nected with his resurrection from the dea < i > * the means of our obtaining remission of sins , because thereby his Messiahship , and the truth of his gospel , which proclaims forgiveness of sins / were fully established . Thus then we have fully proved that the doctrine of the atonement , which this writer considers as a ' doctrine of in *
finite importance , has no foundation either in the Jewish or Christian scriptures , but is an invention of human folly and superstition , which ought to be reprobated by every sincere Christian . % l / - There is , however , another of remark this writer on which .
we shall oflfer an observation or two * He says , " I do not , mention the Levitical sacrifices , particularly the Paschal Lamb , because Mr . S . would probably deny the whole scheme of
types and anti-types . " That there are allusions in the New Testament to tne Levitical sacrifices is admitted , but that they were types , and the sacrifice of Jesus Christ the anti-type * no where appears , nor are they alluded to as vicarious sacrifices , nor is his sacrifice represented as such . We have a particular allusion to the Paschal Lamb in those words o £ the aposrie , " Christ our passover is sacrificed for us /* and the allusion supposes that Lamb to he a sacrifice ; but we observe that that sacrifice was not a sin-offering $ no sin is charged upopt the people of Israel as the occasion of it 5 it
was not a vicarious sacrifice , either for the children of Israel or for the Egyptians ; it was not designed to make an atone ** ment ; the observance of it was not a fast with bumiliaiioa and confession of sin , but a / east in commemoration of a deliverance , and so the apostle considered it , for immediately after his allusion to it , he adds , 6 C Let us therefore
keep the feast , not with the old leaven , neither with the Jeaven of malice and wickedness ; but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth /* So far then is this allusion from proving the doctrine of vicarious punishment and atonement , that jt proves most clearly that no such idea ought to be connected with the sacrifice of Jesus Christ . Thus , Sir , I have considered , pretty much at large , theremarks on Mr . Stone ' s Visitation Sermon , and I trust have fully justified him in renouncing those doctrines which the remarks are designed to establish ; and have only to beg your pardoq and that of your correspondeijLts fyr obtruding so much \ ipon your patience . Yours , &c . J , ! VL
