A91862	ʼIgeret HaMaskil Iggeret hammashkil. Or, An admonitory epistle unto Mr Rich. Baxter, and Mr Tho. Hotchkiss, about their applications (or mis-applications rather) of several texts of Scripture (tending cheifly) to prove that the afflictions of the godly are proper punishments. Unto which are prefixed two dissertations; the one against Mr. Baxter's dangerous problems and positions, about the immanent acts of Gods knowledge and will, as if any of those could be said (without blasphemy) to begin in God, in time, and not to be eternal as himself is: or, as if God could be said (without derogation to His infinite perfections) to begin to know and will in time, any thing which He did not know and will before, yea from all eternity: the other, both against Mr. Baxter and Mr. Hotchkiss, about their definition of pardon and remission of sins, in opposition to great Doctor Twisse's definition of pardon, as it is in God from all eternity towards his elect in Christ. / By William Robertson, Mr. of Arts from the University of Edenburgh.	Robertson, William, d. 1686?	1655 (1655)	Wing R1610; Thomason E1590_1; ESTC R208822	104,273	182

what_o can_v be_v a_o more_o absolute_a pardon_n and_o a_o more_o complete_a remission_n than_o this_o and_o who_o can_v deny_v it_o to_o be_v such_o now_o sir_n the_o application_n i_o leave_v to_o yourself_o for_o it_o be_v obvious_a for_o have_v not_o the_o lord_n from_o all_o eternity_n determine_v and_o decree_v not_o to_o punish_v his_o elect_a in_o christ_n for_o their_o sin_n with_o eternal_a death_n what_o be_v this_o decree_n and_o determination_n of_o the_o will_n of_o god_n but_o the_o real_a pardon_n remission_n and_o forgiveness_n of_o their_o sin_n secret_o in_o the_o breast_n of_o god_n although_o it_o be_v not_o know_v unto_o they_o and_o what_o though_o the_o sensible_a enjoyment_n of_o god_n favour_n be_v suspend_v for_o a_o season_n until_o the_o performance_n of_o a_o condition_n which_o be_v believe_v yet_o have_v not_o god_n purpose_v also_o to_o work_v and_o effectuate_v that_o faith_n in_o they_o which_o be_v the_o condition_n and_o do_v not_o that_o make_v their_o pardon_n in_o his_o breast_n altogether_o absolute_a and_o last_o what_o though_o he_o have_v appoint_v also_o to_o correct_v they_o with_o the_o rod_n of_o man_n for_o their_o sin_n yet_o the_o pardon_n of_o their_o soul_n for_o the_o main_a that_o be_v from_o eternal_a death_n be_v sure_a unto_o they_o and_o altogether_o absolute_o determine_v of_o god_n from_o all_o eternity_n and_o therefore_o as_o to_o that_o they_o be_v from_o eternity_n pardon_v from_o all_o the_o sin_n that_o they_o shall_v commit_v in_o time_n because_o from_o eternity_n he_o have_v purpose_v in_o christ_n not_o to_o punish_v their_o soul_n with_o eternal_a death_n now_o this_o be_v all_o that_o dr_n twiss_n and_o all_o other_o orthodox_n divine_v do_v mention_n about_o this_o point_n when_o they_o do_v affirm_v that_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o elect_n be_v pardon_v from_o eternity_n viz._n that_o god_n have_v from_o eternity_n purpose_a and_o determine_v in_o his_o immutable_a will_n not_o to_o punish_v his_o elect_n with_o eternal_a death_n for_o their_o sin_n but_o to_o free_v they_o from_o it_o and_o what_o be_v pardon_n from_o