A96295	Mankinds jubilee, or, Good tidings of great joy for all people plainly discovered by Scripture texts ... shewing that there is a common salvation of all men ... / written by Christopher Wade, An. Dom 1658.	Wade, Christopher, 17th cent.	1658 (1658)	Wing W158A; ESTC R42984	102,952	125

because Christ dieth no more and death hath no more dominion over him Rom. 6.9 Yet our Saviour Christ though he be God also yet being therewith the Sonne of man by an Incarnation with humane Nature sin excepted He hath power to forgive and doth forgive as aforesaid as the aforesaid sins of all men as against himselfe without any oblation sacrifice atonement or propitiation made to him the Sonne of man and from thence he exhorteth all men so largely often and freely to forgive one another their trespasses as appeareth Mat. 8.21 22. and in the prayer he taught his Disciples and in Luke 17.4 Thus we finde that all the sins that have been are or are to be acted by any man or all men ever since God the Fathers virtually applying at Adams fall the effects of Christs blood shed for all mens sins And from that time unto the end of the world sinnes against Christ only and his in lightning in abling preparative worke and that they are all as concerning everlasting punishment all forgiven to all the sonnes of men excepting only our Saviour Christs former own exception concerning those of them sinnes which are by some men themselves rebelliously transformed into the sinnes against the Holy Ghost by their persisting obstinately and wilfully in unbeleese against the holy spirits gratious teachings which are alwaies by grace annexed in due season to our Saviours in lightning all men so effectually as is proved in my 6 and 7 Distinctions The eleventh Distinction sheweth what those sins are which in Scripture are accounted to be sinnes against the Holy Ghost and that they shall never be forgiven neither in this world nor in the world to come and the cause why whereby the second death is discovered also OBserve herein considering that Christ doth inlighten every man that commeth into the world so that no fewer than all men through him might beleeve John 1.7 9. And also that in obedience to his Fathers will he doth bring all men unto the knowledge of the truth accoding to 1 Tim. 2.4 as is largely proved in my 6 and 7 Distinctions And considering therewith that the Apostle absolutely affirmeth that if we finne wilfully after we have received the knowledge of the truth there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins but a certain fearfull looking for of judgement and fiery indignation which shall devour the adversaries Heb. 10.26 27 so that effect Heb. 6.5 6. From hence we see proved that those sinnes which are sinnes against the Holy Ghost are the sinnes which some men doe commit against the holy Ghosts teachings after they are by Christ in due season inlightned and after they are helped to the knowledge of the truth and whereas those sins are by Christ said to be unpardonable as in Mat. 12.13 I find the cause to be first in respect that they are sinnes against the second Covenant being the Covenant of grace secondly that they are sins persisted in against the spirit of grace Heb. 10.29 its dictates and teachings who being so offended being God having no INcarnation with humanity These transgressions against God the Holy Ghost by transgressing against the second Testament in wilfull persisting cannot be forgiven without a valuable satisfaction made to satisfie justice with And thirdly I finde the irrecoverable cause to be because there cannot be any valuable satisfaction made for men to satisfie justice for a deity offended who hath no Incarnation with humane nature but by one who though being God and one in Union in the Trinity is made capable to suffer death by taking upon him humane nature And fourthly to conclude this cause I finde that although Christ being so made capable to suffer death did dye to satisfie God the Fathers justice for the sins which as an unresistible violent inundation overwhelmed all Adams posterity though sinners in the seed for sins by him acted without the personall consent much lesse actuall performance of any one of them so preserving all men from the curse of the Law and first death due for the transgressions against that Law ' as in my 4 and 5 Distinctions Yet concerning mens owne actuall and personall sinnes in their individuals wilfully and persistingly acted against the Holy Ghost and second Covenant after their inabsing and inlightenment considering that there is none other of the Trinity but Christ Jesus capable to suffer death nor any other to be