because_o it_o be_v mr._n b_n pleasure_n why_o will_v it_o not_o be_v better_o distribute_v unless_o to_o serve_v a_o turn_n punishment_n be_v either_o just_a or_o unjust_a just_o be_v either_o that_o

his_o punishment_n can_v not_o be_v proper_a in_o the_o strict_a sense_n r._n but_o if_o christ_n die_v for_o sin_n he_o die_v as_o sinner_n die_v though_o he_o do_v no_o sin_n and_o in_o that_o

his_o law_n it_o can_v not_o be_v but_o proper_a punishment_n for_o all_o just_a punishment_n be_v proper_a punishment_n the_o bp_o himself_o show_v that_o this_o will_v not_o hold_v water_n for_o whereas_o mr._n b._n distinguish_v of_o punishment_n by_o false_a imputation_n and_o call_v it_o unjust_a but_o analogical_a and_o the_o punishment_n of_o another_o by_o consent_n he_o call_v analogical_a but_o not_o unjust_a the_o bp_o answer_n if_o the_o punishment_n be_v just_a the_o cause_n must_v be_v just_a and_o christ_n can_v not_o be_v just_a with_o relation_n to_o his_o own_o

to_o be_v the_o meritorious_a cause_n of_o it_o and_o the_o punishment_n a_o proper_a punishment_n although_o for_o another_o fault_n what_o can_v be_v say_v more_o direct_o and_o demonstrative_o against_o mr._n b._n in_o this_o point_n the_o argument_n be_v this_o that_o punishment_n which_o be_v just_a must_v have_v a_o just_a cause_n of_o fault_n either_o in_o the_o person_n suffer_v or_o some_o other_o and_o that_o cause_n be_v true_o meritorious_a and_o the_o punishment_n a_o proper_a punishment_n but_o the_o punishment_n of_o christ_n be_v such_o therefore_o a_o proper_a punishment_n have_v thus_o throw_v mr._n b._n on_o his_o back_n he_o endeavour_v to_o make_v some_o little_a excuse_n for_o he_o that_o which_o lead_v mr._n b._n in_o deny_v of_o it_o be_v the_o
