2 That Christ in paying a price, had no intent that those he paid it for, should be immediately or absolutely freed, is crudely enough asserted. 1 Of the immediateness of their Delivery, ⟨p. 85⟩I have spoken already. It hath as strict an Immediation as the Nature of such Causes and Effects will bear. 2 If he intended not that those for whom he died should be absolutely freed, then either he intended not their freedom at all, and so the Negation is upon the term freed: or the Negation of his Intention is only as to the qualification, absolutely, and so his Intention to free them is Asserted, and the Affection of absoluteness in that Intention, only denied.