found any wise able to make satisfaction to that deity the Holy Ghost so oftended having as God the Father no incarnation with humane nature From hence proceeds the irrecoverable eternall fearfull condition of such Transgressors openly discovered in these few words of Scripture where it is said that without shedding of blood is no remission Heb. 9.22 and by its affirming withall that Christ being raised from the dead dyeth no more and that death hath no more dominion over him Rom. 6.9 From which cause those wilfull persisting transgressors of the second Covenant against God the Holy Ghost must in justice unavoidably perish in the eternall second death Thus I have briefly hinted what the sins against the Holy Ghost are and what the cause is that they are unpardonable as appeareth also Rev. 10.14 15 21 8. Now beloved if you please herewith to take farther notice of the impossibility of their recovery Mat. 12.31 32. and Heb 6. and some particulars of their eternall punishment discovered in Heb. 10.26 27. 2 Pet. 21. Rev. 21.8 Jude 12. 2 Pet. 9.10 2 Thes 1.7 8 9. I shall not need to make any further discovery to shew you what the second death is which is to be a much more sorer punishment then pertained to the breach of Moses Law Heb. 1.29 Only I do intreat you to take notice that because our Saviour Christ hath said that all sinnes and blasphemies shall be forgiven unto the sons of men but only the sinnes or blasphemies against the Holy Ghost That some men have cavilled at this our Saviours affirmation saying then all unbeleevers actuall sins are remitted without any punishment because in that sence the unbeleevers doe perish eternally for their unbeleefe only They herein contrary to Scripture separating the act of unbeleefe it selfe from the evill actions of men or actuall sins of men wilfully persisted in after inlightenment until those men prove to be of that sort of men that are called Goats Mat. 25.32 33. and of the serpentine seed Gen. 15. their actuall sins being also thereby by them transformed into the same nature by their wilfully becomming the children of the Devill John 8.44 From hence that fearfull affirmation ariseth that some men are twice dead that were not only once dead by that one mans offence Rom. 5.12 by the first death but though being fully set free by Christ from the eternall danger of that first death and law of works as in my 4 and 5 Distinctions they doe through their owne wilfull defaults fall into the danger of the eternall second death for their wilfull

infirmities though by them acted against Christ in or under the Covenant of grace as is proved in my 10 14 and 15 Distinctions but covereth them in and by Christ From hence it is said by the Apostle Paul from the Prophet David blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven and whose sinnes are covered Blessed is the man to whom the Lordwill not impute sinne Psal 32.1 2. Rim. 1.8 Thus though all men are blessed in Christ from their transgressions against the first Testament which unavoidably comes upon them by Adams fall by their being not imputed unto them as in my 4 10 and 11 Distinctions Yet some men will as hath been touched by their wilfull persisting in unbeliefe transforme all their actuall sinnes into sinnes against grace and so against the Holy Ghost and thereby never obtaine a personall blessednesse in themselves by a non-imputation of those their sinnes against the second Covenant or covenant of grace which they might have escaped if they had well used their ability given them in the common salvation or blessed condition where with all men are infallibly blessed in Christ vertually as is proved not only in this but also in my 4 5 6 7 10 11 20 22 23 and 24 Distinctions The two and twentieth Distinction sheweth that all men are by restoration sanctified in Christ vertually though some men doe abuse the same and so wilfully lose the benefit of that their Sanctification HErto note that in our Types Moses with the blood of Calves and Goats sprinked the people Exod. 4.8 and he sanctified not only some but all the people of the Jewes for none is excepted Exod. 19.14 which are our examples or Types 1 Cor. 16.6 11. Also note that the bodies of those beasts that were brought in by the High Priest for sinne were burnt without the Camp Heb. 13.10 11. therefore note here that as all the people were sprinkled with the blood of those beasts not one man excepted Heb. 9.19 that from this very ground the Apostle to perfect this his discourse concerning that generall sanctification saith Therefore even Jesus that he might sanctifie the people with his owne blood suffered without the gate ver 