Moreover, the Scape-Goat carried all their Sins away into the Wilderness, or into an unknown Land, or into a Land of Forgetfulness, never to be remembered any more; this hath our Lord Jesus done: Christ hath put away Sin, and put it away for ever, and that by the Sacrifice of himself once for all: He hath laid on him the 1Iniquities of us all; and also all our Iniquities. He could not be supposed to have suffered for our Sins, if our Sins, respecting the Guilt of them, were not laid upon him, or charged upon him, and imputed to him: his Sufferings otherwise would have been Arbitrary and Unjust, had he not been substituted by the Father, and called forth as our Surety, (nor could his Death been accepted) the Law no where condemning or punishing any one who in a Law sense is an innocent Person.

He was made Sin, without knowing Sin: He knew the Guilt by Imputation, but he knew not Sin any otherwise, neither Original nor Actual; He was born without Sin, and lived without Sin, in his Mouth was found no Guile: yet he had our Sins upon him, and carried them away; he being the Antitype of the slain Goat, satisfied for all our Sins; and as he is the Antitype of the live Goat, he hath born them away for ever.
