time_n for_o the_o sin_n of_o man_n and_o it_o be_v become_v the_o divine_a wisdom_n and_o goodness_n that_o the_o world_n shall_v have_v a_o more_o perfect_a revelation_n of_o the_o will_n of_o god_n than_o till_o then_o it_o have_v we_o may_v observe_v that_o god_n communicate_v the_o knowledge_n of_o himself_o to_o the_o world_n by_o several_a step_n and_o gradation_n as_o we_o instruct_v child_n proportionable_o to_o their_o age_n and_o capacity_n and_o the_o time_n when_o our_o saviour_n appear_v be_v call_v the_o fullness_n of_o time_n as_o if_o it_o be_v the_o ripe_a and_o manly_a age_n of_o the_o world_n and_o fit_v for_o that_o perfect_a dispensation_n of_o the_o gospel_n but_o for_o what_o reason_n soever_o god_n defer_v the_o come_n of_o our_o saviour_n for_o so_o long_a a_o time_n it_o be_v sufficient_o evident_a what_o advantage_n we_o now_o enjoy_v by_o the_o publication_n of_o the_o gospel_n that_o we_o have_v a_o great_a confirmation_n of_o our_o faith_n more_o perfect_a rule_n of_o life_n more_o persuasive_a argument_n and_o more_o powerful_a assistance_n of_o the_o holy_a spirit_n and_o if_o we_o be_v not_o better_o than_o other_o man_n all_o our_o counterfeit_n and_o hypocritical_a relyance_n on_o christ_n will_v avail_v we_o nothing_o which_o i_o will_v desire_v our_o debate_n writer_n to_o consider_v who_o have_v not_o yet_o attain_v to_o the_o moral_a honesty_n of_o a_o heathen_a as_o may_v appear_v from_o his_o whole_a pamphlet_n which_o be_v nothing_o else_o but_o a_o malicious_a design_n to_o pervert_v my_o word_n or_o sense_n but_o i_o shall_v at_o present_v only_o set_v down_o one_o paragraph_n which_o need_v no_o other_o confutation_n than_o what_o have_v be_v already_o say_v for_o thus_o he_o make_v the_o devil_n to_o argue_v which_o be_v a_o true_a fanatic_a trick_n to_o lay_v all_o their_o fault_n lie_n and_o calumny_n upon_o the_o devil_n be_v not_o this_o to_o make_v christ_n useless_a and_o to_o reduce_v religion_n to_o its_o first_o natural_a state_n when_o you_o make_v no_o other_o duty_n necessary_a to_o happiness_n than_o what_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n suggest_v and_o no_o other_o ground_n needful_a to_o the_o hope_n of_o it_o than_o the_o goodness_n of_o god_n which_o have_v be_v know_v as_o full_o as_o now_o it_o be_v if_o christ_n have_v never_o appear_v in_o the_o world_n but_o this_o be_v enough_o to_o show_v how_o impious_o i_o be_o traduce_v by_o this_o author_n as_o assert_v that_o good_a man_n be_v not_o save_v by_o christ_n till_o he_o come_v and_o that_o we_o may_v still_o be_v save_v by_o the_o guidance_n of_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n without_o supernatural_a revelation_n nay_o as_o he_o will_v insinuate_v that_o every_o man_n shall_v be_v save_v by_o the_o law_n or_o sect_n which_o he_o profess_v so_o he_o be_v diligent_a to_o frame_v his_o life_n according_a to_o that_o law_n and_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n for_o so_o he_o bring_v in_o the_o devil_n charge_v i_o with_o contradict_v the_o church_n of_o england_n in_o this_o and_o i_o profess_v i_o can_v never_o have_v think_v that_o any_o one_o but_o the_o devil_n will_v have_v invent_v such_o a_o charge_n against_o i_o but_o second_o his_o next_o charge_n be_v that_o i_o make_v christ_n whole_o useless_a because_o i_o will_v not_o assert_v that_o god_n can_v not_o have_v find_v out_o any_o other_o possible_a way_n for_o the_o salvation_n of_o mankind_n but_o only_o by_o christ_n now_o though_o i_o do_v not_o think_v this_o author_n a_o sit_v person_n to_o dispute_v with_o for_o there_o be_v two_o sort_n of_o man_n who_o will_v never_o understand_v better_o great_a fool_n and_o great_a knave_n and_o because_o i_o perceive_v our_o author_n be_v of_o the_o devil_n 12._o mind_n rather_o to_o be_v account_v a_o knave_n than_o a_o fool_n let_v he_o have_v his_o choice_n yet_o for_o the_o satisfaction_n of_o more_o teachable_a mind_n i_o shall_v brief_o represent_v the_o difference_n between_o we_o these_o man_n find_v the_o necessity_n of_o satisfaction_n upon_o such_o a_o natural_a vindictive_a justice_n as_o make_v it_o impossible_a that_o god_n anger_n shall_v be_v divert_v from_o sinner_n without_o the_o interpose_v of_o a_o propitiation_n and_o because_o this_o anger_n and_o revenge_n in_o god_n be_v infinite_a like_o himself_o therefore_o there_o must_v be_v a_o infinite_a sacrifice_n to_o appease_v it_o and_o that_o