12. Thus when he satisfied Justice for the sinnes of the people he suffered without the gates of Jerusalem but yet the question may be how many people be thereby sanctified by his so suffering death without the gate to which question the Scripture answers readily saying he dyed for all 2 Cor. 5.15 and that he tasted death for no fewer than every man Heb. 2.9 and that thereby he became the pacifying propitiation for the sinnes of no fewer people than the sinnes of the whole world 1 John 2.2 By these undeniable testimonies is proved that our Saviour Christ sanctified in himselfe as many people with his owne blood by his suffering without the gate as he there dyed for which is all or there tasted death for which is no fewer than every man as those Texts maintaine And considering that his body is the typified Temple John 2.19 20.21 for sanctifying uses to the world as the Jewes Temple was to that whole Nation we ought not to grudge to give our consent with the Scriptures that by his suffering death without the gate for all men or every man that even so all men or every man were thereby sanctified in him although some men doe prophanely abuse that their sanctification in him as in the Type some sanctified Priests and vessels that were once sanctified in the Jewish materiall Temple and set apart for holy uses yet notwithstanding were many waies many times so by them abused and prophaned as that thereby their former sanctification was nullified Againe for our satisfaction in this very point it is said the unbeleeving wife is sanctified by her beleeving husband and also that the unbeleeving husband is sanctified by his beleeving wife whiest they doe willingly abide together as in the 1 of the Corinthians 7.13 16. Now beloved can we beleeve this in the Creatures nay even in as considered of themselves ungodly Creatures and will we not yield to our blessed unspotted Saviour who is not only as in the speciall salvation more peculiarly the head of his Church but also in the common salvation by restoration the head of no fewer than every man as in 1 Cor. 11.3 shal we not yield him the honour to acknowledge that by his pretious blood-shed for every man that thereby all men are sanctified vertually in him by his restoration and should so continue if they after their inablement did abide in him as the unbeleeving wife doth not lose the vertue of her sanctification that shee hath in her beleeving husband if shee depart not from him especially considering that our Saviour Christ affirmeth saying and I if I be lifted up will draw all men unto me John 12.32 not accepting any one man and hee draweth no man for destructive ends Luke 9.56 And considering that not only all men they being in reference to Creation Gods choice earthly things but also all things both in Heaven and in Earth are not only gathered together but also reconciledly gathered together to himselfe in one in Christ even in him as you may see they are by the peace made by the blood of his Crosse if you will be pleased to compare together Col. 1.20 Eph. 1.10 and 2 Cor. 5.15 18 19 20. And even as the beleeving husband and the beleeving wife are in that Text exhorted not to put away the unbeleeving wife or unbeleeving husband except the unbeleever doe wilfully first make choice to depart from the beleever so christ putteth none away from him nor doth forsake any one man before that person maketh choise to depart and doth first actually forsake him as is by Scripture proved in my 16 Distinction But to take away all stumbling in this very cause the Scripture very fairely steps forth and plainly tels us that there are are some men though by grace drawne to him and reconciledly gathered together in one in him as aforesaid yet notwithstanding being not able easily to go back will put to more sathanicall strength and wilfully draw back even to peridition Heb. 10.39 and though bought by him do deny the Lord that bought them 2 Pet. 2.1 and thereby not God by preterition but themselves doe bring upon themselves swift destruction and that there are some men that although they are brought unto the knowledge of the truth 1 Tim. 2.4 Rom. 1.19 that will sinne willingly after they have received the knowledge of the truth Heb. 10.26 And also the Scripture sheweth us that there are some men that although they be by Christ drawn to him and reconciledly gathered together in him even in him as before said that notwithstanding will tread underfoot the Sonne of God and although they be also with his blood sanctified in him yet will count the blood of the Covenant where with they were sanctified note this where with they were sanctified an unholy
