Cap. 7 Theologi nostri: Musculus — electorum gratia Christ came
Musculus, who in the Common Places presses hard that Christ must be held universal Redeemer, still grants Christ's special intention to redeem the elect. On Romans 8 he says Christ came into this world for the elect's sake — which can only mean he came with a peculiar intention to save the elect without fail. That special aim, securing for the elect the applied fruit of his passion, belongs to them so properly that it does not stretch to others.
Latin
Musculus, qui in locis communibus acriter illud urget, Christum pro universali Redemtore habendum, tamen specialem Christi intentionem de redimendis electis agnoscit, in Rom. viii. ubi dicit, Electorum gratia Christum in hunc mundum venisse. Quod aliter intelligi non potest, quam peculiari intentione electorum infallibiliter servandorum in mundum venisse. Quae specialis intentio obtinendi ipsis electis fructum applicatum suae passionis est ita illorum propria, ut ad alios se haud extendat.
