If by a rigorous Execution, you intend the Penalty of the Law, inflicted in that way, which hath pleased the Will of the Law-giver by several parts, and degrees, from conception through birth, life, death, to Eternity; the Curse ⟨p. 58⟩of it being wholly incumbent in respect of desert, and making out it self, according to Gods appointment, then the suspension thereof is not the immediate Effect of the Death of Christ; which (opposing the first Arguments to the former acceptation) I further prove: If those for whom Christ died do lie under this rigorous Execution of the Law, that is the Curse of it, until some other Effect of Christs Death be wrought upon them, then that is not the first Effect of the Death of Christ: but that supposal is true: Joh. 3. 36. Ephes. 2. 3. therefore so also the Inference.

2 In a word: Take the suspending of the rigorous execution of the Law, for the Purpose of God, and his acting accordingly, not to leave his Elect under the actual Curse of it; so it is no Fruit of the Death of Christ, but an Issue of the same Grace; from whence also the Death of Christ proceeds.

:338p. 58

Take it for an actual freeing of their Persons from the Breach of it, and its Curse, and so it differs not from Justification, and is not the immediate effect of Christs Death in Mr Baxters Judgment.
