violent_a fearful_a effect_n which_o will_v be_v but_o cruelty_n and_o vanity_n shall_v a_o rule_n or_o scripture_n be_v discover_v to_o vicious_a man_n and_o also_o in_o seek_v for_o a_o cure_n and_o

and_o it_o appear_v there_o that_o he_o shall_v be_v the_o eternal_a word_n the_o son_n of_o god_n who_o shall_v take_v upon_o he_o the_o seed_n of_o man_n become_v flesh_n and_o suffer_v for_o man_n sin_n there_o be_v one_o truth_n in_o scripture_n and_o reason_n be_v not_o here_o according_a to_o our_o former_a conclusion_n man_n to_o suffer_v for_o the_o offence_n god_n to_o overcome_v and_o by_o reason_n of_o the_o union_n contract_v with_o man_n nature_n to_o suffer_v also_o thereby_o to_o make_v up_o a_o full_a infinite_a satisfaction_n even_o as_o infinite_a as_o jehovah_n himself_o as_o it_o must_v be_v as_o aforesaid_a but_o as_o it_o be_v not_o therefore_o requisite_a to_o justice_n so_o it_o be_v impossible_a according_a to_o the_o conceit_n of_o some_o that_o this_o word_n or_o son_n of_o god_n shall_v suffer_v in_o his_o very_a essence_n it_o be_v the_o same_o with_o jehovah_n himself_o as_o aforesaid_a also_o though_o it_o be_v necessary_a in_o respect_n of_o union_n with_o the_o divine_a nature_n that_o it_o shall_v be_v pure_a that_o be_v to_o suffer_v yet_o it_o be_v not_o necessary_a to_o satisfaction_n as_o be_v conceive_v for_o a_o sufficient_a infinite_a satisfaction_n by_o man_n nature_n must_v discharge_v man_n kind_n to_o exact_a justice_n as_o aforesaid_a let_v we_o therefore_o see_v if_o this_o satisfaction_n be_v perform_v although_o it_o be_v not_o necessary_a as_o some_o have_v weak_o imagine_v that_o this_o shall_v be_v perform_v before_o there_o be_v any_o benefit_n to_o be_v receive_v thereby_o for_o a_o certain_a though_o after_o performance_n of_o what_o be_v due_a to_o justice_n be_v sufficient_a especial_o to_o jehovah_n to_o who_o all_o time_n and_o thing_n be_v as_o actual_o and_o real_o as_o they_o be_v in_o themselves_o present_a in_o this_o old_a testament_n we_o find_v it_o only_o declare_v not_o perform_v for_o although_o in_o many_o part_n of_o it_o it_o speak_v a_o present_a performance_n but_o that_o be_v only_o in_o determination_n and_o benefit_n of_o it_o at_o that_o present_a time_n to_o they_o seek_v we_o therefore_o if_o we_o can_v find_v since_o any_o performance_n of_o it_o for_o it_o be_v necessary_a that_o it_o be_v sometime_o do_v in_o a_o book_n call_v the_o new_a testament_n or_o gospel_n we_o find_v there_o be_v a_o full_a punctual_a performance_n this_o book_n run_v also_o
