There are some Divines abroad who condemning¹ Arminianism (and much more Pelagianism) yet have not adhered to the orthodox Doctrine asserted by the most approved Protestants writers and received by the best reformed Churches against the Arminians, in the article concerning the death of Christ. These have found out a middle and a singular way of their own, that Christ died for all men conditionally, viz, if they shall believe in him, that he hath redeemed all upon condition of Faith. One of their arguments is because otherwise we cannot encourage sinners to believe nor satisfy a troubled conscience, nor keep it from despairing. Upon the like ground that all may be comforted (every man being assured that Christ died for all men and so for himself) Mr Moore hath written a tractat of the universality of Gods grace, and of Christ dying for all men as himself expresseth in the title of his Book. Tis also one of Mr Saltma•sh his encouragements which he gives to sinners, that Christ died for sinners as sinners, as he speaks, whereupon it followeth (according to the rule, à quatenus ad omne) that he died for all sinners.
