It is not any part of nature, or reliques of the light remaining in Adam after the fall, 144. It is diftinguished from the confcience, 345. It is not a common gift, as the heat of the fire, and outward light of the fun, as a certain preacher faid, 182. It may be refifted, 133, 137, 147, 148, 262, 263. By this light or feed, grace and word of God, he invites all, and calls them to falvation, 172, 173, 174. None of thofe to whom the hiftory of Chrift is preached are faved, but by the inward operation of this light, 175 to 181. It is Tmall in the first manifeftation, but it groweth, 176.

Minifler of the law, there was no doubtfulness concerning them under the law, 281, 305, 306. Their miniftry was not purely fpiritual; and while they performed it, they behoved to be purified from their outward pollutions, as now thofe under the gofpel from their inward, 280, 281, 306.

Reconciliation, how reconciliation with

Recreations; fee Plays.

Redemption is confidered in a two-
fold refpect; firft, performed by Christ
without us; and fecondly, wrought in
us, 204, 205. It is univerfal; God
gave his only begotten Son Jefus Chrift
for a light, that whofoever believeth
in him may be faved, 109, 160, 161.
The benefit of his death is not lefs
univerfal than the feed of fin, 108,
109. There is fcarce found any article
of the Chriftian religion that is fo
exprefly confirmed in the holy fcrip-
tures, 118 to 125. This doctrine was
preached by the fathers (fo called) of
the first fix hundred years, and is
proved by the fayings of fome, 125,
126, 127. Thofe that fince the time
of the reformation have affirmed it,
have not given a clear teftimony how
that benefit is communicated to all,
nor have fufficiently taught the truth,
because they have added the abfolute
neceflity of the outward knowledge of
the history of Chrift; yea, they have
thereby given the contrary party a
ftronger argument to defend their pre-
cife decree of reprobation, amorg
whom were the Remonftrants of Hol-
land, 110, 127 to 130. God hath
now railed up a few illiterate men
to be difpenfers of this truth, 131,
132, 180, 181. This doctrine fhew-
eth forth the mercy and justice of
God, 133, 151, 152. It is the foun-
dation of falvation, 133. It answers
to the whole tenor of the gofpel pro-
mifes and threats, ibid. It magnifies
and commends the merits and death
of Chrift, ibid. It exalts above all
the grace of God, ibid. It overturns
the falfe doctrine of the Pelagians,
Semi-Pelagians, and others, who ex-
alt the light of nature, and the free-
dom of man's will, 134. It makes
the falvation of man folely to depend
upon God, and his condemnation
wholly and in every refpect to be of
himself, ibid. It takes away all ground
of defpair, and feeds none in fecurity,

ibid.

ibid. It commends the Christian religion among infidels, ibid. It fheweth the wisdom of God, 135. And it is established, though not in words, yet by deeds, even by thofe minifters that oppofe this doctrine, ibid. It derogates not from the atonement and facrifice of Jefus Chrift, but doth magnify and exalt it, 141. There is given to every one (none excepted) a certain day and time of vifitation, in which it is poffible for them to be faved, 132, 153 to 160. The teftimony of Cyrillus concerning this thing, 159. It is explained what is understood and not understood by this day, 136, 137. To fome it may be longer, to others fhorter, ibid. Many may outlive their day of vifitation, after which there is no poffibility of falvation to them, ibid. | Some examples are alledged, ibid. The objections and thofe places of fcripture which others abufe, to prove that God incites men neceffarily to fin, are eafily folved, if they be applied to thefe men, after the time of their vifitation is paft, 137, 152, 153. There is given to every one a measure of the light, feed, grace, and word of God, whereby they can be faved, 132, 133, 152, 153, 166 to 174. Which is alfo confirmed by the teftimonies of Cyrill, and others, 164 to 173. What that light is; fee Light.-Many, though ignorant of the outward history, yet have been fenfible of the lofs that came by Adam, which is confirmed by the teftimonies of Plato and others, 191, 192. Many have known Christ within, as a remedy to redeem them, though not under that denomination, witnefs Seneca, Cicero, and others, 191, 192, 193. Yet all are obliged to believe the outward hiftory of Chrift, to whom God bringeth the knowledge of it, 142.

them, 148. They exalt too much the natural power and free will of man, and what they think of the faving light, 177. Their worship can easily be stopped, 373.

Reprobation; fee alfo Redemption. What abfolute reprobation is, is defcribed, 110, 111. Its doctrine is horrible, impious, and blafphemous, III to 116. It is alfo fo called by Lucas Ofiander, 128. It is a new doctrine, and Auguftine laid the first foundation thereof, which Dominicus, Calvin, and the fynod of Dort maintained, 112, 128, 129 Alfo Luther, whom notwithstanding Lutherans afterwards deferted, ibid. It is injurious to God, and makes him the author of fin; proved by the fayings of Calvin, Beza, Zanchius, Paraus, Martyr, Zwinglius, and Pifcator, 113. It makes the preaching of the gospel a mere mock and illufion, 115. It makes the coming of Chrift, and his propitiatory facrifice to have been a testimony of God's wrath, ibid. It is injurious to mankind, and makes his condition worfe than the condition of devils, beafts, Jews under Pharaoh, and the fame which the poets applied to Tantalus, 116.

Revelation, God always manifested himself by the revelations of the Spiit, 4, 29, 30, 62. They are made feveral ways, 4. They have been always the formal object of faith, and fo remain, ibid. 32 to 48. And that not only fubjectively, but alfo objectively, 48, 49, 50. They are fimply neceflary unto true faith, 4, 18, 54, 64. They are not uncertain, 52, 53, 54. Yea, it is horrible facrilege to accufe them of uncertainty, 44, 45. The examples of the Anabaptifts of Munfter do not a whit weaken this doctrine, 54, 57, 58, 61. They can never contradict the holy fcripture, nor found reafon, 4, 62, 86. They are evident and clear of themselves, nor need they another's teftimony, 4, 62, 63. They are the only, fure, certain, and unmoveable foundation of all Chriftian faith, 64. Carnal Chriftians judge them nothing neceffary; yea, they are hiffed out by the most part of men, 19. Of old none were esteemed Chriftians, fave those
