discourse_n and_o with_o such_o a_o variety_n of_o expression_n that_o it_o be_v not_o easy_a to_o imagine_v how_o any_o thing_n can_v be_v more_o plain_o tell_v he_o be_v call_v the_o highpriest_n that_o be_v consecrate_v to_o offer_v up_o sacrifice_n for_o the_o people_n it_o be_v say_v that_o he_o have_v enter_v into_o the_o holy_a place_n by_o his_o own_o blood_n have_v obtain_v eternal_a redemption_n for_o we_o his_o blood_n purge_v our_o conscience_n from_o dead_a wok_n to_o serve_v the_o live_a god_n he_o have_v put_v away_o sin_n by_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o himself_o and_o be_v once_o offer_v to_o bear_v the_o sin_n of_o many_o we_o be_v sanctify_v by_o the_o offering_n of_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n once_o for_o we_o all_o and_o after_o he_o have_v offer_v one_o

now_o let_v it_o be_v consider_v that_o as_o this_o argument_n be_v in_o some_o place_n close_o pursue_v in_o many_o choose_a and_o strict_a expression_n so_o it_o return_v in_o a_o great_a variety_n of_o phrase_n through_o the_o whole_a epistle_n in_o so_o many_o different_a place_n and_o on_o so_o many_o several_a occasion_n that_o nothing_o can_v appear_v plain_o in_o word_n than_o that_o the_o apostle_n cosider_v this_o as_o the_o capital_a article_n of_o their_o whole_a doctrine_n and_o the_o main_a point_n give_v they_o in_o commission_n in_o their_o preach_n to_o all_o nation_n they_o inculcate_v it_o chief_o they_o repeat_v it_o often_o and_o for_o aught_o i_o have_v be_v able_a to_o judge_v they_o have_v not_o leave_v one_o single_a phrase_n that_o belong_v to_o sacrifice_n in_o the_o old_a testament_n which_o they_o have_v not_o apply_v to_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n in_o the_o new_a it_o be_v true_a they_o mention_v his_o resurrection_n often_o as_o the_o great_a and_o eminent_a proof_n of_o christ_n be_v the_o messiah_n but_o they_o never_o apply_v that_o with_o those_o lively_a and_o inflame_a expression_n to_o man_n conscience_n that_o they_o do_v his_o death_n and_o suffering_n the_o merit_n be_v plain_o put_v there_o the_o resurrection_n be_v the_o glorious_a reward_n and_o consequence_n of_o it_o upon_o his_o death_n and_o cross_n it_o be_v that_o they_o dwell_v the_o most_o they_o set_v a_o infinite_a value_n upon_o his_o love_v we_o and_o die_v for_o we_o now_o if_o he_o have_v only_o die_v for_o our_o good_a though_o it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v deny_v but_o that_o this_o be_v a_o great_a evidence_n of_o perfect_a love_n yet_o the_o world_n be_v full_a of_o story_n of_o man_n that_o have_v die_v for_o their_o country_n so_o that_o bare_o the_o die_a for_o our_o good_a if_o it_o have_v not_o be_v likewise_o in_o our_o stead_n can_v not_o have_v bear_v such_o a_o sublime_a strain_n as_o that_o be_v in_o which_o they_o set_v this_o out_o if_o our_o saviour_n have_v only_o be_v to_o endure_v those_o bodily_a torment_n how_o violent_a soever_o it_o do_v not_o give_v any_o extraordinary_a character_n of_o he_o that_o the_o very_a night_n before_o he_o be_v so_o exceed_o amaze_v at_o the_o prospect_n of_o what_o he_o be_v enter_v upon_o that_o he_o become_v sorrowful_a even_o to_o the_o death_n 44._o and_o be_v in_o such_o a_o bodily_a

