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.

do_v not_o find_v offer_v only_o but_o free_a &_o absolute_a promise_n in_o that_o covenant_n fourteen_o they_o say_v that_o whosoever_o do_v believe_v that_o christ_n have_v suffer_v for_o the_o sin_n of_o all_o person_n they_o do_v necssary_o believe_v that_o there_o be_v the_o matter_n of_o eternal_a death_n in_o all_o and_o do_v necessary_o believe_v a_o infinite_a love_n extend_v to_o all_o this_o be_v the_o substance_n of_o what_o be_v express_v by_o they_o in_o the_o three_o first_o line_n of_o page_n 16._o i_o answer_v first_o it_o be_v most_o certain_a that_o all_o person_n by_o nature_n be_v child_n of_o wrath_n or_o of_o eternal_a death_n and_o whosoever_o believe_v this_o they_o believe_v a_o truth_n but_o second_o to_o believe_v that_o there_o be_v a_o infinite_a love_n extend_v to_o all_o be_v to_o believe_v that_o which_o the_o word_n of_o truth_n do_v no_o where_n teach_v that_o love_n which_o be_v infinite_a be_v a_o love_n without_o bound_n or_o limit_n both_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o measure_n and_o time_n of_o it_o that_o which_o be_v infinite_a be_v without_o end_n therefore_o whatsoever_o their_o opinion_n of_o christ_n die_v for_o all_o person_n do_v necessary_o tie_v they_o to_o believe_v i_o be_o sure_a the_o scripture_n do_v not_o teach_v we_o to_o believe_v so_o and_o beside_o great_a absurdity_n and_o untruth_n do_v necessary_o follow_v upon_o such_o belief_n for_o than_o it_o will_v certain_o follow_v that_o all_o person_n shall_v enjoy_v the_o unspeakable_a love_n of_o god_n unto_o eternity_n and_o whereas_o they_o allege_v john_n 3.16_o it_o be_v most_o certain_a that_o this_o scripture_n do_v not_o teach_v we_o that_o there_o be_v a_o infinite_a love_n extend_v to_o all_o person_n from_o first_o to_o last_o but_o because_o i_o have_v already_o open_v the_o meaning_n of_o this_o scripture_n i_o shall_v say_v no_o more_o of_o it_o in_o this_o place_n but_o refer_v the_o reader_n to_o what_o i_o have_v abovesaid_a thereof_o in_o its_o proper_a place_n fifteenh_o they_o say_v if_o christ_n have_v not_o suffer_v for_o all_o person_n than_o the_o question_n be_v how_o shall_v i_o find_v that_o he_o have_v suffer_v for_o i_o but_o if_o i_o believe_v he_o have_v suffer_v for_o all_o than_o i_o do_v necessary_o believe_v that_o he_o have_v suffer_v for_o i_o and_o again_o say_v they_o not_o to_o believe_v this_o it_o take_v away_o the_o certainty_n of_o faith_n from_o any_o man_n in_o respect_n of_o christ_n for_o if_o any_o man_n be_v exclude_v from_o the_o benefit_n of_o his_o death_n i_o may_v be_v the_o person_n as_o soon_o as_o any_o other_o and_o i_o have_v no_o ground_n to_o believe_v the_o contrary_n and_o again_o say_v they_o no_o person_n have_v any_o true_a ground_n to_o believe_v that_o christ_n have_v suffer_v for_o they_o otherwise_o than_o he_o be_v declare_v in_o scripture_n to_o have_v suffer_v for_o all_o and_o no_o save_a faith_n say_v they_o stand_v in_o opposition_n to_o this_o doctrine_n of_o christ_n suffering_n for_o the_o sin_n of_o all_o these_o thing_n be_v express_v by_o they_o in_o the_o 18_o 19_o 20_o 21_o 22_o line_n of_o p._n 15._o and_o

right_o understand_v therefore_o to_o make_v this_o the_o ground_n or_o foundation_n of_o faith_n as_o they_o do_v be_v to_o build_v upon_o a_o sandy_a foundation_n and_o if_o the_o foundation_n be_v

of_o his_o faith_n but_o for_o the_o truth_n of_o it_o who_o have_v no_o other_o or_o better_a ground_n to_o believe_v that_o christ_n have_v suffer_v for_o he_o than_o this_o that_o he_o have_v suffer_v for_o all_o person_n and_o it_o be_v much_o to_o be_v fear_v that_o such_o a_o one_o who_o thus_o speak_v and_o persist_v in_o it_o have_v not_o yet_o feel_v the_o lively_a and_o powerful_a working_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n within_o he_o open_v his_o eye_n and_o draw_v his_o heart_n to_o come_v to_o jesus_n christ_n three_o although_o they_o say_v that_o no_o man_n have_v any_o

life_n everlasting_a teach_v he_o to_o set_v a_o high_a price_n upon_o the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n to_o embrace_v it_o to_o trust_v in_o it_o and_o to_o account_v all_o thing_n beside_o loss_n and_o dung_n enable_v he_o withalll_v by_o the_o same_o power_n sincere_o to_o love_n jesus_n christ_n to_o kiss_v his_o sceptre_n to_o confess_v his_o name_n to_o deny_v himself_o to_o take_v up_o his_o cross_n daily_o and_o follow_v christ_n i_o say_v it_o be_v most_o certain_a that_o such_o a_o person_n do_v free_o believe_v in_o jesus_n christ_n he_o be_v a_o justify_v person_n through_o

that_o indeed_o jesus_n christ_n be_v his_o redeemer_n and_o he_o be_v one_o of_o the_o redeem_v once_o of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o then_o when_o god_n be_v please_v to_o go_v yet_o further_o that_o

his_o reconciliation_n and_o sonship_n he_o be_v now_o sweet_o assure_v and_o persuade_v upon_o good_a ground_n that_o christ_n be_v he_o and_o he_o be_v christ_n that_o christ_n love_v he_o and_o

and_o yet_o see_v no_o ground_n from_o scripture_n to_o receive_v that_o opinion_n of_o christ_n die_v for_o all_o person_n and_o as_o for_o they_o who_o be_v of_o that_o opinion_n and_o make_v it_o

i_o find_v that_o the_o preacher_n of_o the_o gospel_n of_o who_o the_o scripture_n make_v mention_v do_v dispense_v or_o preach_v that_o one_o and_o the_o same_o gospel_n in_o a_o divers_a manner_n
