HC Question 37. What dost thou understand by the words, "He suffered"?
Answer: That he, all the time that he lived on earth, but especially at the end of his life, sustained in body and soul, the wrath of God against the sins of all mankind: (a) that so by his passion, as the only propitiatory sacrifice, (b) he might redeem our body and soul from everlasting damnation, (c) and obtain for us the favour of God, righteousness and eternal life.

Except, Ken, that just like in Scripture, the HC cannot be taken piecewise without reference to context and the other teachings that are explicitly in it that deny UA. (just as you were answered clearly when you asked if the HC taught unlimited atonement in
this thread).
The HC cannot be extricated from the Canons of Dort, either, which clearly deny unlimited atonement.
