of God despightful proud boasters inventers of evil things disobedient to parents without understanding covenant-breakers without natural affection implacable unmerciful 29. So far is their Learning and Arts from making them just and happy that they abound with all manner of odious shameful Sin here named 32. Who knowing the judgment of God that they which commit such things are worthy of death not only commit the same but have pleasure in them that do them 32. And all their knowledge of Good and Evil is so far from Justifying or Sanctfying them that they live in the practice of that which they know God doth condemn and in their Societies and Conversation make it their delight CHAP. II. 1. THerefore thou art unexcusable O man whosoever thou art that judgest for wherein thou judgest another thou condemnest thy self for thou that judgest dost the same things 1. Therefore thou that thinkest highly of thy self for thy Knowledg and basely of others as ignorant or barbarous art so far from being justified by this that it aggravateth thy Sin and leaveth thee without excuse For thou livest in as great Sin as those whom thou condemnest as Ignorant 2. But we are sure that the judgment of God is according to truth against them which commit such things 2. But we know that God will judge all Men in Truth and Righteousness according to their Works and will condemn evil doers whatever their Knowledge and Profession be 3. And thinkest thou this O man who judgest them which do such things and dost the same that thou shalt escape the judgment of God 3. Is it not then thy manifest error to think that thy Knowledge and condemning Sin in-others will justifie and save thee that livest in Sin 4. Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and long suffering not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance 5. But after thy hardness and impenitent heart treasurest up to thy self wrath against the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God 6. Who will render to every man according to his deeds 4 5 6. While thou boastest of Wisdom and livest in Wickedness thou shewest the more contempt of God even of the Riches of his goodness and forbearance and long-suffering not knowing Practically that the goodness of God which thou dost acknowledge in Words should lead thee to Repentance and forsaking of Sin 5. But thy Heart being hardened in impenitency by Sin against Knowledge thou dost but treasure up certain punishment against the Day when God will shew his Righteousness by his Judgment 6. And will judge and use Men according to their Deeds 7. To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honour and immortality eternal life 7. To them who by a life of true obedience and patient waiting for his Reward do seek first for future Glory and Honour and Immortal Happiness he will give Eternal Life 8 9. But to them that are contentious and do not obey the truth but obey unrighteousness indignation and wrath tribulation and anguish upon every soul that doth evil of the Jew first and also of the Gentiles 8 9. But to them that resist the Light and contend against the revealed Truth and obey it not but live in the Practice of Uunrighteousness while they boast of Knowledge God will pour forth his Indignation and Wrath Tribulation and Anguish even on every one that liveth in Sin and Wickedness first on the Jews who sin under their boasting of their Peculiarity Law and Jewish Knowledge and the Greeks and Romans who sin under their boasting of Learning and Philosophy and conceited Wisdom 10 11. But glory and honour and peace to every man that worketh good to the Jew first and also to the Gentile For there is no respect of persons with God 10 11. But Glory Honour and Peace to every Man that liveth a life of true Obedience and well doing to the Jew first according to their Covenant-Prerogative and also to the Gentiles as being in the same Covenant of Grace for God saveth not Men partially for their outward Priviledges or their barren Knowledge and Profession 12. For as many as have sinned without law shall also perish without law and as many as have sinned in the law shall be judged by the law 12. For all Men shall be judged according to the Obl●gations which they were under They that sinned against the Law of Nature and commmon Mercies and were never under the Mosaical Law or Supernatural Revelation shall be condemned by the Law which they sinned against and not by that which was never given them But the Jews that sinned under Moses's Law shall be judged by it 13. For not the hearers of the law are just before God but the doers of the law shall be justified 13. For no Law of God doth justifie Men meerly for having it and hearing it but for doing it so far as they do it 14. For when the Gentiles which have not the law do by nature the things contained in the Law these having not the law are a law unto themselves 15. Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts their conscience also bearing witness and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another 14 15. For when the Gentiles which have not the Jewish or any written Law of God do by Nature that which that Law commandeth these having not that supernatural written Law have Gods Law of Nature in themselves and shew the effects of this Natural Revelation written in their Hearts their Consciences naturally having some Conviction of Gods Soveraign Government and Mans duty tells them as a Witness whether they do well or ill and their Reason accusing or defending them accordingly 16. In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my Gospel 16. I mean not by any mistaken self judging in this World but even at the Bar of Christ when God shall open all mens secret Acts and rectifie all mistaken judgings as I have preached in foretelling that judgment of Christ 17. Behold thou art called a Jew and restest in the law and makest thy boast of God 18. And knowest his will and approvest the things that are more excellent being instructed out of the law 19. And art confident that thou thy self art a guide to the blind a light of them that are in darkness 20. An instructer of the foolish a teacher of babes which hast the form of knowledge and of the truth in the law 17 18 19 20. And that you may know that the Law will justifie no man for having or knowing it but for doing it consider that it is but self-deceit to think that thou shalt be justified for being called a Jew and resting in the Divineness and perfection of your Law and boasting that you are Gods peculiar People and that his Will and excellent things are known by you which the world knoweth not

