2. Another wound that the world hath received by the Cross of Christ by him suffered, is this: By it satisfaction is made to God for the sin that the world had enticed man to commit, and so quoad pretium, the victory which the world had formerly obtained over us, is nulled, and its Captives rescued, and we are cured of the deadly wounds which it had given us: For he healeth all our diseases, Psal. 103. 3. and his stripes are the remedy by which we are healed, Isa. 53 5. So that it is a vanquishing of the world, when Christ doth thus nullify its former victories: For thus he began to lead captivity it self captive, which at his Resurrection and Ascension he did more fully accomplish, Psalm 68. 18. Eph. 4. 8.
