Theomachia autexousiastikē
Theomachia autexousiastikē: or, A display of Arminianism. Being a discovery of the old Pelagian idol free-will, with the new goddess contingency, advancing themselves, into the throne of the God of heaven to the prejudice of his grace, providence, and supreme dominion over the children of men. Wherein the main errors of the Arminians are laid open, by which they are fallen off from the received doctrine of all the reformed churches, with their opposition in divers particulars to the doctrine established in the Church of England. Discovered out of their own writings and confessions, and confuted by the Word of God. / By John Owen, Master of Arts of Queens College in Oxon.Theomachia autexousiastikē: or, A display of Arminianisme.

Secondly, for whom Christ died, he died as their sponsor, in their room and turn, that he might free them from the guilt, and desert of death, which is clearly expressed, Rom. 5. 6, 7, 8. He was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities, the chastisement of our peace was upon him, and with his stripes, we are healed: Isa. 53. 5, 6, &c. He hath redeemed us, from the curse, being made a curse for us: Galat. 3. 13. He made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin, 1 Cor. 5. 21. Evidently he changeth turns with us, that we might be made the righteousness of God in him: yea in other things, it is plain in the Scripture, that to die for another, is to take his place and room, with an intention that he should live: 2 Sam, 18. 33. Rom. 5. So that Christ dying for men, made satisfaction, for their sins, that they should not die: now for what sins he made satisfaction, for them the justice of God is satisfied, which surely is not done for the sins of the reprobates, because he justly punisheth them to eternity, upon themselves: Matth. 5. 26.
