A42403 Mysteries unvailed wherein the doctrine of redemption by Jesus Christ, flowing from the glorious grace and everlasting love of God, the very fountain of life and salvation unto lost sinners, is handled : the most usuall Scriptures explained and reasons answered, which are urged for the universality of the death of Christ for all persons : vvherein the unsoundness of this opinion, together with divers other conclusions as depending upon it, are discovered and the truth unvailed / by Robert Garner.

person_n in_o the_o world_n but_o sometime_o it_o be_v to_o be_v understand_v with_o a_o limitation_n according_a to_o the_o matter_n speak_v of_o in_o each_o scripture_n i_o will_v give_v a_o few_o

chap_v 11._o verse_n 12._o so_o also_o heb._n 8.11_o all_o shall_v know_v i_o from_o the_o least_o to_o the_o great_a the_o judicious_a reader_n will_v easy_o see_v that_o although_o the_o word_n all_o or_o every_z be_v express_v very_o general_o in_o these_o scripture_n yet_o it_o be_v to_o be_v understand_v with_o a_o limitation_n as_o in_o many_o other_o scripture_n also_o according_a to_o the_o matter_n which_o each_o scripture_n speak_v of_o have_v promise_v this_o caution_n i_o will_v now_o close_o with_o the_o word_n themselves_o and_o before_o i_o declare_v what_o i_o conceive_v to_o be_v the_o meaning_n of_o they_o reason_n the_o clear_n of_o the_o word_n by_o some_o reason_n i_o will_v propound_v some_o reason_n show_v why_o we_o can_v understand_v they_o according_a to_o their_o sense_n first_o i_o do_v not_o read_v any_o where_o in_o scripture_n that_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n be_v call_v a_o taste_n of_o death_n but_o suffering_n bruising_n wound_n oppressing_n travelling_n of_o his_o soul_n and_o the_o like_a second_o if_o we_o take_v the_o word_n taste_v in_o this_o place_n for_o suffer_v then_o as_o i_o conceive_v there_o will_v be_v a_o needless_a repetition_n and_o much_o harshness_n in_o the_o word_n for_o than_o they_o will_v run_v thus_o to_o wit_n we_o see_v jesus_n through_o the_o suffering_n of_o death_n crown_v with_o glory_n and_o honour_n that_o he_o by_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n shall_v suffer_v death_n mind_n now_o he_o suffer_v death_n that_o he_o shall_v suffer_v death_n will_v not_o here_o be_v a_o needless_a repetition_n and_o much_o harshness_n three_o if_o we_o take_v the_o word_n taste_v in_o this_o place_n for_o suffer_v of_o death_n then_o as_o i_o conceive_v it_o will_v follow_v that_o christ_n undergo_v a_o second_o suffer_v of_o death_n to_o wit_n a_o suffering_n of_o death_n after_o he_o be_v crown_v with_o glory_n and_o honour_n through_o that_o one_o and_o bitter_a suffering_n of_o death_n upon_o the_o cross_n for_o the_o word_n run_v thus_o we_o see_v he_o through_o the_o suffering_n of_o death_n crown_v with_o glory_n and_o honour_n that_o he_o shall_v taste_v death_n if_o therefore_o by_o the_o taste_n of_o death_n in_o this_o place_n we_o understand_v his_o suffering_n of_o death_n than_o it_o follow_v that_o he_o suffer_v death_n after_o he_o be_v crown_v with_o glory_n and_o honour_n and_o this_o be_v so_o assure_v and_o false_a that_o every_o one_o will_v reject_v it_o four_o to_o come_v now_o to_o the_o true_a and_o natural_a meaning_n of_o these_o word_n i_o conceive_v by_o his_o taste_a death_n we_o be_v not_o to_o understand_v his_o suffering_n of_o death_n but_o a_o effect_n or_o fruit_n of_o his_o suffering_n of_o death_n and_o be_v crown_v with_o glory_n and_o then_o we_o be_v to_o understand_v the_o word_n taste_v death_n to_o be_v a_o sweeten_v or_o relish_v of_o death_n a_o make_v of_o death_n tasteful_a savoury_a sweet_a useful_a and_o gainful_a he_o taste_v death_n that_o be_v he_o make_v it_o tasteful_a sweet_a and_o savoury_a and_o so_o i_o say_v it_o be_v a_o effect_n of_o his_o suffering_n of_o death_n and_o be_v crown_v with_o glory_n that_o be_v he_o through_o his_o suffering_n of_o death_n be_v crown_v with_o glory_n have_v according_a to_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n make_v death_n tasteful_a reader_n although_o the_o word_n all_o in_o some_o scripture_n upon_o some_o occasion_n be_v to_o 〈◊〉_d take_v 〈◊〉_d all_o person_n fro●_n first_o last_v y●●_n in_o this_o 〈◊〉_d scripture●_n it_o be_v to_o b●_n understand_v wit●_n a_o