eternal_a death_n if_o it_o be_v not_o first_o chief_o and_o most_o proper_o the_o determinate_a purpose_n of_o the_o will_n of_o god_n not_o to_o punish_v with_o eternal_a death_n i_o profess_v sir_n i_o be_o almost_o ashamed_a to_o use_v so_o many_o word_n in_o so_o clear_a a_o case_n who_o but_o yourself_o and_o some_o few_o other_o from_o who_o you_o have_v drink_v in_o those_o principle_n will_n or_o can_v deny_v that_o pardon_n may_v be_v proper_o call_v the_o will_n or_o the_o purpose_n of_o the_o will_v not_o to_o punish_v and_o who_o else_o can_v deny_v that_o the_o will_v not_o to_o punish_v be_v real_o and_o may_v be_v call_v proper_o pardon_v true_o methinks_v the_o very_a first_o thought_n about_o the_o formal_a conception_n of_o those_o word_n remission_n pardon_v and_o forgiveness_n shall_v at_o the_o first_o inform_v any_o rational_a understanding_n that_o they_o be_v most_o proper_o rational_a act_n of_o rational_a and_o know_a faculty_n i_o mean_v that_o they_o be_v rational_a or_o reasonable_a act_n proceed_v from_o rational_a and_o reasonable_a agent_n and_o that_o they_o be_v immanent_a act_n elicit_v out_o of_o the_o rational_a faculty_n of_o those_o agent_n i_o mean_v in_o their_o first_o chief_a and_o most_o proper_a signification_n for_o what_o be_v it_o to_o pardon_v to_o remit_v to_o forgive_v but_o to_o resolve_v not_o to_o exact_v the_o rigour_n of_o punishment_n or_o to_o lay_v aside_o the_o resolution_n of_o exact_v strict_a punishment_n as_o if_o you_o be_v offend_v at_o my_o rude_a informal_a way_n of_o writing_n as_o you_o may_v think_v and_o if_o it_o be_v in_o your_o hand_n to_o

that_o i_o shall_v require_v or_o desire_v of_o you_o in_o such_o a_o suit_n but_o that_o you_o will_v free_o and_o willing_o be_v please_v to_o resolve_v or_o determine_v not_o to_o punish_v i_o i_o say_v this_o be_v the_o first_o thing_n that_o i_o will_v require_v and_o desire_v of_o you_o that_o you_o will_v purpose_v not_o to_o punish_v i_o and_o than_o if_o you_o be_v a_o man_n indeed_o that_o be_v constant_a in_o your_o resolution_n i_o will_v real_o hope_v that_o the_o punishment_n effectual_o shall_v not_o be_v inflict_v upon_o i_o so_o i_o say_v that_o which_o i_o do_v conceive_v be_v the_o first_o and_o formal_a conception_n to_o be_v apprehend_v about_o these_o word_n pardon_n remission_n and_o forgiveness_n etc._n etc._n be_v the_o will_v not_o to_o punish_v for_o what_o be_v it_o that_o formal_o i_o mean_v when_o i_o do_v say_v i_o pardon_v i_o remit_v i_o forgive_v you_o etc._n etc._n what_o be_v it_o i_o say_v that_o i_o mean_v by_o these_o word_n but_o only_o this_o i_o will_v not_o punish_v you_o or_o i_o will_v not_o deal_v with_o you_o in_o the_o strictness_n of_o punishment_n according_a as_o i_o can_v and_o as_o you_o deserve_v i_o say_v this_o be_v the_o first_o formal_a apprehension_n and_o conception_n of_o those_o word_n which_o be_v first_o primary_o and_o most_o proper_o mean_v by_o they_o although_o afterward_o a_o instrument_n or_o a_o grant_n of_o pardon_n and_o the_o act_n thereof_o may_v be_v call_v pardon_n in_o a_o legal_a or_o in_o a_o law-sense_n as_o also_o the_o negation_n of_o or_o cessation_n from_o punishment_n itself_o may_v be_v call_v executive_a pardon_n yet_o both_o those_o presuppose_v the_o