A34980	Christ exalted and Dr. Crisp vindicated in several points called antinomian, being cleared from neonomian suggestions alledged, by some remarks on Mr. A-, his rebuke to Mr. Lob shewing from Scripture and most orthodox authors the invalidity of his rebuke in taxing the doctor to be apocryphal, and his doctrine antinomian : with some observations on the Bishop of Worcester's letter concerning the great point of the change of persons between Christ and believers ... : with a table to find the heads insisted on / done by a happy, tho' unworthy branch of the said doctor.	Crisp, Samuel, 1669 or 70-1704.	1698 (1698)	Wing C6917; ESTC R24787	120,659	146

that I suppose the Rebuker had little list to enter the Lists in that Debate §. CII But it being a Subject of infinite concernment to every poor Soul that hopes for Eternal Life by and through our Lord Jesus it being that on which hangs all the hopes of a poor Sinner for his escaping the direful terrible tremendous and eternal Wrath of God due to every one for his Sins by our Lord Jesus his bearing that Wrath which was due to us I shall quote somewhat of Dr. Chancy's collecting in his Vindication of what was exprest in Dr. Crisp's Sermons and shall afterward add some Animadversions on the Rebuker about the Lord Christ's bearing the Father's displeasure And I begin with what Dr. Chancy quotes from Mr. Calvin in his Discourse on Gal. 3.13 The Apostle doth not say saith Calvin that Christ was cursed but a Curse which is more for it shews that all Malediction was included in him God was not ignorant of what kind of Death his Son should dye when he said Cursed is every one that hangs on a Tree He took our Person therefore he was a Sinner and under the Curse not so much in himself as in us He underwent his Wrath else how could he reconcile the Father to us Again How could he free us from the Wrath of God unless he had TRANSLATED it from us to HIMSELF Therefore he was wounded for our Sins and experienced God as an angry Judge Can any thing be more positive and plain for Christ's bearing the Father's displeasure which is so cryed out upon by the Neonomians as if it were heterodox monstrous wild Antinomianism when so great a Man as this saith that Christ translated the Wrath of God from us to himself and that he experienc'd God as an angry Judge And this is no Testimony from an Antinomian though in this saying as much an Antinomian in saying Christ was thus a Sinner as Dr. Crisp in saying the like §. CIII A second Witness to confirm this Truth out of Dr. Chancy is Martin Luther who goes a step or two higher in the Rebuker's Antinomianism than Calvin and faith on this Point in Vindication of Dr. Crisp thus Then hast thou him Christ indeed when thou believest that this more pure and innocent Person is freely given to thee of the Father to be thy Priest and Saviour yea rather thy Servant that he putting off his Innocency and Holiness and taking thy SINFVL PERSON upon him might bear thy Sin thy Death and thy Curse As Paul applyed to Christ that place of Moses Accursed is every one that hangeth on a Tree so may we apply to Christ not only that whole 27 Deut. but also may gather all the Curses of Moses's Law together for as Christ is innocent in this General Law touching his own Person so is he also in all the rest and as he is guilty in this General Law in that he is made a Curse for us and hanged on the Cross as a Wicked Man a Blasphemer a Murderer a Traytor even so he is guilty in all others Here Luther makes Christ to bear the Father's displeasure with a Vengeance bear our Sin Death and Curse yea all the Curses in Moses's Law §. CIV But what need have we of Humane Testimony for this although such Testimony is more authentick with some and will pass farther in Proof with some than David's Psalms or Paul's Epistles for God's displeasure with Christ as bearing our Sins and our Persons and as being our Surety and our Representative Therefore because Mr. Williams is so foul on Dr. Crisp for asserting God's displeasure against Christ for our Sins and my Dear Kratiste seems afraid to declare his plain Sense in this Point pretending to save Time and Paper and thereby leaving Dr. Crisp under the foul Pen of Mr. Williams whose Cause the Rebuker vindicates on this account I think it necessary to bring good Scripture Proof of God's displeasure against his own ever-dearly beloved Son our Lord Jesus as he stood in our stead bearing our Sins for which I produce the 22th the 25th the 69th and 89th Psalms to shew that Christ was under the displeasure of God In Psal 22.1 he cryes out Why art thou so far from helping me Why hast thou forsaken me and are far from the words of my roaring Surely God's forsaking was sufficient ground for his roaring In Psal 35.17 he saith Lord how long wilt thou look on Rescue my Soul And ver 22. O Lord be not far from me So that here is forsaking even to make him roar and here he minds God of standing far off and looking on while he is in his Agony And can any one think there was no displeasure in God when he did so In Psal 69.3 he cryes Mine Eyes fail while I wait for my God Surely then God had withdrawn from him Reproach hath broken my Heart says he ver 20. I looked for pity but there was none Thus we see God looking on and not comforting him under this terrible Dispensation when his Heart was broken with Reproach and could God with-hold his Comforts so long as he did if he had not executed his displeasure on Christ which was due to us for our Sin But that which puts it beyond doubt is that direful doleful word of our Lord Jesus in Psal 89. where he shews how Reproach had broken his Heart in ver 38. he saith But thou hast cast off and ABHORRED thou hast been wroth with thine Anointed thy Christ That this abhorring was spoken in the Name of Christ appears farther in ver 50. I do bear in my bosom the Reproach of all the mighty People wherewith they have reproached the footsteps of thine Anointed This the Apostle shews is spoken of Christ in Rom. 15.3 The Reproaches of them that reproached thee are fallen on me saith he Whence it is clear that if the one is spoken of Christ viz. the Reproach then it follows that the other the abhorring is spoken also of him for they are joyned together Psal 89. And if so what Sun-beam can be clearer than this That our Lord Jesus if under this abhorring he was under the sore displeasure of his Father as bearing our Sins Now for Mr. Williams to tell the World his dreadful Story against Dr. Crisp for his using the same words of Christ as the Spirit of God doth and with the same Sense viz. That this displeasure of God was only upon account of Christ's bearing our Sins and that he was made a Curse for us not in respect of his own Holy Innocent Person but as bearing our Persons for Mr. Williams to load the Doctor so foully as he doth and for the Rebuker to say nothing hereto is seemingly to justifie Mr. Williams and makes one fear he doth not reckon that Christ was under any displeasure of the Father nor that Christ bare our Sins our very Sins or was made a Curse a very Curse any more than Mr. Williams doth But Mr. Williams absolutely
