Ramsay believed in universal salvation. In this work he writes: "God's primitive, positive, ultimate and absolute designs cannot be eternally frustrated [..]: therefore before the general re-establishment of lapsed beings, the earth and all its inhabitants are to be restored to their primitive, paradisiacal beauty, perfection and happiness". - Vol. 1, page 438.
