its an everlasting contradiction, That the treacherous murdering of innocent Uriah, should remove out of him into the son of David, Jesus Christ, and denominate him the murderer of Uriah, so as the same murder can be said to be committed by David only, and not by David only, but by the man Christ: It must then be a lie, a dream, and palpable untruth to make Jesus Christ intrinsically the sinner, and murderer; Judge then if this Doctrine be of God, which Dr. Crisp right down hath asserted to the world in Print, Ser. 3. Vol. 2. pag. 84. God made Christ a transgressor — No transgressor in the world, was such a transgressor as Christ was, pag. 88. You will never have quietness of Spirit in respect of sin, till you have received this principle, That it is iniquity it self, that the Lord hath laid on Christ: Now when I say with the Prophet, It is iniquity it self that the Lord hath laid on Christ, I mean as the Prophet doth, it is the fault or the transgression it self; and to speak more fully, that erring, and straying like sheep: that very erring, and straying, and transgressing is passed off from thee, and laid upon Christ: To speak it more plainly, Hast thou been an Idolater?

Ans. 1. No Scripture calleth Christ the Thief, the Murderer, the Adulterer, the Idolater, God avert from pious hearts, such blasphemies; he may by a figure be called sin, and be said to be made sin for us: but that is by mere imputation:
