It is a word of exhortation to the faithful to conform their ⟨image 6⟩hearts and conversations answerable to Christ. p. 161 Doctrine. God the Father did impute all the sins of all the world to the charge of our Saviour. p. 166 When God the Father doth charge the sins of the faithful upon Christ, it doth appear in these three particular acts. Particular. 1. God the Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ, made a mutual decree, and purpose, that so many as should believe, should be saved: and this was left to the care of Christ, that he should make them believe. p. 170 Particular 2. Our Saviour having undertaken to keep these, he therefore put himself into the room, and place of all those lost sheep. p. 173 Particular 3. Our Saviour having put himself into the room of a sinner, the Law now proceeds with full scope against him. p. 175 Reason 1. That which the Lord Jesus Christ did willingly submit himself to without sin, that God the Father might justly charge upon him. p. 176 Reason 2. Because the justice of God requireth this at the hands of Jesus Christ, that he should take the guilt of sinners upon himself. p. 177 Reason 3. Because herein is abundantly magnified the love and mercy of Christ. p. 179 Use 1. It is a word of instruction to the Saints: if God the Father hath laid thy sins upon Christ, then do not thou take them from him to thy self. p. 180 How far a believer may charge himself with his sin, doth appear in these four conclusions. Conclusion 1. Every believer is bound to see and examine the sinful carriage of his soul, and to judge that it hath power to make him guilty, and also to condemn him. p. 182 ⟨image 6⟩Conclusion 2. Every believing soul justified, ought to acknowledge that it were righteous with the Lord to let out his wrath against him, though not to condemn him, yet to distract him. p. 185 Conclusion 3. Every believer accepted, and justified, in and through Christ by the Father, yet he is thus far bound to charge his sins upon himself, as to maintain in his own heart a sense of the need that he hath of Christ, as well to continue his respect and acceptation with God, as to bring him at first into the love and favour of God. p. 187 Conclusion 4.