first_o chief_a and_o most_o proper_a pardon_n which_o be_v mental_a in_o the_o breast_n or_o in_o the_o purpose_n and_o resolution_n of_o the_o will_v not_o to_o punish_v from_o which_o flow_v all_o the_o other_o as_o secondary_a less_o proper_a and_o more_o remote_a pardon_n to_o he_o who_o pardon_v at_o least_o and_o more_o improper_a pardon_n both_o to_o the_o pardoner_n and_o to_o the_o pardon_v the_o truth_n be_v sir_n i_o think_v this_o truth_n explain_v upon_o these_o ground_n be_v so_o clear_o evident_a to_o the_o understanding_n of_o any_o rational_a consideration_n even_o of_o a_o rustic_a or_o clownish_a apprehension_n that_o as_o i_o say_v at_o the_o beginning_n if_o you_o have_v any_o reasonable_a sense_n or_o understanding_n you_o can_v deny_v it_o and_o yet_o since_o the_o great_a scope_n of_o your_o whole_a exercitation_n be_v to_o disprove_v it_o and_o see_v that_o your_o great_a moecenae_n at_o every_o turn_n whensoever_o it_o come_v in_o his_o way_n do_v labour_n as_o much_o also_o as_o in_o he_o lie_v to_o disprove_v it_o i_o shall_v add_v yet_o one_o proof_n more_o and_o then_o i_o shall_v draw_v to_o a_o end_n of_o the_o point_n to_o clear_v the_o explication_n of_o it_o both_o against_o you_o and_o he_o and_o i_o think_v will_v you_o or_o will_v you_o both_o it_o shall_v strain_v a_o acknowledgement_n of_o the_o truth_n in_o general_n from_o you_o both_o 1._o you_o say_v sir_n that_o the_o will_v not_o to_o punish_v be_v not_o pardon_v proper_o why_o because_o you_o allege_v that_o the_o take_v away_o of_o the_o punishment_n itself_o be_v proper_o and_o formal_o the_o nature_n of_o pardon_n 2._o mr._n baxter_n say_v that_o the_o will_v not_o to_o punish_v be_v not_o pardon_v why_o because_o say_v he_o the_o dissolve_v of_o the_o obligation_n to_o punishment_n by_o the_o law_n be_v proper_o pardon_n and_o the_o nature_n of_o it_o but_o 3._o i_o say_v against_o you_o both_o that_o in_o neither_o of_o those_o the_o remission_n and_o forgiveness_n of_o sin_n in_o its_o form_n and_o nature_n do_v so_o much_o and_o so_o proper_o consist_v as_o in_o the_o resolute_a and_o determinate_a purpose_n of_o the_o will_v not_o to_o punish_v and_o i_o prove_v it_o thus_o by_o one_o general_a reason_n against_o you_o both_o that_o which_o may_v separate_v and_o real_o sever_v from_o the_o remission_n pardon_n and_o forgiveness_n of_o delinquency_n be_v not_o the_o nature_n of_o pardon_n and_o remission_n etc._n etc._n for_o i_o hope_v you_o will_v acknowledge_v that_o the_o nature_n of_o a_o thing_n can_v be_v real_o sever_v nor_o separate_v from_o itself_o but_o both_o the_o real_a or_o effectual_a take_n away_o of_o the_o punishment_n itself_o and_o the_o dissolve_v of_o the_o obligation_n to_o punishment_n by_o the_o law_n may_v be_v real_o separate_v and_o sever_v from_o pardon_n etc._n etc._n therefore_o in_o neither_o of_o they_o do_v the_o nature_n of_o pardon_n consist_v i_o prove_v the_o minor_a first_o against_o you_o sir_n and_o your_o definition_n of_o pardon_n viz._n that_o it_o be_v the_o effectual_a take_v away_o of_o the_o punishment_n itself_o and_o that_o by_o suppose_v this_o case_n which_o

