Christ's Death are easily solved neither is it needful to recur to the Ministry of Angels and those other Miraculous Means which they say God makes use of to manifest the Doctrine and History of Christ's Passion unto such who living in those places of the World where the outward Preaching of the Gospel is unknown have well improved the first and common Grace For hence it well follows that as some of the Old Philosophers might have been saved so also may some now who by Providence are cast into those remote Parts of the World where the Knowledge of the History is wanting be made Partakers of the Divine Mystery if they Receive and Resist not that Grace A Manifestation whereof is given to every Man to profit withal This certain Doctrine then being received to wit That there is an Evangelical and Saving Light and Grace in all the Universality of the Love and Mercy of God towards Mankind both in the Death of his Beloved Son the Lord Jesus Christ and in the Manifestation of the Light in the Heart is established and confirmed against all the Objections of such as deny it Therefore Christ hath tasted Death for every Man not only for all kinds of Men as some vainly talk but for every one of all kinds The Benefit of whose Offering is not only extended to such who have the distinct outward Knowledge of his Death and Sufferings as the same is declared in the Scriptures but even unto those who are necessarily excluded from the Benefit of this Knowledge by some inevitable Accident Which Knowledge we willingly confess to be very Profitable and Comfortable but not absolutely Needful unto such from whom God himself hath with-held it yet they may be made Partakers of the Mystery of his Death tho' Ignorant of the History if they suffer his Seed and Light Inlightning their Hearts to take place in which Light Communion with the Father and Son is enjoyed so as of Wicked Men to become Holy and Lovers of that Power by whose inward and secret Touches they feel themselves turned from the Evil to the Good and learn to do to others as they would be done by in which Christ himself affirms all to be included As they have then Falsly and Erroneously Taught who have denied Christ to have Died for all Men so neither have they sufficiently Taught the Truth who affirming him to have Died for all have added the absolute necessity of the outward Knowledge thereof in order to the obtaining its saving Effect Among whom the Remonstrants of Holland have been chiefly wanting and many other assertors of Universal Redemption in that they have not placed the Extent of his Salvation in that Divine and Evangelical Principle of Light and Life wherewith Christ hath Enlightned every Man that comes into the World which is Excellently and Evidently held forth in these Scriptures Genesis 6. 3. Deuteronomy 30. 14. John 1. 7 8 9. Romans 10. 8. Titus 2. 11. The Seventh Proposition Concerning Justification As many as resist not this Light but receive the same in them is produced a holy pure and spiritual Birth bringing forth Holiness Righteousness Purity and all those other blessed Fruits which are acceptable to God by which holy Birth to wit Jesus Christ formed within us and working his Works in us as we are Sanctified so are we Justified in the sight of God according to the Apostle's Words But ye are Washed but ye are Sanctified but ye are Justified in the Name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God Therefore it is not by our Works wrought in our Will nor yet by Good Works considered as of themselves but by Christ who is both the Gift and the Giver and the Cause producing the Effects in us who as he hath reconciled us while we were Enemies doth also in his Wisdom save us and Justifie us after this manner as saith the same Apostle elsewhere According to his Mercy he hath saved us by the washing of Regeneration and the renewing of the Holy Ghost The Eighth Proposition Concerning Perfection In whom this Holy and Pure Birth is fully brought forth the Body of Death and Sin comes to be crucified and removed and their Hearts united and subjected unto the Truth so as not to obey any Suggestion or Temptation of the Evil One but to be free from actual Sinning and transgressing of the Law of God and in that respect Perfect Yet doth this Perfection still admit of a Growth there remaineth a Possibility of Sinning where the Mind doth not most diligently and watchfully attend unto the Lord. The Ninth Proposition Concerning Perseverance and the possibility of falling from Grace Although this Gift and inward Grace of God be sufficient to work out Salvation yet in those in whom it is resisted it both may and doth become their Condemnation Moreover in whom it hath wrought in part to Purifie and Sanctifie them in order to their further Perfection by disobedience such may fall from it and turn it to Wantonness making Shipwrack of Faith and after having tasted of the Heavenly Gift and been made Partakers of the Holy Ghost again fall away Yet such an increase and stability in the Truth may in this Life be attained from which there cannot be a total Apostacy The Tenth Proposition Concerning the Ministry As by this Gift or Light of God all true Knowledge in things Spiritual is received and revealed so by the same as it is manifested and received in the Heart by the strength and power thereof every true Minister of the Gospel is ordained prepared and supplied in the Work of the Ministry And by the leading moving and drawing hereof ought every Evangelist and Christian Pastor to be lead and ordered in his Labour and Work of the Gospel both as to the place where as to the Persons to whom and as to the Times when he is to Minister Moreover who have this Authority may and ought to Preach the Gospel tho' without Humane Commission or Literature as on the other hand who want the Authority of this Divine Gift however Learned or Authorized by the Commissions of Men and Churches are to be esteemed but as Deceivers and not True Ministers of the Gospel Also who have received this holy and unspotted Gift as they have freely received so are they freely to give without Hire or Bargaining far less to use it as a Trade to get Money by it Yet if God hath called any from their Imployments or Trades by which they acquire their Livelihood it may be lawful for such according to the Liberty which they feel given them in the Lord to receive such Temporals to wit what may be needful to them for Meat and Cloathing as are freely given them by those to whom they have communicated Spirituals The Eleventh Proposition Concerning Worship All true and acceptable Worship to God is offered in the Inward and Immediate Moving and drawing of his own Spirit which is neither
