Arg. III. All those Scriptures which speak of Christ's bring a Redeemer, do evince the Doctrine of His Satisfaction to Divine Justice. Tit. 2. 14. For Christ is a Redeemer, not only by Power but by Price. Hence his people are said to be bought by him, yea, bought with a Price. 1. Cor. •. 20. & 7. 2•. Nothing can be spoken more clear and express to prove that Christ is a Redeemer, not by Power only, but by Price also. Hence the Elect of God are said to be ransomed, Matth. 20. 28. 1. Tim. 2. 6. The Greek word [antilutron] there used, signifieth the laying down of a just valuable price, even as much as the Thing is worth. JESUS CHRIST the Son of GOD hath given as much as all the Lives and the Souls of His People are worth, that so He might Redeem them from that misery which they were justly condemned unto.
