Isai. 53.6. the Lord hath laid on him the iniquities of us all, he suffered the wrath and curse of God, the punishment due to the sin of man, he is our surety, he stood in our stead, and divine justice inflicted upon him all the punishment due to our sins. And he spared not to lay upon him till he was fully satisfied, Rom. 8.32. He spared not his own Son, here he drank the first deep draught of the wrath of God due to our sin, on the Cross, he drank the last draught, and then he dyed.
