so_o plain_o that_o the_o force_n of_o they_o be_v not_o to_o be_v avoid_v without_o the_o most_o shameful_a wrest_n and_o pervert_v of_o they_o this_o be_v 12._o my_o commandment_n say_v our_o

sinner_n 8_o in_o due_a time_n christ_n die_v for_o the_o ungodly_a now_o the_o question_n be_v whether_o by_o this_o expression_n of_o christ_n die_v for_o the_o ungodly_a be_v mean_v only_o his_o die_n for_o the_o benefit_n and_o advantage_n of_o sinner_n but_o not_o his_o die_v in_o their_o stead_n this_o let_v the_o word_n which_o immediate_o follow_v determine_v for_o scarce_o for_o a_o righteous_a man_n will_v one_o die_v yet_o peradventure_o for_o a_o good_a man_n one_o will_v even_o dare_v to_o die_v but_o god_n commend_v his_o love_n to_o we_o in_o that_o whilst_o we_o be_v yet_o sinner_n christ_n die_v for_o we_o and_o now_o i_o appeal_v to_o any_o man_n of_o good_a sense_n whether_o it_o be_v not_o plain_a that_o the_o apostle_n here_o speak_v of_o christ_n die_v for_o sinner_n in_o the_o same_o sense_n as_o one_o man_n be_v say_v to_o die_v for_o another_o that_o be_v to_o save_v another_o from_o death_n which_o what_o be_v it_o else_o but_o to_o die_v in_o his_o stead_n he_o that_o can_v deny_v this_o be_v perverse_a to_o the_o high_a degree_n and_o i_o fear_v almost_o beyond_o the_o possibility_n of_o be_v convince_v and_o the_o argument_n from_o these_o two_o text_n be_v so_o much_o the_o strong_a because_o we_o do_v not_o here_o reason_n mere_o from_o the_o phrase_n and_o expression_n but_o from_o the_o main_a scope_n of_o our_o saviour_n discourse_n in_o the_o one_o and_o of_o st._n paul_n in_o the_o other_o for_o the_o design_n of_o both_o be_v to_o recommend_v the_o superlative_a love_n of_o christ_n to_o we_o above_o the_o great_a love_n that_o ever_o any_o man_n express_v to_o another_o the_o high_a pitch_n that_o human_a affection_n do_v ever_o rise_v to_o be_v for_o a_o man_n to_o lay_v down_o his_o life_n for_o his_o friend_n but_o the_o son_n of_o god_n lay_v down_o his_o life_n for_o his_o enemy_n scarce_o say_v st._n paul_n will_v one_o lay_v down_o his_o life_n for_o a_o righteous_a man_n that_o be_v for_o one_o who_o be_v but_o strict_o just_a and_o honest_a and_o do_v no_o body_n wrong_v but_o for_o a_o good_a man_n that_o be_v for-one_a that_o be_v kind_a and_o beneficial_a to_o all_o and_o have_v oblige_v mankind_n by_o great_a benefit_n some_o one_o may_v be_v find_v that_o will_v lay_v down_o his_o life_n to_o save_v the_o life_n of_o such_o a_o person_n but_o the_o love_n of_o christ_n have_v go_v far_o beyond_o this_o he_o die_v for_o sinner_n for_o those_o who_o be_v neither_o good_a man_n nor_o righteous_a but_o god_n commend_v his_o love_n to_o we_o in_o that_o whilst_o we_o be_v yet_o sinner_n christ_n die_v for_o we_o now_o where_o do_v the_o force_n of_o this_o argument_n lie_v if_o not_o in_o this_o that_o christ_n have_v do_v that_o for_o we_o who_o be_v enemy_n and_o sinner_n which_o some_o very_a few_o person_n in_o the_o world_n have_v do_v for_o their_o friend_n or_o for_o some_o very_o eminent_o good_a man_n and_o what_o be_v that_o why_o they_o have_v lay_v down_o their_o life_n in_o their_o stead_n and_o so_o christ_n have_v do_v for_o we_o this_o seem_v to_o be_v so_o very_a plain_n that_o i_o do_v not_o see_v how_o the_o force_n of_o this_o argument_n be_v possible_a to_o be_v avoid_v it_o be_v evident_a then_o from_o scripture_n that_o christ_n die_v not_o only_o for_o our_o advantage_n but_o in_o our_o stead_n as_o true_o and_o real_o as_o any_o man_n ever_o do_v or_o can_v die_v for_o another_o who_o lay_v down_o his_o