son_n speak_v of_o in_o the_o follow_a verse_n even_o those_o who_o he_o call_v brethren_n and_o child_n to_o christ_n in_o the_o 12_o 13_o and_z 14_o verses_z for_o or_o unto_o all_o these_o and_o every_o of_o these_o he_o by_o his_o suffering_n &_o glory_n have_v make_v death_n tasteful_a &_o savoury_a he_o have_v sweeten_v death_n and_o make_v it_o a_o entrance_n or_o passage_n unto_o glory_n for_o they_o all_o that_o as_o the_o captain_n of_o their_o salvation_n be_v make_v persect_n through_o suffering_n so_o every_o one_o of_o they_o shall_v be_v make_v perfect_a through_o suffering_n also_o this_o i_o conceive_v be_v the_o true_a and_o natural_a meaning_n of_o this_o scripture_n and_o i_o be_o sure_a it_o be_v agreeable_a to_o other_o scripture_n and_o therefore_o death_n unto_o every_o one_o of_o christ_n brethren_n or_o child_n be_v but_o a_o sleep_n a_o rest_n and_o a_o pass_v over_o as_o it_o be_v unto_o a_o more_o glorious_a condition_n which_o they_o shall_v enjoy_v with_o the_o lord_n jesus_n in_o the_o morning_n of_o the_o resurrection_n a_o three_o scripture_n propound_v by_o they_o to_o justify_v their_o opinion_n scripture_n the_o three_o scripture_n be_v that_o in_o the_o 1_o tim._n 2.6_o the_o word_n be_v these_o follow_v who_o give_v hi●●self_n aransome_a for_o all_o to_o be_v testify_v in_o due_a time_n in_o which_o word_n as_o i_o conceive_v be_v hold_v forth_o to_o we_o especial_o in_o four_o thing_n first_o that_o the_o man_n christ_n jesus_n give_v himself_o unto_o death_n for_o so_o we_o be_v to_o understand_v that_o expression_n he_o

20.28_o and_o mark_v 10.45_o the_o son_n of_o man_n come_v to_o give_v his_o life_n a_o ransom_n and_o this_o teach_v we_o the_o voluntary_a readiness_n of_o jesus_n christ_n in_o give_v himself_o

obtain_v eternal_a redemption_n this_o be_v the_o end_n and_o power_n of_o the_o shed_n of_o his_o blood_n and_o so_o he_o say_v also_o in_o the_o 15._o verse_n that_o by_o mean_n of_o death_n for_o the_o redemption_n of_o the_o transgression_n under_o the_o first_o testament_n that_o be_v this_o be_v the_o end_n and_o power_n of_o his_o death_n to_o ransom_n and_o redeem_v we_o from_o the_o transgression_n which_o the_o first_o testament_n can_v not_o redeem_v we_o from_o now_o if_o this_o be_v the_o end_n and_o power_n of_o his_o death_n to_o ransom_n redeem_v or_o save_v &_o if_o all_o