have_v several_a time_n actual_o fall_v out_o to_o wit_n suppose_v a_o delinquent_n or_o one_o repute_v so_o be_v ordain_v appoint_v and_o send_v to_o the_o place_n of_o execution_n both_o by_o the_o law_n and_o the_o will_n of_o the_o king_n suppose_v in_o the_o mean_a time_n much_o intercession_n be_v make_v for_o his_o life_n and_o that_o he_o offer_v to_o give_v reasonable_a satisfaction_n for_o his_o offence_n or_o that_o perhaps_o some_o witness_n or_o evidence_n do_v come_v in_o which_o be_v not_o know_v of_o before_o declare_v and_o evince_v he_o to_o be_v innocent_a of_o the_o offence_n lay_v to_o his_o charge_n immediate_o both_o the_o king_n by_o his_o will_n and_o the_o law_n or_o the_o judge_n by_o the_o law_n acquit_v and_o pardon_v he_o and_o all_o haste_n with_o diligence_n be_v use_v and_o a_o message_n be_v send_v to_o prevent_v the_o execution_n but_o alas_o for_o the_o poor_a man_n case_n the_o messenger_n have_v a_o great_a way_n to_o go_v perhaps_o and_o the_o time_n may_v be_v short_a he_o have_v to_o go_v it_o in_o so_o that_o though_o he_o make_v all_o the_o diligent_a haste_n he_o can_v before_o he_o be_v able_a to_o come_v at_o the_o place_n of_o execution_n the_o hour_n appoint_v for_o it_o be_v come_v and_o the_o execution_n be_v do_v how_o do_v this_o case_n sir_n look_v upon_o your_o pardon_n or_o how_o do_v you_o look_v upon_o it_o whether_o be_v this_o man_n pardon_v or_o not_o take_v notice_n how_o you_o answer_v this_o question_n for_o you_o have_v more_o therein_o to_o contradict_v then_o i_o if_o you_o deny_v the_o pardon_n for_o it_o be_v not_o only_o i_o that_o will_v affirm_v this_o man_n real_o pardon_v by_o the_o mental_a pardon_n in_o the_o king_n breast_n or_o by_o the_o purpose_n of_o his_o will_n but_o your_o eagle-eyed_a patron_n will_v affirm_v it_o with_o i_o that_o the_o man_n be_v real_o pardon_v because_o the_o law_n do_v dissolve_v the_o obligation_n to_o know_v he_o as_o much_o as_o be_v in_o it_o to_o do_v and_o you_o shall_v be_v your_o eye_n will_v hardly_o see_v beyond_o the_o eagle_n so_o that_o you_o must_v not_o you_o will_v not_o contradict_v he_o whatever_o you_o will_v do_v i_o nay_o you_o say_v your_o self_n you_o will_v not_o contradict_v he_o in_o his_o definition_n of_o pardon_n to_o be_v the_o dissolve_v of_o the_o obligation_n to_o punishment_n in_o sense_n of_o law_n only_o you_o add_v somewhat_o more_o to_o his_o definition_n to_o wit_n the_o effectual_a take_v away_o of_o the_o punishment_n but_o sir_n say_v i_o if_o you_o add_v that_o you_o must_v not_o add_v it_o as_o the_o nature_n of_o pardon_n and_o as_o the_o definition_n of_o pardon_n for_o here_o the_o poor_a man_n have_v pardon_v real_a pardon_n yea_o full_a pardon_n not_o only_o in_o my_o estimation_n but_o in_o his_o estimation_n who_o opinion_n to_o you_o be_v of_o more_o force_n than_o a_o hundred_o of_o my_o reason_n and_o the_o punishment_n be_v not_o take_v away_o but_o the_o poor_a man_n be_v execute_v i_o profess_v sir_n i_o know_v not_o here_o what_o rational_o you_o can_v answer_v and_o i_o have_v put_v a_o stop_n for_o half_a a_o hour_n to_o my_o writing_n to_o think_v what_o shift_v you_o can_v possible_o make_v for_o yourself_o to_o evade_v and_o have_v somewhat_o at_o least_o to_o say_v that_o you_o be_v not_o utter_o silence_v and_o as_o yet_o nothing_o can_v come_v in_o my_o mind_n which_o probable_o you_o can_v be_v so_o