for_o god_n will_v have_v be_v just_a without_o this_o propitiation_n inflict_v the_o punishment_n on_o sinner_n themselves_o but_o then_o he_o will_v have_v be_v mere_o just_a and_o no_o justifier_n

see_v two_o cause_n of_o christ_n death_n the_o love_n of_o god_n to_o man_n one_o and_o the_o justice_n of_o god_n the_o other_o he_o be_v induce_v to_o this_o amaze_a act_n by_o his_o philanthropy_n his_o love_n of_o man_n and_o zeal_n of_o justice_n he_o so_o love_v the_o world_n that_o he_o give_v his_o only_a beget_v son_n that_o whosoever_o believe_v on_o he_o may_v not_o perish_v but_o may_v

be_v a_o loud_a testimony_n of_o his_o love_n to_o we_o and_o love_n to_o his_o law_n and_o justice_n of_o love_n to_o we_o that_o christ_n shall_v die_v rather_o than_o we_o perish_v and_o of_o love_n to_o his_o law_n and_o justice_n in_o that_o he_o hereby_o take_v order_n that_o they_o shall_v not_o be_v injure_v by_o his_o pardon_v of_o we_o yet_o observe_v well_o here_o for_o the_o understanding_n of_o the_o thing_n i_o have_v speak_v of_o and_o shall_v speak_v of_o depend_v much_o upon_o it_o that_o this_o love_n be_v not_o the_o love_n of_o complacency_n or_o rectoral_a love_n for_o that_o be_v and_o be_v the_o fruit_n of_o christ_n death_n but_o a_o love_n of_o pity_n such_o as_o be_v consistent_a with_o rectoral_a and_o legal_a hatred_n zaleucus_n may_v lawful_o have_v a_o love_n of_o pity_n to_o his_o son_n before_o his_o invent_a satisfaction_n but_o rectoral_a wrath_n and_o hatred_n he_o be_v bind_v in_o honour_n as_o a_o just_a rector_n to_o execute_v the_o law_n to_o keep_v it_o sacred_a and_o unblemished_a and_o this_o restrain_v his_o natural_a pity_n from_o do_v a_o injury_n to_o justice_n and_o this_o love_n that_o i_o be_o speak_v of_o be_v the_o love_n of_o one_o that_o be_v bind_v in_o honour_n and_o justice_n to_o be_v a_o enemy_n as_o thing_n stand_v but_o yet_o of_o one_o willing_a to_o find_v out_o some_o way_n that_o he_o may_v with_o safety_n to_o his_o honour_n and_o justice_n be_v a_o friend_n as_o governor_n that_o be_v may_v just_o not_o inflict_v the_o penalty_n thus_o you_o see_v the_o love_n of_o pity_n that_o send_v christ_n be_v not_o the_o fruit_n of_o christ_n death_n but_o his_o love_n of_o complacency_n his_o justify_v love_n pardon_v love_n rectoral_a love_n that_o be_v the_o fruit_n of_o his_o death_n 7._o
