not_o only_o our_o repentance_n and_o belief_n in_o god_n be_v take_v for_o a_o sacrifice_n and_o price_n give_v to_o god_n for_o man_n redemption_n it_o will_v follow_v that_o most_o of_o the_o world_n be_v damn_v by_o god_n will_n without_o any_o remedy_n to_o which_o they_o can_v have_v recourse_n for_o salvation_n answ_n first_o it_o be_v strange_a that_o man_n shall_v be_v leave_v remediless_a if_o christ_n and_o not_o only_o their_o repentance_n be_v the_o remedy_n sure_o if_o christ_n have_v give_v sinner_n nothing_o yet_o he_o have_v take_v nothing_o from_o they_o second_o we_o all_o confess_v the_o universal_a necessity_n of_o repentance_n but_o this_o be_v partly_o coordinate_a as_o the_o end_n and_o partly_o subordinate_a as_o a_o effect_n and_o therefore_o not_o contrary_a to_o the_o necessity_n of_o a_o redeemer_n repentance_n be_v our_o conversion_n and_o our_o begin_a recovery_n from_o sin_n and_o will_v it_o follow_v that_o the_o physician_n be_v unnecessary_a because_o health_n and_o recovery_n be_v necessary_a yea_o and_o sufficient_a in_o their_o kind_n three_o how_o do_v it_o follow_v that_o the_o remedy_n be_v not_o universal_a when_o redemption_n by_o christ_n be_v universal_a christ_n so_o far_o die_v for_o all_o man_n as_o by_o his_o death_n he_o procure_v they_o any_o grace_n but_o he_o procure_v grace_n though_o not_o equal_a grace_n for_o all_o you_o confess_v a_o universal_a grace_n and_o yet_o a_o inequality_n of_o benefit_n we_o say_v that_o grace_n be_v procure_v by_o christ_n do_v we_o narrow_a it_o at_o all_o by_o say_v christ_n procure_v it_o four_o i_o perceive_v some_o man_n mis-explication_n of_o these_o thing_n be_v your_o snare_n and_o scandal_n first_o we_o distinguish_v between_o christ_n procurement_n of_o our_o pardon_n and_o salvation_n by_o his_o sacrifice_n and_o merit_n with_o god_n and_o christ_n as_o the_o object_n of_o man_n faith_n or_o as_o believe_v in_o by_o man_n we_o do_v not_o make_v the_o latter_a so_o universal_o necessary_a as_o the_o former_a for_o we_o hold_v that_o infant_n be_v save_v that_o believe_v not_o but_o we_o hold_v that_o no_o one_o be_v save_v for_o who_o christ_n do_v not_o satisfy_v god_n justice_n and_o merit_n salvation_n second_o and_o that_o this_o much_o causless_o offend_v you_o not_o we_o say_v that_o this_o satisfaction_n and_o merit_n consist_v not_o in_o a_o identity_n or_o gradual_a proportion_n of_o christ_n pain_n or_o suffering_n to_o all_o mankind_n but_o in_o a_o aptitude_n of_o his_o sacrifice_n and_o righteousness_n to_o attain_v the_o end_n of_o god_n the_o sovoraign_n of_o the_o world_n the_o demonstration_n of_o his_o truth_n holiness_n and_o right_a cousness_n together_o with_o triumphant_a love_n and_o mercy_n better_o than_o the_o remediless_a damnation_n of_o all_o the_o sin_v world_n will_v have_v do_v read_v but_o master_n trumans_n great_a propitiation_n which_o show_v you_o the_o true_a end_n of_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o christ_n and_o this_o unjust_a offence_n will_v vanish_v three_o and_o we_o maintain_v as_o be_v say_v that_o the_o merit_n and_o propitiation_n wrought_v by_o christ_n be_v not_o to_o make_v our_o repentance_n needless_a but_o to_o procure_v it_o and_o to_o make_v it_o effectual_a to_o its_o end_n he_o give_v we_o repentance_n and_o remission_n of_o sin_n you_o confess_v that_o we_o may_v and_o must_v make_v a_o new_a covenant_n with_o god_n upon_o our_o repentance_n in_o that_o covenant_n god_n promise_v we_o grace_n as_o we_o consent_v to_o be_v his_o servant_n and_o child_n now_o if_o christ_n do_v procure_v and_o as_o god_n general_n administrator_n give_v we_o that_o promise_n of_o pardon_n and_o salvation_n to_o the_o true_o penitent_a do_v not_o this_o more_o oblige_v we_o to_o repentance_n and_o not_o less_o and_o the_o merit_n of_o repentance_n if_o you_o will_v so_o call_v it_o with_o the_o ancient_n be_v quite_o of_o another_o order_n rank_n and_o nature_n than_o the_o merit_n of_o christ_n it_o be_v one_o thing_n for_o the_o innocent_a son_n of_o god_n to_o merit_v repentance_n and_o pardon_v to_o all_o that_o will_v repent_v and_o another_o thing_n by_o repent_v through_o his_o grace_n to_o perform_v the_o condition_n of_o the_o further_a grace_n of_o pardon_n or_o salvation_n four_o and_o yet_o further_o to_o heal_v your_o unjust_a offence_n we_o do_v not_o hold_v that_o christ_n make_v god_n more_o merciful_a than_o he_o be_v or_o that_o his_o redemption_n be_v the_o first_o cause_n of_o our_o recovery_n and_o salvation_n cause_v god_n to_o be_v willing_a who_o be_v unwilling_a before_o but_o that_o god_n love_n and_o mercy_n and_o his_o own_o good_a will_n be_v the_o first_o cause_n which_o give_v we_o christ_n for_o a_o redeemer_n as_o a_o second_o cause_n a_o effect_n of_o his_o love_n and_o the_o head_n of_o all_o the_o mean_n of_o our_o recovery_n and_o the_o true_a merit_a cause_n of_o that_o grace_n and_o salvation_n which_o god_n will_v give_v we_o nor_o so_o merit_v as_o to_o change_n god_n but_o so_o merit_v as_o to_o remove_v the_o impediment_n of_o his_o grace_n as_o to_o the_o
