Neither will his dying for our Good or advantage only, in what way or sense soever, answer or make good, or true, the Assertion of his dying for us, and our sins. And this is evident in ⟨p. 246⟩the Death of the Apostles and Martyrs; they all dyed for our Good; our advantage and benefit was one end of their sufferings, in the will and appointment of God; And yet it cannot be said, that they dyed for us, or our sins.
And if Christ dyed only for our Good, though in a more effectual manner than they did, yet this altereth not the kind of his dying for us; nor can he thence be said properly, according to the only due sense of that expression, so to do.
I shall in this brief and hasty discourse, add only one consideration more about the death of Christ to confirm the Truth pleaded for. And that is that he is said in dying for sinners, to bear their sins, Isa. 53. 11. He shall bear their iniquities, v. 12. He bare the sins of many; explained, v. 5. He was wounded for our Transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities, the Chastisement of our peace was upon him, 1 Pet. 2. 24. Who his own ⟨p. 247⟩self bare our sins in his own body on the Tree, &c.
