that_o it_o be_v not_o of_o eternal_a virtue_n the_o second_o proposition_n be_v that_o christ_n do_v not_o offer_v himself_o often_o he_o must_v offer_v and_o offer_v himself_o and_o by_o his_o own_o

and_o see_v the_o punishment_n be_v death_n death_n must_v first_o be_v suffer_v this_o be_v thus_o appoint_v and_o do_v to_o signify_v his_o pure_a holiness_n his_o hatred_n and_o detestation_n of_o
