observe_v these_o thing_n 1._o that_o man_n suffer_v be_v not_o a_o thing_n please_v to_o god_n in_o and_o for_o itself_o but_o for_o its_o end_n viz._n the_o demonstration_n of_o justice_n and_o

that_o christ_n will_v suffer_v death_n without_o first_o consider_v somewhat_o else_o that_o require_v that_o suffering_n and_o something_o that_o put_v a_o value_n upon_o it_o 3._o so_o that_o the_o

the_o follow_a effect_n of_o christ_n death_n do_v all_o presuppose_v the_o satisfaction_n of_o justice_n and_o hence_o christ_n death_n become_v so_o please_v to_o god_n not_o as_o death_n but_o as_o

you_o will_v find_v that_o god_n can_v not_o give_v remission_n justification_n and_o salvation_n from_o punishment_n without_o christ_n satisfaction_n but_o he_o can_v have_v give_v faith_n in_o christ_n if_o you_o will_v suppose_v it_o to_o go_v alone_o without_o the_o former_a benefit_n without_o satisfaction_n i_o say_v he_o can_v not_o give_v the_o former_a not_o by_o reason_n of_o any_o
