Prop. XIII. Christ did neither Obey nor Suffer in any Mans stead by a strict proper Representation of his Person in point of Law; so as that the Law should take it as done or suffered by the party himself. But only as a third person, as a Mediator he voluntarily bore what else the Sinner should have born.
To assert the contrary (specially as to particular persons considered in actual Sin,) is to overthrow all Scripture Theology, and to introduce all Antinomianism, to overthrow all possibility of pardon, and assert Justification before we Sinned or were Born; and to make our selves to have satisfied God.
Therefore we must not say that Christ dyed nostro loco so as to personate us, or Represent our Persons in Law Sense; but only to bear what else we must have born.
Therefore we must not say that Christ dyed nostro loco so as to personate us, or Represent our Persons in Law Sence; but only to bear what else we must have born.
Prop. XIV. Christ by his Death (and so satisfaction to Justice) hath purchased to himself a full Propriety in all the Creatures which were under the Curse, and so is become Dominus Absolutus of all, on a new Title of Redemption, as God was before on the Title of Creation.
