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.

Let the Reader then here Observe:
1 That our Deliverance is to be referred to the Death of Christ, according to its own Causality; that is, as a Cause Meritorious: Now such Causes do actually, and ipso facto produce all those Effects, which immediately slow from them; not in an immediation of Time, but Causality. Look then what Effects do follow, or what things soever are procured by them, without the interposition of any other Cause in the same kind, they are said to be procured by them actually, or ipso facto.

2 That I have abundantly proved in the Treatise mentioned, That if the Fruits of the Death of Christ, be to be communicated unto us upon Condition, and that Condition to be among those Fruits, and be it self to be absolutely communicated upon no Condition, then all the Fruits of the Death of Christ, are as absolutely procured for them, for whom he Died, as if no Condition had been prescribed; for these things come all to one.
