last words * " lei ti&s ( victim ) be nay expiation , " as the J < ws tell us ,, signify , ** Let this , detim be substituted in inyi | Oace , tb ^ t the evil which I hav e deserved may fall upoa the head of this victim /*
The Jews way tell us this ; but the words , " Let this be my expiation , " express no more than this , Let this victim remove ail displeasure of God from me , let this be my cleansing ; leaving the real purport of Jewi&h sar erifices for sin , still a subject to be
stacerttuned from other circumstances * We shall use bat one further argument against the aotkm of the vicarious import of Jewish sacrifices ; the one which Dr . Magee cites , as the
fifth and last of these objections of which , he volunteers a complete refur tat ion , though it would , it seems , jaake no difference to his main argument , whether such objections were proved just or not .
We have already argued that the sacrifice of a victim is no emblem of vicarious punishment , because it is appointed for a variety of religious occasions where confessions of sin formed no part of the ceremony . Our
present argument is the converse of this , namely , that atonement for sin being made in some cases without any anin&al sacrifices merely by an offering of flour , by placular sacrifices , coukl never be implied the vicarious aubatiiution of a life .
« ' To tbis / ' says Dr . Magee , c < the answer is obvious , that although no vicarious substitution Q . f a life could be conceived , where Itffe . wns not given at all , yet from this it camiQt follow , that where a life was given , it might
not admit of a vicarious import . * ' The queetioa is aot whether it might , but wheAhex it did acfatally \ aod it is bothing else Imt . giving * up the question in dis |> ute to Qcwicede , as Dr . Magee evidently docs , that where a life was given iu sacrifices , it might n < tf have
