And it is a doubt whether they that make all this Remission and Mercy to the Non-Elect, to befall them without the satisfaction of Christ, do not wrong Christ somewhat more than the Papists themselves (who in their vile Doctrine of Satisfaction and Indulgence) do ascribe all to Christ radically and remotely, and to man directly; saying that for temporal punishments Christ satisfieth in and by man, to whom he hath procured that power by his own immediate satisfaction. These give Christ some part of the honour, but the other none at all.

Besides, if it be said that all this can be given to the Non-Elect without Christs satisfying for them, then it would follow that it may be given to the Elect also without Christs satisfying for them, but all our Divines call that Impious and blasphemous (in their disputes against Purgatory, Indulgences, and humane Satisfactions.) Nay mark well, that the same conditional deed of Gift of Christ and his Benefits, which is uneffectual to Unbelievers, because they perform not the condition, is the same that becomes effectual to the Justification and Adoption of Believers, and that without any new additional real act of God.
