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.

2 Is very improperly ascribed unto God. Lawyers tell us, That all stipulations about things future, are either sub Conditione, or sub Termino. Stipulations or Engagements upon CONDITION. that are properly so, do suppose him that makes the Engagement to be altogether uncertain of the Event thereof.
Stipulations sub Termino, are absolute to make out the things engaged about, at such a Season. Upon the very Instant of such a Stipulation as this, an Obligation follows as to the thing, though no Action be allowed to him to whom it is made, until the Term and Time appointed be come.
In those Stipulations that are under CONDITION, no Obligation ariseth at all from them, it being wholly uncertain whether the Condition will be fulfilled or no. Only in Two Cases doth such an Engagement bring on an immediate Obligation.
1 If the Condition required be in things necessary and unalterable: As if Cajus should engage himself into Tilius to give him an 100. l. for his House on the morrow if the Sun shine: here ariseth an immediate Obligation▪ and it is the same as if it had been conceived only sub Termino, without Condition at all.
