Prop. XXXV. It being not the satisfaction it self that is tendered to Sinners, but the Fruit of it, It cannot by any Minister, nor will not by Christ, be offered (in those Fruits) to Men, if it were not first given and accepted for them as well as others (in Law Sense) by God, from the Redeemer. The Rector or Creditor must first receive the satisfaction, before a discharge can be offered to the offender or Debtor, on consideration of that satisfaction made and accepted: Much more, before Men can be condemned justly for refusing it. If the satisfaction were given and accepted for the Elect only, it could not in the Benefits which wholly presuppose it, be so offered to the Non-Elect, and they judged for refusing the benefit of a satisfaction never made for them.

Prop. XXXVI. Christs dying for Men, is Antecedent to their believing in him: Their believing presupposeth his dying for them: His Death saveth them because they believe; but he did not die for them because they believe, but they must believe because he dyed for them. The Act both as performed and commanded here presupposeth the Object. The Command therefore of believing presupposeth that Christ died for Men.
