It is emphatical, that the Apostle saith, He bare our sins his own self: For there be two things which are here imported. First, that he had no partners: there were none with him: He bare all himself, Isaiah 59.16. He trod the winepress alone, Isaiah 63.3, 5. And therefore it is a vile dishonour to Christ, to ascribe any part of satisfaction to our selves, or to any Saint, or Angel. Secondly, it imports, that therefore his suffering is of infinite value, in that he bare all, his own self in person, who was God and man. Then it will follow, that he hath made a sufficient propitiation for all the world, 2. Joh. 2.1, 2.
