Whether Salvation may be attained without the knowledge of or Faith in Christ Jesus.

I Shall shut up all this discourse concerning the meritorious cause of Salvation, with their shutting out of Christ, from being the only one, and absolutely necessary means, to bring us unto heaven, to make us happy: this is the last Pile they erect upon their Babylonish foundation, which makes the Idol of humane self-sufficiency, every way perfect, and fit, to be sacrificed unto: until these proud builders, to get materials for their own Temple, laid the Axe to the root of Christianity, we took it for grounded, that there is no salvation in any other, because there is none other name under heaven, given unto men, whereby we must be saved: Acts 4. 12. Neither yet shall their nefarious attempts, frighten us from our Creed, nor make us be wanting to the defence of our Saviours honour, but I shall be very brief in the consideration of this Heterodoxy, nothing doubting, but that to have repeated it, is fully to have confuted it, in the judgement of all pious Christians.