so_o that_o a_o angel_n be_v send_v from_o heaven_n to_o comfort_v he_o now_o if_o there_o be_v no_o more_o in_o his_o suffering_n than_o that_o which_o we_o see_v here_o be_v a_o depression_n far_o below_o what_o great_a hero_n have_v express_v even_o during_o the_o most_o extreme_a suffering_n and_o yet_o it_o be_v at_o a_o distance_n from_o they_o only_o upon_o the_o prospect_n of_o their_o come_n on_o all_o the_o while_n before_o our_o saviour_n know_v they_o be_v come_v and_o yet_o till_o then_o no_o agony_n be_v hear_v of_o which_o intimate_v that_o there_o be_v somewhat_o peculiar_a in_o it_o which_o some_o church_n have_v in_o their_o liturgy_n call_v very_o proper_o his_o unspeakable_a and_o unutterable_a suffering_n they_o be_v so_o indeed_o for_o we_o who_o have_v only_o a_o notion_n of_o vast_a agony_n in_o the_o mind_n when_o rack_v with_o the_o horror_n of_o guilt_n it_o can_v bear_v the_o apprehension_n of_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n and_o the_o reproach_n that_o arise_v from_o a_o wound_a conscience_n can_v apprehend_v what_o can_v have_v raise_v such_o amaze_a sorrow_n in_o so_o pure_a and_o unspotted_a a_o soul_n that_o be_v conscious_a to_o itself_o of_o no_o sin_n and_o so_o can_v fear_v nothing_o from_o a_o just_a and_o good_a god_n therefore_o we_o must_v not_o pretend_v to_o explain_v what_o we_o can_v understand_v but_o to_o return_v to_o the_o main_a argument_n when_o this_o whole_a collection_n of_o the_o way_n in_o which_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n be_v propose_v to_o the_o world_n in_o the_o new_a testament_n be_v lay_v together_o we_o must_v conclude_v that_o either_o this_o death_n be_v a_o propitiatory_a sacrifice_n or_o we_o must_v for_o ever_o despair_v of_o find_v out_o the_o meaning_n of_o any_o thing_n that_o can_v be_v express_v in_o word_n nothing_o can_v be_v plain_o say_v nor_o often_o repeat_v in_o a_o great_a variety_n of_o expression_n proper_a to_o signify_v this_o and_o not_o proper_a for_o any_o thing_n else_o i_o do_v not_o deny_v but_o those_o who_o will_v turn_v all_o this_o another_o way_n have_v find_v to_o every_o one_o of_o these_o passage_n somewhat_o that_o seem_v to_o favour_v the_o divert_v they_o to_o another_o signification_n but_o as_o it_o be_v observe_v before_o if_o some_o of_o the_o sacrificatory_a phrase_n have_v by_o some_o author_n and_o upon_o some_o occasion_n be_v bring_v down_o to_o a_o signification_n less_o important_a it_o will_v not_o from_o thence_o follow_v that_o discourse_n that_o be_v a_o contexture_n of_o those_o notion_n and_o form_n of_o speech_n shall_v be_v so_o wrest_v from_o their_o natural_a signification_n to_o a_o sense_n so_o far_o below_o the_o genuine_a and_o receive_a importance_n of_o the_o word_n and_o indeed_o i_o do_v not_o see_v what_o we_o can_v make_v of_o any_o part_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n or_o how_o much_o of_o it_o we_o can_v receive_v with_o any_o degree_n of_o esteem_n if_o we_o do_v not_o believe_v the_o death_n of_o christ_n to_o have_v be_v a_o true_o expiatory_a sacrifice_n offer_v up_o to_o god_n in_o our_o stead_n nor_o do_v this_o at_o all_o contradict_v the_o freedom_n of_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n in_o pardon_v sin_n which_o be_v so_o much_o set_v forth_o in_o scripture_n since_o there_o be_v matter_n enough_o for_o freegrace_n to_o exert_v itself_o notwithstanding_o the_o atonement_n make_v by_o sacrifice_n for_o god_n may_v have_v in_o the_o strictness_n of_o justice_n demand_v satisfaction_n from_o ourselves_o so_o his_o commute_v the_o matter_n and_o accept_v of_o it_o in_o the_o person_n of_o another_o be_v a_o very_a high_a act_n of_o his_o grace_n then_o our_o saviour_n offering_n himself_o up_o so_o free_o for_o we_o be_v a_o signal_n as_o well_o as_o a_o undeserved_a act_n of_o love_n in_o that_o he_o die_v for_o we_o while_o we_o be_v yet_o enemy_n and_o though_o this_o act_n belong_v to_o his_o human_a nature_n yet_o the_o union_n between_o it_o and_o the_o eternal_a word_n that_o dwell_v in_o he_o may_v very_o well_o entitle_v god_n to_o it_o so_o that_o in_o that_o respect_n this_o also_o may_v be_v call_v a_o act_n of_o god_n grace_n the_o offer_v this_o to_o we_o on_o such_o easy_a term_n and_o the_o exact_v only_o a_o sincere_a obedience_n as_o the_o condition_n of_o it_o without_o insist_v on_o a_o entire_a obedience_n be_v another_o part_n of_o the_o grace_n of_o it_o and_o final_o the_o propose_v such_o vast_a reward_n to_o our_o poor_a service_n and_o the_o convey_v the_o knowledge_n of_o this_o to_o some_o nation_n when_o other_o be_v leave_v in_o darkness_n and_o ignorance_n be_v very_o great_a and_o undeserved_a act_n of_o love_n and_o mercy_n so_o that_o the_o sense_n of_o our_o saviour_n die_v for_o we_o as_o our_o sacrifice_n do_v not_o at_o
there_o be_v not_o any_o one_o sort_n of_o thing_n which_o the_o whole_a world_n know_v better_a than_o all_o that_o belong_v to_o sacrifice_n at_o the_o time_n of_o write_v the_o new_a testament_n they_o certain_o be_v more_o accustom_a to_o it_o and_o understand_v it_o much_o better_a than_o we_o general_o do_v now_o in_o age_n in_o which_o those_o practice_n have_v so_o long_o cease_v that_o the_o memory_n of_o they_o be_v quite_o extinguish_v it_o be_v indeed_o very_o probable_a that_o many_o particular_a phrase_n belong_v to_o they_o may_v have_v be_v by_o a_o poetical_a liberty_n extend_v to_o other_o matter_n for_o thing_n of_o the_o sacred_a nature_n be_v by_o poet_n and_o orator_n make_v use_v of_o to_o give_v the_o lively_a illustration_n and_o raise_v the_o strong_a passion_n possible_a yet_o after_o all_o a_o entire_a thread_n of_o a_o sacrificatory_a style_n be_v a_o form_n of_o description_n that_o the_o world_n must_v have_v know_v can_v belong_v only_o to_o a_o expiatory_a sacrifice_n that_o be_v to_o some_o person_n or_o thing_n that_o be_v devote_v to_o god_n by_o a_o sinner_n in_o his_o own_o stead_n and_o upon_o the_o account_n of_o his_o sin_n and_o guilt_n be_v to_o be_v some_o way_n destroy_v in_o sign_n of_o what_o he_o own_a he_o have_v deserve_v and_o this_o be_v to_o be_v do_v in_o order_n to_o the_o reconcile_n the_o guilty_a person_n to_o

