The meaning and importance, we say of these Expressions, is; that Christ dyed in our Room, Place, or Stead, undergoing the Death or Punishment which we should have undergone in the way and manner before declared. And this is the satisfaction ⟨p. 227⟩we plead for. It remains therefore, that from the Scripture, the nature of the things treated of, the proper signification and constant use of the.
