1. Of a Surety, bound to pay the debt for us, and to save our souls.
1. Of a Surety, bound to pay the debt for us, and to save our soules.
2. Of a Common person, or as an Attorney at Law, in our stead. And both these as they have a distinct and differing consideration in themselves, so those several considerations of them will conduce to the understanding of those two things fore-mentioned, as ways and arguments to show how the Resurrection of Christ may support our faith, both by way of evidence that the debt is paid, and by way of influence that we are thereby acquitted, and cannot be condemned. The notion ⟨p. 47⟩of his being risen, who is our Surety, clears the first, and that of his rising as a Common person, illustrates the other. And I shall here a little the largelyer insist upon the explication of these two relations, because their consideration will be of use through all the rest that follows, to illustrate thereby the influence that his Ascension, and Sitting at Gods right hand, &c. have into our Justification; and so I shall carry them along throughout this Discourse.
