of_o the_o world_n esteem_v they_o to_o be_v but_o corrupt_v stream_n of_o the_o ancient_a revelation_n afford_v to_o our_o first_o father_n and_o as_o for_o those_o text_n of_o scripture_n which_o you_o allege_v they_o do_v by_o no_o mean_n undervalue_v or_o cast_v any_o reflection_n upon_o god_n ritual_a law_n and_o sacrifice_n but_o the_o design_n of_o they_o be_v to_o show_v that_o man_n shall_v not_o place_v their_o obedience_n only_o in_o the_o ritual_a part_n of_o religion_n whilst_o they_o neglect_v the_o more_o substantial_a duty_n of_o morality_n and_o this_o be_v a_o truth_n which_o every_o honest_a christian_a as_o well_o as_o you_o deist_n think_v himself_o bind_v to_o believe_v phil._n i_o confess_v what_o you_o say_v do_v not_o altogether_o want_v some_o probability_n but_o still_o methinks_v these_o vicarious_a punishment_n seem_v but_o insignificant_a trifle_n in_o matter_n of_o religion_n because_o they_o do_v not_o make_v man_n the_o better_a or_o the_o more_o innocent_a indeed_o if_o these_o expiation_n either_o in_o themselves_o or_o as_o they_o have_v relation_n to_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n do_v perfect_o take_v away_o sin_n than_o there_o be_v something_o in_o what_o you_o say_v but_o they_o only_o leave_v the_o man_n as_o they_o find_v he_o unless_o true_a repentance_n do_v make_v he_o better_o so_o that_o the_o mediatorship_n without_o repentance_n signify_v nothing_o at_o all_o and_o repentance_n where_o they_o know_v nothing_o of_o this_o mediatorship_n must_v by_o all_o charitable_a man_n be_v allow_v to_o be_v valid_a and_o therefore_o what_o need_v of_o the_o mediatorship_n or_o satisfaction_n at_o all_o repentance_n after_o sin_v be_v all_o that_o man_n can_v do_v or_o god_n can_v require_v it_o be_v true_a the_o debt_n we_o owe_v to_o god_n almighty_a by_o sin_v be_v infinite_a and_o what_o then_o 207._o oracle_n of_o reason_n p._n 207._o if_o i_o owe_v a_o million_o and_o can_v pay_v but_o a_o thousand_o

law_n be_v void_a of_o mercy_n so_o that_o when_o i_o have_v do_v my_o all_o that_o be_v repent_v what_o need_n be_v there_o of_o expiation_n when_o god_n mercy_n will_v acquit_v i_o as_o have_v pay_v what_o i_o be_v able_a cred._n mediatorship_n god_n honour_n to_o be_v consider_v in_o the_o mediatorship_n it_o be_v true_a that_o god_n mercy_n be_v that_o bless_a attribute_n to_o which_o the_o pardon_n of_o all_o our_o sin_n be_v owe_v and_o upon_o which_o the_o mediatorship_n be_v found_v this_o be_v that_o which_o give_v life_n to_o the_o stipulation_n between_o christ_n and_o the_o father_n that_o he_o shall_v die_v for_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o whole_a world_n in_o which_o all_o sufficient_a sacrifice_n all_o other_o expiation_n receive_v their_o force_n and_o energy_n and_o it_o be_v likewise_o true_a that_o after_o sin_n commit_v repentance_n and_o amendment_n be_v all_o we_o can_v do_v on_o our_o part_n but_o then_o further_o we_o christian_n say_v that_o the_o mediatorship_n must_v do_v something_o likewise_o on_o god_n part_n as_o well_o as_o we_o by_o sin_n god_n honour_n be_v violate_v and_o our_o life_n be_v forfeit_v now_o both_o these_o be_v to_o be_v remedy_v by_o the_o efficacy_n of_o the_o mediator_n indeed_o mercy_n for_o god_n to_o pardon_n and_o repentance_n for_o we_o to_o amend_v be_v all_o that_o be_v necessary_a for_o our_o security_n