christ_n be_v man_n who_o be_v the_o mediator_n but_o it_o do_v not_o say_v that_o he_o be_v mediator_n only_o as_o man_n yea_o and_o the_o next_o verse_n may_v satisfy_v we_o that_o he_o must_v be_v

and_o suffer_v for_o we_o suffer_v for_o we_o as_o our_o mediator_n the_o answer_n be_v this_o that_o whatsoever_o we_o be_v bind_v to_o do_v or_o to_o suffer_v by_o the_o law_n of_o god_n all_o that_o do_v christ_n do_v and_o suffer_v for_o we_o as_o be_v our_o surety_n and_o mediator_n now_o the_o law_n of_o god_n have_v a_o double_a challenge_n or_o demand_v upon_o we_o one_o be_v of_o

unto_o he_o a_o suffering_n of_o all_o that_o punishment_n which_o he_o threaten_v and_o we_o be_v fall_v by_o transgression_n can_v neither_o pay_v the_o one_o debt_n nor_o yet_o the_o other_o we_o can_v do_v all_o that_o the_o law_n require_v nay_o of_o ourselves_o we_o can_v do_v nothing_o neither_o can_v we_o so_o suffer_v as_o to_o satisfy_v god_n in_o his_o justice_n wrong_v by_o we_o or_o to_o recover_v ourselves_o into_o life_n and_o favour_n again_o and_o therefore_o jesus_n christ_n who_o be_v god_n make_v man_n do_v become_v our_o surety_n and_o stand_v in_o our_o stead_n or_o
