He next addeth [They say that Christ dyed for all mankind; You say not, but only for the Elect.] Repl. •till more confusion, do not your own Schoolmen •nd other Divines say that he dyed, for All men sufficiently, and for the Elect only effectually? And […] do we! where then is the difference? Not so much […] this point as in another conjunct: You say that ••s mans Free-will, that is the chief differencing •ause, in making Christs death effectual for the salvation of the Elect; and we deny it, and say that […] is Gods special Grace. 2. Do not you know that about this and the former point of Freewill, you differ as much among your selves, and that we say •o more then your Dominicans do (no nor so much […] the point of predetermination.) 3. Do you not •now that half the Protestants (those whom you •all Lutherans) do hold universal Redemption as well as you? Be it right or wrong therefore you •hould not impute the contrary to all.
