Now hence this Author frames this inference, And consequently (I say) so much as sufficed by their good husbandry, to have converted & saved them; For that grace leaves none unexcusable which is insufficient to convert them. Now to this I answer, If our Divines had acknowledged any such consequence to be just, they had a fair calling to make profession of it at that time. But consider we the rest of their Thesis delivered in the same place. The first is this, Ex speciali amore & intentione tum Dei patris tum Chisti, mortuus est Christus pro electis, ut illis remiffionem peccatorum & salutem aeternam reipsa obtineret, & infallibiliter conferret. It was of the intention and special love of God the Father and God the Son, that Christ should dye for the elect, effectually to procure for them, and infallibly to confer on them pardon of sin, ⟨p. 196⟩and salvation. The second is this, Ex hoc eodem amore per & propter meritum & intercessionem Christi dantur iisdem electis fides, & perseverantia, caeteraque omnia per quae conditio foederis impletur, & beneficium promissum, id est, vita aeterna infallibiliter obtinetur: out of the same love through and for Christ are given, to the same elect, faith and perseverance, and all other things, whereby the condition of the covenant is fulfilled. The third is this, Deus lapsi generis humani misereatus, misit filium suum qui seipsum dedit pretium redemptionis pro peccatis totius mundi; God having compassion on mankind fallen, sent his Son who gave himself, a price of redemption for the sins of the whole World: this I understand of the sufficiency of the price given, whereby it comes to pass, that Christ is remedium universo generi humano applicabile: as I have received from the mouth of one of those, and a principal one, in such sort, that if all the World should believe, all the World should be saved: now mark I pray, how they carry themselves in the explication of this Thesis, and what difference they put between Christs dying for the elect, and his dying for others. Sic ergo pro omnibus mortuus est ut omnes & singuli mediante fide possint virtute [Greek or Hebrew] hujus remissionem peceatorum & vitam aeternam consequi: Sic pro electis est mortuus ut ex merito mortis ejus secundum aeternū Dei beneplacitum specialiter illis destinato & fidem infallibiliter obtineant & vitam aeternā.
