Edit 2. Quest WHether every man that cometh into the world be enlightned by Christ Danson We grant every man hath some light by which he discerns though dimly many 1. Sins 2. Duties 3. Divine Attributes but the mysterie of godlinesse 1 Tim. 3. ult God manifest in the flesh justified in the spirit c. we deny that all men have the knowledge of Hubberthorn The light is but one Danson The lights mentioned 1. Naturall and 2. Supernaturall are two though all have the one yet few the other If your meaning be that the knowledge of the Gospel is vouchsafed by Christ to every man I prove the contrary 1. Psal 147.19 20. He sheweth his word unto Jacob his statutes and judgements unto Israel he hath not dealt so with any nation and as for his judgements they have not known them By the Word Statutes and Judgements are meant the knowledge of the Gospel and the Psalmist asserts no nation beside the Jewes had this knowledge at this time 2. Ephes 2.12 Speaking of the Gentiles before Christ the Apostle sayes they were without Christ strangers from the covenant of promise having no hope and without God in the world They who had no hope that is no ground of hope of salvation were ignorant of the promises the ground of hope and so of God in Christ the object of hope and so of the summe of the Gospel Geo. Whitehead Rom. 2.15 sayes The Gentiles have the Law in their hearts Danson It is spoken of the natural light for it s opposed to the knowledge of the Jewes Whitehead It is said to be the knowledge of whatsoever might be known of God Rom. 1.19 Danson The Apostle intends that what might be known of God without the preaching of the Gospel was known to the Gentiles vers 16 17.

Loe we turn to the Gentiles for so hath the Lord commanded us saying I have set thee to be a light of the Gentiles That of the Ephesians denies the Gentiles at all to have been enlightned by Christ unlesse as God before Christ they were afar off from God and Christ and the knowledge of them Ephes 4.18 Alienated from the life of God In potentia proxima o● sensu composito which imports their understandings no more capable of the knowledge of God then creatures of one kind of life to converse with another So that the Gentiles wanted the light of the Gospel and light in their understandings as the light of the Sun is requisite externally and the light in the eye so the Gospel and an enlightned understanding Geo.
