They labour tooth and nail to prove that Christ died for all: why no man denieth it. For this ⟨p. 142⟩is the voice of Scripture. 1They add hereunto, that he died for all, and every particular man. We deny not simply this their assertion, although we find not where the scripture speaketh on this man ner. They farther urge that he died for all and evr•e particular, both elect and reprobate for Cain & David, for Judas and Peter, for them which shall be damned in like sort as for them which shall be saved, without all respect either of their faith or infidelity. This is a hard saying. They run on still, and say he died for all and every of these not only in respect of the sufficiency of his sacrifice and satisfaction, but also in regard of the efficacy of the same.
