Christ hath so far dyed for all, as that none shall perish for want of a sufficiency in the satisfaction made; He hath purchased and given for all, a grant or gift of himself, with Pardon, Justification, Adoption and right to glory, on condition of acceptance (where the Gospel cometh.) In a word, so that none of them shall perish, that do not finally refuse the Grace and Salvation offered ⟨p. 65⟩them.
