4. And that it may be understood how far Christ did Obey or Suffer in our stead, or person, we must distinguish, 1. Between his taking the Nature of sinful man, and taking the Person of sinners. 2. Between his taking the Person of a sinner, and taking the Person of you and me, and each particular sinner. 3. Between his taking our sinful persons simply, & ad omnia, and taking them only, secundum quid, in tantum, & ad hoc. 4. Between his suffering in the Person of sinners, and his obeying and sanctity in the Person of sinners▪ or of us in particular. 5. Between his Obeying and Suffering in our Person, ⟨p. 53⟩and our Obeying and Suffering in his Person (Natural or Political.) And now I shall make use of these distinctions, by the Propositions following.
Prop. 1. The phrase of [Christ's Righteousness imputed to us] is not in the Scripture.
2. Therefore when it cometh to Disputation, to them that deny it, some Scripture-phrase should be put in stead of it; because, 1. The Scripture hath as good, if not much better, phrases, to signify all in this that is necessary. 2. And it is supposed that the Disputants are agreed of all that is express in the Scripture.
