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

The Consequence of the Major proposition is plain, in that the state of all men that Christ dyed not for must needs be utterly hopeless, and remediless, for there is no other satisfaction to be hoped for besides that made by the blood of Jesus, and that is nothing to them, nor is there any hope or possibility that ever they should have part in a satisfaction that is no satisfaction for them; without blood there is no remission: If they should believe, and repent, and pray for mercy night and day, it would be but as the Rich Epicure in Hell prayed for a drop of water, all in vain, ⟨p. 238⟩for betwixt God and them is so great a gulf or distance by sin, that nothing without a Redeemer can do them any good, as to the least hope of Salvation. If you say, it is not to be supposed that they can believe, repent, and pray, I answer, that is (in your own sense) because it is supposed they are not redeemed, and the impossibility of their not repenting and believing shows the more fully the impossibility of their Salvation. And the reason why they do not actually despair, is not because they have any more remedy than the Damned, or cause to hope; but only because they are yet ignorant of the hopelessness of their own Condition, and as soon as they know the truth they will fully despair. So that there is no more possibility that a Man for whom Christ dyed not should be pardoned or saved, than that the Damned should, for both are equally impossible; If any say that God can find out another remedy besides and without Christs satisfaction, though he will not, and therefore it is not impossible. I will not examine the truth of that now, but if it be true of them on Earth, why not also of them in Hell? When once Men are in that state that there is no Sacrifice for their sin, then there remaineth nothing but the fearful expectation of Judgment, and Fire that shall devour the Adversary.
