Note 530 — Chapter XIX

Redemption Redeemed, (1651), 433.—This point he pursues at great length in chapters v., viii., xvi., xx. He argues, that if Christ died sufficiently for all, He died intentionally for all.—p. 95. Although I agree with Goodwin, so far as to believe that Christ died for all men, I may observe that sometimes his reasonings against the Calvinistic doctrine of election, as for instance in chap. xviii. sec. 4 and 7, are as unsatisfactory as they are intricate. He frequently attributes to his opponents implications in argument, and consequences of doctrine, which they would indignantly repudiate. It is a common vice in controversy.
