2 This God did that the glory of his great name might appear, Ephes. 1.5, 6, 7. Deut. 7.8. God did not love us, because we were many, but because it pleased him to love us: there is a great difference in the death of Christ, in respect of his own and the wicked; the benefit they have by Christs death is this, that they partake of Gods patience and bounty: for the same day that Adam sinned, he and his posterity should have dyed, Gen. 3.15. But the benefit that the godly have, is, that we might live, and that we might all come to the knowledge of his grace, 2 Pet. 3.9. Rom. 2.4, 5. so that if they ask why God is patient to the world, it is for Christs sake, Exod. 33.1. to 5.

3 God sent Christ into the world, that so he suffering, his Elect might suffer, he growing, they might grow, and he dying, they might dye, Col. 2.29. There is a difference between Christs dying for the world, and for the elect; He so dyed for the Elect, as that he prayed that his death might be effectual to them, John 17.9.20, 21. he prays for all them that shall believe in him, he prays not for the world.

Use 1. This refutes an error of the Papists, that Christ was equal in his love to all the world, and that without difference God sent his Son for the one as well as for the other; they say God doth not bestow his love without condition; this we deny.

3 A ground of comfort, if God so loved us, when we loved not him, then how much more being reconciled? Rom. 5.8, 9, 10.

4 To teach those that have not found reconciliation with God, what course to take to be reconciled, 1 John 2.2. get the Lord Jesus Christ to be a Propitiatory Sacrifice.
