1st. An all-sufficient Saviour by his Propitiation, and Intercession. The Excellency of his Obedience, ⟨p. 309⟩and the Excellency of his Person were influential to obtain the Pardon of Sin. His Propriety in the Sacrifice, and the Value of it, was requisite to atone the just Displeasure of God for our Offences. 'Tis said, he offered his own Body on the Tree: his peculiar Right in it was requisite to make it a proper and acceptable Sacrifice. 'Tis true, the Father and holy Spirit had the same Right in the Human Nature of Christ as the Son had, with respect to the making it: but the Son by assuming it into a Personal Union with himself, has a peculiar Right in it, and offered his own in a strict sense. And in Consequence to this, his Sacrifice was of infinite Value: He did not compound with God, but paid a Ransom equivalent to what was due for Sinners. He bled a Fountain from his wounded Side, that cleanses from all Sin.1
