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.

1 Declare what I mean by reckoning Christ unto us: And then, 2 Prove the Assertion as laid down.
Gods reckoning Christ, in our present sense, is the imputing of Christ unto ungodly unbelieving Sinners for whom he died, so far, as to account him theirs, to bestow Faith and Grace upon them for his sake.

This then I say, at the Accomplishment of the appointed time, the Lord reckons and accounts and makes out his Son Christ, to such and such Sinners, and for his sake, gives them Faith, &c. Exercising of Love actually in the bestowing of Grace upon any particular soul, in a distinguishing manner, for Christs sake, doth suppose this accounting of Christ to be his, and from thence he is so indeed: which is the present Thesis, and may be proved. For:
1; Why doth the Lord bestow Faith on Peter, not on Judas? Because Christ Dying for Peter, and purchasing for him the Grace of the Covenant, he had a Right unto it, and God according to his Promise bestowed it: With Judas, it was not so.
