1 Pet. 2. 24. Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the Tree: And how did he bare our sins, but by bearing the punishment due for them? He was wounded for our transgressions, &c. Isa. 53. 5. And wherefore did he bear the punishment of our sins, but that he might give satisfaction unto God's justice?