Paul a more capable receiver of Mercy than he should have been if he had maliciously sinned against Knowledge 14. And the grace of our Lord was exceeding abundant with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus 14. And this Mercy which called me hath poured out on me by the Holy Ghost an abundant measure of Faith in Christ and love to him and his which carrieth me on in his Work with Zeal and unwearied diligence 15. This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptation that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners of whom I am chief 15. This is the Great Article of our Christian Faith which we may trust to and of great comfort to us all and worthy of our thankful acceptation That Christ came into the World to save Sinners which I that am one of the chief must therefore predicate with chiefest Thanks 16. Howbeit for this cause I obtained mercy that in me first Jesus Christ might shew forth all long-suffering for a pattern to them which should hereafter believe on him to life everlasting 16. But it pleased God to shew mercy to me so great a Sinner to magnifie his Grace and encourage all Sinners against Despair that in me Christ might exemplarily shew his gracious Patience and Forbearance and confirm all Sinners in the hope of Everlasting Life who after shall believe and be converted 17. Now unto the King eternal immortal invisible the onely wise God be honour and glory for ever and ever Amen 17. The sense of this unspeakable Mercy calleth up my Soul and should do all to speak with joy the Praises of our God who is Eternal Immortal Invisible the onely God absolutely Wise over Angels and all Creatures To him be honour and Glory for ever and ever Amen 18. This charge I commit unto thee son Timothy according to the prophecies which went before on thee that thou by them mightest war a good warfare 19. Holding faith and a good conscience 18. Note 1. By Charge is meant holding Faith and a good Conscience and keeping the Doctrine committed to him by Paul as a faithful Minister and Soldier of Christ against all Opposition 2. It seems some particular Prophecy such as Aga●us had of Paul and many then had had foretold that Timothy should be a faithful Minister 19. Which some having put away concerning faith have made shipwrack 20. Of whom is Hymeneus and Alexander whom I have delivered unto Satan that they may learn not to blaspheme 19 20. Which some have cast away and lost the Christian Faith Such are Hymeneus and Alexander whom I have delivered to Satan as Gods Executioner of some Bodily Punishment to see whether Correction will convince them of their Blasphemy Note 1. What their Blasphemy was is after shewn 2 Tim. 2.17 4.14 2. That Satan is oft Gods Executioner in Correction and Destruction is certain and that such is the Delivery here meant for want of Christian Magistrates But it was none of Satans desire but Gods hereby to teach them not to blaspheme CHAP. II. 1. I Exhort therefore that first of all supplications prayers intercessions and giving of thanks be made for all men 1. As I have oft said That Charity is the End and Sum of Religion I exhort that this may be sincerely manifested in your Religious Worship and that you heartily pray for all sorts of Men that God would save them from Sin and Misery and give them Grace and Mercy and be thankful for their Welfare as if it were your own 2. For kings and for all that are in authority that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty 2. For Kings and for all that are in Preeminence or Superiority that they may so govern that we may be protected in the quiet serving of God in Godliness and decent Conversation with Men without Reproach and Persecution Note 1. That the Character of the Rulers that we are to pray for is not onely 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 jus r●gendi Right but 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Preeminence Pray for him that hath the right of Governing as far as you can know it But submit to him that hath setled Possession so far as it wrongeth not anothers Right and so far pray for such that we may live a quiet and peaceable Life in all Godliness and Honesty 3. For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour 4. Who will have all men to be saved and to come unto the knowledge of the truth 3 4. For this is agreeable to the great Mercy manifested in Mans Redemption by Jesus Christ who by his Death and Covenant of Grace and Preaching hath shewed us how willing he is that all Men should be saved and come to the knowledge of his Gospel Note 1. That while we obediently pray as God commandeth us we may confidently expect Gods acceptance 2. An extensive Charity rendreth us like Christ 3. It is not onely all sorts of men that Christ would have to be saved but he willeth the Salvation of all Men in general so far as to make a Sacrifice sufficient for all if all will believe and to make an Act of Oblivion or general Pardon and Gift of Life to all on Condition of Acceptance and to send his Messengers promiscuously to all with the Word of Reconciliation to beseech them to be reconciled to God What Christ giveth to all he willeth and purchased for all But he giveth to all a Pardon and Right to Life on Condition of Acceptance Therefore he is so far willing of their Salvation 5. For there is one God and one mediatour between God and men the man Christ Jesus 6. Who gave himself a ransom for all to be testified in due time 5 6. For it must move us to pray for all in compliance with this Will of God that would have all Men saved because there is One God who is good to all and One Mediatour between God and Mankind who took on him the Common Nature of all Men and gave himself a Ransom for all revealed in the Season appointed of God or to be preached to all in due time as God pleaseth Note The Controversie about Universal Redemption too hotly agitated by Beza Piscater and others on one side and by many on the other I have fully handled in my Catholick Theologie and Methodus Theologiae and it needs no more than as aforesaid 1. Whoever is damned it is not because no Ransom was made for him or because it was not sufficient for him 2. By Gods Will to save all is meant the Effects of his Will that have a tendency to their Salvation 3. It is notorious that God hath made an Universal Act of Grace or Oblivion giving Pardon of all Sin and Right to Life in Christ to all Men without exception on Condition of Believing-acceptance and hath commissioned his Ministers to offer this Gift to all Men to the utmost of their power and entreat them to
