And in rar bearts falbis inspiring grace.

But would on nil eternal life bestow, ^

And all the dead Jhall rise at bis command ;

In which the seventh might, trump /ball round ;
When sun, moon, stars, shall fade tend difaptear,*
And tenfoldthunders rockearth's base profound.

When all these elements shall thus decay ;
May we not fed bis-dreadful ire or rod,

VERITAS centra FREE THINKER.
FOR TH^MIRROR.
A Gain, you endeavour to ftreogth
-1 en your cause by the words of
the Apostle, 2 Cor. 5. —God hath
given to us the ministry of reconcilia-1
tion, viz. that God wai in thrift rec
onciling the world to himfelf, not im^
puting their trespasses unto them—
The true import of this is, that God^
was by the Apoftlei, and it by his
miaißer'a offering through Christ
terms of peace, and reconciliation to
mankind—upon their being cordially
reconciled, their fin# are not imputed
—But does it here follow, that all
men will comply with those terms,
and be actually reconciled ?—Wait
the Apoftle'i ministry attended with
this universal fuccefl? No—he ex
prefily asserts in this fame epistle, that,
to some his ministry was a favour of
death unto death- —Here was no rec
onciliation of a part of hi, hearers, and
therefore no salvation to such. They
were hardened, pad obUinately re
jetted the gospel to their spiritual and
everlasting death.—This proves the
falfehood of the Universal fcheme—
.for, if there were some who perished
under so able and faithful a preacher
as St, Paul, what numbers must we sup
pose have perished under the preach
ing of the word ever since—and how
Mr. F. T. will you answer this plain
testimony of -the inspired penman ;
that, to some his ministry was a fa
vour of death unto death—This would
riot be, if they were all saved.— Will
you shut your eyes against the clearest
light, and determine not to be con
vinced by the most pointed declara
tions ?— This must evidence a great
degree of prejudice agaioft the trutb.
—Several passages you adduce from
Rom. 1— AM we know, that all
things work together for good to
them that love God ; ^to them that
are called according to his purpose—
This would avail, could you prove
that all men truly lored God ; but
this is not the case-1 kriow you, fays
Christ to the Jews, that ye have not
gQ#'^m:
^!#tl^, ^J#M
, me carnal mine
ninefs in the above paflage, is riot in- 1
I words—Whom he did lonktiow, he
lalfo did predeftinste, to be conformed
to the image of his lon ; that he
might be the firft born among many
brethren—Moreover, whom he did
predeftinate, them he also called ; and
whom he called, them he atfo juftifi
ed ; and whom he juftified, them he
also glorified,—-From these words you
conclude, all mankind are foreknown,
—all predeftip&ted,=all called, —all
juftified,—all glorified—confequently
all ate now in heaven— or shall infal
libly get there—Happy ftate!—But,
is this glorious scheme true, or is it
falfe P—Methinks k is worth while to
spend a little time to examine— be
cause, if the fchenre Should not be so
wide as we imagine, and we Should be
left without its lines, our mistake
would be fatak
Let us begin with the 6rft line,~-
whom he did foreknow—The fore
knowledge of God, is a long line in
deed ; ihould we extend it to its ut
most length, it would equally prove,
that oxen, and horses, and birds, are
to be saved, as well as mankinds for
God equally foreknows them ; yea, it
would prove that all the devils are to
be > saved, because God foreknows
them— It is a common tule in reason
ing, that an argument that proves too
much, proves nothing.—Therefore,
for you, Mr. F. T. to argue, that all
mankind will be finally saved, because
foreknown by God, proves nothing
, at all—because, it equally proves, that
every thing else will be saved, as well
as men— We must then, to be con
sistent, seek a more limited sense, to
the word foreknowledge.
This limitation is plainly pointed
Out, by the word whom— whom, is a
relative term, and refers to some an
tecedent in the context= This ante
cedent is the Saints— The children of
God—Those that love God—The
called according to his purpofe—of
whom, the Apostle had just been dip
coursing——The relative cannot be
more extensive than the antecedent,
according to grammatical contrac
tion—Therefore, those who are here
foreknown, in the sense of the Apos
tle, are not all mankind, but those,
lad those only, who were then Saints ;
or should be such in time, according
to the divine purpose.
The firft link of the chain is limit*
ed, consequently all the rest must be ;
for, it is only those who are fore
known, in the above sense, that are
predeftinated—only those predeftinat
^3, effeQually called—only those, ef
fe&ually called, juftified—only those
juftified, that shall be finally glorified.
The fame limitation is kept up thro'
the whole— Therefore, this pillar of
Universalism must fall to the ground.
I shall close witha note of admira
tion, that you, Mr. F. TUhould be
so beside yourfeff, as to in lift predtftF
nation, or election, under your ban
ner, a doctrine so boftite to your
fchethe, that in the^vefy nature of it,
implies^ pari, and not a whole— The
moment you apply it to a whole, the
idea is totally loft.—l think you have
behaved as cruelly to poor election,
as an enemy who takes a captive, and 1
compels him to fight against his own
friends—and as kale will be the final
advantage. VERITAS.
