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 Try all things hold fast that which is good God is not willing that any should perish but come to life and be saved For I have no pleasure in the death of him that dieth saith the Lord God Wherefore turn your selves and live ye London Printed for the Author and are to be sold by Thomas Mathews at the Cock in Pauls Church-yard 1652. The Epistle to the Reader Courteous Reader THat which causeth me to bring forth these few lines to publique view is these Reasons First to clear the gracious God so far as he hath enabled me of Heaven and Earth from that which poor dark creature lay upon him which is that he will as most say condemn some one day for not believing in his Son Christ and yet never gave a Christ for them to believe in but without reference to sin or transgression hath left most of the sons and daughters of men from all eternity in a perishing condition Secondly I have published this because poor sinners may see there is mercy yet for them in Gospel-declarations what the Gospel speaks it is truth there being in God no contrary desire or end Thirdly that those soules which find experimentally these truths of God within them they might advance the glory of God and the riches of his Grace in Jesus Christ and walk up unto him with holy lives and conversations Fourthly to satisfie severall Christian friends which are importunate that others may feed of the same Bunches of Grapes as they do that they may long after that spiritual Canaan which bears sweet fruits giving forth its fruit in due season My desire is that all to whom this small peece shall come they would with a single eye weigh what is layd down for Grounds and how proved I know it will be under the censure of some but it matters not it is not he who man approves but whom God approveth the spirituall will be able to judge of it And thus Reader I commit thee to the great God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ desiring this may be profitable for the comfort of thy soul Resting Thine in every Office of the Gospel WILLIAM FOWLER Truths Vindication OF Election and Reprobation GOd the Father hath been pleased to make forth himself a God of great love to Mankind having bowels of compassion to poor sinners tenders of Mercy towards them when the creature durst not look the Father in the face having sinned against him I mean when we were in Adam he being a publique man that is the whole Creation being in him his sin became ours Rom. 5. 18. and we became noxious before the Father and in a naked condition sewing Fig-leaves together to cover us In this estate did the Fathers great love appear by sending of his Son Jesus Christ to Redeem these poor fallen ones Iohn 3. 16. God so loved the World that he gave his onely begotten Sonne that whosoever beleeveth should not perish but have everlasting life Quest Did Christ redeem all those that were last in Adam Answ Yea Rom. 5 18 So likewise then as by the sin of one condemnation Thus Mr. Tindales translation reads it came on all men even so by the Justifying of one cometh the righteousness that bringeth life upon all men That is Christ being Justified and Righteous did undergo for the lump of Mankind bearing that was due unto man in his own body Isa 53. 4. He hath borne our griefs And upon this accompt he brought life upon all that is by his sufferings did satisfie divine Justice a Isa 53. 11. for the sin that Adam brought upon us whereby life came in I say by his death came life as many as dyed in the first Adam are made alive in the last Adam 1 Cor. 5. 22. 2 Cor. 5. 14 15. Quest But it is commonly sayd that it were just with God to take and cast into hell so soon as they are born into the World Answ I say that punishment which was due unto us by the sin of the first Adam is taken away by the death of the second Adam Heb. 9. 15. That by the meanes of death for the redemption of the Transgressions that were under the first Testament compared 2 Pet. 1. 9. Now if any say damnation in hell shall be given for Adams sin I demand where that Scripture is to be found Quest But is it not said by David that he was shapen in iniquity and in sin his mother conceived him Ps 51. 5 And we are by nature the children of wrath Eph. 2. 3. And Job querieth Job 14. 4. Who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean therfore sure there is original sin Answ David I suppose speaks of the sin of his mother he speaketh not of damnation neither doth Paul nor Iob. But the blessed Apostle Paul saith Ephes 2. 23. They were by nature the children of wrath that was when they walked according to the course of the world when they walked acording to the Prince of the air when their conversation was after the flesh fulfilling the desires of the flesh and mind In this estate he all that are such actors are the children of wrath now untill the creature cometh to maturity they cannot walk according to the course of the World or the Prince of the air these cannot fulfill the lusts of the flesh and mind So that you see this maketh not for damnation as being simply born into the World neither doth that blessed man Job affirm any such thing I will not deny but that we by nature are unclean and stand in opposition against God but there is of God given forth to the creature through Christ to change nature and to bring the soul home to himself as I shall shew afterwards By this I hope you see that none shall perish for Adams sin take some ground from Scripture Ezek. 18. 4. 20. nay most of the Chapter is to this purhose Object But God saith in the 20 Exod. 5. That he will visit the sins of the father upon the children unto the third and fourth generation Ans I grant it but see the same Text telleth you who they are they are the haters of God that is if the father and the son are both haters of God both dye for it but he vvill shew mercy on thousands that love him the 18 of Ezek. doth clear this Quest But if this be so then all children that die in their infancy are saved Answ It may well be so concluded upon for I do not
