Now, bearing of punishment tends directly to the giving
satisfaction to him who was offended, and on that account inflicted the
punishment. Justice can desire no more than a proportional punishment, due to the offence. And this, on his own voluntary taking of our
persons, undertaking to be our mediator, was inflicted on our dear Lord
Jesus. His substituting himself in our room being allowed of by the
righteous Judge, satisfaction to him doth thence properly ensue.