but_o then_o on_o the_o other_o side_n why_o must_v there_o be_v no_o satisfaction_n give_v for_o the_o injure_a honour_n of_o god_n god_n may_v be_v as_o merciful_a to_o the_o world_n as_o he_o please_v but_o still_o he_o must_v be_v just_a to_o his_o own_o dignity_n for_o otherways_o he_o will_v divest_v himself_o of_o the_o government_n of_o the_o world_n and_o leave_v impudent_a sinner_n to_o sin_n without_o control_n and_o therefore_o we_o say_v that_o therein_o lie_v the_o admirable_a wisdom_n of_o the_o mediatorship_n that_o both_o party_n be_v thereby_o satisfy_v god_n have_v the_o security_n of_o his_o honour_n and_o man_n of_o his_o salvation_n phil._n but_o credentius_n this_o satisfaction_n as_o you_o call_v it_o in_o the_o mediatorship_n be_v a_o business_n which_o lie_v so_o cross_a in_o my_o brain_n and_o be_v pregnant_a with_o such_o a_o number_n of_o absurdity_n that_o i_o can_v never_o away_o with_o it_o and_o therefore_o you_o see_v that_o not_o only_o we_o but_o your_o brother_n christian_n the_o socinian_o be_v so_o aware_a of_o the_o grossness_n of_o this_o doctrine_n that_o they_o be_v unanimous_o agree_v upon_o it_o to_o explode_v it_o as_o give_v man_n such_o a_o barbarous_a notion_n of_o the_o deity_n as_o be_v inconsistent_a with_o the_o excellency_n of_o his_o nature_n for_o satisfaction_n do_v suppose_v a_o angry_a revengeful_a temper_n which_o desire_v to_o be_v glut_v with_o the_o punishment_n of_o the_o offend_a party_n which_o when_o that_o be_v bring_v about_o become_v tame_a good-natured_a and_o reconcileable_a but_o this_o be_v such_o a_o pitiful_a imbecility_n even_o in_o humane_a nature_n as_o wise_a man_n be_v ashamed_a of_o and_o therefore_o to_o attribute_v this_o to_o the_o infinite_a purity_n and_o wisdom_n of_o god_n be_v no_o less_o i_o think_v than_o the_o most_o dare_a blasphemy_n but_o suppose_v there_o be_v such_o a_o angry_a vindictive_a nature_n in_o the_o deity_n yet_o methinks_v even_o then_o he_o shall_v rather_o choose_v to_o take_v revenge_n upon_o every_o one_o for_o their_o own_o demerit_n which_o will_v be_v agreeable_a to_o justice_n and_o not_o make_v one_o innocent_a person_n viz._n jesus_n christ_n who_o have_v no_o sin_n as_o you_o suppose_v to_o suffer_v for_o the_o sin_n of_o all_o other_o wicked_a man_n and_o to_o lay_v the_o deserve_a suffering_n of_o so_o many_o outrageous_a offender_n upon_o the_o back_n of_o the_o most_o pious_a and_o spotless_a man_n that_o by_o your_o account_n ever_o come_v into_o the_o world_n but_o when_o we_o far_o consider_v that_o this_o innocent_a person_n be_v own_v by_o you_o to_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n and_o his_o only_a son_n too_o and_o must_v nevertheless_o be_v sacrifice_v to_o appease_v this_o vindictive_a nature_n of_o god_n before_o he_o can_v be_v reconcile_v to_o the_o world_n this_o be_v such_o a_o horrid_a representation_n of_o the_o best_a of_o being_n as_o shock_n human_a nature_n to_o

