[The following is the entire title of this truly great and learned work. In the original edition it occupies nearly the whole of a folio page. It was too long to be prefixed to the present octavo edition; and is inserted here, that the reader may have, without mutilation, one of the most original and argumentative treatises in the English language.]

OR

REDEMPTION REDEEMED.

Wherein the Most Glorious Work of the

REDEMPTION

Of the World by Jesus Christ, is by Expressness of Scripture, clearness of Argument, countenance of the best Authority, as well Ancient as Modern, Vindicated and Asserted in the Just Latitude and Extent of it, according to the Counsel and most Gracious Intentions of God, against the incroachments of later times made upon it, whereby the unsearchable Riches and Glory of the Grace of GOD therein, have been, and yet are, much obscured, and hid from the eyes of many.

Together with a sober, plain, and through Discussion of the great Questions relating hereunto, as viz. concerning

ELECTION AND REPROBATION,

The Sufficiency, and Efficacy of the Means vouchsafed unto Men by GOD, to Repent and Beleeve; concerning the Perseverance of the Saints, and those who do Beleeve; concerning the Nature of GOD, his manner of Acting, his Intentions, Purposes, Decrees, &c. the Dependency of all Creatures or second Causes upon Him, as well

in their Operations, as simple Existencies, or Beings, &c.

The Decision of all these Questions founded upon the good Word of God, interpreted according to the generally received Doctrine, concerning the Nature and Attributes of GOD, the manifest Exigency of the Words, Phrases, coherencies, in the respective passages hereof relating to the said Questions, as also (for the most part) according to the Judgment and Sence of the best

Expositors, as well Modern, as Ancient.

With three Tables annexed for the Readers accommodation.

By JOHN GOODWIN, A servant of God in the Gospel of his dear Son.

The Lord said to Eliphaz the Temanite, My wrath is kindled against thee, and thy two Friends: for ye have not spoken of me the thing that is right, as my servant Job hath.
