Sixthly, Observe with me, That the original cause of §6this compact or Covenant between the father and the son, by virtue of which, God the father demands a price, and Jesus Christ pays the price according to God's demands, is only from the free grace and favour of God; vers. 10. It pleased the Lord to bruise him, he hath put him to grief. God the father looks upon Jesus Christ; as sustaining our person and cause; he looks upon all our sins, as laid upon him, and to be punished in him: Sin could not be abolished, the justice of God could not be satisfied, the wrath of God could not be appeased, the terrible curse could not be removed, but by the death of Christ; and ⟨p. 83⟩therefore God the father took a pleasure to bruise him, and to put him to grief, according to the agreement between him and his son. It must be readily granted, that God did not incite or instigate the wicked Jews, to those vile and cruel courses and carriages of their to Jesus Christ; but yet, that his sufferings were by God predetermined for the salvation of mankind, is most evident by the Scriptures in the margin; and accordingly, it pleased1 the Lord to bruise him, and to put him to grief. The singular pleasure that God the father takes in the work of our Redemption, is a wonderful demonstration of his love and affection to us.
