Thecontraft, on the Son's part, was ifr
''^ hat ? s the Ire of God, which man
tr>nfye&d : was infinite, and nothing
mart .at an infinite farisfa&ion would answer
fthe purpole, the Son assumed human nature,
and c^me forthand said, Lo ! I couse, Fath,
er, as it is written id the volume of thy bock,
to4o thfcwiH, O God ! and the Father on
his ^aft, in amfcqQence of the Son's urideKh
Taking, in behalrof the Haman Race,' gave
him the heathen, for his inheritances and the
utterroeft part Os the ecrth,fcr his poffeflion:
he gave all flefh into his h^nds,that all should
hopopr the Sou, even as they honour the
Father—he gave him power over all flefh,
that he should give eternal life to as many as
he had. given him,, and then annexes t^is
promise to the Son, that he should foe his
feed, he should prolong his days, and that
the pleasure of the Lord should prosper in
his hands ; and what the Diving Lord prom
ises, wfemay be assured he wilftperform.——
Now, who is his feed ? Why, all flefh, as he'
; gave him all flefh ; and the pleasure W the 1
Lord is to prosper in his hands. - Now the
next inquiry is, What is the pleasure of the
Lord? As I live, faith the Lord, I have no
pleasure in the death of the finner, but that
he turn and live—Now&he pleasure ofthe
Lord, is that they should not die—then it
must be that they should live: That being
the fife) how can thf pleasure of the Lord
,&ser in the hands of the Son, if they do
not all live, as he gave them all to him ? And
the Father further promi sed him, that he
should fee the travail of his righteous foul,
and should be fatisfied. Now as the Father
gave them all to him, the travail of his foul
must be to save them all, for thus runs the
centrad : —Then how can this promise be
Fulfilled to bin?, that he shall be fatisfied, if
a °y are It could not possibly be. Thegon,
ji^teat a veneration for his Father's
fiddly relied oh his promise,
could not fail, that he ,ven
■rc^fr^is revolution, that be would
■rafyfalleoTace of man, though it were
■feife of the very last drop of his
Kid ! So be became the eternal
representative of the whole human
all are included and considered in
him, and have union with him, the fame as
:he J&' n the '" head and representative;
• ^<rf|^ffw>e buffed Jesus was conceived in
the ,wm)of the Yirgin Mary, th© whole (
^Afew^e conceived with him ; and when'
■Ken, they were all bora wjth him, when
"bapti^d of John, in Jordan, they were all
baptizetykh him, being buried with him ;
life, they foftred with him ; when he hung
on t^crofs, they hung with him ; when he
gave up the ghost, they gave up the ghost
(with him ; when he went to a fate of un
prison encand preached to the spirits in
prison, they were with him ; when he arose
from the dead, they arose with him, and
whence afeended to the right hand of his
Father, in glory,, thev by union with him,
afeended with him ; therefore, faith the A
<poftle, as by the offence of one, judgment
came on all men to condemnation, even so
the rigtiieoufnefs. of one,the free gift came
■Kall mertfou^ojunification of life—lt may
Eobjected here, how can this be, that the
™^man .race went through those operations
Lef&ty&v had an exigence ? Answer, It is
a, city^fyr thu they should obey, and rife
witin fad, as that they should disobey,
and fall with the other head ; they all hav
ing exWfotheeye of Deity,'from eter.
' nity, and fhir eternal'tind ihture fyte every
.way fi^ beihg made heir of

The inspired ^rir# informs us, that God

to us, by bon, whom be bath made heir
of all things, then all things are his, then he
is head over all things-the A,oftte' f% the
head of every man if Christ, and the head of
Christ if God. Is Christ the head of every
man ? then every man mull be the member#
of Christ : that being the case, can any of
the human race be Iqft, and Christ not lose a
phrt df his Embers ? , Nd: but CWfays,
of all that the Father ga^e me, I have loft
nothing, bMfr^ ^^
Further, all the Father giveth me, shall come

and fee if we can And him to be a God of

/brethren': moreover, whom he diTpred^f I
nate, them he ado called, and Whom he call
ed; them he alfp justified, and whom he j Uni
fied, them he also glorified —mien we may
reasonably, conclude, that G&I has predefti
nated ^ll ttehuman r,^ to be eternally hap
py, in his Son, Jesus Christ—well, he has
not only pre deline\ted every body, but he
has called every body.—The common lan- N
gingeefbar day is, that he has called {very
body with ah external call; bit there is an
internal call, that is peculiar to the ele&—
vbher.lthat comes, they must obey it. It is
true there i§ an external call to every ration
al creature ; the fun, moon and stars, and
all the works of creation, demonstrate to man
that there is a God ; so that they are all ex
ternally called. Now we will fee if inspira
tion gives us any account of an internal call,
that is to every one : The apostle fays, there
are divetfities of gifts by the fame spirit;
there are difference of administration, but
the fame Lord; there are divetfities of ope
rations, but it is the fame God, that worketh
all in all, to profit with all—Now if God be
an internalGod,then his Spirit is an internal
Spirit ; if so, then, as it is calling to every
creature, every creature is internally called :
therefore, they are without excuse, which
they Could dot be, if theywere not fufficieht
ly called. FREETHINKER.
