thou_o a_o jewe_n and_o more_o blasphemouse_n than_o a_o devil_n think_v thou_o that_o christ_n redeem_v we_o who_o can_v not_o save_v himself_o if_o he_o suffer_v hell_n he_o be_v damn_v because_o

that_o christ_n by_o his_o death_n and_o passion_n pay_v a_o sufficient_a price_n and_o ransom_n both_o for_o soul_n and_o body_n 5._o eph_n 5._o and_o therefore_o saint_n paul_n say_v that_o in_o

earth_n 1._o â—_o pet._n 1._o to_o who_o saint_n peter_n subscribe_v avouch_v that_o we_o be_v redeem_v not_o with_o gold_n nor_o silver_n but_o with_o the_o preciouse_a blood_n of_o the_o immaculate_a lamb_n and_o never_o shall_v john_n caluin_n find_v either_o scripture_n or_o father_n that_o say_v that_o christ_n suffer_v the_o pain_n of_o hell_n for_o our_o redemption_n but_o rather_o he_o shall_v find_v that_o they_o attribute_v our_o redemption_n to_o the_o passion_n and_o pang_n of_o death_n of_o christ_n body_n and_o therefore_o if_o caluin_n will_v stand_v to_o it_o that_o christ_n passion_n be_v only_o able_a to_o ransom_n our_o body_n but_o not_o our_o soul_n he_o detract_v from_o the_o dignity_n of_o christ_n death_n and_o see_v that_o the_o scripture_n and_o father_n acknowledge_v no_o other_o price_n to_o have_v be_v offer_v for_o we_o then_o christ_n death_n and_o passion_n if_o that_o be_v deficient_a then_o according_a to_o caluin_n christ_n be_v no_o complete_a redeemer_n but_o he_o press_v we_o with_o a_o argument_n which_o he_o count_v insoluble_a supra_fw-la supra_fw-la for_o say_v he_o he_o that_o satisfi_v for_o another_o must_v pay_v the_o debt_n which_o he_o owe_v and_o sustain_v the_o pain_n which_o he_o deserve_v and_o therefore_o because_o we_o deserve_v the_o pain_n of_o hell_n and_o be_v to_o suffer_v they_o both_o in_o soul_n &_o body_n it_o be_v necessary_a that_o christ_n in_o soul_n shall_v suffer_v the_o pain_n of_o hell_n else_o have_v he_o beme_fw-mi but_o half_a a_o redeemer_n but_o by_o this_o argument_n christ_n shall_v have_v endure_v in_o hell_n perpetual_a torment_n and_o so_o shall_v never_o have_v redeem_v we_o because_o he_o shall_v himself_o have_v be_v a_o perpetual_a prisoner_n for_o if_o christ_n must_v needs_o suffer_v the_o self_n same_o pain_n which_o we_o deserve_v then_o must_v he_o according_a to_o caluins_n rule_n have_v endure_v a_o perpetual_a hell_n because_o that_o be_v the_o punishment_n prepare_v for_o we_o and_o see_v that_o eternal_a punishment_n never_o come_v to_o a_o end_n christ_n shall_v never_o have_v pay_v the_o ransom_n due_v for_o sin_n and_o so_o we_o shall_v never_o have_v be_v redeem_v wherefore_o i_o say_v that_o christ_n passion_n to_o the_o sufferance_n of_o which_o both_o christ_n body_n and_o soul_n concur_v for_o the_o body_n by_o itself_o alone_o can_v not_o suffer_v pain_n be_v a_o sufficient_a ransom_n to_o redeem_v both_o our_o soul_n and_o our_o body_n from_o hell_n and_o damnation_n and_o therefore_o to_o that_o only_a and_o not_o to_o the_o pain_n of_o hell_n the_o scripture_n &_o father_n do_v attribute_v our_o redemption_n chap._n see_v the_o three_o book_n &_o third_n chap._n and_o this_o as_o i_o have_v prove_v already_o be_v

a_o thousand_o world_n yea_o the_o deville_n &_o damn_a also_o nether_a must_v caluin_n be_v so_o rigorous_a as_o to_o think_v that_o no_o satisfaction_n can_v be_v sufficient_a unless_o it_o be_v of_o the_o same_o kind_n with_o the_o debt_n which_o be_v to_o be_v pay_v or_o the_o harm_n which_o be_v to_o be_v repair_v for_o if_o one_o of_o caluins_n brotherhood_n have_v cut_v of_o the_o arm_n of_o another_o brother_n will_v not_o a_o piece_n of_o money_n have_v make_v satisfaction_n for_o the_o maim_n or_o will_v caluin_n have_v exact_v arm_n for_o arm_n and_o if_o one_o have_v owght_v

