The harmony of the Gospels in the holy history of the humiliation and sufferings…

3. To be dead in sin, final separation from God, desperation, &c. neither the excellency of his person, nor his glorious production, nor the quality of his Office, ⟨p. 120⟩nor the work which he had undertaken, could admit any such thing to befall him. But all the Essential punishment due to the sin of man, he was willing to suffer to the utmost, Heb. 10.5. and did so, to the full satisfaction of Justice. Justice required that he should dye; but did not require that he should sin, nor did Justice require that he should dye eternally; if he have once paid the debt of death, Justice was satisfied, and gave him a discharge, that he might rise a Conqueror.

4. There have been four ways of the production of man. 1. Adam was created by God, out of the dust, and he was made spotless. 2dly. Eve was created by God out of the rib of man, and she was made spotless, though the weaker vessel.
