The meritorious price of mans redemption, or Christs satisfaction discussed and explained

1 By shewing how the sufferings and the sacrifice of Christ, did satisfie Gods justice, pacifie his wrath, and procure his reconciliation for mans redemption, from Satans head-plot. 2 By vindicating the sufferings and the sacrifice of Christ, from that most dangerous scripture-less tenent, that is held forth by Mr. Norton of New England in his book of Christs sufferings, affirming that he suffered the essential torments of Hell, and the second death from Gods immediate vindicative wrath. 3 By shewing that the righteousness and obedience of Christ in relation to his office of mediatorship, is a distinct sort of obedience, from his moral obedience, in chapter the third and elsewhere. 4 By shewing that the righteousness of God (so called in Rom. 3.21, 22, 26 in Rom. 10.3, in 2 Cor. 5.21. and in Phil. 3.9.) is to be understood of God the Fathers performance of his covenant with Christ; namely, that upon Christs performance of his covenant (by combating with Satan, and at last by making his death a sacrifice) he would be reconciled to beleeving sinners, and not impute their sins to them. And therefore 1. This righteousness of God must needs be the formal cause of a sinners justification. And 2. It must needs be a distinct sort of righteousness from the righteousness of Christ, contrary to Mr. Nortons tenent. This is evidenced in Chap. 14.and elsewhere. 5 By explaining Gods declaration of the combate between the Devil and the seed of the woman in Gen. 3.15 from whence (as from the foundation-principle) this present reply doth explain all the after prophecies of Christs sufferings. 6 By clearing several other scriptures of the greatest note in these controversies, from Mr. Nortons corrupt expositions, and by expounding them in their right sense; both according to the context, and according to sundry eminent orthodox writers