can_v be_v no_o other_o than_o the_o eternal_a son_n of_o god_n incarnate_a or_o make_v man_n who_o must_v die_v to_o satisfy_v a_o natural_a and_o unappeasable_a revenge_n and_o fury_n this_o make_v a_o representation_n of_o a_o good_a and_o merciful_a god_n too_o like_o that_o which_o some_o do_v of_o the_o devil_n and_o i_o do_v not_o wonder_v that_o mr._n danson_n devil_n plead_v for_o it_o since_o it_o be_v so_o natural_a to_o draw_v the_o picture_n of_o god_n like_o ourselves_o and_o it_o represent_v the_o justice_n of_o god_n not_o to_o be_v the_o justice_n of_o a_o wise_a governor_n which_o must_v always_o serve_v a_o public_a good_a and_o punish_v for_o no_o other_o reason_n but_o more_o to_o resemble_v a_o private_a revenge_n which_o glut_v itself_o with_o blood_n as_o i_o phrased_a it_o in_o my_o first_o book_n but_o retract_v it_o for_o the_o harshness_n of_o the_o expression_n in_o my_o second_o though_o our_o author_n be_v so_o ingenuous_a as_o to_o repeat_v it_o again_o in_o this_o pamphlet_n this_o be_v such_o a_o account_n of_o the_o end_n of_o christ_n death_n as_o the_o scripture_n no_o where_o give_v as_o be_v incredible_a in_o itself_o and_o irreconcilable_a with_o the_o other_o perfection_n of_o the_o divine_a nature_n the_o scripture_n have_v assure_v we_o that_o christ_n die_v for_o our_o sin_n that_o he_o die_v for_o we_o that_o he_o be_v a_o propitiation_n for_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o whole_a world_n that_o we_o be_v reconcile_v to_o god_n by_o the_o death_n of_o his_o son_n that_o his_o blood_n be_v the_o blood_n of_o the_o covenant_n that_o he_o have_v redeem_v his_o church_n with_o his_o own_o blood_n and_o have_v purchase_v and_o ratify_v the_o new_a testament_n in_o his_o blood_n and_o several_a such_o expression_n we_o meet_v with_o but_o we_o be_v not_o so_o express_o tell_v wherein_o the_o virtue_n of_o christ_n death_n consist_v how_o it_o make_v a_o atonement_n for_o our_o sin_n and_o i_o shall_v rather_o guess_v at_o five_o hundred_o reason_n than_o pitch_n upon_o this_o that_o the_o belove_a son_n of_o god_n who_o be_v infinite_o dear_a to_o his_o father_n even_o when_o he_o hang_v upon_o the_o cross_n shall_v die_v on_o purpose_n to_o satisfy_v a_o revenge_n which_o will_v be_v satisfy_v with_o no_o mean_a sacrifice_n we_o may_v understand_v how_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n satisfy_v the_o justice_n of_o god_n consider_v as_o the_o wise_a and_o holy_a governor_n of_o the_o world_n as_o it_o secure_v the_o authority_n of_o his_o law_n and_o the_o glory_n of_o his_o government_n and_o vindicate_v the_o holiness_n of_o his_o nature_n that_o god_n may_v now_o forgive_v sin_n without_o injure_v any_o of_o his_o attribute_n or_o give_v any_o encouragement_n to_o sinner_n to_o continue_v wicked_a which_o seem_v to_o be_v the_o proper_a satisfaction_n of_o a_o govern_v justice_n but_o wherein_o soever_o the_o nature_n of_o this_o atonement_n consist_v it_o be_v sufficient_a to_o we_o to_o know_v that_o god_n accept_v of_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n as_o a_o atonement_n for_o our_o sin_n which_o seal_v to_o we_o the_o pardon_n of_o our_o sin_n and_o the_o promise_n of_o eternal_a happiness_n upon_o the_o condition_n of_o faith_n and_o repentance_n and_o a_o new_a life_n and_o do_v it_o become_v such_o silly_a creature_n as_o we_o be_v to_o limit_v infinite_a wisdom_n and_o to_o assert_v that_o god_n can_v not_o possible_o have_v find_v out_o any_o other_o way_n for_o the_o redemption_n of_o mankind_n let_v those_o say_v so_o who_o dare_v pretend_v to_o comprehend_v infinite_a wisdom_n for_o without_o a_o infinite_a understanding_n none_o can_v tell_v what_o be_v possible_a to_o a_o infinite_a mind_n but_o do_v this_o make_n christ_n useless_a or_o argue_v that_o we_o may_v be_v save_v without_o he_o now_o god_n have_v pitch_v upon_o this_o way_n for_o the_o salvation_n of_o sinner_n because_o it_o be_v possible_a god_n may_v have_v choose_v some_o other_o way_n of_o salvation_n when_o god_n have_v reject_v all_o other_o way_n and_o choose_v one_o that_o one_o become_v absolute_o necessary_a as_o if_o there_o be_v no_o other_o possible_a way_n for_o we_o must_v be_v save_v in_o such_o a_o way_n as_o god_n have_v appoint_v not_o in_o such_o way_n as_o god_n may_v have_v appoint_v but_o have_v not_o this_o be_v a_o sufficient_a answer_n to_o those_o several_a quotation_n out_o of_o my_o book_n
