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.

To make this the more fully appear, we must distinguish ⟨p. 69⟩between their present State or Possession, and their present right. Their State is not changed, because all the procurements of the Death of Christ, are to be made out unto them by virtue of a Stipulation sub Termino, that Term or Season being not come. So that still in present actual state, I leave them as before, not Justified, not Sanctified, not entered into Covenant.
To make this the more fully appear, we must distinguish ⟨p. 69⟩between their present State or Possession, and their present right. Their State is not changed, because all the procurements of the Death of Christ, are to be made out unto them by vertue of a Stipulation sub Termino, that Term or Season being not come. So that still in present actual state, I leave them as before, not Justified, not Sanctified, not entred into Covenant.
Right also is twofold: 1 In re, as the Father hath a right to his Estate. And this Jus in re, holds, though the Estate be unjustly, or forcibly detained from him. 2 Ad rem, so the Son hath a Right to the Estate of his Father, being to enjoy it at his Death.
The first right is presently actionable upon any detainment: the latter not so. The first, we do not ascribe to the Elect in this Condition, viz. That which is in re, and instantly actionable; but that which is ad rem, and sub termino.
