1 What terms can be invented to hold out more expressly a Change,¹ and Alteration in the Unchangeable God, then these here used, I know not. 2 That the Will or ⟨p. 39⟩Mind of God, is altered from one respect towards us, to another, by the Consideration of the Death of Christ, is a low, carnal Conception. The Will of God is not moved by any thing without it self.^k Alterations are in the things altered, not in the Will of God concerning them. 3 To make this the whole Effect of the Death of Christ, (that God should determine, and promise to lay aside his wrath) is^l no Scripture discovery, either as to Name, or Thing. 4 The Purposes of God, which are all Eternal, and the Promises of God, which are all made in time, are very inconveniently ranged in the same Series. 5 That by the Death of Christ, Atonement is made, everlasting Redemption purchased, that God is Reconciled, a Right unto Freedom obtained, for those for whom he died, shall be afterwards declared. 6 If God doth only Purpose, and Promise to lay aside his Anger upon the Death of Christ,⁴ but doth it not until our actual believing; then, 1 our Faith is the proper procuring cause of Reconciliation; the Death of Christ, but a Requisite Antecedent, which is not the Scripture Phrase.
