imagine_v this_o to_o be_v the_o racovian_a catechism_n still_o 2._o because_o those_o who_o be_v to_o be_v save_v by_o he_o be_v subject_a to_o the_o like_a suffering_n this_o be_v somewhat_o a_o dark_a reason_n but_o the_o former_a be_v that_o which_o we_o be_v to_o consider_v christ_n say_v they_o suffer_v for_o the_o sin_n of_o mankind_n and_o be_v a_o sacrifice_n of_o expiation_n by_o his_o death_n what_o can_v we_o desire_v more_o shall_v we_o always_o maintain_v dispute_n about_o word_n when_o we_o agree_v in_o sense_n no_o that_o be_v not_o the_o case_n but_o we_o may_v seem_v to_o agree_v in_o word_n and_o differ_v in_o sense_n that_o therefore_o must_v be_v more_o strict_o examine_v but_o because_o they_o sometime_o seem_v to_o be_v displease_v that_o we_o take_v their_o opinion_n from_o foreign_a writer_n 32._o since_o they_o here_o set_v up_o for_o themselves_o and_o be_v so_o able_a to_o express_v their_o own_o sense_n and_o because_o they_o refer_v i_o to_o their_o own_o late_a print_n in_o the_o english_a tongue_n therefore_o i_o shall_v apply_v myself_o to_o they_o to_o find_v out_o what_o their_o true_a sense_n in_o this_o matter_n be_v and_o they_o seem_v free_o to_o tell_v we_o what_o they_o deny_v and_o what_o they_o affirm_v 12._o 1._o they_o deny_v that_o this_o sacrifice_n be_v by_o way_n of_o true_a and_o proper_a satisfaction_n or_o full_a and_o adequate_a payment_n to_o the_o justice_n of_o god_n 2._o they_o affirm_v that_o this_o sacrifice_n be_v only_o a_o oblation_n or_o application_n to_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n in_o another_o place_n they_o complain_v 58._o that_o very_o few_o of_o their_o adversary_n have_v real_o understand_v what_o they_o affirm_v or_o deny_v concern_v the_o cause_n or_o effect_n of_o our_o saviour_n death_n and_o they_o say_v the_o question_n be_v only_o this_o whether_o the_o lord_n christ_n offer_v himself_o as_o such_o a_o sacrifice_n oblation_n or_o price_n as_o may_v be_v make_v to_o the_o justice_n of_o god_n by_o way_n of_o equivalent_a for_o what_o we_o shall_v have_v suffer_v or_o be_v a_o oblation_n or_o satisfaction_n as_o all_o former_a sacrifice_n under_o the_o law_n be_v to_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n by_o way_n of_o humble_a suit_n and_o deprecation_n so_o that_o they_o will_v no_o long_o dispute_v with_o we_o about_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n be_v a_o expiatory_a sacrifice_n for_o the_o sin_n of_o mankind_n and_o so_o this_o point_n seem_v whole_o gain_v but_o we_o must_v have_v a_o care_n of_o be_v deceive_v by_o they_o for_o the_o scripture_n be_v too_o clear_a and_o full_a to_o be_v bear_v down_o by_o the_o authority_n or_o evasion_n of_o socinus_n and_o therefore_o they_o find_v it_o necessary_a to_o comply_v in_o term_n as_o long_o as_o they_o can_v keep_v to_o their_o own_o notion_n under_o they_o but_o what_o be_v the_o true_a mean_v of_o a_o expiatory_a sacrifice_n to_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n if_o it_o be_v no_o more_o but_o as_o a_o condition_n intervening_a socinus_n will_v not_o allow_v that_o to_o make_v a_o expiatory_a sacrifice_n and_o therein_o he_o be_v in_o the_o right_n the_o main_a point_n then_o between_o we_o seem_v to_o be_v whether_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n have_v respect_n to_o the_o justice_n or_o to_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n 53._o and_o here_o we_o must_v consider_v what_o they_o understand_v by_o the_o justice_n of_o god_n 1._o they_o say_v that_o almighty_a god_n as_o king_n and_o proprietor_n of_o all_o person_n and_o thing_n can_v forgive_v any_o offence_n or_o all_o offence_n even_o without_o repentance_n or_o amendment_n nor_o be_v it_o contrary_a to_o his_o justice_n so_o to_o do_v 2._o that_o it_o be_v not_o the_o justice_n of_o god_n by_o which_o he_o be_v prompt_v to_o punish_v sinner_n but_o his_o holiness_n and_o wisdom_n and_o that_o justice_n have_v no_o other_o share_n or_o interest_n in_o punishment_n but_o only_o to_o see_v that_o punishment_n be_v not_o misplace_v and_o that_o it_o do_v not_o exceed_v the_o offence_n 3._o that_o god_n can_v not_o just_o or_o wise_o substitute_v a_o innocent_a and_o well_o deserve_a person_n to_o undergo_v