What colour of imposture and dissimulation, doth appear in all this? For glory and salvation, God doth not will that it shall be the portion of any one of ripe years, absolutely but conditionally, to wit, if he repent and believe. And in case all and every one of the World should believe and repent, all and every one (how notorious sinners soever they be found) shall be saved; such is the sufficiency of Christs merits. I say this is true, not of them only, who are invited to the Wedding. Math. 22. Nor of them only, to whom Saint Peter speaketh, Acts 3. 26. Or to them only, of whom our Saviour speaketh, Math. 23. 37. But of all and every one throughout the World: and it is as true, that none of them shall be saved, if they dye in infidelity and impenitency, this God himself signifieth to be his will by his promise, Acts 2. 28, 29. on the one part, and on both parts, Mark 16. 16. And as God signifieth this to be his will, so indeed is his will according to our doctrine, and there is no colour of imposture or simulation in all this. In like sort as touching the grace of pardon of sin, this also God offers unto all that hear the Gospel, but how? Not absolutely but conditionally, in case they believe and repent; and it is Gods will that every one who believeth, shall have his sin pardoned; none that I know either thinketh or teacheth otherwise, whether he falleth out either to be elect or reprobate; though how to distinguish men according unto this difference I know not, I leave that unto God.
