Nope, not at all. He sided with Amyraut on the issue of God's justice (whether the atonement was necessary to forgive sins), but did not follow Amyraut on the issue of hypothetical universalism (or perhaps the double end atonement is a better designation).

However, having said that, Matthew's comments above do apply that Owen's changed view on God's justice does mean his theology begins to lean in a universalistic direction.
