Universal redemption of mankind, by the Lord Jesus Christ stated and cleared by the…

And if so, then he might make his New Law which now he hath made, wherein he Repeals the bondage of Ceremonies and provideth a remedy against the curse, and whereby he gives pardon, and glory to all if they will receive him; But this may not be granted.

3. It is also proved hence, that Christs rule over all Men is founded in his satisfaction of Redeeming of those same Men; because when he is offered to them and they commanded to receive him, it is in the Relation of Lord Redeemer: All are commanded to take him for their Lord Jesus Christ, no Man is commanded to take him as Lord and King only, and not as Redeemer and Saviour: Nay, our Divines commonly make the act of justifying Faith to consist only in receiving Christ as Redeemer or satisfier or ⟨p. 197⟩Saviour, as saving us by his Blood from guilt; excluding the reception of him as King and Lord from being the justifying Act of Faith (wherein yet I am forced as zealously to contradict them as in almost any one point) only they confess it is of absolute necessity that Christ at the same time be received as Lord, when he is received as Redeemer. Now all Men are bound (that hear the Gospel) to believe to justification, that's generally granted: And if so, then all Men are bound to receive Christ as their Lord-Redeemer, and not as Lord to them and Redeemer to others: And if so, then doubtless Christ is their Lord-Redeemer. Now Redemption hath two parts, the first is the paying of the Price that is, satisfaction by dying for us: The 2d. is, applying or conferring the benefits of that satisfaction, by actual delivering or Redeeming from the guilt and power of Sin: The first is that chief part of Redemption from whence the whole is chiefly denominated. Now the first part is past and done whether Men believe or not and is not offered to be done on any condition, nor to be done for our Sins: Christ doth not say, I will pay the price of thy Redemption, if thou wil• take me for thy Redeemer, it is paid already, but it is the 2d. part of Redemption that is offered on condition. The first is general and absolute: The second is generally given on condition; and special as to the actual Collation by Christ and fruition by Man. So that when Christ saith to a Man, [take me for thy Redeemer] it is as much as to say, [take me for one that hath made satisfaction for thy Sins and if thou wilt receive me I will pardon and save
