After the citation of some passages, he adds, p. 301,
“This, methinks, is very strange, that what he did as mediator is not
imputed unto us; but what he did, not as our mediator, but as a man subject
to the law, that is imputed to us, and reckoned as if we had done it, by
reason of his being our mediator. And it is as strange to the full, that
Christ should do whatever was required of us by virtue of any law, when he
was neither husband, nor wife, nor father, merchant nor tradesman, seaman
nor soldier, captain nor lieutenant, much less a temporal prince and
monarch. And how he should discharge the duties of these relations for us,
which are required of us by certain laws, when he never was in any of these
relations, and could not possibly be in all, is an argument which may
exercise the subtilty of schoolmen, and to them I leave it.”
