viz._n that_o christ_n be_v not_o a_o proper_a head_n representative_a and_o surety_n but_o do_v all_o as_o a_o mediator_n only_o i._n e._n as_o one_o endeavour_v to_o compose_v the_o difference_n betwixt_o god_n and_o we_o but_o the_o contrary_a i_o shall_v now_o prove_v namely_o that_o christ_n suffer_v as_o our_o head_n representative_a and_o surety_n first_o we_o must_v prove_v that_o he_o become_v our_o surety_n second_o that_o he_o die_v in_o our_o stead_n place_n and_o room_n and_o these_o two_o will_v magnify_v the_o grace_n of_o god_n in_o our_o justification_n and_o 1._o consider_v god_n he_o be_v just_a so_o well_o as_o gracious_a and_o his_o justice_n require_v satisfaction_n now_o some_o man_n among_o we_o will_v be_v pardon_v but_o not_o justify_v they_o will_v have_v life_n in_o a_o way_n of_o mercy_n but_o not_o in_o a_o way_n of_o righteousness_n they_o will_v have_v their_o debt_n pardon_v and_o forgive_v but_o they_o will_v not_o have_v their_o debt_n pay_v in_o a_o word_n they_o will_v come_v to_o heaven_n but_o not_o by_o the_o merit_n of_o christ_n blood_n though_o they_o may_v pretend_v they_o believe_v no_o come_n there_o but_o by_o his_o merit_n yet_o they_o understand_v it_o in_o a_o remote_a s●●ce_n they_o will_v i_o say_v attain_v eternal_a glory_n and_o a_o deliverance_n from_o every_o thing_n that_o be_v hurtful_a to_o they_o but_o this_o they_o will_v not_o have_v to_o run_v in_o the_o channel_n of_o christ_n obedience_n and_o righteousness_n but_o in_o the_o channel_n of_o their_o own_o obedience_n but_o 2._o consider_v that_o as_o god_n be_v just_o so_o well_o as_o gracious_a therefore_o our_o debt_n must_v must_v be_v pay_v so_o well_o as_o pardon_v or_o we_o can_v be_v justify_v and_o consider_v christ_n be_v

become_v surety_n to_o pay_v our_o debt_n as_o we_o be_v debtor_n but_o he_o become_v our_o surety_n as_o we_o be_v criminal_n and_o traitor_n also_o and_o so_o be_v bind_v body_n for_o body_n soul_n for_o soul_n life_n for_o life_n in_o the_o behalf_n of_o the_o sinner_n 4._o if_o the_o party_n which_o the_o surety_n engage_v for_o fail_v the_o surety_n be_v then_o to_o make_v a_o full_a

import_v the_o obligation_n to_o be_v voluntary_a for_o the_o law_n compel_v none_o to_o be_v bind_v for_o another_o unless_o they_o be_v willing_a the_o law_n will_v only_o force_v the_o man_n that_o be_v concern_v if_o any_o man_n engage_v for_o he_o it_o be_v not_o because_o the_o law_n compel_v he_o but_o he_o do_v it_o of_o his_o own_o will_n so_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n do_v for_o

one_o from_o the_o other_o i.e._n the_o active_a obedience_n of_o christ_n and_o his_o passive_a obedience_n now_o i_o say_v it_o be_v not_o safe_a for_o any_o to_o say_v we_o be_v justify_v by_o the_o passive_a obedience_n of_o christ_n only_o i._n e._n by_o his_o death_n and_o suffering_n alone_o i_o say_v it_o be_v very_o dangerous_a for_o any_o to_o believe_v thus_o for_o thus_o i_o argue_v argument_n that_o alone_o by_o which_o the_o law_n be_v fulfil_v and_o god_n justice_n satisfy_v by_o that_o alone_o we_o be_v justify_v but_o by_o the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n that_o be_v to_o say_v the_o righteousness_n of_o his_o life_n which_o be_v his_o active_a obedience_n and_o by_o the_o righteousness_n of_o his_o death_n which_o be_v his_o passive_a obedience_n the_o law_n be_v fulfil_v and_o god_n justice_n full_o satisfy_v therefore_o by_o the_o whole_a righteousness_n of_o christ_n namely_o his_o holy_a life_n and_o meritorious_a death_n we_o be_v justify_v not_o by_o his_o death_n exclude_v his_o holy_a life_n but_o his_o holy_a life_n and_o bitter_a death_n justify_v we_o and_o be_v the_o meritorious_a cause_n of_o our_o justification_n and_o my_o belove_a consider_v 1._o that_o the_o first_o part_n be_v prove_v thus_o there_o be_v no_o justification_n before_o god_n without_o a_o perfect_a and_o complete_a righteousness_n as_o that_o which_o be_v agreeable_a to_o god_n holy_a nature_n and_o which_o be_v agreeable_a to_o his_o holy_a law_n and_o this_o i_o have_v already_o prove_v that_o a_o man_n must_v be_v perfect_o just_a or_o declare_v so_o upon_o just_a ground_n or_o he_o can_v be_v justify_v 2._o consider_v that_o there_o be_v no_o perfect_a righteousness_n but_o that_o which_o exact_o and_o full_o fulfil_v the_o law_n that_o be_v accept_v of_o god_n and_o this_o be_v do_v i_o mean_v the_o law_n fulfil_v two_o way_n 1._o by_o a_o perfect_a and_o perpetual_a conformity_n to_o the_o law_n not_o only_o a_o perfect_a conformity_n

to_o the_o sentence_n of_o the_o law_n i._n e._n to_o bear_v and_o undergo_v the_o penalty_n and_o punishment_n thereof_o which_o be_v death_n and_o the_o curse_n and_o wrath_n of_o god_n this_o be_v our_o due_n and_o this_o christ_n do_v in_o our_o stead_n as_o our_o surety_n he_o do_v perfect_o and_o perpetual_o keep_v the_o law_n while_o he_o be_v on_o earth_n in_o our_o nature_n for_o we_o and_o he_o do_v full_o satisfy_v and_o make_v compensation_n to_o the_o sentence_n of_o the_o law_n he_o do_v undergo_v the_o penalty_n and_o punishment_n therein_o denounce_v which_o be_v our_o due_n 3._o and_o that_o it_o must_v be_v thus_o evident_a because_o the_o doctrine_n of_o justification_n do_v not_o make_v void_a the_o law_n but_o establish_v it_o see_v rom._n 3._o ult_n faith_n or_o

type_n promise_v and_o prophecy_n complete_o fulfil_v it_o to_o justify_v we_o thereby_o as_o our_o surety_n therefore_o 4._o consider_v that_o by_o the_o passive_a righteousness_n or_o meritorious_a

his_o righteousness_n both_o habitual_a and_o actual_a he_o entitle_v we_o to_o heaven_n neither_o of_o which_o we_o be_v capable_a to_o perform_v therefore_o his_o passive_a obedience_n alone_o do_v
