18. And this seemeth to Impute to God a nature less holy and at enmity to sin, than indeed he hath; if he can repute a man laden with hateful sins, to be as perfectly Holy, Obedient and Amiable to him as if he were really so in himself, because another is such for him.
18. And this seemeth to Impute to God a nature less holy and at enmity to sin, than indeed he hath; if he can repute a man laden with hateful sins, to be as perfecty Holy, Obedient and Amiable to him as if he were really so in himself, because another is such for him.
19. If we did in our own persons Imputatively ⟨p. 96⟩what Christ did, I think it will follow that we sinned; that being unlawful to us which was Good in him. It is a sin for us to be Circumcised, and to keep all the Law of Moses, and send forth Apostles, and to make Church-Ordinances needful to Salvation. Therefore we did not this in Christ: And if not this, they that distinguish and tell us what we did in Christ, and what not, must prove it. I know that Christ did somewhat which is a common duty of all men, and somewhat proper to the Jews, and somewhat proper to himself: But that one sort of men did one part in Christ, and another sort did another part in him, is to be proved.
20. If Christ suffered but in the Person of sinful man, his sufferings would have been in vain, or no Satisfaction to God: For sinful man is obliged to perpetual punishment; of which a temporal one is but a small part: Our persons cannot make a temporal suffering equal to that perpetual one due to man: but the transcendent person of the Mediator did.
