but_o that_o which_o yet_o heighten_v these_o suffering_n of_o christ_n be_v to_o consider_v from_o who_o he_o suffer_v these_o thing_n it_o be_v from_o sinner_n which_o be_v as_o much_o as_o to_o

be_v a_o far_o great_a reflection_n on_o those_o who_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o it_o and_o that_o our_o bless_a saviour_n do_v suffer_v with_o the_o great_a injustice_n from_o these_o man_n be_v

be_v what_o he_o say_v the_o son_n of_o god_n what_o horrible_a guilt_n be_v it_o in_o they_o to_o imbrue_v their_o hand_n in_o his_o blood_n and_o they_o find_v he_o always_o attest_v it_o and_o now_o be_v willing_a to_o lay_v down_o his_o life_n to_o confirm_v the_o truth_n of_o what_o he_o say_v this_o sure_o aught_o at_o least_o to_o have_v make_v they_o more_o inquisitive_a into_o what_o he_o have_v affirm_v but_o they_o allow_v he_o not_o the_o liberty_n of_o a_o fair_a trial_n they_o hasten_v and_o precipitate_v the_o sentence_n that_o they_o may_v do_v so_o the_o execution_n if_o he_o be_v condemn_v as_o a_o false_a prophet_n for_o that_o seem_v to_o be_v the_o occasion_n of_o the_o sanhedrim_n meet_v to_o do_v it_o to_o who_o the_o cognisance_n of_o that_o do_v particular_o

but_o suppose_v that_o he_o have_v a_o divine_a as_o well_o as_o humane_a nature_n there_o may_v not_o be_v so_o great_a a_o proportion_n of_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o world_n to_o the_o suffering_n of_o christ_n as_o of_o the_o sin_n of_o a_o particular_a person_n to_o his_o own_o suffering_n and_o therefore_o the_o argument_n from_o one_o to_o the_o other_o do_v still_o hold_v for_o the_o measure_n of_o punishment_n must_v be_v take_v with_o a_o proportion_n to_o the_o dignity_n of_o the_o person_n who_o suffer_v they_o and_o crellius_n himself_o confess_v elsewhere_o that_o the_o

deter_v man_n from_o sin_n than_o a_o great_a punishment_n of_o one_o much_o less_o but_o he_o yet_o further_o urge_v that_o the_o severity_n of_o god_n against_o sinner_n may_v be_v discover_v in_o the_o suffering_n of_o christ_n because_o 70._o god_n hatred_n against_o sin_n be_v discover_v therein_o but_o if_o we_o ask_v how_o god_n hatred_n against_o sin_n be_v see_v in_o the_o suffering_n of_o one_o perfect_o innocent_a and_o free_a from_o sin_n and_o not_o rather_o his_o hatred_n of_o innocency_n if_o no_o respect_n to_o sin_n be_v have_v therein_o he_o answer_n that_o god_n hatred_n against_o sin_n be_v manifest_v in_o that_o he_o will_v not_o spare_v his_o only_a son_n to_o draw_v man_n off_o from_o sin_n for_o answer_v to_o which_o we_o be_v to_o consider_v the_o suffering_n of_o christ_n as_o a_o innocent_a person_n design_v as_o a_o exemplary_a cause_n to_o draw_v man_n off_o from_o sin_n and_o let_v any_o one_o tell_v i_o what_o hatred_n of_o sin_n can_v possible_o

show_v his_o hatred_n to_o sin_n i_o answer_v 1._o this_o be_v carry_v the_o dispute_n off_o from_o the_o present_a business_n for_o we_o be_v not_o now_o argue_v about_o the_o design_n of_o christ_n
