Obj. Did not Christ bear the Curse of the Law for us, that he might Redeem them that were under the Law?
Answ. Yes, he bore the Curse of the Law Materially; that is, that Cursed Death which the Law threatened; But he bore it not ex formali Legis obligatione, sed tantum ex obligatione sponsionis propriae, & precepti paterni; The Law obliged us to punishment, but it never obliged Christ to Punishment; only its obliging us to it, was the occasion of Christs Obligation, because it occasioned him to Oblige himself by his own voluntary sponsion, that he might free us. But still it was only his own sponsion that obliged him (together with that peculiar will of his Father, that he should undertake and discharge our debt;) so that you see the Law is but once executed, even on the Damned (as to full execution, for mans mortality and sufferings here, are a small part of the Execution which Christ saw it not meet to take off.) And so the ipsum Debitum is paid but once; Christs ⟨p. 390⟩Sufferings being not solutio ejusdem, sed satisfactio, i. e. solutio aequivalentis alias indebiti.
