Some Expository Thesis about the Effects of the Death of Christ.
Proposition I. THE First and most Immediate Use and Effect of Christs Death, was the satisfaction▪ of Gods Justice for mans Violation of his Law.
Prop. II. It was not the Law it self that Christ satisfied (if we speak properly) but the Law-giver. Though improperly the Law it self may be said to be satisfied when its Ends are attained; that is, the Ends of the Legislator in giving the Law. The Law knows no proper satisfaction. To admit of satisfaction instead of fulfilling and execution, is beyond the power of the Law, and is the act of the Legislator as he is above the Law.
Prop. III. Christ did not suffer from the Obligation of the Law, but from the Obligation of his own Sponsion; on occasion of the Laws obliging us to suffer. The Law never obliged Christ to Suffer (though it did to obedience.)