second_o reason_n be_v take_v from_o the_o consideration_n of_o the_o nature_n and_o force_n of_o the_o word_n for_o in_o this_o place_n it_o signify_v in_o this_o place_n interest_n or_o propriety_n and_o carry_v the_o force_n of_o a_o application_n in_o it_o he_o give_v himself_o a_o ransom_n for_o all_o that_o be_v he_o give_v himself_o to_o death_n for_o the_o redemption_n and_o salvation_n of_o all_o that_o be_v all_o shall_v be_v certain_o ransom_v redeem_v and_o save_v by_o the_o power_n of_o his_o death_n in_o matth._n 20.28_o christ_n say_v of_o himself_o the_o son_n of_o man_n come_v to_o give_v his_o life_n a_o ransom_n for_o many_o and_o chapter_n 26.28_o this_o be_v my_o blood_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n which_o be_v shed_v for_o many_o for_o the_o remission_n of_o sin_n and_o luke_n 22.20_o he_o say_v this_o cup_n be_v the_o new_a testament_n in_o my_o blood_n which_o be_v shed_v for_o you_o who_o will_v not_o acknowledge_v with_o i_o that_o the_o word_n for_o in_o these_o scripture_n signify_v interest_n and_o propriety_n and_o carry_v the_o force_n of_o a_o application_n and_o communication_n in_o it_o that_o be_v many_o shall_v certain_o and_o powerful_o

so_o in_o this_o place_n when_o he_o say_v he_o give_v himself_o a_o ransom_n for_o all_o it_o signify_v all_o shall_v be_v certain_o ransom_v redeem_v and_o save_v by_o the_o power_n of_o his_o death_n and_o therefore_o this_o can_v agree_v to_o all_o person_n the_o three_o reason_n be_v take_v from_o the_o mediation_n of_o christ_n those_o for_o who_o christ_n be_v the_o ransom_n he_o be_v for_o they_o the_o mediator_n also_o this_o be_v manifest_a from_o the_o connexion_n of_o these_o word_n with_o the_o former_a there_o be_v one_o mediator_n between_o god_n and_o man_n the_o man_n christ_n jesus_n who_o give_v himself_o a_o ransom_n for_o all_o whence_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o for_o whosoever_o christ_n be_v a_o ransom_n he_o be_v for_o they_o a_o mediator_n also_o and_o indeed_o his_o mediatorship_n depend_v yea_o inseparable_o depend_v upon_o his_o give_a himself_o to_o be_v a_o ransom_n as_o be_v manifest_a heb._n 9.15_o now_o the_o efficacy_n of_o his_o mediatorship_n be_v to_o apply_v unto_o the_o heart_n and_o mind_n of_o all_o those_o for_o who_o he_o shed_v his_o blood_n all_o the_o grace_n blessing_n and_o promise_n of_o the_o new_a covenant_n for_o of_o that_o he_o be_v the_o mediator_n he_o write_v his_o law_n in_o their_o heart_n call_v they_o to_o god_n make_v they_o his_o people_n give_v they_o remission_n of_o sin_n and_o the_o promise_n of_o a_o eternal_a inheritance_n heb_fw-mi 8.6.10.11.12_o and_o 9.14.15_o thus_o the_o mediatorship_n and_o ransom_n do_v agree_v in_o one_o and_o inseparable_o the_o depend_v on_o each_o other_o and_o therefore_o this_o can_v agree_v to_o all_o person_n four_o because_o the_o word_n all_o in_o the_o 4._o verse_n which_o have_v its_o dependence_n upon_o the_o 5._o and_o 6._o verse_n can_v be_v understand_v to_o be_v speak_v concern_v all_o persons●_n the_o word_n be_v these_o follow_v who_o will_v have_v all_o man_n to_o be_v save_v and_o to_o come_v to_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o truth_n these_o word_n be_v render_v absolute_o he_o will_v have_v all_o man_n to_o be_v save_v it_o be_v not_o say_v all_o man_n may_v or_o may_v be_v save_v but_o he_o will_v have_v all_o

whence_o i_o conclude_v that_o if_o by_o all_o man_n in_o this_o place_n we_o understand_v all_o person_n than_o it_o will_v follow_v that_o all_o person_n shall_v certain_o powerful_o and_o
