Prop. VIII. Because Punishment is not a Thing Commanded by the Law,1 but Threatened; therefore all Obedience properly is active, (for suspensive is by act of will,) and the distinction between Christs Active and Passive Obedience, must be carefully understood, or else it will tend to confound Obedience and Punishment. His Passive Obedience is but his Obeying in Submission to suffering; where the Consent or Submission is the direct matter of Obedience, and not the suffering it self submitted to.

Prop. IX. Christ did Give his Satisfaction directly and strictly; not to Man for whom he suffered, but to God. whom he satisfied.
Prop. X. Yet he may be said to Give it to men, (especially in their Union with him and Justification) in that he gives them the fruits of it: As a Father is said to give his Son a thousand pound, that layeth it out in Lands for him: Though properly the Seller hath the Money, and the Son the Lands only.
