Robert Traill (Stedfast Adherence to the Profession of our Faith), Works 3:230:

Christ Jesus was offered in sacrifice to God for us. He did not die only in love for us, and he did not die only to give an example for us, and he did not die only for our good; but he died in our stead, he died as a sacrifice dies. The way in which the beast that was to be sacrificed died, was this: there was a transferring of the guilt of the master of him upon his head; that guilt deserved death by the law, and this death was inflicted upon the poor innocent creature. This was a shadow of that great sacrifice that the Son of God was to offer. Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood, he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us, [Hebrews] chap. 9:11, 12.
