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. Owen, minister of the gospel.Of the death of Christ, the price he paid, and the purchase he made.

But is it from hence, because by his Death, he Purchaseth for them, the completing of that Condition in them? Thus, he pays a Price with Intention that those for whom he pays it, shall be freed, by enjoying that freedom under such a Condition as he procures for them; and thereupon knows, That at the appointed time, it shall be wrought in them.
