Prop. XLVI. A Christ-Redeemer, that hath satisfied justice, is the object of Commanded Faith, and presupposed to it: And he that commandeth all Men to believe in Christ a one that hath redeemed them or satisfied for their Sins, doth hereby assert the truth of this supposition.

Prop. XLVII. The constitution of Christs Kingdom containeth many great universal mercies, Antecedent to those that are given conditionally by his Covenant or Law of Grace; Such as are the giving of the Covenant it self, and the Institution of Sacraments, Ordinances, Officers, &c. Therefore as to be a subject is Antecedent to the being of an Obedient or a Rewarded Subject; so Christs Antecedent mercies of Redemption, extend to more than his consequent mercies do, which suppose the performance of the conditions of his Covenant.
Prop. XLVIII. The foundations of Christs Kingdom being first laid in his undertaking, Performances, Death, Resurrection, and Legislation or Covenant-making; so there are three distinct states of his subjects: 1. The Antecedent state (Antecedent to any act of their own) is to be subditi obligati obliged subjects. 2. The mediate state is to be consenting obedient subjects, or rebellious and disobedient. 3. The consequent state is to be justified rewarded subjects, or Condemned Subjects. And it will not follow that Christ never brought men ⟨p. 46⟩into the first condition, because he never brought them into the last.
