Of the death of Christ, the price he paid, and the purchase he made.…
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. Owen, minister of the gospel.Of the death of Christ, the price he paid, and the purchase he made.

By the way I cannot close with Mr B. that this place to the Hebrews, and the other of Jeremiah, 31. 32, 33. do comprise but part of the Covenant, not the whole. God saying expressly, THIS IS MY COVENANT: To say it is not, is not to Interpret the Word, but to Deny it. It is true, it is not said that is the whole Covenant; no more is it that Christ is the Way, the Truth, and the Life only. As the want of that term of nestriction, doth not enlarge in that, no more doth the want of the note of Universality restrain in this. To say thus, because here is no Condition expressed, is [Greek or Hebrew]. If you mean such a Condition as God requireth of us, and yet worketh in us, it is there punctually expressed, with reference to the nature of the COVENANT, whereof it is a Condition, which is to effect all the Conditions thereof, in the Covenanters. This by the way, having resolvedly tied up my self from a Debate of those Positions which Mr B. dogmatizeth; though a large field, and easy to be walked in, lies open on every hand, for the scattering of many Magisterial Dictates, which with confidence enough are crudily asserted.
