Michael J. Lynch on John Davenant’s (1572–1641) Correction of Those Misreading Prosper of Aquitaine’s First Letter to Augustine

Another argument for reading Prosper as initially affirming that Christ died for the elect alone has been offered by Haykin:
In a letter to Augustine, he also challenged the view of the so-called Semi- Pelagians that “the propitiation which is found in the mystery of the blood of Christ was offered for all men without exception.” From the letter it is clear that Prosper does not agree with this statement, and Augustine does not refute Prosper in his reply. In his later career, Prosper appears to have either softened this commitment to definite atonement, or even rejected it in favor of an advocacy of the universal salvific will of God based on his reading of 1 Timothy 2:4.117
Haykin misreads Prosper’s Letter to Augustine. First, it is not “clear [that] Prosper does not agree with” the view of the semi-Pelagians that Christ died for all.118 Here is the fuller context of the Prosper quotation in question:
For this is their [viz., the semi-Pelagians’] argument and profession: that every human being has sinned by sinning in Adam, and no person is saved by their own works, but by regeneration through the grace of God: nevertheless, God put forward Christ as a propitiation which is in the sacrament of the blood of Christ for all human beings without exception in order that whosoever wishes to come to faith and baptism is able to be saved.119
In the first sentence, which begins an enumeration of the semi-Pelagian positions on grace, Prosper says that the semi-Pelagians also teach that “every human being has sinned in Adam, and no person is saved by his or her own works, but by regeneration through the grace of God.” Are we to believe that just because Prosper lists this as a position of his opponents that he must disagree with it? Haykin assumes, following Blacketer, that what Prosper explains as the view of his opponents is rejected by Prosper. Yet Davenant himself warned against Haykin’s false assumption:
Therefore, it should be observed that when Hilary and Prosper are noting the opinion of the semi- Pelagians, many things are mixed together, some of which agree with the truth, and others savor of error. When, therefore, they record that the semi-Pelagians declared that all people sinned in Adam, and that our Lord Jesus Christ died for the whole human race, and some other things, they do not note these ideas as the errors of the semi-Pelagians, but in order to show how far they agree with the orthodox, and so that they may explain the whole order and connection of the semi-Pelagian doctrine. Those, then, greatly err who think that all the things which are attributed to the semi-Pelagians by Prosper and Hilary are erroneous and Pelagian.120
Furthermore, Haykin fails to address the remarks Prosper gives regarding the semi-Pelagian opinion later on in the letter.121 As Davenant noted, what Prosper rejects is not the position that Christ died for all. Rather, the objection seems to be the attached condition, “even if he lives his whole life in complete estrangement from [God],” coupled with a denial of unconditional predestination, resulting in a predestination to faith which is dependent upon free choice.122

Haykin at one point confesses, “Prosper admitted that Christ may be said to have died ‘for all’ because he took on the human nature that all humanity shares and because of the ‘greatness and value’ of his redeeming death,” while also teaching that “Christ ‘was crucified only for those who were to profit by his death,’ that is, only the elect.”123 This position, ironically enough, sounds quite similar to the position Davenant himself would go on to defend in De Morte Christi.

David Allen also recently noted the following:
Augustine asserted that Christ died for the sins of Judas, and in many places in his writings he asserted that Christ died for the sins of all humanity. Some have maintained that Prosper of Aquitaine, early in his career, taught “definite atonement,” based on an early letter that he wrote to Augustine (e.g., Michael A. G. Haykin, “‘We Trust in the Saving Blood’: Definite Atonement in the Ancient Church,” in Gibson and Gibson, From Heaven He Came, 72–73). But they falsely assume that just because Prosper attributed to the Massilians (or the so-called Semi-Pelagians) the belief that “Our Lord Jesus Christ . . . has died for the whole of mankind [pro uniuerso autem humano genere mortuum esse dominum nostrum Iesum Christum]” (Prosper of Aquitaine, “Letter to Augustine,” in Defense of St. Augustine, trans. P. De Letter (New York: Newman Press, 1963), 43; Letter 225.6), he therefore must have disagreed with it. This is clearly a false inference since he also attributed to them the belief that “Every man has sinned in Adam, and no one is reborn and saved by his own works but by God’s grace” (Prosper, Defense of Augustine, 36; Letter 225.3). Augustine and Prosper both believed that. John Davenant dealt with this erroneous inference long ago. See John Davenant, “A Dissertation on the Death of Christ,” in An Exposition of the Epistle of St. Paul to the Colossians, 2 vols., trans. J. Allport (London: Hamilton, Adams, 1832), 2:328. See also Michael J. Lynch, John Davenant’s Hypothetical Universalism: A Defense of Catholic and Reformed Orthodoxy. Oxford Studies in Historical Theology (New York: Oxford University Press, 2021), 38–40.

