by_o save_a man_n and_o clear_v the_o guilty_a only_o a_o pacify_v of_o god_n and_o a_o acquit_v man_n from_o the_o penalty_n as_o he_o imagine_v which_o as_o he_o say_v god_n can_v not_o do_v but_o something_o that_o be_v not_o god_n but_o the_o offspring_n of_o man_n as_o he_o say_v so_o by_o this_o he_o do_v not_o mean_a salvation_n to_o be_v a_o work_n wrought_v in_o man_n as_o a_o save_n and_o deliver_v from_o sin_n or_o the_o offence_n within_o but_o a_o satisfaction_n make_v to_o god_n that_o he_o may_v embrace_v the_o offender_n and_o yet_o he_o must_v be_v in_o christ_n that_o

gross_a error_n so_o to_o say_v this_o be_v all_o one_o to_o say_v god_n can_v please_v himself_o but_o some_o other_o must_v do_v it_o and_o this_o be_v to_o deny_v that_o god_n have_v infinite_a love_n good_a will_n and_o favour_n in_o himself_o as_o the_o real_a cause_n of_o his_o send_v his_o son_n into_o the_o world_n and_o then_o i_o ask_v who_o be_v he_o that_o satisfy_v and_o appease_v

how_o will_v this_o divide_v god_n and_o set_v he_o at_o a_o distance_n from_o himself_o if_o that_o which_o satisfy_v be_v of_o infinite_a worth_n then_o whence_o come_v all_o these_o distinction_n tend_v to_o make_v a_o variableness_n in_o god_n who_o love_n be_v infinite_a and_o who_o way_n be_v way_n of_o truth_n and_o righteousness_n or_o be_v it_o good_a doctrine_n to_o say_v that_o god_n pacify_v god_n when_o he_o see_v himself_o angry_a for_o say_v the_o baptist_n it_o be_v god-man_n that_o do_v it_o which_o be_v all_o one_o as_o to_o say_v god_n correct_v himself_o and_o not_o man_n while_o perfection_n and_o freedom_n from_o sin_n be_v deny_v in_o this_o life_n by_o baptist_n and_o other_o and_o then_o he_o be_v mediator_n to_o himself_o and_o so_o a_o mediator_n of_o one_o whereas_o a_o mediator_n be_v not_o a_o mediator_n of_o one_o but_o god_n be_v one_o gal._n 3.20_o and_o the_o cause_n of_o his_o displeasure_n and_o of_o the_o law_n and_o sentence_n of_o death_n
