to_o this_o inference_n because_o i_o have_v already_o show_v in_o reply_n 3_o that_o the_o humane_a nature_n of_o christ_n be_v privilege_v from_o death_n and_o from_o the_o fear_n of_o death_n and_o

be_v a_o sin_n also_o but_o god_n command_n be_v a_o mere_a positive_a command_n and_o that_o kind_a of_o command_n say_v mr._n rutherfurd_n do_v never_o root_v out_o his_o natural_a desire_n to_o

rather_o think_v
his_o cup_n that_o be_v to_o say_v of_o the_o same_o bitter_a portion_n of_o death_n 2_o he_o tell_v they_o that_o they_o must_v be_v baptize_v with_o his_o baptism_n that_o be_v to_o say_v they_o must_v be_v put_v to_o death_n by_o the_o malice_n of_o tyrant_n as_o he_o must_v be_v and_o this_o be_v express_v by_o the_o metaphor_n of_o baptism_n for_o baptise_v be_v a_o dive_v or_o drown_v of_o the_o whole_a body_n under_o water_n and_o therefore_o christ_n ordain_v baptism_n as_o a_o typical_a sign_n of_o drown_v the_o body_n of_o sin_n in_o his_o blood_n but_o the_o baptise_v of_o

and_o in_o this_o very_a sense_n the_o apostle_n say_v else_o what_o shall_v they_o do_v that_o be_v baptize_v for_o dead_a namely_o what_o shall_v they_o do_v that_o be_v baptize_v with_o death_n

and_o hence_o it_o follow_v 1_o that_o the_o trouble_a fear_n which_o matthew_n and_o mark_n do_v ascribe_v unto_o christ_n in_o the_o garden_n must_v be_v understand_v of_o his_o natural_a fear_n of_o death_n and_o not_o of_o his_o fear_n of_o his_o father_n wrath_n 2_o hence_o it_o follow_v that_o all_o the_o outward_a suffering_n of_o christ_n be_v from_o man_n wrath_n and_o malice_n

desire_v of_o christ_n that_o the_o one_o may_v sit_v at_o his_o right_a hand_n and_o the_o other_o at_o his_o left_a in_o his_o glorious_a monarchy_n 2_o thereupon_o christ_n demand_v of_o they_o can_v you_o drink_v of_o the_o cup_n that_o i_o shall_v drink_v of_o they_o say_v we_o can_v then_o christ_n reply_v you_o shall_v indeed_o drink_v of_o the_o cup_n that_o i_o shall_v drink_v of_o hence_o it_o follow_v that_o see_v the_o cup_n of_o christ_n be_v fill_v with_o the_o vindicative_a wrath_n of_o god_n as_o mr._n norton_n affirm_v than_o james_n and_o john_n must_v drink_v of_o the_o same_o cup_n for_o say_v christ_n to_o they_o you_o shall_v drink_v of_o the_o same_o cup_n that_o i_o shall_v drink_v of_o but_o i_o think_v mr._n norton_n himself_o will_v say_v that_o they_o do_v not_o drink_v of_o the_o cup_n of_o god_n vindicative_a wrath_n but_o of_o the_o cup_n of_o a_o ignominious_a and_o violent_a death_n only_o therefore_o it_o hence_o follow_v by_o the_o like_a

son_n of_o zebedee_n say_v he_o drink_v of_o the_o cup_n of_o martyrdom_n not_o of_o the_o cup_n of_o satisfaction_n or_o redemption_n james_n and_o john_n be_v asleep_a while_n christ_n be_v drink_v that_o cup._n reply_v 12._o i_o grant_v that_o christ_n suffer_v as_o a_o satisfier_n but_o the_o only_a reason_n why_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n be_v a_o death_n of_o satisfaction_n be_v from_o the_o mutual_a covenant_n that_o be_v make_v between_o the_o trinity_n it_o be_v their_o agreement_n that_o make_v the_o death_n of_o christ_n to_o be_v a_o sacrifice_n of_o full_a satisfaction_n or_o to_o be_v the_o full_a price_n of_o trinity_n the_o only_a reason_n why_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n be_v a_o death_n of_o satisfaction_n distinct_a from_o martyrdom_n be_v the_o covenant_n between_o the_o trinity_n our_o redemption_n as_o i_o have_v show_v also_o in_o chap._n 9_o but_o because_o god_n make_v no_o such_o covenant_n with_o the_o son_n of_o zebedee_n therefore_o though_o they_o drink_v the_o cup_n of_o a_o violent_a death_n as_o christ_n do_v yet_o it_o be_v not_o for_o satisfaction_n it_o be_v no_o more_o but_o the_o cup_n of_o martyrdom_n in_o they_o but_o as_o i_o say_v before_o because_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n be_v a_o death_n of_o covenant_n it_o be_v not_o only_o a_o death_n of_o martyrdom_n but_o it_o be_v a_o death_n of_o satisfaction_n also_o second_o i_o

it_o seem_v that_o mr._n norton_n be_v not_o very_o well_o please_v with_o mr._n calvin_n judgement_n for_o in_o page_n 61._o mr._n norton_n do_v cite_v he_o on_o purpose_n to_o confute_v he_o mr._n calvin_n say_v he_o do_v affirm_v that_o christ_n suffer_v in_o his_o soul_n the_o terrible_a torment_n of_o the_o damn_a and_o forsake_a man_n but_o say_v mr._n norton_n because_o the_o suffering_n of_o the_o damn_a differ_v in_o some_o thing_n from_o the_o suffering_n of_o christ_n latter_a writer_n choose_v rather_o to_o say_v that_o he_o suffer_v the_o punishment_n of_o the_o elect_n who_o
