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.

4 The whole Penalty of Sin is Death, Gen. 2. 11. This Christ underwent for us. Heb. 2. 14. He tasted Death. And to die for another, is to undergo that Death which that other should have undergone, 2 Sam. 18. 33. It is true, this Death may be considered either in Respect of its Essence, (if I may be allowed so to speak) which is called the pains of Hell which Christ underwent, Psal. 18. 6. and 22. 1. Luke 22. 44. or of its Attendencies, as Duration and the like, which he could not undergo: Psal. 16. 20. Acts 2. So that whereas Eternal Death may be considered Two ways, either as such in potentia, and in its own nature, or as actually: So, our Saviour underwent it not in the latter, but first sense, Heb. 2. 9. 14. which by the Dignity of his Person, 1 Pet. 3. 18. Heb. 9. 26. 28. Rom. 5. 9. which raises the Estimation of Punishment, is equipotent to the other. There is a sameness in Christs sufferings with that in the Obligation in respect of Essence, and equivalency in respect of Attendencies.
