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

Their drink offerings of blood will I not offer, nor take up their name into my lips, Gen. 3. 15. The Seed of the Woman shall break the Serpents head, and his seed bruise her heel, Mat. 11. 25. I thank thee O Father, Lord of Heaven and Earth, because tho• hast hid these things from the Wise and Prudent, and hast revealed them to Babes, Eph. 1. 7. In whom we have Redemption through his blood the forgiveness of sins, 2 Cor. 5. 21. For he made him to be sin for us who knew no sin, that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.

These are all the Texts that at present I can remember, or find used by those that write against Universal Redemption, which have any considerable show of a proof. of all which there is not one that excludeth the Non-Elect▪ nor any in the World from being the Persons for whom Christ dyed, as we shall see when we come to review them more particularly.

Nor is there any ill consequence following the Doctrine of Universal Satisfaction, but all that terrifies men from it, is seeming ill Consequences for want of right understanding it: most men think (who go that way) that Universal Redemption is inconsistent with absolute Election, and with special differencing Grace, and with Christs special intention of calling and saving his Chosen, whereas indeed it is so far from being inconsistent, that it is necessarily concomitant and supposed, and they may as well think that Universal Creation is inconsistent with Election and special grace. Indeed God hath in admirable wisdom laid Universal Grace as a ground work, and built special grace (as to the executive part) thereupon, and to deny the Universal Common grace, is to destroy the ground-work of special grace. If this were well understood, there would few sober Divines be against Universal Redemption, and therefore I still say, that it is a clear explication that must do more here (and is more needful) than argumentation. Yet because some do so importunately call for Arguments I have given these Thirty (and might add many more) and shall now proceed to those that are drawn from particular Texts of Scriptures having first laid down one or two more general considerations from the Scripture Language in this particular.
