The Meritorious Price of Our Redemption, William ... - Adkinshorton.net

Parti. Redemption and Juftificatiott cleered, 19
outward torm ot Kingly Majclly in him, ( as they expedcd fliould -k
be ia their Melliah) they fct him at naught. *
And therefore it was now high time For the Prophet to fliew
forth the true worth and dignity of hispcrr>n, in this fourth verle •
not from his Kingly dcfcent, from Davids loyn«, but ^rom the dit^nitic
of his Godhead, which he did dtCrly manifcH unco them, by
bearing away their infirmities from them, which God had inflidcd
on them for their iniquities. So then, tlie firfl pai: ot this vafc,
( I mean (b much as you have cited J (peaks nothing at ail ot the fufferingsotChrirt;
much kfle of his bufferings from Gods wrath. #
But yet the latter part of this fourth verfc d^.th fpeak ot the fufFcrings
fChrift, though nothing at ail of his (uffcri.igs from Godi
wrath for our fins. Tlie laf^claufe of this fcurth verfe runs thus.

yet we efttemed himfiricken,[mittcn *fGod, and ajjiiEled.
That is
to fay. though the glory ot his Godhead did fhinc in our eys, by his
miracul' us cures, yet we in our pofleritie^ (the Scribes and Pharifees)
did cftccmhimno better than a grolTe Impoftor, and therefore
we put him to death, as a vild malctador j and then we judged
him to be fmittcn and Itrick^n of God, for his defcrved faults. And
this interpretation is further confirmed by the next verfe.

55. 5. He wad Woundedfor our tranfgyfjpans. He was if ruifed for \
our micjuities : the chafiifement ofour peace Was upon him j and by \
hisjtripes we are healed.
J
from t his Ti xt fundrj learned Dlv ints do concludt , that Chrift »
WAS wounded and hruiftd With the wrath ofCod, for ourfins. \
Diz me. Thefc words ( I confelfc) do plainly prove, that Chrifl j
did bear divas wounds, bruifes, and Ikipes,
for our peace and healing
; but ya the text do:h not fay that he bare thcfc vvounds>bruir- /
V J and liripes, from Gods wrath, for our lln;:, as you would have it.
