2. Next let me give you some express Texts of Scripture, which I shall anon run over more fully and vindicate, and see which opinion is the truth of God, Joh. 3. 16. God so loved the World, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him, should not perish, but have everlasting Life, 2 Pet. 2. 1, 20, 21. But there were false Prophets also among the People, even ⟨p. 270⟩as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable Heresies even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction, 20. 21. And as Jude hath it. 4. There are certain Men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly Men, turning the Grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ, 1 Tim. 2. 5. 6. For there is one God, and one mediator between God and Men, the Man Christ Jesus, who gave himself a Ransom for all, to be testified in due time. 1 Job. 2. 2. He is the Propitiation for our Sins, and not for ours only, but also for the Sins of the whole World, Rom. 5. 18. Therefore as by the offence of one, judgment came upon all Men to condemnation, Even so by the righteousness of one, the free gift came upon all Men to justification of Life, Heb. 2. 9. That he by the Grace of God should taste Death for every Man, Tit. 2. 11. For the Grace of God that bringeth Salvation, hath appeared to all Men, 1 Tim. 2. 3, 4. Who will have all Men to be saved, and to come to the knowledge of the truth, Joh. 3. 17. 18. God sent not his Son into the World to condemn the World, but that the World through him might be saved. He that believeth on him is not condemned, But he that believeth not, is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. And this is the Condemnation, that light is come into the World, and Men loved darkness rather then light, because their deeds were evil.
