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

So that the Argument will hold good • jure novo Dominii & Imperii, from Christs new propriety in and Rectorship over Men to his Redeeming them by his Blood: But so it will not from that kind of Dominion which Christ hath over Brutes, or that kind of Rule that he hath over Angels or Devils, to his Redemption of them; And yet for Brutes, as they suffered for the sake of Man, and as they shall be restored from their suffering for the use and sake of Man, so the same Blood which purchased Mans Restoration, did remotely and collaterally purchase theirs.
