none_o can_v conclude_v the_o debt_n either_o pay_v by_o he_o or_o forgive_v to_o he_o but_o by_o the_o release_n of_o his_o person_n who_o can_v believe_v christ_n to_o have_v be_v a_o god_n and_o

very_a foot_n 5._o the_o five_o and_o last_o ground_n of_o the_o impossibility_n of_o christ_n perpetual_a continuance_n under_o a_o state_n of_o death_n be_v the_o nature_n of_o the_o priesthood_n which_o he_o have_v take_v upon_o he_o the_o apostle_n heb._n 8.4_o say_v that_o if_o he_o be_v upon_o earth_n he_o shall_v not_o be_v a_o priest_n certain_o then_o much_o less_o can_v he_o be_v so_o shall_v he_o continue_v under_o the_o earth_n the_o two_o great_a work_n of_o his_o priesthood_n be_v to_o offer_v sacrifice_n and_o then_o to_o make_v intercession_n for_o sinner_n correspondent_a to_o the_o two_o work_n of_o the_o moysaicall_a priesthood_n in_o which_o the_o priest_n first_o slay_v the_o lamb_n and_o then_o with_o the_o blood_n of_o it_o enter_v into_o the_o holy_a of_o holies_n there_o to_o appear_v before_o god_n in_o the_o behalf_n of_o the_o people_n christ_n therefore_o after_o that_o he_o have_v offer_v himself_o upon_o the_o cross_n be_v to_o enter_v into_o heaven_n and_o there_o present_v himself_o to_o the_o father_n to_o make_v that_o sacrifice_n effectual_a to_o all_o the_o intent_n and_o purpose_n of_o it_o upon_o which_o account_n the_o apostle_n to_o express_v his_o fitness_n for_o the_o priesthood_n infinite_o beyond_o any_o of_o the_o son_n of_o aaron_n state_n it_o upon_o this_o heb._n 7.25_o that_o he_o live_v for_o ever_o to_o make_v intercession_n for_o we_o and_o upon_o that_o very_a score_n also_o be_v able_a to_o save_v to_o the_o uttermost_a but_o sure_o the_o dead_a can_v not_o intercede_v for_o the_o live_n nor_o be_v the_o grave_a a_o sanctum_fw-la sanctorum_fw-la have_v not_o christ_n rise_v again_o his_o blood_n indeed_o may_v have_v cry_v for_o vengeance_n upon_o his_o murderer_n but_o not_o for_o mercy_n upon_o believer_n in_o short_a it_o have_v speak_v no_o better_a thing_n than_o the_o blood_n of_o abel_n which_o call_v for_o nothing_o but_o a_o fearful_a judgement_n upon_o the_o head_n of_o he_o who_o shed_v it_o christ_n death_n merit_v a_o redemption_n for_o the_o world_n but_o christ_n while_o dead_a can_v not_o show_v forth_o the_o full_a effect_n of_o that_o redemption_n he_o make_v the_o purchase_n at_o his_o death_n but_o he_o can_v not_o take_v possession_n till_o he_o be_v return_v to_o life_n ever_o since_o christ_n ascend_v into_o heaven_n he_o have_v be_v pursue_v the_o great_a work_n begin_v by_o he_o upon_o the_o cross_n and_o apply_v the_o virtue_n of_o his_o sacrifice_n to_o those_o for_o who_o it_o be_v offer_v it_o be_v affirm_v by_o some_o and_o that_o not_o without_o great_a probability_n of_o reason_n that_o the_o soul_n of_o the_o saint_n who_o die_v before_o christ_n resurrection_n do_v not_o actual_o enter_v into_o a_o state_n of_o complete_a glory_n till_o christ_n the_o great_a captain_n of_o their_o salvation_n upon_o his_o ascension_n first_o enter_v into_o it_o himself_o and_o then_o make_v way_n for_o other_o so_o that_o according_a to_o that_o divine_a anthem_n of_o the_o church_n after_o that_o he_o have_v overcome_v the_o sharpness_n of_o death_n then_o at_o length_n and_o not_o till_o then_o he_o open_v the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n to_o all_o believer_n and_o thus_o i_o have_v give_v five_o several_a reason_n why_o it_o be_v not_o possible_a that_o a_o state_n of_o death_n shall_v final_o prevail_v over_o christ_n which_o be_v the_o thing_n to_o be_v prove_v and_o i_o have_v nothing_o further_a to_o