Prop. XLIV. We Must therefore carefully distinguish between these three forementioned Covenants, and that universal Law or conditional Covenant of Grace made to all mankind; which is it by which Christ ruleth, and will judge us: And which is his Instrument of conferring Right, and so of pardoning, Justifying, and Adopting us.
Prop. XLV. Christ hath a threefold Kingdom: Of one all the World are Subjects, these he over-ruleth, and partly ruleth to restraint at least, by the Law of Nature. Of the other (the visible Church) all professed Christians are members: These he ruleth by his Law of Grace, and Spirit, but differently. Of the third (which is the Souls of believers) only true believers are members: These only Christ ruleth to Salvation; but the rest also, as Redeemer.
Prop. XLVI. When the Schoolmen and our own Divines say, that Christ dyed for all quoad sufficientiam pretii, but not quoad efficientiam; they cannot without absurdity be interpreted to mean, that his Death is sufficient for all if it had been a Price for them; and not a sufficient Price for them; For that were to contradict themselves. And so Christ could not be said to dye for Men quoad sufficientiam pretii. For it is neither for them, nor a Price, so considered.
