1. God the Father out of his Royal Bounty, and Fountain of Love, when all Mankind was fallen by Sin, in breaking of the first Covenant of Works made with them in Adam, did chuse Jesus Christ, and sent him into the World to die for Adam, or fallen Man. And God’s Love is manifest to all Mankind, in that he is not willing, as himself has Sworn, and abundantly declared in his Word, that Mankind should perish eternally,a but would have all to be Saved, and come to the knowledg of the Truth: And Christ died for all Men, and there is a sufficiency in his Death and Merits for the Sins of the whole World,b and hath appointed the Gospel to be preached unto all;c and hath sent forth his Spirit to accompany the Word, in order to beget Repentance and Faith:d So that if any do Perish, it’s not for want of the means of Grace manifested by Christ to them, but for the non-improvement of the Grace of God, offered freely to them through Christ in the Gospel.e