recommend_v to_o your_o consideration_n but_o only_o two_o thing_n which_o the_o very_a nature_n of_o the_o subject_n seem_v of_o itself_o to_o imprint_v upon_o all_o pious_a mind_n 1._o the_o first_o be_v a_o dehortation_n from_o sin_n and_o that_o indeed_o the_o strong_a that_o can_v be_v for_o can_v we_o imagine_v that_o the_o second_o person_n in_o the_o glorious_a trinity_n will_v concern_v himself_o to_o take_v upon_o he_o our_o flesh_n and_o to_o suffer_v and_o die_v and_o at_o length_n rise_v again_o only_o to_o render_v we_o the_o more_o secure_a and_o confident_a in_o our_o sin_n will_v he_o neither_o see_v nor_o endure_v any_o corruption_n in_o his_o dead_a body_n that_o we_o shall_v harbour_v all_o the_o filth_n and_o corruption_n imaginable_a in_o our_o immortal_a soul_n do_v he_o conquer_v and_o triumph_n over_o death_n that_o we_o shall_v be_v the_o slave_n and_o captive_n of_o that_o which_o be_v worse_o than_o death_n christ_n have_v declare_v that_o he_o will_v dwell_v in_o those_o who_o he_o assume_v into_o the_o society_n of_o his_o mystical_a body_n but_o can_v we_o think_v that_o he_o who_o pass_v from_o a_o clean_a new_a sepulchre_n into_o a_o heavenly_a mansion_n will_v descend_v from_o thence_o to_o take_v up_o his_o habitation_n in_o the_o rot_a sepulchre_n of_o a_o heart_n possess_v and_o pollute_v with_o the_o love_n of_o that_o which_o he_o infinite_o hate_v it_o will_v little_o avail_v we_o that_o christ_n rise_v from_o a_o temporal_a death_n unless_o we_o also_o rise_v from_o a_o spiritual_a for_o those_o who_o do_v not_o imitate_v as_o well_o as_o believe_v christ_n resurrection_n must_v expect_v no_o benefit_n by_o it_o 2._o christ_n resurrection_n be_v a_o high_a and_o sovereign_a consolation_n against_o death_n death_n we_o know_v be_v the_o grand_a enemy_n of_o mankind_n the_o merciless_a tyrant_n over_o nature_n and_o the_o king_n of_o terror_n but_o bless_a be_v god_n christ_n have_v give_v a_o mortal_a blow_n to_o his_o power_n and_o break_v his_o sceptre_n and_o if_o we_o by_o a_o through_o conquest_n of_o our_o sin_n and_o rise_v from_o they_o can_v be_v but_o able_a to_o say_v o_o sin_n where_o be_v thy_o power_n we_o may_v very_o rational_o and_o warrantable_o say_v thereupon_o o_o
suffering_n for_o sin_n but_o his_o be_v punish_v for_o sin_n and_o that_o i_o be_o sure_a be_v speak_v so_o plain_a and_o loud_o by_o the_o universal_a voice_n of_o the_o whole_a book_n of_o god_n that_o scripture_n must_v be_v crucify_a as_o well_o as_o christ_n to_o give_v any_o other_o tolerable_a sense_n of_o it_o but_o since_o heresy_n have_v make_v such_o bold_a invasion_n upon_o those_o sacred_a write_n we_o will_v consider_v both_o those_o sense_n which_o these_o word_n be_v assert_v to_o be_v capable_a of_o 1._o first_o of_o all_o then_o some_o assert_v that_o to_o be_v strike_v for_o transgression_n import_v not_o here_o a_o punishment_n for_o sin_n past_a but_o a_o prevention_n or_o take_v away_o of_o sin_n for_o the_o future_a so_o that_o christ_n be_v say_v to_o be_v strike_v to_o suffer_v and_o to_o die_v for_o sin_n because_o by_o all_o this_o he_o confirm_v to_o we_o a_o excellent_a and_o holy_a doctrine_n the_o belief_n of_o which_o have_v in_o it_o a_o natural_a aptness_n to_o draw_v man_n off_o from_o their_o sin_n in_o a_o word_n because_o christianity_n tend_v to_o make_v man_n holy_a and_o cease_v from_o sin_n and_o because_o christ_n by_o his_o blood_n seal_v the_o truth_n of_o christianity_n therefore_o be_v he_o say_v to_o die_v for_o sin_n a_o strange_a and_o remote_a deduction_n and_o such_o a_o one_o as_o the_o common_a rule_n and_o use_n of_o speak_v will_v