I know some have taken a new way of expressing and declaring the Doctrine concerning the Mediation of Christ, with the causes and ends of his death, which they think more rational, than that usually insisted on. But as what I have yet heard of or seen in that kind, hath been not only unscriptural, but also very irrational, and most remote from that accuracy whereunto they pretend, who make use of it; so if they shall publish their conceptions, it is not improbable but that they may meet with a Scholastical Examination by some hand or other.
Our present work, as hath been often declared, is for the establishment of the Faith of them, who may be attempted, if not brought into danger to be seduced by the slights of some who lye in wait to deceive, and ⟨p. 152⟩the clamours of others who openly drive the same design. What therefore the Scripture plainly and clearly reveals in this matter, is the subject of our present enquiry. And either in so doing, as occasion shall be offered, we shall obviate, or in the close of it remove those Sophisms that the Sacred Truth now proposed to consideration hath been attempted withal.
The sum of what the Scripture reveals about this great truth, commonly called the satisfaction of Christ, may be reduced unto these ensuing heads.
