| 4 This would be to charge the Spirit with witnessing a falsehood. | 5 The Spirit ever witnesseth as the Covenant of Grace doth. | 6 The Spirit witnesseth in the same respect as the Father intended, and Christ purchased. | 7 The Evidence of spiritual Knowledge and Assurance of Faith, arise upon the same ground. | Hence see the excellency, and blessed condition of Believers. | 54 Confutation: it dasheth the dream of universal Redemption | 57 Objections Answered. | Exhortation, to provoke our hearts | 66 1 To get Faith. | 2 To have all at Christs Command, and lay out all for his praise. |

BOOK II On Matth. 1. 21. He shall save his People from […] sins. DOCT. Christ puts all his into possession of all […] Good that he hath purchased. | Two Branches. | Branch 1. Redemption and Application are of […] extent. For | […] 1 The Spirit applies Redemption to all, and […] such as the Father intended, and Christ […] sed it. | […] 2 Application was the end of purchasing. | 3 If the Application were narrower than the […] chase, then Christ should have died for many […] should have no benefit by his death. | Uses three, hence. | 1 Confutation of these false Opinions. | 1 Christ died for all. | 2 Christ died for all in point of Impetration, […] not of Application. | 3 That the Application of mercy depends upon liberty of mans will. | 2 Instruction: See the Reason why the work of […] cation prevails so powerfully, though sinners […] it. | Christ having redeemed them, will and doth […] that Redemption to them. | ⟨image 12⟩