never_o have_v suggest_v but_o then_o beside_o because_o it_o be_v easy_a to_o come_v upon_o the_o author_n of_o this_o perverse_a interpretation_n by_o demand_v of_o they_o what_o fitness_n there_o can_v be_v in_o christ_n death_n to_o confirm_v his_o doctrine_n and_o what_o reason_n the_o world_n can_v have_v to_o believe_v christianity_n true_a because_o the_o author_n of_o it_o a_o pious_a innocent_a excellent_a person_n be_v base_o and_o cruel_o put_v to_o death_n therefore_o they_o further_o say_v that_o this_o effect_n of_o its_o confirmation_n be_v real_o and_o indeed_o to_o be_v ascribe_v to_o his_o subsequent_a resurrection_n though_o only_o his_o death_n be_v still_o mention_v that_o be_v the_o most_o difficult_a and_o heroic_a passage_n of_o all_o that_o he_o either_o do_v or_o suffer_v for_o our_o sake_n and_o consequent_o the_o great_a instance_n of_o his_o patience_n and_o persuasion_n of_o the_o truth_n of_o that_o doctrine_n for_o which_o he_o suffer_v but_o by_o their_o favour_n if_o christ_n be_v say_v no_o otherwise_o to_o die_v for_o sin_n than_o because_o he_o deliver_v a_o doctrine_n the_o design_n of_o which_o be_v to_o draw_v man_n off_o from_o sin_n and_o which_o be_v confirm_v to_o be_v true_a only_o by_o his_o resurrection_n how_o come_v it_o to_o pass_v that_o this_o effect_n be_v still_o join_v with_o his_o death_n but_o never_o with_o his_o resurrection_n it_o be_v say_v over_o and_o over_o that_o he_o die_v for_o sin_n suffer_v and_o bleed_v for_o sin_n but_o never_o that_o he_o rise_v again_o for_o sin_n it_o be_v indeed_o say_v once_o that_o he_o rise_v again_o for_o our_o justification_n but_o in_o the_o very_o forego_v word_n it_o be_v say_v that_o he_o be_v deliver_v to_o death_n for_o our_o offence_n which_o show_v that_o those_o word_n for_o our_o offence_n and_o for_o our_o justification_n have_v there_o a_o very_a different_a sense_n and_o bear_v a_o different_a relation_n to_o the_o word_n with_o which_o they_o be_v join_v in_o that_o as_o well_o as_o in_o the_o other_o scripture_n but_o this_o whole_a invention_n be_v so_o force_a and_o far_o fetch_v and_o so_o much_o out_o of_o the_o road_n of_o common_a reason_n that_o it_o be_v impossible_a it_o shall_v gain_v but_o by_o the_o strength_n and_o prepossession_n of_o prejudice_n and_o where_o prejudice_n stand_v for_o judgement_n for_o aught_o i_o see_v it_o be_v as_o vain_a to_o urge_v argument_n as_o to_o quote_v scripture_n 2._o the_o other_o sense_n of_o these_o word_n and_o which_o alone_o the_o catholic_n church_n receive_v for_o true_a be_v that_o christ_n be_v strike_v for_o sin_n signify_v his_o be_v punish_v for_o sin_n the_o word_n for_o in_o this_o case_n denote_v the_o antecedent_n meritorious_a cause_n of_o his_o suffering_n and_o not_o the_o final_a as_o the_o school_n of_o socinus_n do_v assert_v and_o consequent_o must_v direct_o relate_v to_o the_o removal_n of_o the_o guilt_n of_o sin_n and_o not_o the_o power_n as_o be_v also_o affirm_v by_o the_o same_o person_n now_o that_o christ_n suffering_n and_o be_v strike_v for_o transgression_n import_v that_o suffering_n to_o have_v be_v penal_a and_o expiatory_a as_o it_o may_v with_o the_o high_a evidence_n be_v demonstrate_v from_o several_a scripture_n so_o at_o this_o time_n i_o shall_v confine_v myself_o within_o the_o limit_n of_o the_o chapter_n from_o whence_o i_o take_v my_o text_n and_o here_o i_o shall_v found_v the_o proof_n of_o it_o upon_o these_o two_o expression_n first_o that_o christ_n be_v say_v to_o have_v bear_v our_o sin_n in_o the_o 12._o v._n now_o to_o bear_v sin_n be_v a_o hebrew_n phrase_n for_o that_o which_o in_o