own_o life_n to_o save_v another_o from_o death_n for_o if_o christ_n have_v not_o die_v we_o have_v perish_v everlasting_o and_o because_o he_o die_v we_o be_v save_v from_o eternal_a death_n and_o misery_n and_o though_o this_o be_v no_o where_o in_o scripture_n speak_v of_o by_o the_o name_n or_o term_v of_o satisfaction_n yet_o it_o be_v say_v to_o be_v the_o price_n of_o our_o redemption_n which_o sure_o be_v the_o same_o thing_n in_o effect_n with_o satisfaction_n for_o as_o we_o be_v sinner_n we_o be_v liable_a and_o as_o i_o may_v say_v indebt_v to_o the_o justice_n of_o god_n and_o the_o son_n of_o god_n by_o his_o death_n and_o suffering_n in_o our_o nature_n have_v discharge_v this_o obligation_n and_o pay_v this_o debt_n for_o we_o which_o discharge_v since_o it_o be_v obtain_v for_o we_o by_o the_o shed_n of_o christ_n blood_n and_o the_o scripture_n tell_v we_o that_o without_o shed_v of_o blood_n there_o be_v no_o remission_n of_o sin_n and_o since_o god_n be_v gracious_o please_v to_o accept_v of_o it_o for_o the_o debt_n which_o we_o owe_v to_o his_o justice_n and_o to_o declare_v himself_o full_o please_v and_o content_v with_o it_o why_o it_o may_v not_o proper_o enough_o be_v call_v payment_n or_o satisfaction_n i_o confess_v i_o be_o not_o able_a to_o understand_v man_n may_v eternal_o wrangle_v about_o any_o thing_n but_o what_o a_o frivolous_a contention_n what_o a_o trifle_n in_o serious_a matter_n what_o barratry_a in_o divinity_n be_v this_o not_o that_o god_n be_v angry_a with_o his_o son_n when_o he_o thus_o lay_v on_o he_o the_o iniquity_n of_o we_o all_o no_o he_o be_v always_o well_o please_v with_o he_o and_o never_o better_o than_o when_o he_o become_v obedient_a to_o the_o death_n even_o the_o death_n of_o the_o cross_n and_o bear_v our_o sin_n in_o his_o own_o body_n on_o the_o tree_n nor_o yet_o that_o our_o saviour_n suffer_v the_o very_a same_o that_o the_o sinner_n shall_v have_v suffer_v namely_o the_o proper_a pain_n and_o torment_n of_o the_o damn_a but_o that_o his_o obedience_n and_o suffering_n be_v of_o that_o value_n and_o esteem_v with_o god_n and_o his_o voluntary_a sacrifice_n of_o himself_o so_o well-pleasing_a to_o he_o that_o he_o thereupon_o enter_v into_o a_o covenant_n of_o grace_n and_o mercy_n with_o mankind_n wherein_o he_o have_v engage_v himself_o to_o forgive_v the_o sin_n of_o those_o who_o believe_v and_o repent_v and_o to_o make_v they_o partaker_n of_o eternal_a life_n and_o hence_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n which_o be_v shed_v for_o we_o upon_o the_o cross_n be_v call_v the_o blood_n of_o the_o covenant_n as_o be_v the_o sanction_n of_o that_o new_a covenant_n into_o which_o god_n be_v enter_v with_o mankind_n and_o not_o only_o the_o sanction_n and_o confirmation_n of_o that_o covenant_n but_o the_o very_a foundation_n of_o it_o for_o which_o reason_n the_o cup_n in_o the_o

remission_n of_o sin_n i_o proceed_v now_o to_o the_o two_o d._n thing_n propound_v which_o be_v to_o show_v that_o the_o expiation_n of_o our_o sin_n be_v make_v by_o the_o suffering_n of_o christ_n from_o the_o nature_n and_o intention_n of_o expiatory_a sacrifice_n both_o among_o the_o jew_n and_o heathen_a to_o which_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n be_v in_o the_o new_a testament_n so_o frequent_o compare_v and_o in_o point_n of_o virtue_n and_o efficacy_n to_o take_v away_o sin_n infinite_o prefer_v to_o it_o now_o the_o nature_n and_o design_n of_o expiatory_a sacrifice_n be_v plain_o this_o to_o substitute_v one_o live_v creature_n to_o suffer_v and_o die_v instead_o of_o