IT is necessary that we speak of the efficient Causes of Christs Death, before we handle the Effects. And therefore we must consider quorum loco he Dyed, before we consider how far they shall partake of the Benefits. Here it must be remembered, that we have already proved that ⟨p. 91⟩Christ did not represent our Persons in satisfying; but yet he bore our sins, that is, the penalty due to them; and so did in a larger sense suffer nostro loco or nostri loco; not as our Delegate or proper ••carius; but as a voluntary Sponsor, and so substitute in suffering.

IT is necessary that we speak of the efficient Causes of Christs Death, before we handle the Effects. And therefore we must consider quorum loco he Dyed, before we consider how far they shall partake of the Benefits. Here it must be remembred, that we have already proved that ⟨p. 91⟩Christ did not represent our Persons in satisfying; but yet he bore our sins, that is, the penalty due to them; and so did in a larger sence suffer nostro loco or nostri loco; not as our Delegate or proper ••carius; but as a voluntary Sponsor, and so substitute in suffering.

Also understand that Christs sufferings had no real proper meritorious Cause: But yet Mans sins were the pro-causa meritoria: He undertook to bear that suffering which for them was due to us, (not to him.) And therefore when I say he bore the sufferings due to us, I mean it materialiter only; such sufferings for kind and weight he bore; but his obligation to bear them was only from his own Sponsion, and not the Law. The Law by constituting the Dueness of punishment to us, was the occasion of his suffering it, but not the obliging cause. I add, that [accordingly he hath satisfied for all:] For this will not be denied, if the first be proved. For he satisfied by suffering what the Sinner deserved: And in whose stead soever he suffered, for them he satisfied.
