B. Have we not before proved, that your quarrel about conditional Decrees, is but a strife about words in the dark.
A. But they say Christ died not equally for all.
B. Do you, or dare you, say otherwise your selves? 1. You confess that his Death doth not equally save all: 2. You confess that from eternity God fore-knew who would believe and be saved, and who not. Now the question is of equality of benefit (before denied) and equality of Intention: And can you think that Christ, as God, at the time of his Death (or before) did equally intend or decree to save those that he fore-knew would neither believe nor be saved, and those that he knew would believe and be saved? You cannot, you do not imagine this.
A. We do not: But we say that as to Gods antecedent Will, he both elected and redeemed all alike; and the inequality is only in his consequent Will. But the Synodists say otherwise.
