The vniversallity of God's free-grace in Christ to mankind.: Proclaimed and displayed from 1 Tim. 2.6. and Hebr. 2.9. according to their genuine sense. That all might be comforted, encouraged; every one confirmed and assured of the propitiation and death of Christ for the whole race of mankind, and so for himself in particular. / Through urgent importunity, written by Thomas Moore.

Ʋse. 6. If thou be one that hast been so farre enlightned by the Spirit in the Gospel of the grace of God; that thou hast so seen and be∣leeved the report thereof, that thou seest and knowest that Redem∣tion is wrought, Ransome given, Propitiation made with God for Man∣kind by CHRIST. So at in him, sinne is satisfyed for, Wrath appeased, Justice satisfyed, Law answered, and Death abolished, favour and Life obtained, and Spirit revived by CHRIST, to conserre remission of sins, Righteousnesse and Life on such as Beleeve in him, and to Renew and Leade them in all Truth, and bring them to the Inheritance.

So as hereby thou art convinced, that thou art under both power and guilt of sinne; because thou beleevest not on him; and thy heart hereby gained to acknowledge him Lord; and so let goe all other hopes and delights without desiring after them; and to long after him; and that hee by his Spirit would enable thee to beleeve on him; But yet thou art not so farre overcome by his grace seen, as to be drawne upon him, so to beleeve in him, as to receive remission of Sinnes, and Peace in thy heart, which still remaineth broken, trem∣bling, not healed, but gasping and panting after healing: I pray thee remember what thou hast heard, and what thou hast seen concern∣ing the Propitiation made by Jesus Christ our Lord: and the great Love of God, in giving him to dye for sinners, and waite with Pati∣ence at his Posts, in the use of all such meanes as the Gospel hath set forth for thee. Prov. 3.4, 14. and 8.33, 34, 35. Resort to the Church Assemblies, heare his Word, remember, meditate, pray, have fellow∣ship with such as doe enjoy his grace; pitty the distressed; goe on in the ordinary imployments of thy Calling, his Providence layeth be∣fore thee, and be still desiring after him; and waiting when hee will by discoveries of his grace come to thee, and give thee Peace by his Spirit, and through the blood of his Sonne: It is a good thing for thee thus to hope and waite for the Salvation of God: Lam. 3.26. but doe not thou point him his way; and say it must be by such a one, in such a word or Promise in such a manner, &c. Isa. 40.13. but wait, that it may be by his Spirit, glorifying his grace, and giving in Peace by his blood, and so uniting thee to Christ: Let the visite come by what instrument, in what Ordinance, with what part of his Word, at what time, with more or lesse light, as it pleaseth him. Isai. 55.3.5. 1 Pet. 21, 22. onely accept no other Props nor consolations, till by his Spirit, applying, his blood, he give it; but stay, though it be in dark∣nesse upon that Name and report of him and his goodnesse, which thou hast heard of, and seen in the Gospel, and so waite for his help, Isa. 50.4.10. if hee cause thee, (as our Types of old, Hosea. 3.3, 4, 5.) to waite many dayes, yet neither turne aside to another, nor be discouraged to murmur, but say, I have sinned against him, I will now beare his in∣dignation, and waite till he bring me forth to the sight. Mich. 7.9. nei∣ther faint, but look on him who died for thee, and now calleth thee, and hath mercy to bestow on thee; it being his Office, to which he is consecrate,

and for which he is filled with Spirit, to speak good tidings to the Poore, and heale the broken-hearted, and to comfort the mo••••ners that are breken of all other hopes and contents, and cannot be at rest till they have it in him, and he will not faile to performe his Office. Isa. 61.1, 2, 3. Yea, God himself willeth thee to look to Christ, and telleth thee, hee will not refuse thee, nor cust thee off, though thou deserve it, nor faile till hee have done thee good: See at large: Isa. 42.1.8. And hee hath bid his ser∣vants, though thou be feeble and trembling, yet to speake comfortably to thee, and to say to thee, Be strong, searenot, your God with come, bee will come and save you, then the eyes of the blind shall be opened. Isa. 35.3, 4, 5. Waite therefore, and use the meanes, and be not discouraged. Let his love, testified in shedding his blood, to make the Propitiation when wee were enemies, and his Love, in calling us off our hurtfull delights and Confidences, Prevaile with thee, to thinke no other thoughts of God, then such as suit with the acknowledgement of such Love: and seeing hee saith, he are ye deafe, and look yee blinde, that yee may see. Isa. 42.18. Hee being able to give both eares and eyes; and of his willingnesse, it would be a dishonour to the Love already disco∣vered, to doubt; say therefore, I will trust in him, though hee kill mee. Job. 13.15. All the dayes of my appointed time will I waite till my change come. Job. 14.14. and so waiting for his gracious Peace, speaking in his blood, sprinckling on thy heart, his grace exceeding thy desires, he will in due time, satisfy thy soul with good; blessed are they that wait for him: none of them shall be ashamed. Esai. 30.18. and 49.23. Let this support thee till he come.
