5. I argue from the Unbelief of Men, which is wonderfully aggravated in Scripture: through Jesus Christ there is a real offer of Grace made, but Unbelief receives it in vain, 2 Cor. 6. 1. great Salvation is prepared, […] unbelief neglects it, Heb. 2. 3. Eternal […] is promised, but Unbelief comes short of it, Heb. 4. 1. the Kingdom of Heaven comes nigh to men, but Unbelief draws back from it, Heb. 10. 39. God himself bears witness that there is Life in his Son, even for all if they believe, but Unbelief saith No to it, and doth what it can to make him a liar, 1 Joh. 5. 10. Christ is set forth before our eyes as the great Expiatory Sacrifice, and evidently set forth as if he were crucified among us, his Blood runs fresh in the Veins of the Gospel, but Unbelief recrucifies the Son of God, Heb. 6. 6. tramples his precious blood under foot, Heb. 10. 29. and doth as it were nullify his glorious Sacrifice; so that as to final Unbelievers [Greek or Hebrew], there no more remaineth a sacrifice, Heb. 10. 26. as to their Salvation, 'tis as if there were no Sacrifice at all for them: But if Christ died not for all men, how can these things be? How ⟨p. 294⟩can those men receive Grace in vain for whom it was never procured? or neglect Salvation for whom it was never prepared? How can they fall short of eternal Rest for whom it was never purchased? or draw back from the Kingdom of Heaven which never approached unto them? How can there be life in Christ for those for whom he never died? and if not […] way doth their Unbelief give God the lye? How can they recrucifie the Son of God for whom he was never crucified? or trample on that precious Blood which was never shed for them? The Devils, as full of malice as they are against, Christ, are never said to do it, and why are men charged with it? I take it, because men have some share in him, and Devils none at all.
