A practical exposition of the Lord's-Prayer

2. Having condescended to become our Surety, he made full Satisfaction, by suffering the Punishment which was due to us; Isa. 53. 4. Surely he hath born our Griefs, and carried our Sorrows. That which we should have born upon our own Backs, and would have crushed us for ever, that ⟨p. 351⟩he hath born, and he hath carried. Christ was to be the Sinner in Law, and was to suffer in our stead. Solomon hath a Passage concerning Suretyship; Prov. 11. 15. He that is Surety for a Stranger, shall smart for it: or, (as the Hebrew will bear it) sore-bruised, or, (as it is in the Margin) shall be bruised and sore-broken. And the same word is used concerning Christ, that was our Surety; Isa. 53. 10. It pleased the Father to bruise him. Christ is our Surety, therefore he was bruised and broken, he suffered what we should have suffered. It is true, there are some Circumstances of our Punishment, which Christ suffered not, (as a great part of our Punishment in Hell, there's the Worm of Conscience, and Despair, and the Eternity of Torments) but this was not essential to the Punishment, but did only arise from the Guilt, and from the Weakness of the Party that is punished, because we cannot work through it otherwise. Christ paid the full Price which Divine Justice demanded, and so made Satisfaction for us.
