§. 6. Else Christ should have been in God's account a Sinner, and the greatest Sinner in the World, and hated as such by God above any other Sinner; which whoever shall affirm, shall speak presumptuously and blasphemously.
§▪ 7. Yea, else Christ should have been many millions of persons in Law-sense, and many millions of Sinners; which is not agreeable to God's Word.

§. 8. Christ neither was a Sinner, nor reputed a Sinner by God: And his being made sin for us, signifieth, 1. That he was made a Sacrifice for Sin, and was taken and used by God as one that undertook to suffer for our sins, in our stead, though not in ⟨p. 123⟩our person. 2. And that he was really accounted a Sinner by those that crucified him, and used as such.
