Some Divines say, that All the World were thus far subject to the Jewish Law, that they could not be saved without knowing it, and submitting to it in obedience, because God had then no other Church nor stablished way of Worship. If this be true, then all the World hath a deliverance in the Abrogation of that Law. Others say, that it obliged only the Jews and Proselytes; and that others at the remotest distance should not have been obliged by that Law, if they had known it. If that be so, then it was only the Jews and Proselytes (such as had opportunity to incorporate with them, or join to them) that had this deliverance. However, it is evident it was to all the Jews, and so to more than the Elect: and then almost all the Arguments against Universal Satisfaction are hereby overthrown, for they are built on this, that Christ died only for the Elect.
