Commenting on the English Universalist Jane Lead (1624-1704) and the theology contained in her The Enochian Walks with God (1694), Robin A. Parry wrote that:
Like Origen, Lead also links the
phrase “eternal gospel”—which, according to Revelation 14:6, will be proclaimed
in the end times—with the restoration. She proclaims that the eternal gospel
will reach both the free and the captives, be they in their bodies or out of
them. The gospel will extend beyond the limits of time, Origen thought that the
relationship that exists between the Old and the New Testament is the same that
exists between the New Testament and the “eternal gospel” (more precisely, “gospel
of the aeon,” which will be revealed in the future aeon). In On First
Principles 3.6.3 and 6.7 Origen links the “eternal gospel” to the
acquisition of the likeness to God, the same connection that Lead draws in The
Enochian Walks with God. Lead relates the “eternal gospel” to the eventual restoration
in two further passages, making it possible, through demonstratable, that Origen’s
work was one source that inspired her (if not directly, then perhaps mediated
through another source). (Robin A. Parry, A Larger Hope? Universal Salvation
from The Reformation to the Nineteenth Century [Eugene, Oreg.: Cascade
Books, 2019], 63; "restoration" here refers to the doctrine of apokatastasis, not "restoration of the gospel")
