Prop. XLIX. It hath not so much as a show of Injustice or wrong to any for God to punish unbelievers for the same Sins that Christ died for, if we do but understand, 1. The difference between suffering by our selves or our delegate, substitute or Vicar, and a Mediator suffering for us, 2. And between solutio ejusdem, & satisfactio which is Redditio equivalentis, and so 3. Between a refusable suffering or payment, (as the last is) which doth acquit but on what ⟨p. 61⟩terms the accepter pleaseth, and not ipso facto; and a not refusable payment, (such as the first is) God accepted the satisfaction on those terms only, that no final Rebel should partake of the saving benefit. If it be a wrong, it is either against Christ, or the Sinner, Not to the Sinner, for he suffereth but once: And the former suffering of Christ, was not in personation or representation of his person, nor as his substitute, nor appointed or procured by him: But by a third Person, in the Person of a Mediator sent by God, and voluntarily undertaking it. Nor to Christ is it any wrong: For 1. He is willing: Volenti non fit injuria. 2. It was the agreement, it should be so: 3. Yea it is he that doth it. He as Judge condemns them for ingratitude and Rebelling against himself and consequently leaves all the rest of their Sins upon them.
