The Answer is easy.
The Answer is easie.
That when we say, we suffer for sin, and are punished for sin, understand this, there is a great deal of difference between our suffering for sin and Christs; we do not suffer for sin as Christ did, because our punishments for sin are not by way of satisfaction to Divine Justice, but only by way of castigation from Divine Justice: when God doth punish a pardoned man with some outward Judgement for sin, it is no satisfaction, no compensation: when the text saith, that our chastisements are laid upon Christ: the meaning is, Christ suffers for sin by way of satisfaction, he appeaseth Gods wrath, he satisfies Gods Justice for the sins that we have done: should we lose our blood for a sin, should we give the fruit of our body for the sins of our soul, yet this cannot make a compensation for sin: therefore it may well consist that God punished Christ for our sins by way of satisfaction to his Justice, and may punish us by way of castigation.
