inferred in the same Chapter as sinne abounded by the Law there grace did much more abound ver 20. and the reason thereof is there given to be this that as sin had raigned unto death even over all men as appears ver 12. by the Law ver 20. even so largely might Grace reigne through righteousnesse by Jesus Christ our Lord ver 21. by his costly establishing the Gospell intended on Gods part for the benefit of all men And to say as the truth is the Apostles very frequently in their Epistles doe lay downe in plain words these and such like generall grounds of a common salvation wherefrom they do very often frame their following discourses though indeed this their generall ground-plot though being declared by them the Apostles agreeable to the Prophets and also our Saviour Christs own plain words hath been by many Godly and Learned men overlooked which oversight hath not only as it were buried the most ready the most sure and most comfortable foundation of faith and repentance which is that Christ dyed for all and hath thereby saved them from the curse of the Law and first death bringing all men to the knowledge of truth inabling all men so that in their good use thereof they might also of ape the danger of the second death all which is herein proved but also it hath bred and nursed up and doth nourish many variable noisome contentions even in the Christian world by men blasting as much as in them lies those plain words that Christ is the Saviour of all men 1 Tim. 4.10 that he dyed for all 2. Cor. 5.15 that he is the propitiation for the sins of no fewer than the sins of the whole world 1 John 2.2 But hereto I doe intreat you to take notice that whereas in Scripture is mention made of the Oldman Rom. 6.6 Eph. 4.22 Col. 3.9 and of the New man Eph. 4.24 Col. 3.10 that the common salvation is in no for hespefull either to the Old or New man nor indeed can be for the Old man is the body of sin Rom. 6.6 the old man is corrupt through deceiveable lusts Eph. 4.22 This corrupt qualification in man is devilish and from the Devill issueth naturaily into all men by Adams fall and is nourished by Sathans continuall operations thereto annexed and cannot nor is in any mannar capable to receive any benefit or be any waies bettered by the common salvation And on the other de the New man is renewed in knowledge after the Image of him that Created him Col. 3.10 and after God is crected in righteousnesse and true holinesse Eph. 4.24 And by its thus proceeding from God who is perfect perfection it no way needeth neither can it any waies be helped mended or made better by the common salvation or any other meanes Therefore we are to know that the common salvation is by grace in Christ established and by him perfected for all men whether any man doe beleeve it or not that by the help of the holy and good spirituall New man the Rationall man consisting by vertue of the Creation of the substances of soule and body might be assisted on Gods part against the continuall evill attempts and suggestions of the Sathanically deluding Old man for both the New man and the Old man do strive against each other in the person of the Rationall mean to obtaine his consent either to good by the New mans solicitation or to evill by the Old mans instigation From whence the Apostle exhorts not the spirituall new man that needeth no exhortation to good nor the diabolicall Old man that cannot possibly act any otherwise but to do evill but he perswades the Rationall man in whose person they both do strive to get the supremacy in his acceptation and affection to put off the Old man which is corrupt and to put on the New man which is after God created in righteousnesse Eph. 4.22 24. And from hence also the Apostle accounteth our yielding up our bodies a living sacrifice holy and acceptable unto God our reasonable or rationall service Rom. 12.1 Which Rationall man or substances of body and soule being considered of without the sinne by themselves contracted to and in them are in themselves good for sinne doth not null those created substances which were by Creation good but doth pollute them And not only the good substances of men as in reference to the Creation but of the Devils also are not offensive being considered of apart from the sinne thereto by themselves contracted And further to confirme this necessary point Note what Paul said But I see another law in my members rebelling against the law of my mind Rom. 7.22 Herein the Apostle Paul sheweth distinctly that the Rationall man is the spectator and is the place or person in whom that combate is fought for in effect he saith I see Note that I the Rationall man do see the contest betwixt the flesh and the spirit or the Old man and the New man making war one against the other in me one of them in my mind the other in my members Againe he saith the flesh lusteth against the spirit and the spirit against the flesh so that ye cannot doe that ye would Gal. 5.17 Herein also the word yee cannot doe the things that yee would because of the strong contest of the Old man against the New man or the flesh against the spirit maintained in their persons sets sorth the Rationall man distinct from the Old and New man which rationality hath reference to Rom. 12.1 before cited And although this combate of the flesh and the spirit or the Old man and New man be very often in the conscience of every man that hath attained to years of understanding and judgement yet this distinction is either not knowne or but little discerned by any untill he become a confiding believer neither doe any yield to the new mans part but such yet I believe that no man being capable of understanding will deny but that he hath often felt such conflicts in his conscience and in his judgement although he hath persisted in resisting the good motions of the holy spirit and hath not followed much lesse accepted of that Gospell-light and so in time it may be his conscience is grown seared and then given up of God spiritually insensible of all accusations or good instructions of the spirit or New man dictated in his conscience therefore we are to understand that by the rationall man is meant every man or the substances of every mans soule and body and their faculties And that every man thus considered is totally by nature corrupt by Adams fall originally and so is Sathanically deluded and captived in darknesse and rebellious dispositions Psal 14.2 3. Rom. 3.10 18. So that before any one of mankind can attaine to be able to know or choose light or life upon necessity he the rationall man must be inabled and set free by grace in the inward man their hearts eies

