2 In a word: Take the suspending of the rigorous execution of the Law, for the Purpose of God, and his acting accordingly, not to leave his Elect under the actual Curse of it; so it is no Fruit of the Death of Christ, but an Issue of the same Grace; from whence also the Death of Christ proceeds.

:338p. 58

Take it for an actual freeing of their Persons from the Breach of it, and its Curse, and so it differs not from Justification, and is not the immediate effect of Christs Death in Mr Baxters Judgment.

:339p. 58

:340p. 58

Take it for the actual forbearance of God towards all the World, and so it falls under my Two first Arguments.
