which_o be_v as_o necessary_a in_o its_o kind_n for_o this_o great_a benefit_n as_o the_o meritorious_a cause_n be_v in_o its_o kind_n that_o though_o christ_n have_v bear_v such_o a_o man_n sin_n

thus_o they_o put_v their_o trust_n and_o confidence_n in_o what_o they_o have_v do_v but_o the_o scripture_n though_o it_o do_v indispensable_o command_v repentance_n in_o every_o one_o yet_o the_o

the_o material_a which_o do_v qualify_v the_o subject_n but_o have_v no_o influence_n into_o the_o mercy_n itself_o we_o read_v luk._n 7._o that_o mary_n magdalen_n have_v many_o sin_n pardon_v she_o because_o she_o love_v much_o but_o the_o parable_n of_o a_o creditor_n which_o forgive_v debt_n that_o be_v bring_v by_o our_o saviour_n to_o aggravate_v her_o kindness_n do_v plain_o show_v that_o he_o speak_v not_o of_o a_o love_n that_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o pardon_n of_o her_o sin_n but_o which_o be_v the_o effect_n of_o it_o god_n love_v melt_v her_o heart_n even_o as_o the_o sun_n do_v

to_o remove_v sin_n he_o will_v use_v no_o other_o expression_n but_o first_o it_o appear_v by_o the_o context_n that_o daniel_n give_v not_o this_o counsel_n in_o reference_n to_o justification_n and_o the_o pardon_n of_o his_o sin_n so_o as_o to_o be_v accept_v with_o god_n but_o to_o prolong_v and_o keep_v off_o that_o temporal_a judgement_n which_o be_v reveal_v in_o the_o vision_n as_o

and_o although_o by_o a_o metaphor_n it_o be_v apply_v to_o redeem_v and_o deliver_v yet_o that_o be_v always_o of_o man_n and_o person_n not_o thing_n especial_o it_o will_v be_v ridiculous_a to_o say_v redeem_v thy_o sin_n so_o that_o the_o meaning_n be_v that_o whereas_o before_o nabuchadnezzar_n have_v by_o injustice_n and_o oppression_n do_v much_o rapine_n and_o violence_n now_o daniel_n counsel_v he_o to_o break_v off_o such_o wicked_a way_n by_o the_o contrary_a expression_n of_o love_n and_o chastity_n so_o that_o this_o place_n give_v not_o any_o spiritual_a mercy_n to_o

of_o their_o soul_n they_o shall_v satisfy_v god_n and_o make_v he_o amends_o but_o this_o be_v so_o gross_a that_o the_o more_o learned_a of_o the_o papist_n be_v fain_o to_o mitigate_v the_o

be_v a_o acceptation_n or_o covenant_n by_o way_n of_o gift_n interpose_v whereby_o we_o may_v be_v able_a to_o satisfy_v and_o then_o further_o they_o say_v there_o can_v be_v satisfaction_n make_v to_o gain_v the_o friendship_n of_o god_n which_o sin_n have_v violate_v but_o to_o take_v away_o some_o thing_n of_o temporal_a punishment_n that_o belong_v to_o sin_n whole_a so_o that_o by_o all_o this_o which_o have_v be_v deliver_v we_o may_v give_v repentance_n those_o just_a and_o true_a bound_n which_o god_n word_n do_v assign_v to_o it_o and_o yet_o not_o give_v more_o than_o god_n word_n do_v neither_o may_v we_o think_v it_o a_o nicety_n or_o subtlety_n to_o make_v a_o difference_n between_o a_o qualification_n and_o a_o cause_n for_o if_o we_o do_v not_o we_o take_v off_o the_o

and_o by_o this_o we_o may_v see_v in_o what_o sense_n grace_n inherent_a or_o sanctification_n do_v expel_v sin_n for_o if_o we_o speak_v of_o the_o filth_n and_o pollution_n of_o sin_n so_o
