A61014	The fountaine of free grace opened by questions and answers proving the foundation of faith to consist only in Gods free love, in giving Christ to dye for the sins of all, and objections to the contrary answered by the congregation of Christ in London, constituted by baptisme upon the profession of faith, falsly called Anabaptists : wherein they vindicate themselves from the scandalous aspersions of holding free-will, and denying a free election by grace.	Saltmarsh, John, d. 1647.	1648 (1648)	Wing S483; ESTC R38050	13,442	32

that be preached or believed either if that were all seeing all doe enioy that though it be neither preached nor believed Obi. But Christ saith John 17. 9. I pray not for the world Therefore surely he did not dye for the sins of all the world A. Christs prayer is to be destinguished in respect of the thing prayed for to wit some things were speciall only belonging to the Saints ver. 9. compared with v. 11. 15. 17. and some things are common to all and so for such things Christ did pray for the world as ver. 21 23. though not in respect of the things in speciall belonging only in peculiar to the Saints Obj. But Christ saith I know that thou hearest me alwayes A. True and therfore Christ was hard in praying for the world for he only prayed for the unity of the faithful as a means tending to cause the world to believe as his suffering for all is of the same nature whether men believe it or not And thus the sufferings of Christ and his prayer for all is of equal extention as a meanes tending to cause them to believe and if they do not they are left without excuse Obj. But Christ saith John 10. 15. I say downe my life for my sheep A. True so doth not the hireling this is his meaning in so saying and not to exclude any person as such for whom he hath not laid dwone his life Ob. It is said Luke 1 68 Mat 1. he hath redeemed and shall save his people A. In the old Testament Israel were in special caled his people and so these places meane the one being spoken by Zachary the other to Joseph both Isralites for the comfort of that people in speciall in the time while that dispensation lasted yet not so then as to exclude others as appears Luk 2. 30. 31. 32. John 11. 50. 51. 52. Act 13. 46 47. Isa. 49. 16. therfore this hinders not but that Christ suffered for the sins of all Obj. It is said Isa. 53. 12. he bare the sins of many Therefore not of all A It doth not follow seeing many is opposed to a few not to all as appeares in Rom 5. 19. by one mans disobedience many were made sinners that is all and also in Dan. 12. 2. Obj. It is said Ephe. 5. 25. Christ loved the Church and gave himself for it therefore not for all A. It doth not follow seeing Paul saith 1 Tim. 2. 6. he gave himself a ransom for al Therfore by saying he gave himself for it it is not to exclud any for that were to make the Scripture to contradict it selfe but only to shew that the Church did partake of such love from Christ as a pattern to husbands towards their wives And it may aswell be concluded because Paul said Christ loved me and gave himselfe for me that he gave himselfe for no other as because he loved the Church and gave himself for it Therfore not for all Ob. But Christ saith Iohn 15. 13. greater love then this hath no man when any man b●stoweth his life for his friends Therefore Christ suffered nor for the sinnes of all A. It doth not follow for such love is found in Christ to his enemies Rom. 5. 10. Col. 1. 21. 22 Therefore there is in Christ found greater love then any that is among men Obi. But it is said in Rev. 5. 9. 14. 3. 4 some were redeemed from the Earth from among men Therefore he suffered not for the sins of all A. We must destinguish redemption in respect of price and in respect of the end and application Now the price is paid for all Heb. 2. 9. 1 Tim. 2 6. And the end is that persons should no longer live to themselves as formerly they with others the men of this world have done but unto him that hath paid the price for them 2 Cor. 5. 15. and this only they performe that have faith given unto them whereby they doe apply the benefit of this price in which latter respect they only are said to be redeemed yet in respect of price Christ suffered for the sinnes of all Obi But Christ doth not call all for he saith Mat 9. 13 I am not come to call the righteous but sinners to Repentance Therfore he suffered not for the sins of all A God admonisheth all men every where to repent Acts 17 30 and therfore Christ in saying I am not come to call the righteous doth not intend that any were righteous and thereby such as were excluded from his call but only this that so farre as any thought themselves more righteous then others so farre forth they doe necessarily exclude themselves from the call of Christ more then others Obi. But it seemes by Rom. 5 9 10 that all that Christ died for shall be saved A. Not so neither doth Paul so intend but only that we have more manifest grounded reason to believe salvation by him now he hath suffered for us then we had before Obi. But Paul saith Rom. 8. 32. he that spared not his own Son but gave him up for us all how shall he not with him freely give all things also But God doth not give all things freely unto all universally therefore he suffered not for all A. Al things are so inseperably united unto Christ that unto whomsoever Christ is offered all things are offered with him and whosoever receiveth Christ receiveth all things with him Iohn 13. 20. Mat 10 40 Luke 10 16 1 Tim 4 8. Mat. 6. 3. and whosoever denyeth or refuseth Christ refuseth all things with him Lu. 12. 8. 9. 9 26 2 Tim. 12. Mat. 10. 33. Mar. 8. 38. 2 Thes. 2. 10. 12 and to whomsoever God gives faith and so Christ by which only Christ properly becomes ours Ephe. 3. 17. which God only gives to his elect Tit. 1. 1. Ro. 8. 28. 29 30. to them he gives with that faith and that Christ freely all things 1 Cor. 3. 21. but this hinders not but that he suffered for all though faith and Christ by faith be not given to all and this appeares in that some for whom he is given do deny him 2. Pet. 2. 1. Mat. 21. 42. John 1. 11. Obj. But in Heb. 9. 13 14 it is said that the blood of Christ doth more abundantly purge the conscience then the blood of Buls and Goates did purifie the flesh but the blood of Buls and Goates and the ashes of an Heifer sprinkling the uncleane sanctified to the purifiing of the flesh and all have not their consciences purged by the blood of Christ Therefore he suffered not for all A. True it is that the blood of Christ is of a purging nature for all but some tread it under their feet and count it common or unholy Heb. 10. 29. and do not by faith as with a bunch of hysop sprinkle it upon the conscience and no marvell though they remain unclean still And so if the beasts were slain yet unlesse the blood
