Argum. I. If Christ Died with a Special Intention to bring his chosen Infallibly to Believe, and to give them Justification and Glorification on condition of believing, then he died with a special Intention ⟨p. 486⟩of bringing infallibly certain chosen persons, to Faith, Justification and Salvation. But the Antecedent is true, therefore so is the consequent.
That which we have to prove therefore is, that he had a Special Intent to give Faith to some Infallibly, and then there will be no more question of Justification and Glorification. And that I prove thus.
Whatever Grace Christ giveth absolutely and infallibly, that he purposed before to give absolutely and infallibly. But Christ giveth the Grace of Faith (and Repentance) to his chosen (and them only) absolutely and infallibly. Ergo, &c.
By [giving] in this Argument I mean, the actual Causation or Collation of faith it self, and not merely a Legal giving a right to it, of which anon.
