Km̃ction for ſuch as oppoſed the Apoſtles. So we have an- 


ther evidence, , it does not mean all men, in John xvi. 8. 

he ſame word is expreſsly limited to unbelievers; exclu- 
five of all who believe in Chrift — ſo in John xiv. 17. It is 
uſed for ſuch as cannot receive the ſpirit of truth; excluſive of 
theſe who receive him, and in the 17, v. of the ſame chapter, 
for all ex&ept the diſciples, of courſe this word don't neceſſa- 
rily mean all men, it is uſed with like limitation, John xv, 19. 
and xvii, 9, v. it means thoſe for whom the ſaviour of man did 
not ſo much as aſk for alvation, and in I. Cor. vi, 2. it means 
only ſuch as ſhall be nnally judged by the ſaints, in Heb. xi, 
7. he means only ſuch as were condemned by Noah's condu& 
Wdulding he ark, it is ſaid with like limitation, II. Pet. ii. 5. 

But we ſhall be told the expreffion in this, I. John ii, 2. 18 
much more emphatical, it is peri co/oz ton Koſmon. For the whoie 


world. Vet we ſhall foon ſee to certainty, that other texts 
of equal authority prove, that this phraſe is no foundation 


for the notion of univerſal ſalvation. We are told, Rom. 
i. $. that the faith of the Roman Chriftiang was ſpoken of 


throughout the whole world.“ And yet every body knows, 


that thoſe who ſit in darkneſs, and ſaw no goſpel-light ; 
even Whole nations, who at that day, had neither heard, or 
thought of the chriſtian faith, are not included in this ex- 
preſſion. Of courſe, it is raſh, and dangerous, for creatures 


of yeſterday, and going before an inflexible and righteous 


judge, to build their hope of univerſal ſalvation on an ex- 
pre ſſion which the ſcriptures uſe in a limited ſenſe. Tha 
whole world” through which the faith of a few believers. 
at Rome, was celebrated, at that time, could nut likely be 
more than the © Roman empire; and it is p:obable that 
fevezxal heathen nations within that monarchy, never heard, 
thought, or concerned themſelves at all about the faith of 
a few individuals at Rene. Yet in ſuch a limited ſenſe is 
this phraſe uſed in the holy word. See I. John v. 19. 
„The Whole world lieth in wickedneſs,” and yet in the 
ſame verſe he expreſſes himfelf, the Parthian. chriftians, 
and all who are of God. So far therefore is this expreſſion 
from ſerving the purpoſe of thoſe who in a very miſtaken 
manner confide- in it. Many other ſcriptures. of the ſame 
ſenſe which uſe the word 4% inftead of tbe whole, are evi- 
dently uſed, with like reſtridtion. Fot as Teravius, /azs, 
par, all, and olos, the aubele, are indifferently uſed, the one 
for the other in the Bible. 8 body knows che whole

Let nom confine 2 little more to the text in queſtion» 
r the ſins of the whole world. Let me 
freely aſk» the reader, do you think he is ſo for thoſe liars, 
deſcribed in the 4. v. who do not his commandments; and 


ol hom he ſays the truth is not in them? is he the propitiation 


for the ſins of thofe, who walk not as he walked ? 6. v. is he 
ſo, for ſuch as walk in darkneſe, even untill now? 9. v. is he 
ſo. fot ſuch as hate their brethren, walk in darknefs, and know 
not whither they go, 1 1. v.? for fuch as love the world, and 


have not the love of Cod in them? 15. v. nay, for ſuch as are 


totally governed by the luſts of the fleſn, the luft of the eye, 
a A Nb pride of liſe, which the ſame apoftle ſays are not 
of the father, hut axe of the world in oppoſition to the father? 
16, v. the very ſuppoſition that all theſe are yet the ſubjeQs 
of that ſaving propitiation, is to make the ſcripture abſurd, 
inconfiftant, and perfectly uninteligible, and he who holds 
this ſentiment, would be aſhamed to alledge any thing out of 
the ſame. Bible in ſuppoxt of it. 
The truthor the whole affair is this; this epiſtle was written 
m ſuch Jaws, as had been driven out of their own country bx 
former: perſecutions, and large numbers of them had found 
ſanctuaxy in Parthia, a country far from their on land, in the 


