a 〈…〉 g ordering Providence about 〈…〉 could not be said to punish or 〈…〉 n his people for their corrections are for the most part by their hatred and malice the sins of wicked men Suppose Gods ways above our ways above our reach as in some things they are shall we say They are unrighteous unjust when he sets Him forth a Propitiation that he might be just 2. Jesus Christ Set forth Jesus Christ God-Man God and Man in one Person Emanuel a Mediator a Middle-person not only in Office but in Nature partook of both Parties not like the medium negationis but participationis utriusque extremi So that we need not take up Job's dark complaint There is not a days-man between us to lay his hand upon us both i. e. Is not an Umpire to day our differences There is indeed a great distance yea a contrariety between God and us but though far asunder he can reach both parties he is both can lay his hand upon us both He is truly God Of whom as concerning the flesh Christ came who is Rom. 9. 5. 1 John 5. 20. Tit. 2. 13.

He must needs be Man that he might be near a kin to us our Goel that as man sinned man might suffer dye and satisfie that there might be as little alteration as might be in the execution of the threatning that as by the offence of one man one a-kin one near to us death came on all so by the righteousness of one man one near a-kin righteousness and life might come on all that as man was to be redeemed man might pay the price He came as near us as could be in a close union so that the Members in some sense may be said to have suffered in their Head For both he which sanctifieth that is by way of Heb. 2. 11 expiation for so the Author to the Hebrews often useth the word and they which are sanctified are all of one of one mass lump of one and the same nature for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren Forasmuch then as the children that Verse 14. is they to be redeemed are partakers of flesh and blood he also himself took part of the same that through death c. Wherefore in all things it behooved him to be made like unto his Verse 17. brethren that he might be a merciful and faithful High-Priest to make reconciliation for the sins of the people for in that he himself hath suffered being tempted he is able to succour them that are tempted 2. He must needs be God that suffered not only to support the humane nature in bearing wrath due to sinners that it might overcome death that it sink not under the weight as the Altar of Wood was to be covered Exo. 27. 2 with brass that it might not be consumed with the fire but to give worth to the sufferings to make them satisfactory that the dignity of the person might add virtue and value to the sufferings And Socinus his Objection here is contrary to all Reason viz. That because the Divine Nature did not suffer it cannot be considered in the sufferings One may with as much reason say It is all one whether you strike a private man or your Prince because the stroak lighteth on the body immediately and not on the dignity it is all one whether you strike a stranger or your Father because the stroak hits the body immediately and not the relation of the person The Scripture placeth the emphasis the value of the sufferings in the worthiness of the person in being God God redeemed the Church with his own blood If the blood of Bulls and Acts 20. 28. Heb. 9. 14 Goats sanctifie to the purifying of the flesh how much more shall the blood of Christ who through the eternal spirit that is his Divinity offered himself purge your Conscience c.

To dye To dye this we have in those words in the Text Faith in his blood Object Could not God have declar'd his righteousness and his hatred of sin and have kept up the repute of his Law and have made that honourable in dispensing with it upon a less consideration Would it not have been penalty enough satisfaction enough for Christ only to have taken upon him our nature though he had lived as King of kings attended with Princes Kings and Emperors Or however to have taken on him the form of a Servant though he had not dyed Or yet would it not have been enough if he had undergone some little part of his suffering Would not some one or few drops of his blood have sufficed as those shed in his Circumcision Some of the Ancients have spoken strangely concerning these things but Pope Clement the sixth most strangely for by his Decretal-Epistle he hath determined this difficulty so rationally in the account of Canonists that it is inserted into the body of the Canon-Law Extrav tit Vnigenitus viz. thus One drop of Christs blood was enough to save the world and therefore the over-plus of it is laid up in the Treasury of the Church to be given out by the Popes in Pardons and Indulgences But we are sure God thought it not sufficient By his blood is meant death But yet there remains a seeming difficulty
