Answ. No, for without shedding of blood, there is no remission: and besides, there was no death, that could satisfie Gods justice but his, which is evident; because there was none in a capacity to dye, or that was able to answer an infinite God by his so suffering, but he.

He standing in the room of sinners; and that in their names and natures, Gods justice ⟨p. 142⟩must fall upon him; for justice takes vengeance for sin wheresoever it finds it, though it be on his dear Son.

Should we have undergone the pains or hell? so did he.
