It is not only true […] he shall have Everlasting Life, but he hath it already in the beginnings •f it, and is in respect of the Promise of God as sure of Heaven •s if he were there already. Joh. 3.16. God gave his only begotten s•n that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have everlasting Life. All Believers shall be saved, whoever they be. By him all that believe are Justified and none else No Unbeliever dying in his state of Unbelief can be Saved. God has not only said but Sworn that Unbelievers shall not be Saved. Heb. 3.19. To whom […] he that •e• should not enter into his m•st, but to them that believe not.