punishment_n 54._o proper_o so_o call_v in_o the_o place_n of_o the_o unrighteous_a and_o worthless_a because_o it_o be_v of_o the_o nature_n of_o justice_n not_o to_o misplace_v punishment_n 4._o that_o christ_n can_v not_o offer_v himself_o free_o for_o we_o to_o undergo_v the_o punishment_n due_a to_o we_o nor_o can_v god_n accept_v of_o it_o or_o allow_v it_o because_o it_o be_v of_o the_o very_a essence_n of_o justice_n not_o to_o misplace_v punishment_n and_o not_o to_o exceed_v the_o desert_n of_o the_o offence_n 55._o which_o they_o say_v be_v the_o two_o thing_n that_o constitute_v the_o nature_n of_o punitive_a justice_n 18._o in_o another_o place_n they_o say_v that_o christ_n make_v himself_o a_o oblation_n a_o expiatory_a sacrifice_n on_o the_o altar_n of_o the_o cross_n for_o our_o sin_n but_o his_o suffering_n be_v not_o as_o trinitarian_n teach_v design_v as_o a_o punishment_n lay_v on_o he_o in_o our_o stead_n because_o punishment_n be_v the_o evil_a of_o suffer_v inflict_v for_o the_o evil_a of_o do_v but_o christ_n have_v do_v no_o sin_n what_o he_o undergo_v be_v only_a labour_n and_o suffering_n and_o no_o punishment_n and_o again_o they_o say_v the_o oblation_n be_v not_o make_v to_o the_o justice_n but_o to_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n but_o the_o suffering_n of_o christ_n be_v gracious_o accept_v by_o god_n 19_o as_o a_o intercession_n on_o our_o behalf_n god_n be_v satisfy_v with_o they_o and_o this_o they_o say_v be_v the_o proper_a notion_n of_o satisfaction_n 32._o the_o same_o they_o repeat_v in_o other_o place_n and_o if_o no_o more_o be_v to_o be_v regard_v but_o mere_a word_n this_o controversy_n be_v at_o a_o end_n for_o they_o own_o christ_n death_n to_o be_v a_o expiatory_a sacrifice_n for_o the_o sin_n of_o mankind_n and_o that_o he_o make_v by_o his_o suffering_n satisfaction_n to_o god_n but_o i_o shall_v now_o make_v it_o appear_v that_o whatever_o they_o pretend_v they_o do_v real_o own_v no_o such_o thing_n as_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n be_v a_o expiatory_a sacrifice_n for_o the_o sin_n of_o mankind_n however_o we_o have_v this_o advantage_n by_o these_o concession_n that_o the_o scripture_n be_v yield_v to_o be_v on_o our_o side_n and_o that_o they_o be_v force_v to_o speak_v as_o we_o do_v whatsoever_o their_o meaning_n be_v but_o that_o they_o do_v not_o own_o any_o proper_a expiatory_a sacrifice_n in_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n will_v best_o appear_v by_o a_o account_n of_o the_o rise_n and_o progress_n of_o this_o controversy_n and_o of_o the_o true_a state_n of_o it_o the_o first_o rise_v of_o it_o be_v from_o the_o multitude_n of_o place_n of_o scripture_n which_o attribute_v all_o the_o proper_a effect_n of_o a_o expiatory_a sacrifice_n to_o the_o death_n of_o christ._n and_o that_o by_o those_o who_o best_o understand_v for_o what_o end_v it_o be_v that_o christ_n suffer_v and_o have_v no_o intention_n to_o deceive_v or_o to_o amuse_v mankind_n i_o mean_v our_o saviour_n and_o his_o apostle_n our_o bless_a saviour_n himself_o say_v that_o the_o son_n of_o man_n come_v to_o give_v his_o life_n a_o ransom_n for_o many_o 10.45_o a_o ransom_n as_o to_o what_o sure_o not_o as_o to_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n but_o christ_n death_n be_v a_o ransom_n as_o it_o be_v a_o expiatory_a sacrifice_n and_o if_o the_o one_o respect_n the_o mercy_n of_o god_n the_o other_o must_v do_v so_o too_o they_o may_v say_v the_o ransom_n be_v from_o the_o punishment_n of_o sin_n but_o this_o ransom_n may_v be_v make_v as_o to_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n which_o deliver_v from_o it_o but_o a_o ransom_n be_v something_o which_o be_v pay_v or_o lay_v down_o as_o a_o price_n of_o redemption_n and_o be_v very_o well_o understand_v in_o that_o sense_n among_o the_o jew_n who_o all_o know_v that_o by_o their_o law_n the_o blood_n of_o the_o sacrifice_n be_v appoint_v to_o be_v a_o ransom_n for_o their_o soul_n 17.11_o for_o it_o be_v the_o blood_n that_o make_v a_o atonement_n for_o the_o soul_n to_o which_o the_o apostle_n refer_v 9.22_o when_o he_o say_v that_o without_o shed_v of_o blood_n there_o be_v no_o remission_n so_o that_o hereby_o the_o jew_n understand_v these_o

