The Scripture Gospel defended, and Christ, grace, and free justification vindicated against the libertines…

§. 5. I have elsewhere told you that there are many sorts of Sponsors. 1. There is one that Antecedently maketh himself a Party in the Covenant and Bond: As when my Friend is bound with me in the same bond for a Debt or Duty: If the Law to Adam had been such as this, took in Christ also into the same bond, and had meant [Ore of you shall perfectly obey or suffer;] Then that Law would have had nothing against Adam at all, because all was fulfilled by Christ: And it bound but disjunctively, one or the other. Then Christs Obedience or Suffering would not have been sati•factio, which is solutio aequivalentis alias indebiti, & solutio re•usabtits; but it would have been solutio ejusdem & non recusabilis according to the bond.

2. There is a subsequent Sponsor that was not before bound, but as a Friend after interposeth, and offereth (not in the Person of the debtor, but yet in his stead) to pay the debt: and this upon such terms as to the Debtors deliverance as he thinks best; and so may take him as Debtor to himself, and put various limits, and Conditions upon his Discharge: And such a Sponsor is Christ for Man. Many more distinctions of Sureties are here considerable.
