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.

He paid a Price, or Ransom for us, he bought and purchased us by his blood, to be a peculiar People to himself; he redeemed us from the Curse and Wrath due to us, that we may be conditionally freed. All things intended under Condition, are as to their Accomplishment uncertain. The Condition may be fulfilled, or it may not be fulfilled; and therefore the thing intended thereon, can have no certainty as to its Accomplishment, in the mind of the Intender.