latin_a be_v luere_fw-la peccatum_fw-la and_o in_o english_a to_o be_v punish_v for_o sin_n and_o if_o to_o bear_v another_o man_n sin_n or_o iniquity_n by_o suffering_n do_v not_o imply_v the_o undergo_n of_o the_o punishment_n due_a to_o that_o man_n sin_n we_o must_v invent_v a_o new_a way_n of_o expound_v profane_a writer_n as_o well_o as_o sacred_a and_o of_o interpret_n the_o common_a speech_n of_o man_n as_o well_o as_o the_o word_n of_o god_n second_o the_o other_o argument_n shall_v be_v take_v from_o that_o expression_n which_o declare_v christ_n to_o have_v be_v make_v a_o sacrifice_n or_o a_o offer_n for_o sin_n in_o the_o 10._o v._n when_o thou_o shall_v make_v his_o soul_n a_o offer_n for_o sin_n the_o proof_n of_o what_o i_o here_o affirm_v be_v ground_v upon_o the_o use_n and_o design_n of_o a_o sacrifice_n as_o it_o have_v be_v use_v by_o all_o nation_n in_o the_o world_n which_o be_v to_o appease_v the_o deity_n by_o pay_v down_o a_o life_n for_o sin_n and_o that_o by_o the_o substitution_n of_o a_o sacrifice_n whether_o of_o man_n or_o beast_n to_o die_v and_o pay_v down_o his_o life_n instead_o of_o the_o sinner_n for_o there_o be_v a_o tacit_n acknowledgement_n universal_o fix_v in_o the_o heart_n of_o all_o mankind_n that_o the_o wage_n of_o sin_n be_v death_n and_o that_o without_o shed_v of_o blood_n there_o can_v be_v no_o remission_n upon_o which_o be_v build_v the_o reason_n of_o all_o their_o sacrifice_n and_o victim_n so_o sure_o therefore_o as_o christ_n be_v a_o sacrifice_n and_o as_o the_o design_n of_o a_o sacrifice_n be_v to_o pay_v down_o a_o life_n for_o sin_n and_o as_o to_o pay_v down_o a_o life_n for_o sin_n be_v to_o be_v punish_v for_o sin_n so_o sure_o it_o be_v that_o christ_n death_n and_o suffering_n be_v penal_a now_o it_o be_v clear_a that_o the_o foundation_n of_o all_o punishment_n be_v compensation_n or_o exchange_n that_o be_v to_o say_v something_o pay_v down_o to_o divine_a justice_n for_o something_o do_v against_o it_o and_o since_o all_o compensation_n imply_v a_o retribution_n equivalent_a to_o the_o injury_n do_v therefore_o that_o christ_n may_v be_v qualify_v to_o be_v a_o sacrifice_n fit_a to_o undergo_v the_o full_a punishment_n due_a for_o the_o sin_n of_o mankind_n two_o thing_n be_v require_v 1._o a_o infinite_a dignity_n in_o his_o person_n for_o since_o the_o evil_a and_o demerit_n of_o sin_n be_v infinite_a and_o since_o christ_n be_v so_o to_o suffer_v for_o it_o as_o not_o to_o remain_v under_o those_o suffering_n for_o a_o infinite_a duration_n that_o infinity_o therefore_o be_v to_o be_v make_v up_o some_o other_o way_n which_o can_v not_o be_v but_o by_o the_o infinite_a worth_n and_o dignity_n of_o his_o person_n grasp_a in_o all_o the_o perfection_n and_o glory_n of_o the_o deity_n and_o by_o consequence_n derive_v a_o infinite_a value_n to_o his_o suffering_n 2._o the_o other_o qualification_n require_v be_v a_o perfect_a innocence_n in_o the_o person_n to_o suffer_v for_o so_o much_o be_v specify_v by_o the_o paschal_n lamb_n of_o which_o we_o still_o read_v in_o scripture_n that_o it_o be_v to_o be_v a_o lamb_n without_o blemish_n and_o there_o be_v no_o doubt_n but_o have_v christ_n have_v any_o sin_n of_o his_o own_o to_o have_v satisfy_v for_o he_o have_v be_v very_o unable_a to_o satisfy_v for_o other_o man_n he_o who_o be_v go_v to_o gaol_n for_o his_o own_o debt_n be_v very_o unfit_a to_o be_v a_o security_n for_o another_o but_o now_o this_o perfect_a innocence_n which_o i_o affirm_v necessary_a to_o render_v christ_n a_o fit_a and_o proper_a sacrifice_n be_v urge_v by_o our_o adversary_n to_o be_v the_o very_a reason_n
