Asser. 2. This threefold taking away of sins, I clear from the Scripture: 1. Christ taketh away our sins on the Cross, causatively, and by way of merit, while as he suffereth for our sins on the Cross: So, Joh. 1.29. Behold the Lamb of God that taketh away the sins of the world. ⟨p. 226⟩1 Cor. 5.21. He was made sin for us. Col. 2.14. Christ blotted out the hand-writing of Ordinances, that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to the Cross. 1 Pet. 2.24. Who, his own self bare our sins on the tree. Isa. 53.10. He made his soul an offering for sin. This Atonement of blood was typified in Aaron, who Lev. 16.20, 21. was to lay both his hands on the head of the Live-goat, and to confess the sins of the people, and did translate them off from the people; so as the Goat was to bear upon him all their iniquities, unto a land not inhabited, v. 22. Now this was the paying of a ransom for us, and a legal translation of the eternal punishment of our sins; but it is not justification, nor ever called justification: there is a sort of imputation of sin to Christ here, and a sum paid for me: but, with leave,1 no formal imputation, no forinsecal, and no personal Law-reckoning to me, who am not yet born, far less cited before a Tribunal, and absolved from sin: when Christ had completely paid this sum, Christ was justified Legally, as a public person, and all his seed fundamentally, meritoriously, causatively, but not in their persons.
