Prop. XXI. Those Scriptures that speak of the necessity of Christ to mans Salvation (for satisfying Justice) do plainly extend it to all men in the World, but those that speak of the necessity of believing seem to limit it to them that hear the Gospel, or might have heard it but for their own fault. It is true of all men, that there is no other name given under Heaven by which they can be saved, but the Name of Jesus: There is no Remission but by his Blood, nor Acceptance with God but for the sake of his Satisfaction and Merits. But it may be observed from the Context, that when it is said [He that believeth not shall be Damned] it is plainly fore-implied, that they are such as are called to believe. It hath the Nature of a threatening and therefore presupposeth the sin of Unbelief, and that it be not mere Negative Unbelief, but Privative; and that supposeth the duty of believing, and that supposeth the command constituting the Duty, and that supposeth Natural Power▪ in Man, (though not Moral) and the Natural possibility of obeying. Peruse each particular Text of this Nature and you will find this true.
