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.

The Accidents I mention,1 follow and attend the Person suffering, and not the Penalty it self. All Evils in any suffering as far as they are sinful, attend the Condition of the Parties that Suffer: Every thing usually recounted by those who make this and the like Exceptions, as far as they are purely penal, were on Christ.

5 He saith God had power so far to relax his own LAW, as to have the name of a Surety put into the Obligation, which before was not there, and then to require the whole debt of that Surety.
And what saith Grotius more then this? If the same things in the Obligation be paid, then the Law is Executed: and if Executed, then not Relaxed. Here he confesseth. That the Sureties name was not in the Obligation, and that God Relaxed the Law to put it in. Now the main business that Grotius drives at there, is to prove this Relaxation of the Law, and the non-Execution of it on the Offenders threatened. Thus far Mr Baxter.