over no fewer than all men as in this Text Rom. 5.12 and Rom. 3.19 so answerably this Text affirmeth that grace did much more abound where sinne abounded by these Texts compared it is hereby proved even in the very litterall sense that as all have sinned even so grace did much more abound over all men which is the same still as before only further strengthned that all have sinned being justified freely by his grace And the reason why this justification in and by Christ is extended to all men is therewith given to be this in the same Chapter Rom. 5. That as sinne had reigned unto death even over all men ver 12. even so largely and timely might grace reigne through righteousnesse unto eternall life by Jesus Christ our Lord ver 21. and as it is here said that even so might grace reign So observe that it is said as hath been touched That he hath made him to be sinne for us that we might be made the righteousnesse of God in him 2 Cor. 5.21 Note that to set forth how many men is meant by the word we it is said in verse 15. that he dyed for all for the world verse 19. From thence is granted though not that all men are made but that all might be made in this life by beleeving if they resist not imputatively the righteousnesse of God in him and might be made at the resurrection of the body inherently and perfectly righteous in themselves Note herewith that no one of Adams posterity either had or shall have an inherent personall righteousnesse either in him by him or from him the first Adam yet by Creation it was possible that they all might have proceeded from him by generation inherently righteous but that possibility being lost by his fall we finde that there is a restored possibility in and by Christ the second Adam procured though not that all men are made but that by the good meanes by Christ performed for all men and in due season communicated to and in all men according to the Text as all men are by and in Christ made righteous before God by a non-imputation of their sinnes against the Law So thereby in their well usage of that ability given all men might be made imputatively personally righteous before God in this life time by their beleeving and in their so abiding might be all made as inherently righteous at the resurrection of the body as Adam was by Creation For beloved our Saviour Christ hath been and is but upon the work of eternall safety which he hath on his part intended and doth intend to finish for all if so be that men do not mar themselves wilfully upon his well-forming Potters wheele of restoration after ability given them to doe the contrary as Adam did for himselfe and all his posterity contrary to Gods gratious prime intent in the Creation For considering that a reconciliation is by Christ made to God for the sinnes of all men or the whole world so that thereby their sinnes against the first Testament Heb. 9.15 Rom. 5.18 20. are not imputed to them as is fully proved in my 20 Distinction This doth undeniably prove the justification of all men from all those sinnes by Christ before God and from this gratious justification of all men by Christ the transgressions against the first Testament Heb. 9.15 Rom. 5.18 or the sinnes accounted to be directly against the Father as in my 9 Distinction which sinnes are called the sinnes of the whole world 1 John 2.2 are called the sinnes past or the sinnes which are of God passed by Rom. 3.25 and from that reconciliation made they are called old sinnes from which some men are said through their wilfull unbeleefe to forget that they are purged 2 Pet. 2.9 and by that reconciliation those sinnes are counted transgressions not that are but which were under the first Testament Heb. 9.15 And from that reconciliation made those sinnes are said not to be sinnes that doe reign but that had reigned unto death Rom. 5.21 although some men doe by their wilfull unbeleefe and disobedience though having so escaped those pollutions yet doe returne with the dog to the vomit and with the sow that was washed to the wallowing in the mire of transgressions against the second Testament or Covenant of grace gratiously prefented to all men in due season by the Holy Ghost But notwithstanding this rebellious Apostacy of some men from God by their wilfull unbeleefe after their inabling abidingly to beleeve as is in my 6 and 7 Distinctions proved that all men are in due season Yet beloved we are to observe this still that all that doe beleeve are justified not only from the curse of the Law and the eternall power which would have thereby seised on them by the first death as all men are whether any man do beleeve it or not but also in a further sense they are justified from all things from which they could not be justified by the Law of Moses Acts 13.39 For the clearing of which Text I intreat you to take notice that notwithstanding Christs so effectuall and timely taking away the eternity of the curse of the Law or first Testament and abolishing the first death due for the transgressions against the covenant of workes even for all men as it is proved that he hath done in my 4 and 5 Distinctions from which the Law of Moses could not justifie any man so that no sinnes of that nature against the Covenant of works or the Fathers Covenant written with his owne finger on Mount Sinai Exod. 31.18 are imputed to the world 2 Cor. 5.18 Col. 1.20 Rom. 5.18 19 20 21. because God hath laid upon him the iniquity of us all Isa 53.6 even us all men and although this remission is effectually procured by Christ to remaine for ever for the benefit of all men whether any man do beleeve or do not beleeve the same Yet notwithstanding mens actuall sinnes even to an idle word Ma. 12.36 are ever since Christs ransoming all men by the Fathers estimation and application of the vertue of his blood as if it had been actually shed at Adams fall as is shewed in my ninth Distinction Sinnes not against the Law but against grace procured by Christ for all men from which also the Law of Moses cannot justifie any man which sinnes whilest they remaine in any man to be only sins of ignorance frailty and infirmity as Christ hath purchased a power to himselfe to forgive those sinnes as Sonne of man Mat. 9.6 Mark 2.16 So he hath promised that verily all those sinnes shall be forgiven unto the sonnes of men Mat. 12.32 Luke 12.10 even untill they prove sinnes persisted in against the Holy Ghosts gratious dictates as those Texts do manifest for then those men by those sins so far persisted in doe totally exclude from themselves the benefit of the Covenant of grace and those persons have then thereby no relation to receive pardon by
