§. 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.
§. 9. First, Christ did not fulfil the Law of Innocency in our several persons; He did not all those things materially that Adam was obliged to do; nor which most of us are obliged to do. We did not reputatively fulfil that Law by him, so as that his Perfection is taken as ours, in Habit and in Act.
