1. We dare not say, That Sin simply considered, as the very Transgression of the Law it self, as well as the Guilt and Punishment, became the very Sin and Transgression of Christ: For two things ⟨p. 380⟩are distinctly to be considered and differenced, With respect to the Law, and unto Sin. As to the Law, we are to consider in it, 1. Its Preceptive part. 2. Its Sanction.
1. We dare not say, That Sin simply consider'd, as the very Transgression of the Law it self, as well as the Guilt and Punishment, became the very Sin and Transgression of Christ: For two things ⟨p. 380⟩are distinctly to be considered and differenced, With respect to the Law, and unto Sin. As to the Law, we are to consider in it, 1. Its Preceptive part. 2. Its Sanction.
(1.) The preceptive part of the Law, which gives Sin its formal Nature, 1 Joh. 3. 4. For sin is the transgression of the law. All Transgression arises from the Preceptive part of the Law of God: He that transgresseth the Precepts, sinneth; and under this consideration sin can never be communicated from one to another: The Personal sin of one cannot be in this respect the Personal sin of another: There is no Physical Transfusion of the Transgression of the Precept from one subject into another: This is utterly impossible; even Adam's personal sins considered in his single private capacity, are not communicable to his Posterity.
