the sufferings of an innocent person as a "sufficient amends or satisfaction for the sins of criminals". God is reconciled to us, so Law argues, through Jesus Christ insofar as we are newly born, newly created in Jesus Christ. He saved us not by "giving the merit of his innocent sufferings as a full payment for our " but by enabling us to come out of our "guilt and iniquities" by having his nature reborn into us. To be redeemed, Law is convinced that there is an absolute necessity that "our souls clothed again with this first paradisaical or heavenly flesh and blood" without which we can never enter into the
Kingdom of Heaven. This heavenly flesh and blood must be born again in us, or derived again into us from this blood of Christ. This drinking of the blood of Christ, the second Adam, is only saying that it "must do that for us and in us, which the first Adam should have done". Law admonishes the reader not to look for a figurative meaning of the words "flesh and blood". The flesh and blood does not refer to the "outward, visible, mortal flesh and blood of Christ, but a heavenly, immortal flesh and blood which "came down from heaven" and which has the nature, qualities and life of heaven in it, the "flesh and blood of eternal life" which brings heaven and

Himself. All storms and tempests, every fierceness of heat, every wrath of cold proves with the same certainty, that outward nature is not a first work of God, as the selfishness, envy, pride, wrath and malice of devils, and men proves, that they are not in the first state of their creation. .... The present condition of this world is only the remains or ruins, first, of a Heaven spoiled by the fall of Angels, and then of a Paradise lost by the sin of Man. .... Man and the world in which he lives, lie both in the same state of disorder and impurity, have both the same marks of Life and Death in them, both bring forth the same sort of evils, both want a Redeemer, and have need of the same kind of Death and Resurrection, before they can come to their first state of purity and perfection.

For to Law and to Boehme "Atonement' was first and foremost "at-one-ment", the rebirth of a new sinless life in the soul and its reunion with God. This concept, so Hobhouse wrote, will seem unsatisfactory to those people who believe in "guilt, righteous anger, retributive punishment, compensatory justice and sacrificial death.

the will of nature and they are always doing what comes natural to them, as a result of which they are not sinful. But, so argues Law, the will of angels and men is an "offspring or ray" which is derived from the will of God and this will of God is superior to nature. Therefore, the nature of the devil and the nature of fallen man is imputed to both of them as their sin ... because their will was uncontrollable."