opinion_n contrition_n which_o be_v inherrent_fw-la in_o we_o can_v not_o be_v our_o justification_n because_o they_o say_v that_o there_o be_v no_o inherent_a grace_n nor_o justice_n and_o if_o before_o this_o faith_n of_o they_o god_n shall_v by_o infusion_n of_o grace_n justify_v they_o yet_o unless_o they_o have_v a_o revelation_n they_o can_v not_o especial_o with_o such_o assurance_n believe_v it_o because_o the_o understanding_n can_v not_o give_v assent_n without_o some_o apparaunce_n of_o truth_n they_o will_v say_v that_o christ_n justice_n be_v they_o so_o that_o they_o

they_o believe_v this_o christ_n justice_n must_v be_v they_o and_o by_o it_o they_o must_v be_v just_a because_o that_o be_v the_o object_n of_o their_o belief_n and_o the_o understanding_n must_v see_v it_o to_o be_v so_o before_o she_o believe_v so_o wherefore_o see_v that_o before_o this_o faith_n of_o they_o christ_n justice_n be_v not_o they_o and_o they_o also_o be_v not_o yet_o just_a it_o followethe_v that_o they_o can_v not_o so_o long_o as_o they_o be_v in_o their_o wit_n believe_v that_o they_o be_v just_a because_o this_o verity_n must_v appear_v to_o the_o understanding_n before_o she_o can_v believe_v it_o and_o therefore_o if_o before_o faith_n they_o be_v not_o just_a they_o can_v never_o believe_v so_o for_o as_o the_o sick_a man_n must_v be_v whole_a and_o sound_a before_o he_o can_v believe_v that_o he_o be_v so_o because_o it_o be_v not_o in_o his_o power_n to_o believe_v that_o which_o be_v not_o or_o which_o at_o lest_o appear_v not_o so_o a_o sinner_n can_v not_o on_o a_o sudden_a unless_o he_o have_v some_o reason_n for_o it_o believe_v assurd_o that_o he_o be_v just_a and_o therefore_o if_o this_o assure_a faith_n be_v necessary_a to_o arise_v after_o our_o fall_n take_v by_o sin_n it_o be_v impossible_a to_o rise_v again_o after_o that_o we_o be_v fall_v and_o to_o make_v the_o matter_n yet_o more_o plain_a as_o if_o the_o only_a remedy_n for_o a_o sick_a man_n to_o recover_v his_o health_n be_v to_o believe_v that_o he_o be_v well_o it_o be_v impossible_a for_o he_o to_o recover_v because_o while_o his_o disease_n remain_v he_o can_v not_o believe_v that_o he_o be_v recover_v have_v no_o reason_n to_o think_v so_o but_o rather_o the_o contrary_a so_o if_o the_o only_a mean_n for_o a_o sinner_n to_o recover_v be_v to_o believe_v in_o the_o midst_n of_o his_o sin_n that_o he_o be_v just_a it_o be_v impossible_a for_o he_o to_o recover_v because_o he_o can_v not_o with_o heart_n think_v so_o have_v no_o reason_n for_o it_o but_o rather_o to_o the_o contrary_n hence_o i_o gather_v twoe_n thing_n to_o be_v note_v first_o that_o if_o a_o sinner_n be_v justify_v by_o believe_v that_o he_o be_v just_a then_o be_v he_o justify_v by_o a_o lie_a faith_n because_o he_o be_v leeve_v that_o which_o be_v not_o and_o if_o you_o say_v that_o so_o soon_o as_o he_o have_v believe_v so_o he_o shall_v be_v so_o that_o be_v not_o sufficient_a for_o yet_o it_o follow_v that_o he_o believe_v that_o he_o be_v just_a before_o he_o be_v just_a because_o justice_n follow_v faith_n &_o so_o he_o be_v justify_v by_o a_o false_a and_o lie_a faith_n the_o second_o thing_n which_o i_o note_v be_v how_o malicious_o and_o yet_o how_o covert_o the_o devil_n by_o his_o member_n seek_v our_o damnation_n for_o not_o content_a by_o

only_a mean_n for_o a_o sinner_n to_o be_v justify_v be_v to_o beeleeve_v without_o all_o stagger_a and_o with_o all_o possible_a assurance_n that_o his_o sin_n be_v forgive_v which_o belief_n be_v impossible_a as_o be_v already_o prove_v because_o it_o be_v not_o in_o the_o understanding_n power_n to_o believe_v white_a to_o be_v black_a or_o that_o a_o man_n be_v just_a when_o no_o probability_n of_o it_o appear_v it_o follow_v that_o when_o a_o sinner_n be_v fall_v it_o be_v impossible_a for_o he_o to_o rise_v again_o because_o it_o be_v as_o impossible_a for_o he_o to_o

be_v in_o the_o midst_n of_o the_o fit_n of_o a_o hot_a ageve_v or_o in_o the_o pang_n of_o death_n and_o so_o our_o reformer_n do_v not_o only_o tumble_v we_o headlong_o into_o the_o very_a depth_n of_o sin_n but_o hold_v we_o there_o in_o perpetual_a durance_n without_o hope_n of_o liberty_n because_o they_o require_v at_o our_o hand_n a_o impossibility_n which_o be_v in_o the_o midst_n of_o
