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.

For Partional Justification, Evangelical Justification, ⟨p. 33⟩whereby a Sinner is completely Justified, that it should proceed Believing, I have not only not Asserted, but Positively Denied, and disproved by many Arguments: To be now traduced as a Patron of that Opinion, and my Reasons for it, Publicly Answered, seems to me something Uncouth: However I am Resolved not to interpose in other mens Disputes, and Differences, yet lest I should be again, and further mistaken in this, I shall briefly give in my Thoughts to the whole Difficulty: after I have discovered, and discussed the Ground, and Occasion of this mistake.

In an Answer to an Argument of Grotius about the Satisfaction of Christ, denying that by it we are ipso facto delivered from the Penalty due to Sin: I Affirmed that by his Death, Christ did actually, or ipso facto deliver us from the Curse, by being made a Curse for us; and this is that, which gave occasion, to that Imputation before mentioned.
To clear my mind in this, I must desire the Reader to consider, That my Answer is but a Denial of Grotius his Assertions: In what kind, and respect Grotius doth there deny that we are ipso facto delivered by the Satisfaction of Christ, in that sense, and that only, do I affirm that we are so: otherwise there were no Contradictions between his Assertion, and mine, not speaking ad idem, and eodem respectu.
