Now he suffered for us in divers respects, as,
Now hee suffered for vs in diuers respects, as,
1First, to make satisfaction unto the Justice of God for our sins, and to appease the wrath of God toward us, as the former places show: His sufferings were a sacrifice for sin: He bare the curses of the Law, which were due to us, Gal. 3.10. And thus he payed our ransom, and pacified God, especially in his death and burial: He nailed the hand-writing that was against us, to his cross, Col. 2.15. And as Jonah was cast into the bowels of the sea, to still the raging of it, so was Christ cast into the bowels of the earth, to make the seas of Gods wrath quiet for us.
