[230] Athan. _c. Ar._ i. 43: 'He put on the flesh which was enslaved to sin.' Cf. also Augustine, _de Musica_ VI. iv: 'Hominem sine peccato, non sine peccatoris conditione suscepit. Nam et nasci humanitus, et pati et mori voluit.' I owe this reference to Norris, _Rudiments of Theology_, p. 61 _n._ [231] Heb. ii. 17; vii. 24, 26, 28: cf. ix. 13, 14, 24, 25, 26; x. 11, 12, 13, 14. [232] Cf. Athan. _c. Ar._ ii. 69: 'He sends His own Son, and He becomes Son of Man, by taking created flesh; that, since all were under sentence of death, He, _being other than them all_, might Himself for all offer to death His own body.' [233] The two aspects of the Atonement are frequently presented by S. Athanasius, _de Incarn. Verbi_. Thus (ch. 10) 'By the sacrifice of His own Body He _both_ put an end to the law which was against us, and gave us a fresh beginning of life, in that He bestowed on us the hope of resurrection.' Cf. also chs. 8 and 9. Again (ch. 25), 'As He offered His Body unto death for all; so by it He again threw open the way to heaven.' [234] Cf. Westcott, _Historic Faith_, p. 133. [235] Cf. Magee, _The Gospel and the Age_, pp. 270 ff. Bishop Magee, however, seems to exaggerate the certainty and relentlessness of the temporal punishment of sin (cf. against this Dale, _The Atonement_, Lect. viii) and to overlook the force of the analogy from human experience of forgiveness. [236] Cf. Ath. _c. Ar._ iii. 34. 'As the Lord in putting on the body, became Man, so we men are made gods by the Word, being taken into Him through His Flesh, and from henceforth inherit life eternal.' [237] For this thought fully drawn out, see Holland, _Creed and Character_, pp. 212 ff. [238] On the truth of the solidarity of all men in Christ, see Westcott, _The Victory of the Cross_, pp. 6-53. [239] See e.g. Moule, _Outlines of Christian Doctrine_, p. 185. [240] Cf. Aug. _de Trin._ i. 10: 'Tales nos amat Deus, quales futuri sumus, non quales sumus.' [241] This is well stated by MᶜLeod Campbell, l. c. p. 16. [242] Cf. Athan. _de Inc. passim_, esp. chs. 20 and 42. Hooker, _Eccles. Pol._ V. li. 3, 'It seemeth a thing unconsonant that the world should honour any other as the Saviour but Him Whom it honoureth as the Creator of the world.' [243] Cf. the true reading of S. Mark iii. 29, R.V. [244] W. R. Greg. [245] It should be noticed that the Greek Fathers and the English divines for the most part confine themselves to shewing this moral fitness and consonance with God's moral nature in the Atonement, and do not attempt to prove its absolute necessity. Cf. Athanasius, _de Incarn. Verbi_, ch. 6; Hooker, _Eccles. Pol._ V. li. 3; Butler, _Analogy_, pt. ii. c. 5. [246] Cf. _De Incarn. Verbi_, chs. 27, 28, 29.