eaſtern part of Aſia, nd having no communication with their 


native cquntry, nor means to know how it fared with chriſtians 
there, ſince they left that land, and their brethren diſtreſſed 


with perſecution, inſpiration direQs this apoſtle, to write them 
this epiſtle to inform them what the father of light had taught 


them, ſinee their ex pulſion, and how the chriftianintereft ſuc- 
ceeded, and among many documents, he tells them that chriſti- 
auity was yet triumphant, not only among the Jews in a mea- 
ſure, but alſo among the Gentiles; inſomuch that contrary to 
zu their old Rn the true religion obtained, Md. 
remĩſſion of ſins was granted equal ly ta the Gentiles, as to the 
Jews, ſo that the propitiation was applied to, was evidently as 
effectual for the reft of the world, as it was at firſt for thoſe Par- 
thians, and many others among the Jews, therefore he ſays, 
not for our fins only, but for thoſe of the whole world,” that 
18,1uft. ſo for others where ver its doQtrine comes, as it was at ſirft 
for us. The apoſtle. knew, that . thoſe Parthians knew that 
only ſome of the Jews. had ſaving benefits formerly. by the pro- 
pitiation:s: juſt ſo, ſays he it is now among the Gentiles. The Dy 
World in common, whom we were wont io deem accurſed, and

Another paſſage 'which has been wreſted out of its evi-

For the grace of God, Which dringeth ſalvation Hath ap- 


ared 10 all men.“ Every man who reads the Bible, and 


is attentive to what he reads, may obſerve this text fefers to 
time then paſt, hath appeared.“ Put to all ſuch readers, 
it is evident enough, that at that time, the Bible and ſo its 
contents, had appeared to but a very few of mankind. And 


ſo it is certain at firſt light, that the device of falvation 
for all men univerſally, has no ſuppott of this text. It was 


indeed tive then, and ſo it is ftill, that wherever the Bible 


comes, it appears Plainly enough to all who are rational- 


ly attentive to what they ſee in it, that it is 4 ſcheme of 


grace, very free grace; and that etemal ſalvatien is its ob- 


Je. And that by its grace, the worft of men, may happilß | 
gàttain to that object. But it is juſt as evident from all parts 


of this divine ſyſtem, that it never deſigned every indivi- 


dual to that happineſs, as it is from the letter of this text, 


conn red with thoſe times, that they had not attzined to

The next object of out attention muft be a paſſage in Eph.

Alſo a paſſage of like import in Col. i. 20. To reconcile

ame ſovereign will, and made infallibly ſecure, that he might 
f know certainly what he ſhould ha ve, for the travail of his ſcul. 
ble 1. The honor of divine juſtice became intereſted, in Chriſtꝰs 
by having a reward aſſigned him, and this made infallibly cer- 
M . ain, For it is a rule of natural . the la mY 
the WI is worthy of his hire, Luke x. 7. but how this coſtly attone- 
his - mentſhould ſucceed, or whether it ſhould certainly ſucceed at 
all, could not be made quite certain to Jeſus Chrift, but by an if 
a abſolue determination or decree, wherein Gad pledge th him {| 
le- ſelf to the redeemer, to cauſe to be effectuated ſuch ſucceſs and 1 
5 reward infallibly. There is nothing in all exiſtence abſo: 
„ lutely infallible but God. The reaſon of this caſe demanded 
Pi- infallibility of ſecurity to Jeſus Chriſt. Therefore Rom. v. viii. 
guns 29. ſpeaks in this manner, he did Predeſtinate, or abſolute yx,

Anf. That is no honor at all, but an infinite reproach, which 
advanceth one attribute of God, at the ex penee, andinfinity - 
diſhonor of another. Righteouſneſs and juſtice are attributes - . 
of God, immediately diſhonored by ſin, and they have a prim.

