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, Do I not then fight with a shadow?
Truly cut my words thus off in the middle of their Sense, and they will be found fit to Cope with no other Adversary: but take them as they lie, and as intended, and there is scarce any shadow of Opposition to them, cast by M. B. passing by. My words are, (It is not equivalent, but only in the Gracious Acceptation of the Creditor:) Is not the plain meaning of these words, That tantundem in Satisfaction, is not equivalent to idem [Greek or Hebrew], but only [Greek or Hebrew]? what is Denied of it absolutely, is Affirmed in some respect. He that says, It is not equivalent, but only in Gracious Acceptation, in that sense Affirms it to be equivalent; and that it is in respect of that sense, That the things so called, is said to be tantundem, that is equivalent.
Truly cut my words thus off in the middle of their Sense, and they will be found fit to Cope with no other Adversary: but take them as they lie, and as intended, and there is scarce any shadow of Opposition to them, cast by M. B. passing by. My words are, (It is not equivalent, but only in the Gracious Acceptation of the Creditor:) Is not the plain meaning of these words, That tantundem in Satisfaction, is not equivalent to idem 〈non-Latin alphabet〉, but only 〈non-Latin alphabet〉? what is Denied of it absolutly, is Affirmed in some respect. He that sayes, It is not equivalent, but only in Gracious Acceptation, in that sense Affirms it to be equivalent; and that it is in respect of that sense, That the things so called, is said to be tantundem, that is equivalent.
Now what excepts M. B. hereunto? Doth he assert tantundem to be in this matter equivalent unto idem [Greek or Hebrew]? It is the very thing he opposeth all along, maintaining that solutio tantidem stands in need of Gracious Acceptance, ejusdem of none: and therefore they are not as to their End [Greek or Hebrew] equivalent.