irrational_a as_o to_o allege_v but_o this_o that_o thus_o it_o be_v with_o man_n pardon_n or_o with_o pardon_n among_o man_n but_o it_o be_v not_o so_o with_o god_n pardon_n but_o first_o sir_n when_o we_o speak_v of_o the_o nature_n quiddity_n or_o essence_n of_o a_o thing_n in_o the_o definition_n of_o it_o i_o think_v we_o shall_v take_v notice_n that_o all_o definition_n of_o any_o thing_n shall_v be_v universal_a or_o universal_o agree_v to_o the_o thing_n define_v wherever_o it_o be_v existent_a in_o every_o

〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d universal_o be_v affirm_v of_o that_o thing_n wherever_o it_o have_v a_o be_v now_o it_o be_v universal_o true_a that_o where_o ever_o there_o be_v any_o real_a pardon_n there_o be_v a_o will_v not_o to_o punish_v whether_o we_o speak_v of_o man_n pardon_n or_o of_o go_n second_o i_o say_v that_o if_o it_o be_v universal_o so_o in_o pardon_n and_o remission_n or_o forgiveness_n with_o man_n that_o his_o will_n or_o purpose_v not_o to_o punish_v offender_n be_v real_o and_o proper_o to_o be_v call_v pardon_n then_o any_o rational_a understanding_n will_v immediate_o infer_v that_o if_o there_o be_v such_o a_o will_n or_o purpose_n not_o to_o punish_v sinner_n in_o god_n then_o that_o will_v not_o to_o punish_v be_v real_o yea_o most_o real_o and_o proper_o yea_o most_o proper_o be_v to_o be_v call_v pardon_n in_o god_n for_o if_o a_o will_v not_o to_o punish_v in_o man_n be_v pardon_n as_o i_o do_v appeal_n to_o any_o man_n that_o have_v either_o sense_n or_o reason_n and_o his_o wit_n about_o he_o if_o it_o be_v not_o be_v not_o such_o a_o will_n not_o to_o punish_v if_o it_o be_v in_o god_n pardon_v also_o but_o such_o a_o will_n be_v in_o god_n from_o and_o unto_o all_o eternity_n not_o to_o punish_v the_o sin_n of_o his_o elect_n in_o christ_n with_o eternal_a death_n dare_v you_o deny_v this_o therefore_o there_o be_v in_o god_n from_o all_o eternity_n a_o proper_a pardon_n of_o his_o elect_n for_o all_o there_o sin_n as_o to_o eternal_a death_n because_o he_o have_v eternal_o purpose_v not_o to_o punish_v they_o with_o that_o and_o therefore_o as_o to_o that_o punishment_n of_o eternal_a death_n they_o be_v eternal_o pardon_v in_o the_o breast_n of_o god_n although_o they_o can_v know_v it_o themselves_o till_o they_o believe_v because_o god_n have_v eternal_o purpose_v in_o his_o breast_n or_o in_o the_o counsel_n of_o his_o will_n not_o to_o inflict_v it_o upon_o they_o notwithstanding_o their_o desert_n or_o merit_n of_o it_o in_o time_n but_o three_o sir_n the_o case_n may_v be_v so_o put_v home_o to_o you_o as_o to_o beat_v you_o quite_o out_o of_o that_o subterfuge_n and_o make_v you_o ashamed_a of_o it_o not_o only_o from_o reason_n which_o i_o conceive_v be_v do_v already_o but_o even_o from_o your_o own_o and_o your_o patron_n principle_n the_o argument_n hold_v good_a against_o your_o opinion_n that_o the_o effectual_a take_v away_o of_o the_o punishment_n be_v not_o the_o proper_a nature_n and_o essence_n of_o pardon_n because_o they_o can_v and_o may_v nay_o real_o they_o be_v often_o sever_v and_o separate_v the_o one_o from_o the_o other_o and_o that_o even_o in_o the_o pardon_n not_o only_o of_o man_n but_o of_o god_n according_a to_o the_o baxterian_a and_o
