Of the death of Christ, the price he paid, and the purchase he made. Or, the satisfaction, and merit of the death of Christ cleared, the universality of redemption thereby oppugned: and the doctrine concerning these things formerly delivered in a treatise against universal redemption vindicated from the exceptions, and objections of Mr Baxter. / By J.

So that this Gracious Acceptance, is not an accepting of that which is less in value then what is in the Obligation, but a free Constitution appointing another thing to the End, which before was not appointed.