this_o suffer_a person_n be_v the_o supreme_a god_n himself_o who_o by_o this_o scheme_n be_v suppose_v to_o have_v take_v upon_o he_o all_o the_o infirmity_n of_o a_o human_a body_n be_v hungry_a and_o thirsty_a and_o at_o last_o be_v crucify_v and_o die_v now_o this_o do_v imply_v a_o sort_n of_o a_o passibility_n in_o the_o deity_n which_o of_o all_o heterodoxy_n be_v the_o most_o gross_a and_o absurd_a cred._n i_o have_v not_o time_n now_o to_o enter_v with_o you_o into_o the_o nice_a dispute_n of_o the_o socinian_n controversy_n upon_o this_o subject_a satisfaction_n what_o be_v mean_v by_o satisfaction_n but_o however_o i_o do_v not_o see_v any_o thing_n in_o the_o general_a notion_n of_o christ_n satisfaction_n which_o do_v reflect_v at_o all_o upon_o the_o goodness_n of_o the_o divine_a nature_n indeed_o the_o word_n satisfaction_n be_v not_o find_v in_o scripture_n but_o the_o whole_a substance_n of_o what_o the_o word_n import_v be_v and_o this_o and_o all_o other_o word_n which_o be_v use_v to_o express_v any_o of_o the_o divine_a action_n or_o nature_n must_v be_v use_v metaphorical_o and_o not_o be_v take_v in_o so_o strict_a a_o sense_n as_o when_o they_o be_v use_v proper_o and_o according_a to_o their_o original_a application_n now_o the_o satisfaction_n which_o be_v here_o mean_v be_v not_o such_o a_o satisfaction_n as_o a_o angry_a man_n require_v but_o a_o judicial_a or_o forensical_a satisfaction_n which_o a_o governor_n require_v of_o a_o offender_n upon_o the_o violation_n of_o his_o law_n now_o whereas_o the_o whole_a oeconomy_n of_o our_o salvation_n be_v deliver_v in_o scripture_n in_o forensical_a term_n as_o when_o god_n be_v represent_v as_o a_o judge_n man_n as_o a_o offender_n or_o criminal_a god_n word_n as_o the_o law_n by_o which_o he_o be_v condemn_v death_n as_o the_o punishment_n christ_n as_o a_o mediator_n and_o surety_n his_o death_n as_o a_o 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d or_o price_n of_o redemption_n now_o i_o

upon_o account_n of_o our_o sin_n by_o the_o name_n of_o satisfaction_n for_o this_o be_v no_o bloody_a revengeful_a satisfaction_n which_o impotent_a and_o passionate_a mind_n be_v wont_a to_o call_v for_o but_o only_o such_o a_o just_a debt_n as_o aught_o to_o be_v pay_v to_o the_o justice_n of_o god_n consider_v as_o the_o governor_n of_o the_o world_n i_o be_o not_o insensible_a that_o some_o calvinistical_a writer_n have_v carry_v this_o matter_n a_o little_a too_o far_o by_o leave_v no_o room_n at_o all_o for_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n to_o exert_v itself_o in_o this_o wonderful_a dispensation_n and_o make_v the_o divine_a justice_n to_o require_v a_o satisfaction_n to_o be_v make_v by_o the_o same_o specific_a infinite_a punishment_n which_o we_o have_v deserve_v in_o the_o suffering_n of_o our_o saviour_n so_o as_o to_o think_v that_o no_o satisfaction_n can_v be_v unless_o christ_n actual_o suffer_v upon_o the_o cross_a all_o the_o eternal_a torment_n of_o the_o damn_a intensiuè_n as_o they_o speak_v though_o not_o extensiuè_v so_o that_o our_o saviour_n in_o his_o agony_n and_o crucifixion_n must_v suffer_v torment_n as_o much_o infinite_o great_a than_o damn_a soul_n as_o their_o eternity_n of_o suffer_v be_v long_a than_o the_o hour_n of_o our_o saviour_n passion_n but_o this_o have_v no_o foundation_n in_o scripture_n and_o seem_v horrid_a to_o christian_a ear_n it_o be_v enough_o to_o say_v that_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n dispose_v he_o to_o accept_v of_o the_o temporal_a suffering_n of_o christ_n for_o our_o sin_n in_o lieu_n of_o the_o eternal_a punishment_n which_o we_o have_v deserve_v and_o so_o the_o infinite_a dignity_n of_o the_o person_n suffer_v be_v a_o sufficient_a satisfaction_n to_o the_o divine_a justice_n offend_v
