“atonement is an expedient substituted in the place of the literal infliction of the threatened penalty, so as to supply to the government just and good grounds for dispensing favors to an offender.” (Page 14)

“An atonement is any provision that may be introduced into the administration of a government, instead of the infliction of the punishment due to an offender—any expedient that will justify a government in suspending the literal execution of the penalty threatened—any consideration that fills the place of punishment, and that answers the purposes of government, as effectually as the infliction of the penalty on the offender himself would; and which thus supplies to the government just, safe, and honorable grounds for offering and dispensing pardon to the offender.” (Page 14)

“that slight thoughts of the atonement of Christ, engender and foster slight thoughts of the evil of sin.” (Pages 13–14)
