questionable as to its author , yet of the highest authority , this view is largely ^ enfiirbed , so largely that I think it needless to quote \ single passages , because , if th 6 argument is evaded , it must toe by some general
principle of interpretation , which I have intended to combat in some preceding remarks . Having said thus much on the scriptural evidence of the general view , I Will suggest a few particulars , in which the efficacy of the mediation of Jesus , as tin
atonement for sill * im&y partly consist ; keeping close to scripture light , which will , I think , confirm and illustrate the following points , to those who will consider them in it . I ^ lUill mention five particulars : 1 . In Saving men , through exalting Jesus , God hatli notably rewarded obedience and
Virtue , $ . That grace is conferred Upon us through one of otir brethren , so highly exalted over ite by-his obedience y ami that tve depend * tio much updn him , and thaft he stands twttrwe ^ n us and God , is calculated to humble us as shiners before God . Si * $ he
death of Jesus exhibited , in the most striking manner , the abominable malignity of sin , and its awful and lamentable conseqnfcnces . Thus , petrhaps , it superseded - the necessity of the law , and also , by filling the measure of Jewish * guilt , prepared th e way in which the wisdom of God
would save die' World , according to the argument of Paul in the eleventh cliapter 6 f Romans . 4 , StWrh a mediatio ,, ttoded to wake uslfefel thtfWak of utter ruin into which sin had brought to , inasmuch as s 6 gtfcfct « n exeittetf ieff thtf Divine lovekndpower
