An Apology for the True Christian Divinity: Being an Explanation and Vindication of the Principles and Doctrines of the People Called Quakers

THE FIFTH PROPOSITION.

God, out of his infinite love, who delighteth not in the death of a sinner, but that all should live and be saved, hath so loved the world, that he hath given his only Son a light, that whosoever believeth in him should be saved; who enlighteneth every man that cometh into the world, and maketh manifest all things that are reproveable, and teacheth all temperance, righteousness, and godliness: ⁶⁶Ezek. xviii. 23., Isa. xlix. 6., John iii. 16. & i. 9., Tit. ii. 11., Eph. v. 13., Heb. ii. 9. and this light enlighteneth the hearts of all in a day, ⁷⁷Pro tempore, for a time. in order to salvation, if not resisted: nor is it less universal than the seed of sin, being the purchase of his death, who ⁸⁸tasted death for every man; for as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.">1 Cor. iv. 22.