- foul of them Who obey unrighteouſneſs, ſhall be rendered in- 
dignation and wrath.” Rom. ii. 8, 9. The wicked fthall 
be turned into hell, with all the nations who forget God. 
Pal. ix. 17. Be not deceived, the unrighteous ſhall not in- 
herit the kingdom of God. I. Cor. vi: 9. And the holy book 
abounds with ſuch ſentences. To all which, the device ef ſal- 
vation for all men, is a moſt daring oppoſition ; and the faire 
way to ſupport a pretence of this device, is to deny the divini - 
ty of: Jeſus Chrift, and the Bible. And after Deiſm, the road 
lis open to Atheiſm, and either of theſe will decide the point, 
- wh» ſhall be faved and who not. But tis affecting to conſider 
.. multitudes, without any qualiſications for. future happineſs, - 
._ pacifying their conſciences with this, t hat ſome men, and 
perhaps, becauſe of advantage, they call them great and 
good, affirm that Chtiſt died for all, and of courſe that all 
mall be ſaved. So becauſe this better POE a flothful wick -

 andrevere. For he knew all men were big abſolute property; / 
and that they were all bankfupts; having totally foifeited | 
py good, and loft all ground of Claim to a reRtoration. He knew 
Alſo that his juſtice was às honofable as his mercy ; yea that 
both were alike honorable, And though he was under no 
1 | bonds toſhew mercy at all; yetſych is his benevolent nature,

that mercy pleaſed him. ut ſomè of men, were due to his ju-

All the earth müſt do right, Some aneient evidences of hi: 
bſ,,  Tighteous ſovereignty, arenot ts be diſputed, He defeated the

ͤcder in ſuch manner, as ſhould iſſue in the final blindneſs of 
many. Ifziahvu 9, 10. To this end he ſent Rrong deluſions 
tc ſame, that they might be damned. II. Thefl. ii. 11, 12. 80 
dais righteouſneſs appears, in making the wicked for the day

to ſtumble at the word. I. Pet. ii, 8. And ſome as natural

Dear Sirs, You allow the Bible is the word of God; 
vou make ule of it as ſich; you allow its authority is well 

 eftabliſhed. How can you fail to ſee the importance of its 

_ analogy, i. e. the conſiſtency of one part with another? 

God is one; and his ſyſtem is like himſelf. It is like the

for you to ſuſpeQ a ſcheme of ſentiments, of which you muſt

not, in the burning day? Than to run a preſumptious ven-

did he not ſpeak out then? And not leave us ſo embarraſs

55 counſel; which if duly attended to, would relieve us en- 
tirely, viz. John v. 39. Se ach the ſcriptures they are the 
which teſtify of me. The word rendered ſearch is rem; 
its theme is rendeied by Scruter; pleaſe to admit a few words 
from the noted Mr. Pzxx1ns on the import of this word. 
Leigh's Crit. Sac. in Verb. He ſays, © the word is Meta- 
phorical, taken from ſuch as ſearch in mines, for filver and 
gold. They will dig deep, they will break the ſeveralclods 
of earth to pieces, to find the golden ore. Thus muſt we 
deal with the ſcripture. Search as we would for: gold, or 
ſome precious thing, which we would fain find.” Prov. ij. 
4. Search, i. e. ſhake and lift them, as the word fignti- 
fies, Search narrowly,.till the true force and meaning, of 
every ſentence; yea of every word and ſyllable, nay of e- _ 
very letter and iota therein, is known and underſtood; com- 
pare place with place, the ſcope of one place, with the 
cope of another. Things gong, PHUre, with what comes 
- after, yea compare: word with word, letter with letter; and 
| ſo ſearch it throughly.”? Thus he. And is not divine cou 
ſel worth this pain ? Is not our own information, peace, and 
eternal intereſt worth it? Would not all this labour be well 
repaid, if by that mean, we got evidence of the mind of _ 
God? Well, he has ſaid © then ſhall we know, when we 


follow on to know the Lord.” Hol. vi. 3. And doubtleſs 
riving good heed to theſe counſels, would prevent much 
darkneſs and trouble; and ſecure us from many dangerous 5 
BW fentiments and practices. Beſides, you are ſenſible, my _} 
ve WW friends; that you are ſomewhat unhappy, not only by the 
n- WM diſſention of many from you; but for want of ſome more 
15 clear and convincing ſeripture- light, in your fa vor. Hdd
