the_o divinity_n and_o satisfaction_n of_o christ_n that_o i_o name_v no_o more_o point_n otherwise_o then_o the_o church_n do_v always_o and_o i_o affirm_v he_o do_v it_o not_o because_o he_o think_v

of_o word_n by_o which_o the_o scripture_n do_v express_v christ_n suffering_n for_o our_o sin_n in_o our_o stead_n as_o our_o sacrifice_n against_o the_o universal_a notion_n of_o those_o word_n not_o only_o which_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n but_o which_o the_o jew_n and_o which_o the_o heathen_a world_n have_v of_o they_o and_o when_o his_o reason_n tell_v he_o that_o christ_n can_v not_o

thus_o that_o god_n by_o christ_n will_v at_o last_o destroy_v these_o heaven_n and_o this_o earth_n and_o change_v they_o according_a to_o that_o say_n in_o the_o psalm_n which_o although_o the_o apostle_n produce_v at_o length_n as_o it_o stand_v there_o both_o concern_v the_o creation_n and_o destruction_n of_o the_o world_n yet_o he_o intend_v only_o to_o apply_v this_o last_o to_o

of_o thy_o hand_n as_o thou_o shall_v change_v they_o yet_o he_o mean_v no_o more_o but_o that_o this_o change_n god_n will_v effect_v by_o christ._n it_o be_v not_o possible_a that_o the_o text_n can_v give_v any_o the_o least_o countenance_n to_o this_o interpretation_n the_o different_a explication_n of_o this_o scripture_n do_v not_o come_v from_o the_o obscurity_n of_o any_o word_n in_o it_o for_o in_o the_o psalm_n they_o and_o we_o understand_v the_o same_o word_n in_o the_o same_o sense_n exact_o therefore_o that_o we_o differ_v here_o be_v not_o from_o any_o thing_n in_o the_o
