A76313	A door of salvation opened unto all men: or a short treatise, discovering that all man-kinde as they are considered under the fall of Adam, have an equal and a like respect with almighty God, and that by Jesus Christ he hath prepared eternal salvation for all, and afforded unto all, means sufficient to bring them thereunto. In which also, sundry objections, grounds of reason, and texts of scripture, for the contrary opinion are alleadged and answered. / By R.B.	R.

that_o the_o second_o death_n rev._n 2.11_o or_o condemnation_n inflict_v by_o christ_n at_o the_o last_o day_n be_v none_o other_o than_o the_o penalty_n of_o the_o breach_n of_o the_o second_o