Petrus van Mastricht (1630–1706) on the Threefold Love of God Toward His Creatures

The threefold love of God toward his creatures

IX. From this emerges a threefold love of God, that is, toward his creatures: (1) a universal love (Ps. 104:31; 145:9), through which he created, conserves, and governs all things (Ps. 36:6; 147:9). (2) A common love, extending itself particularly to men, certainly not to each and every individual, but yet indiscriminately to anyone, as much the reprobate as the elect, of which kind is also the love that dispenses the benefits that are mentioned in Hebrews 6:4–5 and 1 Corinthians 13:1–2. (3) A love proper to the elect, by which he dispenses saving benefits to them, benefits that accompany salvation (Heb. 6:9), which accordingly are different from nature and natural benefits. For it is most terrible to confuse nature and grace. This love is again on the one hand called an objective love, by which such goods are dispensed that indeed concern man and are aimed at him, but yet do not enter him: of such kind are the goods of election, redemption through the satisfaction of Christ, and calling to salvation through the proclamation of the gospel. Or on the other hand, it is a subjective love, which, so to speak, enters man himself, as regeneration, conversion, sanctification, and union and communion with Christ. Both of these are especially particular and proper to the elect (Rom. 8:29–30; John 1:12).
Petrus van Mastricht, Theoretical-Practical Theology, ed. J. R. Beeke, trans. T. M. Rester and M. T. Spangler (Grand Rapids, MI: Reformation Heritage Books, 2019), 2:351. Elsewhere, he said, “God loves the elect more than the reprobate.” Ibid., 2:118.

Note: Most likely, by the “common love” of God, van Mastricht has in view the love within the gathered assembly of the church, which is not extended to those outside of it. Within the church, in his view, there are elect and reprobate, and the benefits mentioned in Heb. 6:4–5 and 1 Cor. 13:1–2 are special benefits received by all in the assembly of the church. Nevertheless, there is a “universal love” that pertains to all of God's creatures, which does include those outside of the church. God's universal love, by implication, extends to all reprobates outside of the church, while God's common love extends "to anyone, as much the reprobate as elect" who are within the church.

Here are some related quotes:
There is in God a universal or common love by which he is inclined to do good to every creature, and so then also to man (Ps. 36:6; 1 Tim. 4:10), by external and common benefits (Ps. 17:14), and there is also a special, saving love by which he dispenses the benefits that accompany salvation, which have an unbreakable connection with salvation (Heb. 6:9).
Ibid., 2:365.
XL. Third, zeal for exploring, if we observe some propensity of God toward us, some love, grace, or mercy, whether is it only that universal propensity which is inclined to beasts as well as men (Ps. 36:6), or that common propensity which is inclined to the reprobate as well as the elect. For since (1) such great affinity is at times discerned between nature and grace, an affinity by which, in the external exercise of religion and virtues, nature frequently exceeds grace, as it is evident not only in certain of the more honorable pagans—Plato, Cato, Aristides, Scipio, Seneca, and others—but also in the church, for example, in the Pharisee and the tax collector (Luke 18:10–14); since also (2) between common and saving grace there is sometimes such great agreement, as is evident by examples (Isa. 58:2; 1 Cor. 13:1); since (3) in these things, so many and such great men have deceived themselves, and myriads of pseudo-Christians still day by day deceive themselves, taking a more agreeable and humane nature for the grace of regeneration, and common gifts for signs of saving grace (James 1:26–27; Luke 18:11; Rev. 3:17), and (4) they have not deceived themselves without danger, indeed, not without eternal destruction—for all these reasons, there is nothing more necessary than to distinguish here the things that are excellent (Phil. 1:9–10) and to make our calling and election sure, and our every saving grace (2 Peter 1:10).
Ibid., 2:378–379.
It is a distinguishing love: God loves and preserves all his works (Ps. 36:6), but in a different manner and degree (Rom. 9:13). He loves them as the works of his hands, but he does not love them as sons. And thus our love toward God should also be a distinguishing love: we should love all things on account of God, as the works of God, as the image of God, but God on account of himself, above all things (Ps. 73:25).
Ibid., 2:536.

Charles Ferme (1566–1617) on Romans 2:4

4. “Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness, and forbearance, and long-suffering.” The apostle here makes a transition to the second argument, by which he proves, that the wise men among the Gentiles were likewise inexcusable before God, by proleptically anticipating the objections which they would be ready to start:—‘God has hitherto borne with me, and I have had experience of his goodness; therefore I will make amends to him by reproving others, and although I do the same things myself I shall escape his judgment.’ To this the apostle replies:—‘Nay! thou who doest the same things, for which thou judgest another, thou art just so much the more liable to the judgment of God, that hitherto God has been good to thee. The apostle reasons from the effect of his having so long experienced the long-suffering of God, which effect is his despising God’s long-suffering and goodness; this is the first argument of the reply: —‘Thou despiseth the long-suffering of God; therefore God’s long-suffering; renders thee so much the more inexcusable.’ “Not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance;” this is the second argument of the reply, drawn from the end of God’s goodness to the wicked, which is illustrated by their own ignorance of it. The goodness of God towards the wicked should lead them to repentance; or which is the same thing,—‘He is good to thee,’ says the apostle, ‘that he may afford thee time and move thee to repent; therefore as thou dost not repent, thou art inexcusable, and shalt not escape his judgment.’ The apostle therefore replies to the objection by denying the consequence,—‘It is true God has been good to thee, but it does not follow from that that thou shalt escape his judgment;’ and this negation of the consequence he proves by two arguments; the one taken from the conduct of the wicked man—“thou despisest the goodness of God;” the other from the end of God’s goodness, which is the wicked man’s “repentance.”
