A76313	A door of salvation opened unto all men: or a short treatise, discovering that all man-kinde as they are considered under the fall of Adam, have an equal and a like respect with almighty God, and that by Jesus Christ he hath prepared eternal salvation for all, and afforded unto all, means sufficient to bring them thereunto. In which also, sundry objections, grounds of reason, and texts of scripture, for the contrary opinion are alleadged and answered. / By R.B.	R.

to_o write_v his_o law_n in_o the_o heart_n of_o the_o israelite_n in_o the_o late_a day_n rather_o than_o in_o the_o former_a be_v because_o that_o in_o the_o late_a day_n by_o the_o ministry_n of_o

although_o it_o do_v most_o powerful_o tend_v to_o imprint_v his_o love_n and_o fear_v in_o they_o and_o to_o persuade_v they_o to_o deny_v all_o ungodliness_n and_o worldly_a lust_n and_o to_o

if_o it_o have_v than_o they_o shall_v all_o of_o they_o be_v convert_v thereby_o therefore_o it_o can_v from_o hence_o be_v right_o infer_v from_o this_o text_n that_o god_n have_v promise_v effectual_o to_o beget_v the_o love_n and_o fear_n of_o himself_o in_o any_o one_o man_n more_o than_o another_o 2._o it_o be_v also_o to_o be_v consider_v that_o when_o god_n in_o the_o scripture_n say_v that_o he_o will_v do_v this_o or_o that_o it_o do_v not_o always_o imply_v a_o absolute_a and_o peremptory_a resolution_n in_o he_o necessary_o to_o enforce_v and_o bring_v the_o same_o to_o

which_o he_o say_v he_o will_v do_v in_o the_o late_a respect_n it_o be_v that_o he_o speak_v when_o he_o say_v i_o will_v harden_v pharaoh_n heart_n because_o that_o consider_v he_o to_o be_v a_o proud_a covetous_a tyrant_n he_o know_v that_o he_o will_v take_v occasion_n of_o obstinacy_n against_o he_o by_o reason_n of_o his_o mercy_n towards_o the_o oppress_a israelite_n notwithstanding_o all_o his_o sign_n and_o wonder_n show_v unto_o he_o powerful_o tend_v to_o humble_v he_o to_o the_o very_a earth_n before_o he_o and_o refuse_v to_o let_v they_o depart_v out_o of_o his_o land_n as_o he_o be_v command_v and_o in_o the_o former_a respect_n be_v the_o word_n of_o the_o apostle_n 1_o tim_n 2.4_o to_o be_v understand_v when_o he_o say_v that_o god_n will_v have_v all_o man_n to_o be_v save_v and_o so_o likewise_o be_v the_o word_n of_o christ_n in_o john_n 12.32_o to_o be_v take_v where_o he_o say_v and_o i_o if_o i_o be_v lift_v up_o from_o the_o earth_n i_o will_v draw_v all_o man_n after_o i_o because_o that_o by_o his_o death_n and_o resurrection_n he_o shall_v further_o manifest_v himself_o to_o all_o man_n to_o be_v the_o saviour_n of_o the_o world_n for_o as_o when_o he_o afford_v unto_o man_n the_o mean_n of_o repentance_n he_o be_v say_v thereby_o to_o purge_v they_o from_o their_o filthiness_n though_o that_o they_o be_v not_o actual_o purge_v thereby_o as_o be_v show_v before_o in_o ezek._n 24.13_o so_o according_a to_o these_o scripture_n when_o he_o dispense_v mean_n extraordinary_a tend_v to_o lead_v man_n to_o conversion_n and_o salvation_n then_o more_o especial_o it_o be_v say_v that_o he_o will_v put_v his_o law_n into_o their_o heart_n will_v draw_v they_o to_o christ_n and_o will_v have_v they_o to_o be_v save_v three_o it_o be_v to_o be_v consider_v that_o like_v as_o god_n faith_n that_o he_o will_v write_v his_o law_n in_o man_n heart_n circumcise_v their_o heart_n make_v they_o new_a heart_n and_o new_a spirit_n jer._n 31.33_o

thereof_o to_o be_v expound_v against_o the_o precept_n and_o if_o consider_v together_o they_o be_v to_o be_v understand_v as_o if_o god_n shall_v say_v i_o will_v afford_v mean_n unto_o you_o for_o these_o end_n do_v you_o improve_v they_o thereunto_o if_o it_o be_v say_v that_o these_o precept_n serve_v only_o to_o express_v unto_o man_n that_o which_o god_n promise_v to_o work_v in_o they_o it_o be_v answer_v first_o that_o this_o be_v a_o very_a foreign_a exposition_n and_o will_v neither_o be_v warrant_v by_o scripture_n or_o sound_a reason_n god_n be_v never_o know_v to_o require_v of_o man_n that_o which_o he_o himself_o promise_v to_o do_v for_o they_o and_o most_o irrational_a to_o conceive_v that_o he_o shall_v not_o rather_o express_v his_o goodness_n towards_o man_n in_o require_v they_o to_o wait_v upon_o he_o for_o the_o thing_n that_o he_o purpose_v to_o bestow_v upon_o they_o then_o to_o give_v they_o precept_n for_o the_o do_v thereof_o thereby_o to_o divert_v their_o hope_n and_o expectation_n as_o from_o the_o promise_n and_o to_o set_v they_o on_o work_n to_o beat_v the_o air_n or_o to_o make_v brick_n without_o straw_n but_o second_o see_v it_o be_v manifest_a that_o these_o precept_n be_v unto_o all_o man_n and_o as_o manifest_v that_o all_o man_n have_v not_o the_o thing_n enjoin_v therein_o effect_v in_o they_o it_o can_v in_o any_o wise_a be_v suppose_v that_o the_o intent_n of_o god_n in_o they_o shall_v be_v to_o express_v what_o he_o himself_o will_v work_v in_o man_n but_o to_o inform_v we_o that_o his_o promise_n to_o put_v his_o law_n in_o man_n mind_n to_o write_v they_o in_o their_o heart_n to_o make_v they_o new_a heart_n etc._n etc._n consist_v only_o in_o afford_v unto_o they_o mean_v serve_v for_o those_o end_n which_o they_o themselves_o be_v enjoin_v to_o improve_v for_o the_o effect_n thereof_o 4._o last_o it_o be_v to_o be_v observe_v that_o those_o very_a person_n the_o israelite_n to_o who_o this_o promise_n

themselves_o the_o sore_a punishment_n judgement_n and_o fiery_a indignation_n which_o possible_o can_v not_o be_v if_o that_o god_n in_o this_o covenant_n have_v absolute_o promise_v or_o undertake_v to_o put_v his_o law_n in_o their_o heart_n and_o write_v they_o in_o their_o mind_n etc._n etc._n as_o it_o be_v suppose_v or_o any_o otherwise_o then_o by_o administer_a unto_o they_o mean_n for_o

this_o covenant_n it_o shall_v be_v rehearse_v verbatim_o heb._n 10.16_o this_o be_v the_o covenant_n that_o i_o will_v make_v with_o they_o after_o those_o day_n say_v the_o lord_n i_o will_v put_v
