Francis Turretin, translated by James R. Willson — read again from the page images of the 1859 revised edition (archive.org).
This is locus XIV of Turretin’s Institutio Theologiae Elencticae — the questions on the satisfaction of Christ — in English. Willson translated it in 1817 and the revision printed here is of 1859; it is the only substantial part of the Institutio to have been put into English while the work was still in the public domain, the complete translation by George Musgrave Giger having been published in 1992 and remaining in copyright.
The 1859 edition prints a synopsis of each chapter in small capitals under its title; those four lines are not included, because the scan does not read that face and what it returns is not English (“ReraTions or GOD To THE SINNER.—4. THE QUALIFICATIONS OF TIE SCBSTITCTE”). The chapter’s own opening sentences, which the printer runs on from the synopsis in the same paragraph, are kept.
Turretin argues the necessity of the atonement against the Socinians, its truth and its perfection against the Romanists and Arminians, what Christ’s satisfaction consisted in, and — at greatest length — for whom it was made. The complete work exists in the public domain only in its original Latin.
