The second part of the curse was separation from God and the sense of the loss of his favour and this also Christ underwent being for a time under the with drawment and loss of the feeling of God's love So much was before hand prophesied concerning him Psal 22. 1. and himself declareth that he bore it Mat. 27. 46. My God my God why hast thou forsaken m● It is true he was not left as to the dissolution of the personal union with the Divine Essence ●on 14. 11. and 10. 30. Heb. 9. 14. n●r as to the vertue and support of God's power and providence Psal 16. 8 9 Joh. 16. 32. nor as to grace and sanctification Col. 1. 19. It was needful that he should be always holy otherwise he had failed in the work which he came about but ●t was not needful that he should be always joyful yea considering his undertaking it was impossible that he should be so and therefore he was left only as to the communication of the effects of Divine love and favour which is that which the damned ●ye under in hell And this with what I delivered under the former head was the ground of his fear agony and bloody sweat c. Having proved that Christ suffered the very same which we should have suffered it naturally follows that he did it in way of a satisfaction for there is no other reason imaginable why God should thus punish a person who in himself was altogether innocent and one so dear to him as his own Son but that he stood charged as a Surety with our sins to make satisfaction to Divine Justice for them CHAP. VI. The satisfaction of Christ further established in that he suffered in our room He underwent death as a penalty our sins were laid on him He was made sin dyed for us bare our iniquities THE next thing which comes under consideration for the more full clearing that Christ hath satisfied for us is this that as he suffered the same which we should have suffered so he suffered it all in our room and stead It was before hand told that the Messiah should be cut off but not for himself Dan. 9. 26. He was to be penally cut off not upon his own account or for himself but for us This particular will be fully made out by considering these five things 1. In that he underwent death which God had constituted the punishment of sin and there being no ●use in himself why he should suf●r that penalty It unavoidably ●llows that it was because he stood ●arged with our offences I do not ●ow dispute whether God might ●ave made man obnoxious to ●ath in case he had never sinned ●e only question is what he hath ●one I will not deny but that ●od having given us our beings ●nd lives might without inju●ice have taken back what he ●ad given he might in way of do●inion and soveraignty have sent ● into the world to act our parts ●or a time and then remanded us ●to our state of not being again ●e only question is what he hath one and that in condecency to is wisdom goodness and righte●usness as governour of his crea●res and here we affirm that ●eath was appointed by God to be ●e wages of sin and that if man ●ad not sinned he should not have ●yed notwithstanding the possibility of dying which was in ma● nature he should by the power ● God have been preserved fro● actual dying Whatever he was ob●noxious to in the constitution ● his nature he should for ever na● been free from death in the even● And it was very consonant to Di●vine wisdom and goodness th● perfect righteousness and puri● should have been attended wit● life and immortality and th● God should not take away th● being which he had bestowed but upon a faileur in reference t● the end for which it was given God appointed death to be th● punishment of sin Gen. 2. 17. I● the day that thou eatest thereof th● shalt surely dye This being denounced only in case of sin w● are thence fully informed that i● man had not sinned he should no● have dyed To this it were ●asi● to subjoyn many other places o● Scripture Rom. 6. 23. The wag●● of sin is death Rom. 5. 12. Death entred into the world by sin It came not in as a consequent of the frailty of humane nature but as the deme●it of the fall Hence death is called an enemy 1 Cor. 15. 26. God made not death saith ●he Apocryphal writer Now Jesus Christ having suffered death which was the punishment of sin and having had no sin of his own for which he could be punished it results by a necessary consequence that he suffered death as the penalty of our sins ●nd as he stood in our room Object Object But possibly it may be ●bjected that this interferes with our own doctrine For if death be the ●enalty of sin then for asmuch as Christ by bearing the penalty hath de●ivered us from every thing that is ●enal he should have delivered us from death too but not having delivered us from death we contradict ●ur selves in calling death the pu●ishment of sin Answ I Answer All those for who● Christ hath satisfied are delivered by him from death so far as it is penal So that though it be continued yet it is not as it is a punishment but in order to other ends sin and the curse being separate from it it is no more poisonous but medicinal Instead of a punishment it is become a priviledge Christ having unstung it and swallowed up the curse which was in it 1 Cor. 15. 54 55. it cannot hurt them though it seise them Instead of being an inlet to wrath it is an entrance to glory 2. Christ his suffering in our room will be made further out if we consider that our sins were laid on him Isa 53 6 7. The Lord laid on him the iniquity of us all he was oppressed and he was afflicted That it is the Messiah and none other who is intended throughout that whole Chapter hath been abundantly justified against the Jews and it is utterly impossible with any congruity and sense to apply it to any other And several testimonies taken hence are in the New Testament expresly applyed to Christ ver 1. Joh. 12 ●7 38. ver 4. Mat. 8. 17. ver 7 8. Act. 8. 28. ad 36. ver 12. Luke 22. 37. The attempts of Grotius in accommodating the whole to Jeremiah have been a●undantly refuted by Hoornbeck Alex. Morus and the learned Dr. Owen to whose writings I profess my self more beholding for a clear understanding of some things in ●he mystery of the Gospel than to ●ny mans besides Taking then at present for granted that it is to be understood of
