42. Christ was not our Delegate, Deputy, Minister or Instrument to do what he did in our names, by representing our persons; as a man's Servant payeth his Masters debt by his command, or doth some work ⟨p. 39⟩which he was to do by himself or by another. Nor did God or his own consent put him into any such Instrumental Relation, in our Civil persons.
43. Yet did he in the person of a Mediator, not only merit and suffer •ro nobis & nostro bono, but also voluntarily as part of his Mediatorial work, suffer the penalty, nostro loco, in our stead: Not by a full representation of our persons; nor as if we could hence truly say, that we •id (in sensu Legis vel Civili). Suffer in Christ, or satisfy Gods Justice our selves by Christ, nor that God or the Redeemer do reckon it to us, or ever will, to be a thing done by us in our own Civil person, though •y Christs Natural person; nor will ever give us all the fruits of it, on that reason and account, as supposing us so by Christ to have satisfied for, or Redeemed our selves. But he suffered in the stead and place of Sinners, to satisfy Gods Wisdom, Truth, and Justice, and to procure pardon and life for Sinners, to be given out by himself, on his terms, and in his way.
