A brief declaration and vindication of the doctrine of the Trinity as also of…

Eighthly, That the way in general whereby the Son of God being Incarnate, was to save lost sinners, was by a substitution of himself according to the design and appointment of God in the room of those whom he was so save, 2 Cor. 5. 21. He hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin, that we might become the righteousness of God in him, Gal. 3. 13. Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the Law, being made a curse for us. Rom. 5. 7, 8. For scarcely for a Righteous Man will one dye, yet peradventure for a good man some will even dare to dye; but God commendeth his ⟨p. 158⟩love towards us, in that while we were yet sinners Christ dyed us. Rom. 8. 3. For what the Law could not do in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh; that the Righteousness of the Law might be fulfilled in us. 1 Pet. 2. 24. Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the Tree; Chap. 3. 18. For Christ also hath once suffered for us, the Just for the unjust, that he might bring us unto God. All these expressions undeniably evince a substitution of Christ as to suffering in the stead of them whom he was to save; which in general is all that we intend by his satisfaction; namely, that he was made sin for us, a curse for us, dyed for us, that is in our stead, that we might be saved from the wrath to come. And all these Expressions as to their true genuine importance shall be vindicated, as occasion shall require.
