5He took upon him likewise our sins, so far as there is any thing penal in sin in respect of punishment. You know there is two things in guilt, there is the demerit, and desert of it, and there is an obligation to punishment; now the obligation to punishment he took on him, though the merit, and desert he took not, he became sin, 2that is, by sin he bec•me bound to the punishment for sin, he took not the demerit; for in respect of himself he deserved no such death as he underwent. To clear this a little further, he took upon him our nature, that he might become sin for us, he took upon him the guilt as far as guilt is an obligation to punishment.3 The son of a Traitor, he looseth his fathers lands, not by any communion of fault, put by communion of nature, because he is part of his father: so Christ took the communion of our nature, that he might take the communion of our punishment, not of our fault; as the son is no Traitor, but because he is part of his father, that was a Traitor, by his nearness, and communion with his father, he is wrapped in the same punishment.
