Tempted.
The World (as I have heard) is taken two ways in Scripture, Largely for all mankind; and strictly for the elect, or believers: In this latter sense Christ dyed for the World. Or if for all, yet it was only dignitate pretii, not voluntate propositi; thus only for a few selected ones, with whom it is not my lot to be numbered.

CONSIDERATION.
Suffer not thy self to be abused by them, who pretending thy comfort, yet seek nothing less, but only the promoting of their own cause. And observe how he takes notice of no other benefits of Christs death, then such as belong unto men upon the condition of faith, to wit, pardon of sin and Salvation; in which case the mention of Gods elect comes in very unseasonably. And thus is the love of God set forth unto us; so God loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish but have everlasting life: And if it be not thy lot to be numbered amongst believers, then we can give thee, by Gods Word, no assurance of thy Salvation. But if thou art not a believer yet, thou mayest be in good time as formerly I have spoken more at large; and therefore no reason to think thou art a Reprobate. And if once thou dost believe in Christ, our doctrine gives thee assurance of Justification, Salvation, and Election; the Arminian doctrine doth not.
