A90278	Of the death of Christ, the price he paid, and the purchase he made. Or, the satisfaction, and merit of the death of Christ cleered, 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.	Owen, John, 1616-1683.	1650 (1650)	Wing O783; Thomason E614_2; ESTC R206527	67,152	109
