1. Quest. Mere and proper solution or payment is, when the very same thing is paid which w•• in the obligation, or suffered which was threatened. This payment the creditor cannot refuse; nor the Ruler refuse this suffering, nor to acquit the person that hath so payed or suffered.

Satisfaction is the paying of somewhat that was not directly in the Obligation, but is given to satisfy the creditor in stead of the debt, which payment the Creditor may choose to accept; and if he do not consent to ⟨p. 18⟩accept it, though it were paid, yet the debtor should not be acquit. So also in regard of suffering.
Satisfaction is the paying of somewhat that was not directly in the Obligation, but is given to satisfye the creditor in stead of the debt, which payment the Creditor may chuse to accept; and if hee do not consent to ⟨p. 18⟩accept it, though it were paid, yet the debtour should not be acquit. So also in regard of suffering.
Here we take payment and satisfaction in the strict legal sense and not in the large sense wherein they are confounded. And now the Question is, whether Christs suffering were the payment of the very debt, or of somewhat else in its stead? The resolving of this depends upon the resolving of two other questions both great and difficult.
