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.

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.
2 If by any means, he that makes the Stipulation, knows infallibly, that the Condition will be fulfilled, though he to whom it is made, knows it not. In this Respect also, the Stipulation sub Conditione, introduceth an immediate Obligation, and in that regard, is co-incident with that which is only sub Termino.
