Arg. 1. That Doctrine which doth enervate, or make void the Satisfaction of Christ for actual sins, cannot be a friend, but a great enemy to the faith and comfort of a poor, doubting, and afflicted soul; for he is especially troubled for his actual sins; and the great comfort that he hath, lieth in this, That Christ hath satisfied for them. Now, what saith the Doctrine of Universal Redemption, to the Satisfaction of Christ for actual sins? It plainly tells us, that a man may be, and thousands are damned for those very sins which Christ hath satisfied for, and it must needs •ay so; for if Christ died for all the particular men in the world, then all the particular men in the world may be saved; and if they may be saved, then Christ did bear their actual sins on the Cross, or else a mans sins may be pardoned, which Christ did not bear on the Cross; and if Christ did bear the actual sins of all the Particular men in the world, then those that are damned, must be damned for those very sins which Christ did bear, and satisfy for, or else they are not damned for them: But men are not only damned for their final unbelief, but for sins against the Law; for the Law is made for the ungodly: and Rom. 2.12. As many as have sinned without Law, shall also perish without Law. And because of these things (saith the Apostle, speaking of actual sins against the Law) the wrath of God cometh upon the Children of disobedience. Now if men be damned for their actual sins against the Law, and Christ have born them on the Cross, and satisfied for them, then men are ⟨p. 320⟩damned for those very sins which Christ hath satisfied for; and if so, then what is this but to enervate, and make void the satisfaction of Christ? If you pay a debt, and afterward be thrown into prison for the same debt, doth not the imprisonment make void the satisfaction of your payment. Yet thus now it is, according to the Principles of this Doctrine of Universal Redemption: surely therefore that Doctrine is no friend, but a great enemy to the faith and comfort of a poor, doubting, and afflicted foul.
