Universal redemption of mankind, by the Lord Jesus Christ stated and cleared by the…

Ninthly, The Intended effect is,

1. [Saving Faith] such as is not common to the Unjustified. This we express against the Pelagian Conceit, that giveth Justification and Salvation on condition of Faith, but not Faith it self, or at least not Certainly and Infallibly to any: we say, both that God Decreeth us to Faith as well as to Salvation by Faith, and that Christ dying did purpose Infallibly to bring his ⟨p. 484⟩chosen to Believe, and this as a fruit of his Death.

2. When we speak of [Justification] as the second Intended effect, we take it in Connection with the foregoing Faith, and subsequent Salvation; meaning that all the Elect that are at Age and Believe, and they only, have that Justification which follows their personal Faith. We own not their opinion that think that many persons that were never Elected to Salvation, were yet Elected to Faith and Justification, and do fall from these at last and perish: Tho' yet we reverence many that have maintained or owned this opinion, as precious Servants of God: and think not so hardly of their opinion, as of their's who maintain the Apostasy of the Elect, if now there be any such. Austin himself seems fully to go that way, who yet maintaineth the perseverance of all the Elect: And so doth Musculus and some others among the Reformed Divines called Calvinists: But for the Justification of Infants which hath no such connection to a personal Faith of their own, whether it may cease when they come to the use of Reason for want of personal faith to continue it (which was the Judgment of Davenant, Dr. Ward, Amyraldus, and many of our own) this I intend not here to determine or meddle with.
