First: As the first Adam, by his Sin, and Disobedience, did break the Law of God, affront his Justice, and provoked the Anger and Wrath of God, against his Posterity; so the Second Adam did by his Obedience, and Death, satisfy the Law and Justice of God, for all his Seed, whom he died for; which Satisfaction he did perform immediately: For, 1. When he died, our sins were imputed to him, and laid, and charged on him; for he was made sin for us, who knew no sin, 1 Cor. 5.21. that is, the guilt of our sin was imputed to him: The meaning of the words, is not, He was made a Sacrifice; for it's said, that he knew no sin. Now it cannot be said, that he who knew no Sacrifice, was made a Sacrifice for us; indeed it follows by Consequence, that he was made a Sacrifice for us, which he was on the Cross; ⟨p. 109⟩For he offered up himself once for all, saith the Apostle, Heb. 9.26.28. which cannot be understood of his appearing in Heaven for us, for that he ever liveth so to appear for us, seeing he ever liveth to make Intercession for us, Heb. 7. and when he gave himself unto God for us, then he was made an Offering, and a Sacrifice to God for a sweet smelling savour, Ephes. 5.2.

Now the Sins of the People were laid on the head of the Sin-Offering, and Christ being our Sin-Offering, when he died on the Cross, our sins were then laid on him, and imputed to him. 2. As our sins were charged, and laid on him, so they were laid on him by the hand of the Father, Isa 53. It pleased the Lord to bruise him, and he hath put him to grief, verse 10. And the Lord hath laid on him, the iniquities of us all. verse 6. The word [Greek or Hebrew] doth sometimes signify to pray, and intercede: but so it cannot be taken here, for then the words should be read thus; He hath made our Iniquities to pray, or intercede on him, or by him, or with him; but there is no good sense in that; neither can it be said,
