Thou shalt call his name Jesus for he shall save his People from their sins John 3. 16 17.

Even Jesus which delivereth us from the wrath to come Seventhly That this Love was the same in Father and Son acted distinctly in the manner that shall be afterwards declared so vain are the pretences of men who from the Love of the Father in this matter would argue against the Love of the Son or on the contrary Eightly That the way in general whereby the Son of God being Incarnate was to save lost sinners was by a substitution of himself according to the design and appointment of God in the room of those whom he was so save 2 Cor. 5. 21.

Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the Tree Chap. 3. 18. For Christ also hath once suffered for us the Just for the unjust that he might bring us unto God All these expressions undeniably evince a substitution of Christ as to suffering in the stead of them whom he was to save which in general is all that we intend by his satisfaction namely that he was made sin for us a curse for us dyed for us that is in our stead that we might be saved from the wrath to come And all these Expressions as to their true genuine importance shall be vindicated as occasion shall require Ninthly This way of his saving sinners is in particular several wayes expressed in the Scripture As 1. That he offered himself a Sacrifice to God to make attonement for our sins and that in his death and sufferings Isa. 53. 10. When thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin John 1. 29.

But Christ being come an high Priest of good things to come by a greater and more perfect Tabernacle not made with hands that is to say not of this building neither by the blood of Goats and Calves but by his own blood he entred in once into the Holy place having obtained Eternal Redemption for us For if the blood of Bulls c. How much more shall the blood of Christ who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God purge your Consciences from dead works 2. That he Redeemed us by paying a price a ransome for our Redemption Mark 10. 45. The Son of Man came to give his life a ransome for many 1 Cor. 6. 20. For ye are bought with a price 7. 23. 1 Tim. 2. 6. Who gave himself a ransome for all to be testified in due time Tit. 2. 14. Who gave himself for us that he might Redeem us from all iniquity 1 Pet. 1. 18. For we were not Redeemed with Silver and Gold and corruptible things 19. But with the pretious blood of Christ as of a Lamb without blemish and without spot 3. That he bare our sins or the punishment due unto them Isa. 53. 5. He was wounded for our transgressions he was bruised for our iniquities the chastisement of our peace was upon him and with his stripes are we healed All we like Sheep have gone astray we have turned every one to his own way and the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all 11. For he shall bear their iniquities 1 Pet. 2. 24. Who his own self bare our sins in
his own Body on the Tree 4. That he answered the Law and the penalty of it Rom. 8. 3.

When we were Enemies we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son 1 Cor. 15. 3. Christ dyed for our sins according to the Scriptures 2 Cor. 5. 14.

That the Righteousness of God was glorified Rom. 3. 25 26. Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through Faith in his blood to declare his Righteousness for the remission of sins 2. The Law fulfilled and satisfied as in the places before quoted Rom. 8. 3. Gal. 3. 13 14. Gal. 4. 5. 3. God reconciled 2 Cor. 5. 18 19.

By whom we have now received the Attonement and peace was made with God Eph. 2. 14. For he is our peace who hath made both one that he might reconcile both unto God in one Body by the Cross having slain the emnity thereby 〈◊〉 Made an end of sin Dan. 9. 24. To finish transgression to make an end of sins to make reconciliation for iniquity and to bring in everlasting Righteousness The glory of God in all these things being exalted himself well pleased Righteousness and everlasting Redemption or Salvation purchased for Sinners Heb. 9. 14. In that the chastisement of our peace was upon him and that by his stripes we are healed he being punished that we might go free himself became a Captain of Salvation unto all that do obey him I have fixed on these particulars to give every Ordinary Reader an instance how fully and plainly what he is to believe in this matter is revealed in the Scripture And should I produce all the Testimonies which expresly give witness unto these positions it is known how great a part of the Bible must be transcribed And these are the things which are indispensibly required of us to believe that we may be able 〈◊〉 and regulate our obedience according to the mind and will of God In the Explanation of this Doctrine unto further Edification sundry things are usually insisted on which necessarily and infallibly ensue upon the propositions of Scripture before laid down and serve to beget in the minds of Believers a due apprehension and right understanding of them As 1. That God in this matter is to be considered as the chief supream absolute Rector and Governour of all as the Lord of the Law and of sinners but yet so as an offended Ruler Not as an offended Person but as an offended Ruler who hath right to exact punishment upon Transgressors and whose Righteousness of Rule requires that he should so do 2. That because he is Righteous and Holy as he is the supream Judge of all the World it is necessary that he do right in the punishing of sin without which the order of the Creation cannot be preserved For sin being the Creatures deduction of it self from the order of its dependance upon and obedience unto the Creator and supream Lord of all without a reduction of it by punishment confusion would be brought into the whole Creation 3. That whereas the Law and the Sanction of it is the moral or declarative cause of the punishment of sin and it directly obligeth the sinner himself unto punishment God as the supream Ruler dispenseth not with the act of the Law but the immediate object and substitutes another sufferer in the room of them who are principally lyable unto the sentence of it and are now to be acquitted or freed that so the Law may be satisfied requiring the punishment of sin Justice exalted whereof the Law is an effect and yet the sinner saved 4. That the Person thus substituted was the Son of God incarnate who had power so to dispose of himself with will and readiness for it and was upon the account of the dignity of his Person able to answer the penalty which all others had incurred and deserved 5. That God upon his voluntary susception of this Office and condescention to this work did so lay our sins in and by the sentence of the Law upon him that he made therein full satisfaction for whatever legally could be charged on them for whom he dyed or suffered 6. That the special way terms and conditions whereby and whereon sinners may be interested in this satis●action made by Christ are determined by the Will of God and declared in the Scripture These and the like things are usually insisted on in the Explication or declaration of this head of our confession And there is not any of them but may be sufficiently confirmed by Divine Testimonies It may also be farther evinced that there is nothing asserted in them but what is excellently suited unto the common notions which mankind hath of God and his Righteousness and that in their practice they answer the light of nature and common reason exemplified in sundry Instances among the Nations of the World I shall therefore take one Argument from some of the testimonies before produced in the confirmation of this Sacred Truth and proceed to remove the objections that are commonly banded against it If the Lord Christ according to the Will of the Father and by his own counsel and choice was substituted and did substitute himself as the Mediatour of the Covenant in the room and in the stead of sinners that they might be saved and therein bare their sins or the punishment due unto their sins by undergoing the curse and penalty of the Law and therein also according to the Will of God offered up himself for a propitiatory expiatory Sacrifice to make Attonement for sin and Reconciliation for sinners that the Justice of God being appeased and the Law fulfilled they might go free or be delivered from the wrath to come and if therein also he paid a real satisfactory price for their Redemption then he made satisfaction to God for sin For these are the things that
