to_o justification_n as_o §_o 2._o first_o we_o can_v believe_v that_o christ_n be_v the_o cause_n but_o the_o effect_n of_o god_n love_n according_a to_o the_o testimony_n of_o the_o belove_a

perish_v but_o have_v everlasting_a life_n second_o we_o can_v say_v god_n can_v not_o have_v take_v another_o way_n to_o have_v save_v sinner_n than_o by_o the_o death_n and_o suffering_n of_o his_o son_n to_o satisfy_v his_o justice_n or_o that_o christ_n death_n and_o suffering_n be_v a_o strict_a and_o rigid_a satisfaction_n for_o that_o eternal_a death_n and_o misery_n due_a to_o a_o man_n for_o sin_n and_o transgression_n for_o such_o a_o notion_n be_v to_o make_v god_n mercy_n little_o concern_v in_o man_n salvation_n and_o indeed_o we_o be_v at_o too_o great_a a_o distance_n from_o his_o infinite_a wisdom_n and_o power_n to_o judge_v of_o the_o liberty_n and_o necessity_n of_o his_o act_n three_o we_o can_v say_v jesus_n christ_n be_v the_o great_a sinner_n in_o the_o world_n because_o he_o bear_v our_o sin_n on_o his_o cross_n or_o because_o he_o be_v make_v sin_n for_o we_o who_o know_v no_o sin_n a_o expression_n of_o great_a levity_n and_o unsoundness_n yet_o often_o say_v by_o great_a preacher_n and_o professor_n of_o religion_n four_o we_o can_v believe_v that_o christ_n death_n and_o suffering_n so_o satisfy_v god_n or_o justify_v man_n as_o that_o they_o be_v thereby_o accept_v of_o god_n they_o be_v indeed_o thereby_o put_v into_o a_o state_n capable_a of_o be_v accept_v of_o god_n and_o through_o the_o obedience_n of_o faith_n and_o sanctification_n of_o the_o spirit_n be_v in_o a_o state_n of_o acceptance_n for_o we_o can_v never_o think_v a_o man_n justify_v before_o god_n while_o self-condemned_n or_o that_o any_o man_n can_v be_v in_o christ_n who_o be_v not_o a_o new_a creature_n or_o that_o god_n look_v upon_o man_n otherwise_o then_o they_o be_v we_o think_v it_o a_o state_n of_o presumption_n and_o not_o of_o salvation_n to_o call_v jesus_n lord_n and_o not_o by_o the_o work_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n master_n and_o he_o not_o yet_o master_n of_o our_o affection_n saviour_n and_o they_o not_o save_v by_o he_o from_o their_o

which_o be_v to_o deceive_v themselves_o for_o god_n will_v not_o be_v mock_v such_o as_o man_n sow_v such_o must_v they_o reap_v and_o though_o christ_n do_v die_v for_o we_o yet_o we_o must_v by_o the_o assistance_n of_o his_o grace_n work_v out_o our_o salvation_n with_o fear_n and_o tremble_a as_o he_o die_v for_o sin_n so_o we_o must_v die_v to_o sin_n or_o we_o can_v be_v say_v to_o be_v save_v by_o the_o death_n and_o suffering_n of_o christ_n or_o thorough_o justify_v and_o accept_v with_o god_n thus_o far_o negative_o now_o positive_o what_o we_o own_v as_o to_o justification_n §_o 3._o we_o do_v believe_v that_o jesus_n christ_n be_v our_o holy_a sacrifice_n and_o atonement_n and_o prepiriation_n that_o he_o bear_v our_o iniquity_n and_o that_o by_o his_o stripe_n we_o be_v heal_v of_o the_o wound_v adam_n give_v we_o in_o his_o fall_n and_o that_o god_n be_v just_a in_o forgive_a true_a penitent_n upon_o the_o credit_n of_o that_o holy_a offer_n christ_n make_v of_o himself_o to_o god_n for_o we_o and_o that_o what_o he_o do_v and_o suffer_v satisfy_v and_o please_v god_n and_o be_v for_o the_o sake_n of_o fall_a man_n that_o have_v displease_v god_n and_o that_o

though_o they_o profess_v to_o be_v save_v by_o his_o death_n and_o suffering_n much_o more_o may_v be_v say_v as_o to_o this_o matter_n but_o i_o must_v be_v brief_a §_o 6._o to_o conclude_v this_o chapter_n we_o wonder_v not_o that_o we_o shall_v be_v mistake_v misconstrued_n and_o misrepresent_v in_o what_o we_o believe_v and_o do_v to_o salvation_n since_o our_o better_n have_v be_v so_o
