny the Major of the next subservient Argument if withal you distinguish.
