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.

CAP. V.
The Second Head about JUSTIFICATION before Believing.
The Second Head about JƲSTIFICATION before Believing.
THE next thing I am called into Question about, is Concerning actual, and absolute Justification before Believing: this Mr Baxter speaks to page 146, and so forwards: and First Answers the Arguments of Maccovius for such Justification, and then page 151 Applies himself to remove such further Arguments, and places of Scripture, as are by me Produced for the Confirmation of that Assertion.

Here perhaps I could have desired a little more Candour. To have an Opinion fastened on me, which I never once received, nor intimated the least Thought of, in that whole Treatise, or any other of Mine; and then my Arguments Answered as to such an end, and purpose, as I not once intended to promote by them, is a little to harsh Dealing. It is a facile thing, to Render any mans Reasonings exceedingly weak, and ridiculous, if we may impose upon them such, and such things to be proved by them, which their Author never once intended.
