Next let us prove the consequence of the Major Proposition; and that thus. The thing conditionally given is Pardon purchased by Christs Blood, shed for the Sinner to whom it is Given: Therefore the gift presupposeth the shedding of his Blood for that Sinner.
The Antecedent hath two branches to be proved. 1. That the Pardon conditionally given to all, is a pardon purchased by Christs Blood. 2. That it is by Christs blood as shed for him to whom that pardon is given. For the first, there is no Pardon given any other way but by Christs blood shed, therefore this is from his Bloodshed.
1. If there be Remission which is not purchased by Christs blood shed, then there are two distinct ways of Remission; one by his blood, and another without. But the consequent is false. Ergo, &c.
2. If there be a remission without Christs bloodshed, then all remission might have been without it. But the consequent is false, else Christ Dyed needlessly.
2. If there be a remission without Christs bloodshed, then all remission might have been without it. But the consequent is false, else Christ Dyed needlesly.
