A84741	Truths vindication of election, and reprobation Wherein is shewed, Christ the cause of election; sin the cause of reprobation. The iustice of God is likewise cleared from that which is layd upon him by many; (namely) that some shall one day be damned for unbelief, and yet he never gave a Christ for them to beleeve in. Most of the strongest objections that scriptures or reason can make, answered. By William Fouler minister of the gospel at Ingworth in Norffolk.	Fowler, William, minister of Ingworth, Norfolk.	1652 (1652)	Wing F1639; Thomason E1376_4; ESTC R209255	16,436	44

of themselves with mankind nor Thieves nor Drunkards nor Revilers nor Extortioners shall inherit the Kingdom of God compared with Eph. 5. v. 5 6. Let no man deceive you with vain words for because of these things commeth the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience From these you see that condemnation is inflicted for these as well as unbelief Ans How is it possible that men should be Teachers in Israel and know not these things I grant the wrath of God nay condemnation commeth on those that commit those things but these are the works of Unbelievers I say unbelief is the cause that such sins are committed for which things sake commeth the wrath of God on the children of disobedience that is unbelief where the soul is an unbeliever there such sins are committed But where the soul is united to Christ through the Spirit that soul is a true believer that soul is born of God that soul abideth in God See 1 John 3. 9. he that is born of God sinneth not that is doth not wittingly and wilfully rush on sin or thus that which is born of God doth not nor cannot sin v. 6. but the unregenerate part is warring against the Spirit so in many things we offend all so by this you see who they are and for what men are damned namely for unbelief see Joh. 3. 18 19. This is the condemnation that light is come into the world but men love darkness rather than light because their deeds are evill compared with the 36. vers He that believeth on the Son hath life he that believeth not the Son shall not see life but the wrath of God abideth on him likewise In the 8. ch of John ver 24. saith Christ to the Jews if ye believe not that I am he ye shall die in your sins And that is full for this purpose Mark 16. 16. He that believeth not shall be damned And this must needs be the sin against the Holy Ghost spoken of Matth. 12. 31 32. I mean finall and totall unbelief he that never believeth Indeed I know there hath been abundance spoken and written about the definition of this sinne against the Holy Ghost what it should be some say this some that and most say it is to sin against knowledge which cannot be for then who would be saved for the Lord knoweth that both Ministers and People have sinned against knowledge that hath been acted by both which the conscience hath been perswaded ought not to be done But thousands can now speak experimentally that there is remission of sinnes yea can behold a reconciled God through Jesus Christ for what hath been acted by them wilfully But those that persist in unbelief and despise the Gospell shall find no mercie these are said Heb. 16. 29. to do despite to the Spirit of Grace And thus much to prove unbelief the condemning sinne much more of this nature might be said but I forbear and proceed to the fourth Reason Indeed some of these Objections should have been placed before Fourthly Gospell Ministers must needs preach Christ dyed for all First because it sets forth the great love of God to poor sinners without respect of persons Rom. 2. 11. Secondly thereby the creature is left without excuse having a Christ to beleeve in that they might bee saved Joh. 3. 17. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world but that the world through him might be saved compared with Joh. 1. 9. he is that is Christ the true light that lighteth every man that commeth into the world Thirdly Because this being a truth that Christ dyed for all doth clear the Eternall Father condemnation being of mans self Hosea 13. 9. O Israel thou hast destroyed thy self and our blessed Saviour saith to the Jewes O Ierusalem Ierusalem which killest c. how often would I have gathered thy children together as a hen doth gather her brood under her wings and yee would not Luk. 13. 34. And how is condemnation of mans self but for refusing of their own mercy Jonah 2. 8. vers And how doth the soul refuse its own mercy but by slighting of Jesus Christ but by spurning against the Gospell Prov. 1. 20 21 22 23 24 25. And truely this is the condemnation of most in the world to despise the Gospel to refuse Christ in the Gospel loving pleasure and sinne more than the wages of righteousness counting the waies of God even strange waies according to that saying by the Prophet Hosea 8. 12. The sum of all is this that those that one day perish as many shall shall not perish because Christ dyed not for them but because they have refused despised and stood in opposition against him Salvation of God and condemnation of mans self FINIS
