§. 58.
R. B. I Willingly leave every man to his own judgement in this: But I think it most probable, that the separation of Soul and body was particularly intended in the threatening, Thou shalt dye the death. Reas. 1. Because this is it that is in prima signification called Death, and the miseries of Life, but Tropically, much more this or that particular misery: which answers your objection about sicknesses. 2. This is it that Christ was necessarily to suffer for us: and if it had not been necessary for man to dye thus, by the Commination of that Law, then it would not thence have been necessary for Christ to dye this Death. For it was not the following sentence (which you call Leges post lamas) which Christ came to satisfy or bear, but the curse of the Law. Gal. 3.13. be being made a curse for us. Phil. 2.8. Col. 1.22. Heb. 9.15. by means of death he was to Redeem the transgressors of th• first Law; without Blood there is no Remission: The death of the creatures in sacrificings signified the necessity of this ⟨p. 114⟩Death of Christ. I have met with none but Mr. John Goodwin that saith, Christs readiness or willingness to have dyed, might have served the turn, though the Jews had not put him to death. Col. 1.20.14. Eph. 1.7. Rom. 3.25. Its true, the Apostle speaking of the necessity of Blood, in Heb. hath reference to the Constitutions of Moses Law: but then it must be confessed that that Law did in its Curse much explicate the former, and direct us to see what was threatened, and what must by the Messiah be suffered for us.
