"7. It is not fit Christ should die for all, seeing his Father elected not all, and gave not all to him; for Christ to redeem more, were to disobey his Father's Will, and not to do it. If any say God elected all, it's most absurd to talk of choosing some from among many others. When a Man takes the whole Number, this is no Election: or if any say that Election is Conditional, provided a Man will, this also is no Election; for if Election be upon the Condition of Man's free Will, one Man is not chosen and not another; but all have equal previous Designation to the End, and so there is no Election at all."

"8. All that Christ shed his Blood for, he loved with a Conjugal Love; and therefore must be married to them in Application, and they must necessarily be saved."1
"9. The Works peculiarly ascribed to each Person, according to their Divine Order and Manner of working, are of equal Extent; whom the Father elects, the Son redeems, and the Holy Ghost sanctifies."
