'Ye are COMPLETE in him, which is the Head of All principality and power.'-Col. ii. 8.

'Arise, O God, for thou shalt Inherit ALL NATIONS.'-Ps. xxxviii. 8.

'Christ is Lord over [Owner of] ALL, God blessed forever.'-Rom. ix. 5.

'NONE of us liveth to himself, and NO MAN dieth to himself; for whether we live, we live unto the Lord; and whether we die, we die unto the Lord.

'Jesus Christ is Lord [Owner] of ALL.'-Acts. x. 36. 'ALL are yours, [the elects'] whether Paul, or Appollos, or Cephas, or the World, or life, or death, or Things present, or Things to come,-ALL ARE YOURS, and YE ARE CHRIST'S, and Christ is God's.'-1 Cor. iii. 22.

To thy exalted Son,

That through All Nations of the Earth
Thy word of Life shall run?
Are not the souls of all mankind,
Beneath the arch of heav'n,
To the dominion of Thy Son
Without exception giv'n ?"

COMPLETION OF THE ARGUMENT.

Do the Scriptures countenance the dreadful Idea, that an almost infinite number of the Souls which have been given to Christ shall ultimately be wrested from him, and become the eternal Property of the Savage King of Hell and Misery?

ANSWER.

'I am persuaded, [said Paul,] that he is able to KEEP that which is committed to him.'-2 Tim. i. 12.

'I give unto them eternal life. They shall never perish, neither shall any pluck them out of my hands.'-John x. 28.

My Father which gave them me is Greater than All; and None is able to pluck out of my Father's hands.'-John x. 29. Is it not folly to suppose that God, who is the Creator, and consequently the Owner, of all the universe, can ever LOSE anything? or to believe that He, beside Whom there is no God else, is not the Sovereign Possessor of millions of His created intelligences, who have been snatched

from His power and paternal care by the King Monster of Iniquity and Woe, and never can be reclaimed?

'He shall LOSE NOTHING of ALL, which the Father hath given him.'-John vi. 39.

He shall give eternal life to the 'All Flesh' which the Father hath given him.-John xvii. 2.

'ALL, that the Father giveth me, SHALL COME TO ME.'-John vi. 37.

'I will draw ALL MEN unto me.'-John xii. 32.

"Praise him whose reign of truth and grace

Shall evermore increase,

Till every soul of all the race,

Shall own him Prince of Peace.

When finish'd is his plan of Love,
All sin and ill shall cease.

And every tongue, in heav'n above,
Shall own him Prince of Peace."

PROPOSITION TWELFTH.

In view of the Eventual Sanctification of All Mankind, the Gospel regards the common DISTINCTIONS between Man and Man, to be ABOLISHED.

PROOFS.

'THE COMMON SALVATION.'-Jude 3. In the same verse the author of this epistle calls this doctrine, 'The Faith which was once delivered to the Saints."

'Ye who were sometimes FAR OFF are MADE NIGH by the blood of Christ; for he is our PEACE, [the Mediator of Universal Reconciliation,] who hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us.'-Eph. ii. 13, 14.

'God hath showed me THAT I SHOULD NOT CALL ANY MAN COMMON OR UNCLEAN.'-Acts x. 28.

'Who maketh thee to differ from Another? and what hast thou that thou did'st not also receive? and if thou did'st RECEIVE it, why dost thou glory as if thou had'st NOT Received it?'-1 Cor. iv. 7.

'God hath made of ONE BLOOD all nations that dwell on

all the face of the earth,'-and all are His offspring,-Acts xvii. 26, 29.

"The Scripture hath concluded ALL under Sin.'-Gal. iii, 22. 'God hath concluded ALL in Unbelief.-Rom. xi. 32. 'Behold, ALL THINGS are clean unto you.'-Luke xi. 41. Every Creature of God is good.'-1 Tim. iv. 4. Let it be noticed that these passages are all radically at variance with the doctrine of total depravity.

'And Peter saw Heaven opened, and a vessel descending unto him like unto a great sheet, knit together at the four corners, and let down to the earth; whereon were All Manner of four-footed Beasts of the earth, and wild-fowls, and creeping things, and fowls of the air, [clean and unclean beasts 'OF THE EARTH' observe,-yea, ‘ALL MANNER' of them, -representing all kinds of sinners, all forms and degrees of unbelief, and mark, these were let down FROM HEAVEN.] And there came a Voice to him,-Rise, Peter, kill and eat. But Peter said, Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten anything that is common or unclean. And the Voice spake unto him again the second time,-WHAT GOD HATH CLEANSED, THAT CALL NOT THOU COMMON. This was done three times. AND ALL WERE DRAWN UP AGAIN INTO HEAVEN.'-Acts xi. 7--10.

"There is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free, male nor female, but are All ONE in Christ Jesus..'-Gal. iii; Col. iii.

Having abolished in his flesh THE ENMITY [the grounds of the jealousy and selfishness which have obtained in the world, teaching free grace and a common destiny for all nations and kindreds, as well as their common beginning and common heavenly care,] even the law of commandments and ordinances, [which recognised such human distinctions, and God a Respector of Persons and Nations,] for to make IN HIMSELF, OF TWAIN, ONE NEW MAN, [of which Christ himself is the Head,] so making Peace; and that he might Reconcile both [Jews and Heathen, i. e. in the scriptural sense, Believers and Unbelievers, the Righteous and the Unrighteous, these two grand divisions of mankind,] unto God in ONE BODY, by the cross, having slain the enmity there