account_n forgive_v this_o be_v thus_o lay_v down_o let_v we_o look_v next_o to_o the_o whole_a strain_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n particular_o to_o those_o part_n of_o it_o in_o which_o this_o matter_n be_v more_o full_o treat_v about_o here_o i_o will_v again_o follow_v the_o method_n that_o i_o take_v upon_o the_o former_a head_n and_o not_o enter_v so_o particular_o upon_o the_o criticism_n of_o some_o passage_n but_o will_v view_v the_o thing_n in_o gross_a that_o seem_v to_o be_v both_o the_o most_o convince_a way_n in_o itself_o and_o the_o best_a suit_v to_o my_o present_a purpose_n i_o must_v further_o observe_v that_o this_o be_v a_o point_n of_o vast_a consequence_n as_o be_v that_o which_o concern_v man_n peace_n with_o god_n the_o pardon_n of_o their_o sin_n and_o their_o hope_n of_o god_n favour_n and_o of_o eternal_a happiness_n therefore_o we_o ought_v not_o to_o imagine_v that_o rhetoric_n or_o poetical_a form_n of_o speech_n can_v be_v admit_v here_o to_o the_o aggravate_v of_o so_o solemn_a a_o piece_n of_o our_o religion_n boyond_v its_o true_a value_n so_o that_o we_o must_v conclude_v that_o here_o if_o in_o any_o thing_n the_o apostle_n write_v strict_o beside_o that_o their_o manner_n of_o writing_n be_v always_o plain_a and_o simple_a when_o then_o they_o set_v forth_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n with_o all_o the_o pomp_n of_o the_o sacrificatory_a phrase_n we_o must_v either_o believe_v it_o to_o be_v a_o true_a propitiatory_a sacrifice_n or_o otherwise_o we_o must_v look_v upon_o they_o as_o warm_v indiscreet_a man_n who_o affection_n to_o our_o saviour_n heat_v they_o so_o far_o as_o to_o carry_v they_o in_o this_o matter_n out_o of_o all_o measure_n far_o beyond_o the_o truth_n those_o who_o oppose_v this_o article_n believe_v that_o christ_n only_o die_v for_o our_o good_a but_o not_o in_o our_o stead_n that_o by_o his_o death_n he_o may_v full_o confirm_v his_o gospel_n and_o give_v it_o a_o great_a authority_n that_o so_o it_o may_v have_v the_o more_o influence_n upon_o we_o they_o also_o believe_v that_o by_o his_o die_a he_o intend_v to_o set_v we_o a_o most_o perfect_a pattern_n of_o bear_v the_o sharp_a suffering_n with_o the_o perfect_a patience_n and_o submission_n to_o the_o will_n of_o god_n and_o the_o most_o entire_a charity_n to_o those_o at_o who_o hand_n we_o suffer_v and_o that_o by_o do_v this_o he_o be_v to_o merit_v at_o god_n hand_n that_o supreme_a authority_n with_o which_o he_o be_v now_o vest_v for_o our_o good_a that_o so_o he_o may_v obtain_v a_o power_n to_o offer_v the_o world_n the_o pardon_n of_o sin_n upon_o their_o true_a repentance_n and_o final_o that_o he_o die_v in_o order_n to_o his_o resurrection_n and_o forgive_a a_o sensible_a proof_n of_o that_o main_a article_n of_o his_o religion_n that_o we_o shall_v all_o be_v raise_v up_o at_o the_o last_o day_n therefore_o he_o be_v to_o die_v and_o that_o in_o such_o a_o manner_n that_o no_o man_n may_v question_v the_o truth_n of_o it_o that_o so_o his_o resurrection_n may_v give_v a_o most_o demonstrative_a proof_n both_o of_o the_o possibility_n of_o it_o and_o of_o our_o be_v to_o be_v raise_v up_o by_o he_o who_o be_v thus_o declare_v to_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n by_o his_o rise_n from_o the_o dead_a on_o the_o other_o hand_n we_o believe_v that_o god_n intend_v to_o pardon_v sin_n and_o to_o call_v the_o world_n by_o the_o offer_v of_o it_o to_o repentance_n design_v to_o do_v it_o in_o such_o a_o manner_n as_o shall_v both_o give_v we_o the_o high_a idea_n of_o

