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

The Kingdom of Heaven is like unto a certain King, which made a Marriage for his Son. And sent forth his Servants to call them that were hidden to the Wedding, and they would not come. And he sent forth other Servants, saying tell them, that are bidden, behold, I have prepared my dinner, my Oxen and Fatlings are killed, and all things are ready: Come unto the Marriage. And vers. 8. Then said he to his Servants, The Wedding is ready, but they which were bidden were not worthy. Add vers. 12. 13. So 2 Cor, 5. 18, 19, 20, 21. And all things are of God who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the Ministry of Reconciliation, to wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the World unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them, and hath committed unto us the word of Reconciliation. Now then we are Ambassadors for Christ, as though God did heseech you by us, We pray you in Christs stead, be reconciled to God. For God made him sin for us, who knew no sin, that we might be made the righteousness of God in him. Joh. 4. 42. This is indeed the Christ the Saviour of the World. 1 Joh. 4 14. 15. And we have seen and do testify that God sent his Son to be the Saviour of the World: Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him and he in God, 1 Joh. 5. 9. 10, 11. For this is the Witness which he hath testified of his Son. He that believeth on the Son of God hath the Witness in himself. He that believeth not God, hath made him a Liar because he believeth not the Record that God gave of his Son. And this is the ⟨p. 272⟩Record, that God hath given us Eternal Life, and this Life is in his Son: He that hath the Son, hath Life, and he that hath not the Son hath not Life. Heb. 6. 4, 5. 6. For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the Heavenly Gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost, and have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the World to come, if they shall fall away, to renew them again to Repentance, seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to open shame.
