body_n may_v be_v say_v to_o have_v do_v it_o and_o whatsoever_o the_o body_n suffer_v god_n may_v be_v say_v to_o have_v suffer_v by_o reason_n of_o this_o conjunction_n the_o angel_n sure_o be_v

nothing_o sure_o be_v more_o agreeable_a unto_o justice_n than_o that_o death_n shall_v be_v reward_v with_o death_n spiritual_a with_o corporal_a and_o voluntary_a with_o necessary_a whenas_o man_n therefore_o have_v deserve_v according_a to_o either_o nature_n to_o suffer_v this_o double_a death_n the_o one_o spiritual_a and_o voluntary_a the_o other_o corporal_a and_o necessary_a from_o either_o of_o they_o the_o man-god_n christ_n jesus_n most_o mighty_o have_v deliver_v we_o by_o his_o own_o corporal_a and_o voluntary_a death_n and_o in_o that_o one_o of_o he_o have_v satisfy_v for_o both_o of_o we_o if_o he_o have_v not_o die_v corporal_o he_o have_v not_o pay_v our_o debt_n and_o if_o he_o have_v not_o die_v voluntary_o his_o death_n have_v not_o be_v meritorious_a but_o now_o if_o as_o it_o be_v say_v the_o merit_n of_o death_n be_v sin_n and_o the_o woge_n of_o sin_n be_v death_n christ_n remit_v and_o forgive_a our_o sin_n and_o die_v for_o sinner_n the_o merit_n be_v abolish_v &_o the_o debt_n be_v discharge_v but_o how_o shall_v we_o know_v that_o christ_n can_v forgive_v we_o our_o sin_n even_o by_o this_o in_o that_o he_o be_v god_n but_o how_o shall_v we_o know_v that_o he_o be_v god_n his_o miracle_n do_v prove_v it_o for_o he_o do_v the_o work_n which_o no_o no_o man_n else_o can_v do_v yea_o god_n himself_o from_o heaven_n have_v confirm_v the_o same_o therefore_o if_o christ_n be_v for_o we_o who_o be_v against_o we_o if_o jesus_n justify_v we_o who_o shall_v condemn_v we_o it_o be_v he_o and_o no_o other_o to_o who_o we_o confess_v our_o

he_o or_o how_o can_v he_o not_o do_v this_o which_o can_v do_v all_o thing_n in_o a_o word_n if_o i_o can_v pardon_v that_o which_o be_v commit_v against_o i_o if_o i_o will_v shall_v not_o god_n our_o christ_n be_v able_a to_o forgive_v that_o which_o be_v commit_v against_o he_o if_o he_o will_v if_o therefore_o he_o can_v forgive_v and_o pardon_v our_o sin_n both_o because_o he_o be_v omnipotent_a and_o only_o can_v because_o they_o be_v only_o do_v against_o he_o sure_o bless_v be_v the_o man_n to_o who_o this_o lord_n christ_n will_v not_o impute_v sin_n therefore_o we_o know_v that_o christ_n by_o the_o power_n of_o his_o divinity_n be_v able_a to_o forgive_v sin_n now_o of_o his_o will_n who_o need_n to_o doubt_v for_o he_o that_o debase_v himself_o so_o much_o as_o to_o take_v our_o flesh_n upon_o he_o and_o to_o suffer_v death_n for_o we_o shall_v we_o think_v that_o he_o will_v not_o impart_v unto_o we_o his_o righteousness_n sure_o yes_o so_o that_o as_o it_o be_v evident_a by_o the_o consideration_n of_o his_o deity_n that_o he_o be_v able_a to_o forgive_v our_o sin_n so_o it_o be_v manifest_a by_o the_o consideration_n of_o his_o humanity_n that_o he_o be_v willing_a so_o to_o do_v but_o what_o other_o argument_n have_v we_o that_o he_o have_v vanquish_v death_n marry_o this_o because_o he_o suffer_v it_o which_o do_v not_o deserve_v it_o