And we indeed justly: Death is but our wages, wages as truly earned, as ever was a penny by the poor hireling for his days labour; both we, and our Off-spring have forfeited our lives over, and over again by continual reiterated Treasons against the supreme Majesty of Heaven and Earth: yea the best blood which runs in our veins is Traitors blood by succession from our first Rebellious Parents, for which God might justly have executed the sentence (at first imposed) even as soon as ever we draw our first breath, Thou shalt dye the death, Gen. 3.

But He! what evil had he done? He was holy, harmless, undefiled, 1separate from sinners — He did no sin, neither was there guile found in his mouth; He fulfilled all Righteousness; and yet Jesus dyed! And why so! Surely he was wounded for our Transgressions, he was bruised for our Iniquities, the Chastisement of our peace was upon him, and by his stripes we are healed; we all like Sheep have gone astray, we have turned every one to his own way, and the Lord hath laid upon him the Iniquity of us all! Jesus Christ was the Centre, in whom the sins of all the Elect of God did meet, and unite together, to make Him, as it were the common sinner. For God made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin, that we might be made the Righteousness of God in him; and under the insupportable burden of our sin, he sweat, and wept, and bled, and groaned, and gave up the Ghost.
