1. To deny that Christ died for Sin; or to conclude, 2. That having so done, he is still in the Grave: Or, 3. That there is no such thing as Sin: Or, 4. No such thing as Revenging Justice in God against it: Or, 5. That we must die our selves for our Sins: Or, 6. That sin may be pardoned without a satisfaction: Or, 7. That every man may merit his own Salvation.

To avoid therefore these cursed Absurdities, it must be granted that Jesus Christ by his Death did make satisfaction for sin.
But the word Satisfaction may not be used by the Holy Ghost, perhaps, for that it is too short and scanty a Word to express the Blessedness that comes to Sinners by the Blood of Christ.