another_o so_o that_o what_o the_o sinner_n deserve_v to_o have_v suffer_v be_v suppose_v to_o be_v do_v to_o the_o sacrifice_n that_o be_v it_o be_v slay_v to_o make_v a_o atonement_n for_o the_o sinner_n and_o though_o there_o be_v no_o reason_n to_o hope_v for_o any_o such_o effect_n from_o the_o blood_n of_o bull_n or_o of_o goat_n or_o of_o any_o other_o live_v creature_n that_o be_v wont_a to_o be_v offer_v up_o in_o sacrifice_n yet_o that_o both_o jew_n and_o heathen_a do_v expect_v and_o hope_v for_o it_o be_v so_o very_o evident_a that_o it_o can_v without_o extreme_a ignorance_n or_o obstinacy_n be_v deny_v but_o this_o expectation_n how_o unreasonable_a soever_o plain_o show_v it_o to_o have_v be_v the_o common_a apprehension_n of_o mankind_n in_o all_o age_n that_o god_n will_v not_o be_v appease_v nor_o shall_v sin_n be_v pardon_v

son_n to_o intercede_v for_o the_o pardon_n of_o a_o rebel_n yea_o and_o to_o suffer_v some_o punishment_n or_o to_o pay_v a_o fine_a for_o the_o obtain_n of_o it_o do_v not_o in_o effect_n and_o in_o all_o equitable_a and_o grateful_a construction_n forgive_v he_o free_o 3_o three_o it_o be_v yet_o further_o object_v that_o this_o seem_v to_o be_v more_o unreasonable_a than_o the_o sacrifice_a of_o beast_n among_o the_o jew_n nay_o than_o the_o sacrifice_a of_o man_n among_o the_o heathen_a and_o even_o of_o their_o own_o son_n and_o daughter_n because_o this_o be_v the_o offer_v up_o of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n the_o most_o innocent_a and_o the_o most_o excellent_a person_n that_o ever_o be_v to_o which_o i_o answer_v that_o if_o we_o consider_v the_o manner_n and_o the_o design_n of_o it_o the_o thing_n will_v appear_v to_o be_v quite_o otherwise_o as_o to_o the_o manner_n of_o it_o god_n do_v not_o command_v his_o son_n to_o be_v sacrifice_v but_o his_o providence_n permit_v the_o wickedness_n and_o violence_n of_o man_n to_o put_v he_o to_o death_n and_o then_o his_o goodness_n and_o wisdom_n do_v over-rule_v this_o worst_a of_o action_n to_o the_o best_a of_o ends._n and_o if_o we_o consider_v the_o matter_n aright_o how_o be_v this_o any_o more_o a_o reflection_n upon_o the_o holy_a providence_n of_o god_n than_o any_o enormity_n and_o cruelty_n which_o by_o his_o permission_n be_v daily_o commit_v in_o the_o world_n and_o then_o if_o we_o consider_v the_o end_n and_o design_n of_o this_o permission_n of_o christ_n death_n and_o the_o application_n of_o it_o to_o the_o purpose_n of_o a_o general_a expiation_n we_o can_v but_o acknowledge_v and_o even_o adore_v the_o gracious_a and_o merciful_a design_n of_o it_o for_o by_o this_o mean_v god_n do_v at_o once_o put_v a_o end_n to_o that_o unreasonable_a and_o bloody_a way_n of_o worship_n which_o have_v be_v so_o long_o practise_v in_o the_o world_n and_o after_o this_o one_o sacrifice_n which_o be_v so_o infinite_o dear_a to_o god_n the_o benefit_n of_o expiation_n be_v not_o to_o be_v expect_v in_o any_o other_o way_n all_o other_o sacrifice_n be_v worthless_a and_o vain_a in_o comparison_n of_o this_o and_o it_o have_v ever_o since_o obtain_v this_o effect_n of_o make_v all_o other_o sacrifice_n to_o cease_v in_o all_o part_n of_o the_o world_n where_o christianity_n have_v prevail_v four_o the_o last_o objection_n be_v the_o injustice_n and_o four_o cruelty_n of_o a_o innocent_a person_n be_v suffer_v instead_o of_o the_o offender_n to_o this_o i_o answer_v that_o they_o who_o make_v so_o great_a a_o noise_n with_o this_o objection_n do_v seem_v to_o i_o to_o give_v a_o full_a and_o clear_a answer_n to_o it_o themselves_o by_o acknowledge_v