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.

In the Close, he shuts up this Discourse, and enters into another; giving in his Thoughts about the immediate Effects of the Death of Christ: A matter wherein he pretends to great Accurateness, 1Censuring others, for not being able to distinguish aright of them, and so to spend abundance of labour in vain, in their Discourses thereabout. Particularly here he denies (and calls it A dangerous Error to suppose) That actual Remission and Justification are immediate Effects of his Death, or any Right thereunto, which he attempteth to prove by sundry Arguments.
