Gospel reconciliation, or, Christ's trumpet of peace to the world

The Sixth Reason is this. They that shall live in the world shall generally come in to God; and indeed be actually reconciled in time. Though the world for the present be not so generally reconciled unto God: yet the Lord hath his time when the Jews shall be called, and the fullness of the Gentiles shall come in, and we shall see further Reason of the generality of this expression. God hath promised that Christ shall possess the utmost parts of the Earth, and that the Heirs of the promise shall inherit the World. I understand it literally. Rom. 4.23. God made a promise to Abraham, and to his Seed, that he should be the Heir of the World. And this Promise is yet to be fulfilled in a literal sense. In some spiritual sense the Saints may be said to be Heirs of the world: for indeed the right especially belongs to them (I do not say but ungodly men have right by gift, he giveth the Earth to the Children of men) but not by inheritance (as the Saints have) as Servants have a right to their meat, and drink, and what is given them: but the Children have a right by inheritance, so the Saints have a right to this world as well as to Heaven, and there is a time a coming when they will be possest with their inheritance. Then the Text will be true literally.

The Sixt Reason is this. They that shal live in the world shal generally come in to God; and indeed be actually reconciled in time. Though the world for the present be not so generally reconciled unto God: yet the Lord hath his time when the Jews shal be called, and the fulness of the Gentiles shall come in, and we shal see further Reason of the generality of this expression. God hath promised that Christ shal possess the utmost parts of the Earth, and that the Heirs of the promise shal inherit the World. I understand it litterally.