and_o therefore_o with_o what_o reason_n can_v that_o be_v require_v of_o we_o which_o a_o other_o have_v already_o pay_v for_o we_o he_o that_o take_v away_o the_o merit_n of_o sin_n by_o give_v his_o righteousness_n unto_o we_o he_o have_v pay_v the_o debt_n of_o death_n and_o restore_v life_n unto_o we_o for_o so_o death_n be_v vanquish_v life_n be_v restore_v as_o sin_n be_v take_v away_o righteousness_n be_v return_v but_o how_o can_v he_o die_v which_o be_v god_n even_o in_o this_o respect_n that_o he_o be_v man_n but_o how_o can_v the_o death_n of_o one_o man_n satisfy_v for_o a_o other_o because_o he_o be_v just_a and_o innocent_a that_o die_v as_o he_o be_v a_o man_n he_o may_v die_v but_o be_v guiltless_a it_o be_v not_o necessary_a indeed_o a_o sinner_n be_v not_o able_a to_o satisfy_v the_o debt_n of_o death_n for_o a_o other_o sinner_n for_o every_o one_o die_v for_o his_o own_o sin_n but_o he_o that_o have_v no_o cause_n to_o die_v for_o his_o own_o shall_v we_o not_o think_v his_o death_n may_v be_v a_o ransom_n for_o a_o other_o sure_o by_o how_o much_o the_o more_o unjust_o he_o die_v which_o have_v not_o deserve_v death_n by_o so_o much_o the_o more_o just_o he_o live_v for_o who_o he_o so_o die_v but_o what_o equity_n be_v it_o say_v thou_o that_o a_o innocent_a person_n shall_v die_v for_o the_o guilty_a i_o tell_v thou_o it_o be_v not_o justice_n but_o mercy_n if_o it_o shall_v have_v be_v justice_n than_o he_o have_v not_o die_v voluntary_o but_o of_o duty_n if_o of_o duty_n than_o he_o himself_o shall_v die_v indeed_o yet_o he_o for_o who_o he_o so_o die_v shall_v not_o live_v but_o nevertheless_o if_o it_o be_v not_o justice_n yet_o it_o be_v not_o against_o justice_n otherwise_o god_n can_v not_o have_v be_v just_a and_o merciful_a at_o once_o but_o although_o one_o just_a man_n may_v satisfy_v for_o one_o sinner_n yet_o how_o be_v it_o that_o one_o may_v satisfy_v for_o many_o for_o it_o may_v seem_v enough_o if_o one_o die_v for_o one_o do_v restore_v life_n unto_o one_o to_o this_o the_o apostle_n shall_v answer_v as_o by_o the_o offence_n of_o one_o the_o fault_n come_v on_o all_o man_n to_o the_o condemnation_n of_o death_n so_o by_o the_o righteousness_n of_o one_o the_o benefit_n abound_v towards_o all_o man_n to_o the_o justification_n of_o life_n for_o as_o by_o one_o man_n disobedience_n many_o be_v make_v sinner_n so_o by_o the_o obedience_n of_o one_o many_o be_v become_v righteous_a but_o perhaps_o one_o man_n may_v restore_v righteousness_n unto_o many_o but_o life_n not_o so_o by_o one_o man_n say_v he_o death_n enter_v into_o the_o world_n and_o so_o by_o one_o be_v life_n regayn_v for_o as_o by_o adam_n all_o die_n so_o by_o christ_n shall_v all_o be_v make_v alive_a for_o what_o shall_v one_o man_n sin_n and_o all_o become_v guilty_a and_o shall_v the_o righteousness_n of_o one_o redound_v but_o to_o one_o only_o be_v god_n justice_n such_o as_o to_o condemn_v all_o for_o one_o and_o can_v his_o mercy_n be_v as_o great_a as_o to_o save_v all_o by_o one_o or_o can_v adam_n do_v more_o in_o evil_n than_o christ_n in_o good_a shall_v adam_n sin_n be_v impute_v
