A93680	Gods ordinance, the saints priviledge. Discovered and proved in two treatises. The first, the saints interest by Christ in all the priviledges of grace: wherein their right to the use of baptisme, and the Lords supper, even now during the reign of Antichrist, is cleared; and the objections of those that oppose the same, are answered. The second, the peculiar interest of the elect in Christ, and his saving grace: wherein it is proved that Christ hath not presented to his fathers justice a satisfaction for the sinnes of all men; but onely for the sinnes of those that doe, or shall believe in him; which are his elect onely: and the objections of those that maintaine the contrary, are also answered. / Both written by John Spilsberie. And the last transcribed, and somewhat enlarged, by Benjamin Coxe. Licensed, entred, and printed according to order.	J. S. (John Spilsbery); Cox, Benjamin, fl. 1646.	1646 (1646)	Wing S4975; Thomason E335_17; ESTC R200803	75,307	89

proved * In pag. 40. that all wicked persons shall be condemned and punished for all their wickednesse whatsoever so I desire our adversaries to behold this truth againe in that glasse which is held forth unto them in Revel 21.8 For that place doth not onely shew who shall be punished with eternall torment but also notes the evills for which they shall be so punished Thus we have found this place also though objected against us by some of our adversaries with much confidence yet indeed to prove nothing at all of that which our adversaries have endeavoured to prove against us by it Another objection is made against us from 1 Cor. 15.1.3 by which place our adversaries would prove that Christ dyed for the sins of all men 10. Object From 1 Cor. 15 1.3 answered and consequently that he presented to his Fathers justice a satisfaction for the sinnes of all men True it is that Christ dyed to this end that whosoever believeth in him the same should receive remission of sinnes Joh. 3.6 Acts 10.43 And Christ intended that his death should be of perfect sufficiency as indeed it is for the effecting of this Yet still it is true that he neither did in his death nor doth in his intercession present unto his Fathers justice a satisfaction for the sins of any save onely of those that doe or shall believe in him which are his Elect onely But let us consider the place objected The words from which the objection is made are these I declare unto you the Gospel which I preached unto you For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received how that Christ dyed for our sins according to the Scriptures The Apostles scope here is to shew the certainty of Christs resurrection not onely in it selfe but also to the faith of the believing Corinthians and consequently how foolish they should be if they should deny the resurrection of the bodies of the Saints wherein by necessary and immediate consequence they would be found to deny Christs resurrection To this end he represents unto them how the Gospel which he at the first preached unto them and they through grace received did contain in it as a maine and fundamentall part thereof the doctrine of Christs resurrection This I say is the Apostles scope in this place And thus representing to them to the end afore-mentioned the Gospel which he first preached to them he brancheth the doctrine thereof into three Articles 1. The doctrine concerning Christs death 2. Concerning his buriall 3. Concerning his resurrection And here he tyes not himselfe to the same forme of words which he at first used but onely represents unto them the substance and heads of that doctrine which he first preached unto them The doctrine of Christs death he thus sets forth That Christ dyed for our sins according to the Scriptures By the Scriptures he meanes the Scriptures of the old Testament which Scriptures doe not hold forth Christ presenting to his Fathers justice a satisfaction for the sins of all men but the contrary altogether The types of Christ in and under the Law held him forth as a Priest and a Redeemer for his Israel and of his Israel onely and the rest of the Nations were looked upon as aliens from the Common-wealth of Israel and strangers from the Covenants c. Ephes 2.12 Insomuch that the Apostles themselves for a while not yet knowing the largenesse of the extent of Gods Israel knew not that Christ should be found to be a redeemer of any of those Gentiles which were not joyned unto Israel as Proselytes This appeares in Acts 10. and 11. see also Ephes 3.3.5.6 And the testimony of the Prophets concerning Christ you may see summed up in Acts 10.43 This then was the Gospel which the Apostles and consequently Paul who preached the same Gospel that the rest of the Apostles did did every where preach viz. That Christ according to the Scriptures did dye for the taking and putting away of all the sinnes of all those that did or should believe in him compare Acts 10.43 with Acts 15.7 This doctrine Paul in this his briefe repetition directly applyes not onely to himselfe but also to the Corinthians to whom he wrote because he looked upon them as believers 1 Cor. 1.2 and 6.11 And thus it appeares that this Scripture also makes nothing for our adversaries in this controversie or question Whereas some of our adversaries doe endeavour to trouble both themselves and us with an objection from 1 Cor. 15.22 we will next consider that place 11. Object From 1 Cor. 15. 22. answered The words of the Apostle there are these As in Adam all dye even so in Christ shall all be made alive or as some translate As by Adam all dye even so by Christ shall all be made alive Touching which place mind these things 1. The Apostle doth not there speake of something already past but onely of something to come If he had there spoken of Christs presenting in his death a satisfaction to his Fathers justice for the sins of all men he would have said As in Adam all have dyed even so in Christ all have been made alive 2. The Apostle there speakes of the resurrection of the body unto life even to the life of glory of that which Christ calls The resurrection in Luk. 20.35 36. Of the same which he speakes of afterward in this Chapter vers 42 43 44. Neither doth he in this Chapter speake immediately and directly of any other resurrection 3. By all therefore we must here understand onely all those that are Christs vers 23. of whom Christ is the first fruits vers 20. Upon all these as well as upon the rest of mankinde death entred by Adam and in Adam and to all these though not to the rest of mankind there shall be a glorious resurrection of the body by Christ and in Christ If this were not true then Christ were not risen and so our faith were vaine and we yet in our sinnes These things being thus cleare I doe not feare any objection from this place There seemes unto some to be somewhat against us in 2 Cor. 5.14 15. 12. Object From 2 Cor. 5. 14 15. answered Therefore that place also shall now be diligently weighed The words are these The love of Christ constraineth us because we thus judge that if one dyed for all then were all dead And that be dyed for all that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves but unto him which dyed for them and rose againe Let the coherence and scope of this text be minded The Apostle had before expressed his labouring to keepe a good conscience vers 9. and 11. And in that expression concerning himselfe he seemed to joyne himselfe with others that faithfully assisted him in the preaching of the Gospel Here he declares the strong motive that still put him on upon that holy labouring viz. The love of Christ
