1. Yet still this grants that Christ dyed with a special intent of saving those determinate Persons and them only, tho' they suppose this Intent to be upon a foresight of their own Faith, or Unbelief.

They that dare say, God could not have given any such Unbeliever Grace to Believe (infallibly,) do most audaciously abuse Gods power, goodness, and wisdom.
3. And doth not God do more for Peter, than for Judas, for the Elect than the Reprobate, antecedently to their Faith? all the Arminians are not bold enough to deny it.
