And therefore we also may put such a Supposition. Do not those that oppose us in this, use so to Expound such Scriptures, frequently, both about Redemption, and when they Dispute against the Apostasy of the Saints; and say it is supposed only; but Suppositio nil ponit in esse: Moreover the Scripture makes it plain, that these Sins of Total Apostasy, and other unpardonable (because uncurable) Sins, are in them for whom Christ dyed: For they bring on themselves swift Destruction, by denying the Lord that bought them: They tread under foot the Blood by which they were Sanctified, and do despite to the Spirit of Grace; and so there remaineth ⟨p. 387⟩no more Sacrifice for (their) Sin, but a fearful looking for of Judgment. So that is is plain that Christ dyed not for all the Sins of all Men for whom he dyed, excepting by his new Law, the final Non-performance of the Conditions of the Promise, in whomsoever without exception. Yea, Christ's real giving all Men under his hand the Pardon of all their Sins, on Condition they Repent and Believe; shows beyond all doubt, that he bore on the Cross all their other Sins, but bore no Man's final Impenitency, or Unbelief.
