1. It either denieth the Universal Promise or Conditional Gift of Pardon and Life to all men if they will believe, and then it overturneth the substance of Christs Law and Gospel promise: or else it maketh God to give conditionally to all men a Pardon and Salvation which Christ never purchased, and without his dying for men.
2. It maketh God either not to offer the effects of Christs satisfaction (Pardon and Life) to all, but only to the Elect: or else to offer that which is not, and which he cannot give.
3. It denieth the direct object of Faith, and of Gods offer, that is Christum qui satisfecit, [a Christ that hath satisfied.]
4. It either denieth the Non-Elects deliverance from that flat necessity of perishing, which came on man for sinning against the first Law, by its remediless unsuspended obligation, (and so neither, Christ, Gospel or Mercy, had ever any nature of a remedy to them, nor any more done toward their deliverance then towards the deliverance of the Devils:) Or else it maketh this deliverance and remedy to be without satisfaction by Christ for them.
