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

God doth not make our receiving the condition of his offering, as to say [I will offer thee Christs satisfaction if thou wilt receive it] but he makes it the condition of our attaining the good offered q. d, [Christ with his benefits offered to thee shall be thine if thou wilt receive him.]

2. If it be only the Blood of Christ shed for others, and not for them which unbelievers sin against, then the sin of Devils might (as to this respect) be as well aggravated from the Blood of Christ sinned against as theirs: But the consequence is palpably absurd, Ergo &c.

3. Consider what heinous consequents will follow, if you deny this aggravation of the Sins of unbelievers. 1. You harden them in the most ⟨p. 175⟩desperate impenitency: For they cannot repent of that which they know not to be a Sin, and they cannot know that they have sinned against him that dyed for them, till they know that he did die for them; and who dare say to all the World, that yet know not that they are true believers, [you ought not to repent for any Sin as being committed against him that died for you.] Perkins Treat. of repentance, and multitudes of our godly English Writers when they press Men to repentance, do use this as the greatest motive, to consider what our Sins did cost the Lord Jesus, They cost him Blood, and should they not cost us tears? and should we make light of that which lay so heavy on him?

Hereby you deny that God may justly aggravate Mens Sins, or condemn Men for Sinning against Christ that died for them. 3. Hereby you persuade Men that their consciences shall not thus aggravate them in Hell, nor torment them for Sinning against him that suffered for them, all which I shall show anon, to be false. 4. Hereby you forbid Ministers from thus aggravating their Peoples Sins, and so from using the most effectual motive to draw them to repentance. And hereby you condemn almost all the most powerful Preachers in England, who generally take this course. And you reject the most powerful Books and Sermons which God
