ON THE EXTENT OF THE GOSPEL OFFER

[From _A Process in the Transylvania Presbytery_ (Lexington, Ky.,

1793)]

We believe, that as it respects the outward means, the ambassadors are

authorised to publish, proclaim, and declare the counsel of God, as it

stands connected with our salvation; and that all, who hear the sound,

have an equal and indefinite warrant, not only to embrace the means as

offered to them indiscriminately, by which comes faith, but have a

right to believe, that Christ, with all his benefits, is freely

offered to them, as sinners, without ever enquiring, into the secret

purposes of God, whether they are elect, or non-elect.
