of_o god_n in_o he_o hereby_o we_o understand_v how_o so_o innocent_a a_o person_n come_v to_o suffer_v he_o stand_v in_o our_o stead_n he_o be_v make_v sin_n for_o we_o and_o therefore_o be_v to_o be_v treat_v as_o a_o sinner_n and_o to_o suffer_v that_o on_o our_o account_n which_o he_o can_v not_o deserve_v on_o his_o own_o if_o he_o suffer_v on_o his_o own_o account_n this_o be_v the_o way_n to_o fill_v our_o mind_n with_o perplexity_n concern_v the_o justice_n of_o providence_n with_o respect_n to_o his_o deal_n with_o the_o most_o innocent_a and_o holy_a person_n in_o this_o world_n if_o he_o suffer_v on_o our_o account_n than_o we_o have_v the_o benefit_n of_o his_o suffering_n and_o therein_o we_o see_v how_o displease_v to_o god_n sin_n be_v when_o even_o his_o own_o son_n suffer_v so_o much_o by_o take_v the_o guilt_n of_o our_o sin_n upon_o he_o and_o what_o can_v tend_v more_o to_o the_o beget_n in_o we_o a_o due_a hatred_n of_o sin_n than_o to_o consider_v what_o christ_n himself_o suffer_v on_o the_o account_n of_o it_o what_o can_v make_v we_o have_v more_o dreadful_a thought_n of_o it_o than_o that_o the_o great_a and_o merciful_a god_n when_o he_o design_v to_o save_v sinner_n yet_o will_v have_v his_o own_o son_n to_o become_v a_o propitiation_n for_o the_o sin_n of_o mankind_n and_o unless_o we_o allow_v this_o we_o must_v put_v force_n upon_o the_o plain_a expression_n of_o scripture_n and_o make_v christ_n to_o suffer_v mere_o to_o show_v god_n power_n over_o a_o most_o innocent_a person_n and_o his_o will_n and_o pleasure_n to_o inflict_v the_o most_o severe_a punishment_n without_o any_o respect_n to_o gild_n and_o sure_o such_o a_o notion_n of_o god_n can_v be_v worthy_a of_o all_o acceptation_n 3._o which_o tend_v most_o to_o strengthen_v our_o hope_n of_o salvation_n by_o christ_n jesus_n if_o we_o believe_v that_o he_o suffer_v for_o our_o sin_n than_o we_o have_v great_a reason_n to_o hope_v for_o the_o forgiveness_n of_o they_o although_o they_o have_v be_v many_o and_o great_a if_o we_o sincere_o repent_v because_o the_o most_o prevail_a argument_n for_o despair_n will_v be_v remove_v which_o be_v take_v from_o the_o justice_n of_o god_n and_o his_o declare_a hatred_n of_o sin_n and_o displeasure_n against_o sinner_n if_o god_n be_v so_o much_o in_o earnest_n displease_v with_o the_o sin_n of_o mankind_n and_o his_o justice_n be_v concern_v in_o the_o punishment_n of_o sinner_n how_o can_v they_o ever_o hope_v to_o escape_v unless_o there_o be_v a_o way_n for_o his_o displeasure_n to_o be_v remove_v and_o his_o justice_n to_o be_v satisfy_v and_o this_o the_o scripture_n tell_v we_o be_v do_v by_o christ_n who_o die_v that_o he_o may_v be_v a_o sacrifice_n of_o atonement_n to_o reconcile_v we_o to_o god_n by_o his_o death_n as_o s._n paul_n express_o affirm_v 9.15_o and_o by_o this_o mean_n we_o may_v have_v strong_a consolation_n from_o the_o hope_n of_o forgiveness_n of_o our_o sin_n whereas_o if_o this_o be_v take_v away_o either_o man_n must_v believe_v that_o god_n be_v not_o in_o earnest_n displease_v with_o the_o sin_n of_o mankind_n which_o must_v exceed_o lessen_v our_o esteem_n of_o the_o holiness_n and_o justice_n of_o god_n or_o if_o he_o be_v so_o displease_v that_o he_o lay_v aside_o his_o displeasure_n without_o any_o atonement_n or_o sacrifice_n of_o expiation_n and_o so_o as_o many_o as_o look_v on_o god_n justice_n and_o holiness_n as_o necessary_a and_o essential_a attribute_n of_o god_n will_v be_v in_o danger_n of_o sink_v into_o the_o depth_n of_o despair_n as_o often_o as_o they_o reflect_v serious_o on_o the_o gild_n of_o their_o sin_n but_o on_o the_o other_o side_n if_o we_o believe_v that_o while_o we_o be_v enemy_n we_o be_v reconcile_v to_o god_n by_o the_o death_n of_o his_o son_n then_o we_o may_v have_v peace_n with_o god_n through_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o have_v reason_n to_o believe_v that_o there_o will_v be_v no_o condemnation_n to_o they_o that_o be_v in_o christ_n jesus_n by_o a_o lively_a faith_n and_o sincere_a repentance_n then_o they_o may_v with_o comfort_n look_v up_o to_o god_n as_o