righteous_a person_n who_o be_v not_o antecedent_o suppose_v to_o be_v so_o by_o his_o own_o argument_n christ_n be_v deal_v with_o as_o a_o sinner_n must_v suppose_v guilt_n antecedent_n to_o it_o and_o since_o the_o apostle_n declare_v it_o be_v not_o his_o own_o in_o those_o word_n who_o know_v no_o sin_n it_o follow_v that_o it_o must_v be_v the_o consideration_n of_o we_o which_o must_v

supposition_n of_o his_o own_o or_o other_o guilt_n but_o we_o be_v to_o consider_v that_o the_o suffering_n of_o christ_n seem_v at_o first_o so_o inconsistent_a with_o that_o relation_n to_o god_n as_o his_o only_a son_n which_o the_o apostle_n assert_v concern_v he_o they_o be_v oblige_v to_o vindicate_v his_o innocency_n as_o to_o man_n and_o yet_o withal_o to_o show_v that_o with_o a_o

and_o perfect_v in_o heaven_n this_o do_v evident_o prove_v that_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n be_v shed_v for_o the_o expiation_n of_o sin_n and_o that_o as_o the_o highpriest_n go_v into_o the_o

if_o there_o be_v no_o relaxation_n of_o the_o severity_n of_o it_o 2._o that_o it_o be_v very_o agreeable_a to_o the_o divine_a justice_n to_o exercise_v the_o severity_n of_o punitive_a justice_n on_o obstinate_a and_o incorrigible_a offender_n and_o this_o be_v that_o whereon_o the_o justice_n of_o the_o punishment_n of_o sinner_n in_o another_o world_n be_v found_v because_o god_n have_v

he_o up_o to_o death_n and_o give_v his_o body_n to_o the_o cross_n and_o although_o christ_n by_o the_o ordinary_a force_n of_o the_o law_n of_o moses_n have_v a_o right_a to_o escape_v so_o painful_a and_o accurse_a a_o death_n yet_o god_n by_o the_o right_n of_o dominion_n have_v the_o power_n of_o disposal_n of_o he_o because_o he_o intend_v to_o compensate_a his_o torment_n with_o a_o

the_o suffering_n of_o christ_n a_o act_n of_o mere_a dominion_n in_o god_n without_o any_o antecedent_n cause_n as_o the_o reason_n of_o they_o only_o he_o qualify_v this_o act_n of_o dominion_n with_o the_o proposal_n of_o a_o reward_n for_o it_o but_o we_o must_v yet_o further_o inquire_v into_o their_o meaning_n for_o though_o here_o crellius_n attribute_n the_o suffering_n of_o christ_n

