Heb. 10.1, 12. Isa 53.5. Heb. 1 2.3. John 1.29. Matth. 26.11. Deut. 21.23. Matth. 15.1, 2. Gal 3.13. Luke 23.1, 2. Matth. 26.38. 2 Cor 5. Heb 9 12. Heb. 10.5. That our Lord Jesus offered himself a voluntary Sacrifice unto his Father for us; That he suffered contradiction of sinners; That he was wounded and plagued for our transgressions; That he being the clean and innocent Lambe of GOD, was condemned in the presence of an earthly Judge; that we might be absolved before the Tribunall Seat of our God: That he suffered not onely the cruell death of the Crosse (which was accursed by the sentence of God) but also, That he suffered for a season the wrath of his Father, which sinners had deserved. But yet we avow, That he remained the onely welbeloved and blessed Sonne of his Father, even in the midst of his anguish and torment, which he suffered in body and soule, to make the full satisfaction for the sinnes of his people. After the which, we confesse and avow, That there remains no other sacrifice for sinnes; which if any affirme, we nothing doubt to avow, That they are blasphemous against Christs Death, and the everlasting purgation and satisfaction purchased unto us by the same.
