12. It's also doubtless that Christ suffered in our stead: But in what sense & how far is all the doubt: Because we deserved it, he voluntarily assumed it, to ⟨p. 89⟩demonstrate Gods Justice, Mercy and Wisdom, and deliver us. You say before that, [It was strictest Justice that was showed on Christ.] I would not strive about the word: It was strictest Justice as upon Christ: It was perfect Justice as to the ends of Government: But it was not strictest Justice as to us, nor as strictest signifieth the strict fulfilling or executing of the threatening of the Law: For it was not so executed, but the sinner mercifully pardoned.
