God doth benefite all men; or particu∣larly, whereby hee doth good to the E∣lect in Christ: but this vniversall, and generall grace ought to bee discerned from the singular, and particular: as al∣so the vniversall, and common benefits towards all, as they are men, from the Particular towardes men, as they are Christians.

THe Affirmation is Inconsequent, from the Generall to all Particu∣lar things: for all ought not to bee ta∣ken vniversally of every man, but gene∣rally of all sorts of men.

THere is one Efficacy of calling out∣ward, another inward; the outward is, when the sences, and corporal things are touched, & moved by the outwarde Ministery: the inward, when the vn∣derstanding, and will are touched, and moved: Both these Efficacies againe are two-fold: the one saving, proper to the Elect; the other not saving, but, leading the way according to the gene∣rall order, and generally belongeth vn∣to all that are called.
The Places.
1. Tim 4 10. Ans. The benefites of Christ, in the saving of men, are distinct by two degrees: the one is common to all: the other is peculiar to the Church, and saving to the faithful. Adde further, that the word of (saving) importeth sometimes the benefites of God in this life, and sometimes that eternall benefite of salvation aequivocally.
