65 CHAPTER IV. CALVINISM, AS RECENTLY MODIFIED. Calvinism, as recently modified, differs from the earlier Calvinism in these points : — First, as to the reference of the atonement, which is held to have been for all men and not for the elect only. Secondly, as to the need be for an atonement, which is not regarded as arising out of the demands of distributive and individual justice, re- quiring that each man should receive his due desert, according to an eternal necessity in the divine nature, ...as ^ maintained by Owen and Edwards : but is held to arise out of the demands of rectoral and public justice, which necessitate God, as the moral governor of the universe, if He extend mercy to sinners, to do so only in a way that will preserve inviolate the interests of His moral government. Thirdly, as to the nature of the atonement, — Christ's suffering for our sins not being held to be the endurance, on the part of the Saviour, of the same punish- ment, or of punishment equivalent in amount of suffering, with that to which those for whom He suffered were ex- posed, but to be the substitution of other sufferings for the threatened punishment, which substituted sufferings were equivalent in reference to the result in relation to God's moral government ; — and Christ's meritorious obe- dience not being held to be the fulfilling of the law in our room and stead, so as to provide us with a righteousness to be imputed to us, investing us with a right to the reward of righteousness, — but a moral excellence giving a moral virtue to the atonement whereby it is made a fit ground on which may be rested all acts of grace and cle- mency towards sinners, and all bestowal of favours upon CAMPB.