of_o be_v free_a and_o not_o free_a so_o in_o the_o divine_a essence_n which_o be_v the_o simple_a and_o perfect_a unity_n there_o may_v be_v three_o that_o may_v have_v a_o diversity_n of_o

many_o subtlety_n in_o which_o the_o scripture_n be_v absolute_o silent_a they_o begin_v with_o a_o position_n that_o be_v the_o foundation_n of_o all_o their_o calculation_n that_o god_n can_v free_o forgive_v sin_n that_o purish_v as_o well_o as_o remunerative_a justice_n be_v essential_a to_o he_o that_o god_n be_v infinite_a every_o offence_n against_o he_o have_v a_o infinite_a gild_n and_o must_v be_v expiate_v either_o by_o act_n of_o infinite_a value_n or_o of_o infinite_a duration_n and_o that_o a_o person_n of_o a_o infinite_a nature_n be_v only_o capable_a of_o act_n of_o a_o infinite_a value_n that_o such_o a_o one_o be_v necessary_a for_o expiate_a sin_n but_o in_o all_o this_o gradation_n there_o be_v one_o main_a defect_n that_o the_o scripture_n set_v none_o of_o these_o speculation_n before_o we_o nor_o be_v it_o easy_a to_o apprehend_v that_o a_o right_n of_o punish_v which_o be_v in_o the_o legislator_n and_o a_o right_a to_o a_o reward_n which_o pass_v from_o he_o to_o the_o person_n that_o acquire_v it_o shall_v be_v equal_o essential_a to_o god_n in_o the_o one_o his_o fidelity_n and_o justice_n be_v bind_v because_o of_o the_o right_n that_o

every_o sin_n as_o be_v of_o infinite_a gild_n must_v be_v expiate_v by_o a_o infinite_a act_n it_o will_v not_o be_v easy_a to_o make_v this_o out_o how_o the_o act_n of_o christ_n though_o

a_o subtle_a contexture_n of_o legal_a metaphysic_n of_o which_o the_o scripture_n be_v silent_a it_o best_o become_v we_o to_o take_v our_o notion_n from_o the_o scripture_n themselves_o it_o be_v

the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n and_o by_o the_o tenor_n of_o the_o whole_a discourse_n it_o be_v plain_a that_o by_o the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n 12._o be_v mean_v the_o moysaicall_a precept_n and_o

he_o reckon_v abraham_n readiness_n to_o offer_v up_o his_o son_n isaac_n as_o a_o act_n of_o his_o faith_n so_o that_o faith_n stand_v for_o the_o complex_fw-la of_o all_o the_o duty_n of_o