as_o they_o constant_o and_o express_o do_v that_o our_o saviour_n suffer_v all_o this_o for_o our_o benefit_n and_o advantage_n though_o not_o in_o our_o place_n and_o stead_n for_o this_o to_o my_o apprehension_n be_v plain_o to_o give_v up_o the_o cause_n unless_o they_o can_v show_v a_o good_a reason_n why_o there_o be_v not_o as_o much_o injustice_n and_o cruelty_n in_o a_o innocent_a person_n be_v suffer_v for_o the_o benefit_n and_o advantage_n of_o a_o malefactor_n as_o in_o his_o suffering_n in_o his_o stead_n so_o little_o do_v man_n in_o the_o heat_n of_o dispute_n and_o opposition_n who_o be_v resolve_v to_o hold_v fast_o a_o opinion_n in_o despite_n of_o reason_n and_o good_a sense_n consider_v that_o they_o do_v many_o time_n in_o effect_n and_o by_o necessary_a consequence_n grant_v the_o very_a thing_n which_o in_o express_a term_n they_o do_v so_o stiff_o and_o pertinacious_o deny_v the_o truth_n of_o the_o matter_n be_v this_o there_o be_v nothing_o of_o injustice_n or_o cruelty_n in_o either_o case_n neither_o in_o a_o innocent_a person_n be_v suffer_v for_o the_o benefit_n of_o a_o offender_n nor_o in_o his_o stead_n suppose_v the_o suffer_v to_o be_v voluntary_a but_o they_o have_v equal_o the_o same_o appearance_n of_o injustice_n and_o cruelty_n nor_o can_v i_o possible_o discern_v any_o reason_n why_o injustice_n and_o cruelty_n shall_v be_v object_v in_o the_o one_o case_n more_o than_o in_o the_o other_o there_o be_v every_o whit_n as_o little_a reason_n why_o a_o innocent_a person_n shall_v suffer_v for_o the_o benefit_n of_o a_o criminal_a as_o why_o he_o shall_v suffer_v in_o his_o stead_n so_o that_o i_o hope_v this_o objection_n which_o above_o all_o the_o rest_n have_v be_v so_o loud_o and_o so_o invidious_o urge_v have_v receive_v a_o just_a answer_n and_o i_o believe_v if_o the_o matter_n be_v search_v to_o the_o bottom_n all_o this_o perverse_a contention_n about_o our_o saviour_n suffering_n for_o our_o benefit_n but_o not_o in_o our_o stead_n will_v signify_v just_a nothing_o for_o if_o christ_n die_v for_o our_o benefit_n so_o as_o some_o way_n or_o other_o by_o virtue_n of_o his_o death_n and_o suffering_n to_o save_v we_o from_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n and_o to_o procure_v our_o escape_n from_o eternal_a death_n this_o for_o aught_o i_o know_v be_v all_o that_o any_o body_n mean_v by_o his_o die_v in_o our_o stead_n for_o he_o that_o die_v with_o a_o intention_n to_o do_v that_o benefit_n to_o another_o as_o to_o save_v he_o from_o death_n do_v certain_o to_o all_o intent_n and_o purpose_n die_v in_o his_o place_n and_o stead_n and_o if_o they_o will_v grant_v this_o to_o be_v their_o meaning_n the_o controversy_n be_v at_o a_o end_n and_o both_o side_n be_v agree_v in_o the_o thing_n and_o do_v only_o differ_v in_o

ought_v to_o be_v very_o far_o from_o reasonable_a and_o peaceable_a mind_n for_o the_o socinian_o say_v that_o our_o saviour_n voluntary_a obedience_n and_o suffering_n do_v procure_v his_o

that_o his_o obedience_n and_o suffering_n in_o the_o meritorious_a consequence_n of_o they_o do_v redound_v to_o our_o benefit_n and_o advantage_n as_o much_o as_o we_o pretend_v and_o say_v they_o

they_o have_v deny_v it_o so_o often_o and_o so_o long_o but_o i_o appeal_v to_o the_o ingenuity_n of_o our_o adversary_n whether_o this_o do_v not_o in_o the_o last_o issue_n come_v all_o to_o one_o and_o be_v not_o on_o their_o part_n a_o mere_a controversy_n about_o word_n for_o suppose_v a_o malefactor_n condemn_v to_o some_o grievous_a punishment_n and_o the_o king_n son_n to_o save_v he_o
