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

2. Redemption is no aggravation of that mans Apostasy, that never was an Apostate. It cannot be said, that they deny the Lord that bought them, who never denied him: And therefore it is a common aggravation of the sin of all that do sin against him, and of all their denial that do deny him: but all do not deny him. May not that be an aggravation of these mens sins in particular, which would also aggravate the sins of any other, according to the several quality of the sin?

Now to the uncertainties.