7._o and_o that_o the_o sin_n of_o man_n be_v the_o impulsive_a cause_n of_o they_o and_o although_o socinus_n in_o one_o place_n utter_o deny_v any_o lawful_a antecedent_n cause_n of_o the_o death_n

of_o that_o sacrifice_n which_o be_v shed_v in_o order_n to_o expiation_n if_o we_o can_v have_v suppose_v that_o the_o highpriest_n under_o the_o law_n instead_o of_o offer_v a_o goat_n for_o a_o sin-offering_a for_o the_o people_n on_o the_o day_n of_o atonement_n shall_v have_v make_v a_o oblation_n of_o himself_o to_o god_n by_o die_v for_o the_o expiation_n of_o their_o sin_n in_o this_o

be_v no_o reason_n why_o the_o oblation_n must_v be_v of_o necessity_n something_o consequent_a to_o his_o death_n since_o all_o thing_n necessary_a
to_o a_o perfect_a oblation_n do_v concur_v in_o it_o for_o where_o there_o be_v something_o solemn_o devote_v to_o god_n and_o in_o order_n to_o the_o expiation_n of_o sin_n and_o by_o the_o hand_n of_o a_o priest_n there_o be_v all_o thing_n concur_v to_o a_o legal_a oblation_n but_o in_o this_o case_n all_o these_o thing_n do_v concur_v and_o therefore_o there_o can_v be_v no_o imaginable_a necessity_n of_o make_v the_o oblation_n of_o christ_n only_o consequent_a to_o his_o ascension_n since_o in_o his_o death_n all_o thing_n concur_v to_o a_o proper_a oblation_n in_o the_o law_n we_o grant_v that_o the_o oblation_n make_v by_o the_o priest_n be_v consequent_a to_o the_o death_n of_o the_o beast_n for_o sacrifice_n but_o the_o reason_n of_o that_o be_v because_o the_o beast_n can_v

the_o oblation_n of_o the_o blood_n be_v after_o the_o sacrifice_n be_v slay_v neither_o can_v this_o have_v be_v solve_v bare_o by_o the_o priest_n slay_v of_o the_o sacrifice_n for_o this_o be_v a_o

the_o great_a imperfection_n of_o the_o levitical_a law_n in_o which_o so_o many_o several_a thing_n be_v to_o concur_v to_o make_v up_o a_o sacrifice_n for_o sin_n viz._n the_o first_o offer_v make_v

not_o only_o of_o the_o efficacy_n of_o the_o blood_n but_o the_o concurrence_n of_o the_o priest_n for_o expiation_n he_o be_v to_o take_v the_o blood_n and_o sprinkle_v some_o of_o it_o on_o the_o

up_o himself_o to_o be_v make_v a_o sacrifice_n for_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o world_n why_o may_v not_o this_o be_v as_o proper_a a_o oblation_n make_v unto_o god_n as_o any_o be_v under_o the_o law_n and_o far_o more_o excellent_a both_o in_o regard_n of_o the_o priest_n and_o the_o sacrifice_n why_o shall_v his_o oblation_n of_o himself_o then_o be_v make_v only_o consequent_a to_o his_o death_n and_o resurrection_n which_o latter_a be_v by_o our_o adversary_n make_v not_o his_o own_o act_n but_o god_n upon_o he_o and_o his_o entrance_n into_o heaven_n be_v give_v he_o as_o they_o assert_v as_o a_o reward_n of_o his_o suffering_n in_o what_o tolerable_a sense_n can_v that_o be_v call_v a_o oblation_n of_o himself_o which_o be_v confer_v upon_o he_o as_o a_o reward_n of_o his_o former_a

between_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o christ_n and_o that_o of_o the_o sacrifice_n for_o sin_n under_o the_o levitical_a law_n 2._o we_o observe_v that_o the_o oblation_n as_o perform_v by_o the_o priest_n

the_o expiation_n of_o sin_n there_o have_v be_v some_o pretence_n for_o our_o adversary_n make_v christ_n present_v himself_n in_o heaven_n to_o be_v the_o oblation_n of_o himself_o to_o god_n but_o under_o the_o law_n the_o efficacy_n of_o the_o high_a priest_n entrance_n into_o the_o holy_a of_o holies_n do_v depend_v upon_o the_o blood_n which_o he_o carry_v in_o thither_o which_o be_v the_o

as_o it_o respect_v our_o expiation_n must_v have_v a_o respect_n to_o that_o sacrifice_n which_o be_v offer_v up_o to_o god_n antecedent_n to_o it_o and_o i_o wonder_v our_o adversary_n do_v so_o
