racovian_a friend_n pretend_v to_o take_v distaste_v because_o they_o believe_v that_o christ_n only_o die_v for_o our_o good_a 142._o p._n 141_o 142._o and_o not_o in_o our_o stead_n that_o by_o his_o death_n he_o may_v full_o confirm_v his_o gospel_n and_o give_v it_o a_o great_a authority_n they_o believe_v that_o by_o his_o die_a he_o intend_v to_o set_v we_o a_o most_o perfect_a pattern_n of_o bear_v the_o sharp_a suffering_n with_o the_o perfect_a patience_n and_o the_o most_o entire_a charity_n that_o by_o do_v this_o he_o be_v to_o merit_v at_o god_n hand_n that_o supreme_a authority_n with_o which_o he_o be_v now_o vest_v for_o our_o good_a that_o so_o he_o may_v obtain_v a_o power_n to_o offer_v the_o world_n pardon_v of_o sin_n upon_o their_o true_a repentance_n final_o that_o he_o die_v in_o order_n to_o his_o resurrection_n and_o for_o give_v a_o sensible_a proof_n of_o that_o main_a article_n of_o his_o religion_n now_o what_o do_v his_o lordship_n believe_v more_o than_o this_o why_o he_o say_v the_o same_o thing_n over_o again_o in_o a_o new_a set_a of_o phrase_n and_o add_v this_o expression_n christ_n suffer_v both_o upon_o our_o account_n 143._o p._n 143._o and_o in_o our_o stead_n if_o the_o bishop_n will_v abide_v by_o the_o strict_a and_o most_o proper_a sense_n of_o these_o word_n in_o our_o stead_n he_o will_v indeed_o differ_v in_o a_o considerable_a matter_n from_o the_o racovian_o but_o then_o he_o will_v also_o differ_v as_o much_o from_o himself_o for_o he_o mean_v no_o more_o by_o suffer_v in_o our_o stead_n than_o the_o racovian_o mean_v by_o suffer_v for_o our_o good_a as_o appear_v from_o what_o he_o say_v p._n 135._o if_o every_o sin_n as_o be_v of_o infinite_a guilt_n must_v be_v expiate_v by_o a_o infinite_a act_n it_o will_v not_o be_v easy_a to_o make_v this_o out_o how_o the_o act_n of_o christ_n though_o infinite_a in_o value_n shall_v stand_v in_o a_o strict_a equality_n with_o all_o the_o sin_n of_o so_o many_o man_n every_o one_o of_o which_o be_v of_o infinite_a guilt_n if_o his_o lordship_n be_v sincere_a in_o this_o than_o he_o can_v pretend_v to_o believe_v that_o christ_n suffer_v the_o infinite_a punishment_n due_a to_o the_o infinite_a gild_n of_o all_o man_n and_o by_o do_v so_o make_v a_o full_a proper_a and_o adequate_a satisfaction_n for_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o world_n which_o be_v the_o strict_a and_o proper_a sense_n of_o suffer_v in_o our_o stead_n all_o that_o his_o lordship_n do_v or_o can_v consistent_o to_o himself_o make_v of_o this_o phrase_n in_o our_o stead_n be_v that_o christ_n do_v so_o suffer_v for_o our_o good_a that_o if_o he_o have_v not_o suffer_v as_o he_o do_v we_o must_v have_v be_v the_o miserable_a sufferer_n ourselves_o but_o there_o be_v another_o phrase_n wherein_o his_o lordship_n labour_v to_o distinguish_v himself_o from_o his_o friend_n and_o that_o be_v expiatory_a sacrifice_n but_o he_o may_v please_v to_o consider_v that_o the_o racovian_o be_v not_o utter_o averse_a from_o this_o phrase_n for_o in_o their_o catechism_n to_o that_o question_n what_o think_v you_o of_o those_o sacrifice_n i._n e._n of_o the_o old_a covenant_n they_o answer_v p._n 139._o by_o they_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o people_n be_v expiate_v or_o atone_v that_o be_v by_o the_o intervening_a of_o those_o sacrifice_n remission_n of_o sin_n gracious_o decree_v by_o god_n be_v bring_v to_o effect_v otherwhere_o also_o they_o thankful_o acknowledge_v that_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n expiate_v our_o sin_n through_o the_o gracious_a condescension_n of_o his_o father_n who_o be_v please_v to_o accept_v that_o sacrifice_n not_o as_o a_o payment_n to_o his_o justice_n but_o as_o a_o application_n to_o his_o mercy_n and_o just_o thus_o but_o more_o elegant_o as_o always_o his_o lordship_n explain_v what_o he_o mean_v by_o a_o expiatory_a sacrifice_n p._n 151._o we_o be_v to_o consider_v that_o in_o sacrifice_n it_o be_v the_o appointment_n and_o the_o acceptation_n which_o make_v the_o satisfaction_n for_o god_n accept_v a_o sacrifice_n be_v a_o abatement_n of_o the_o rigour_n of_o justice_n and_o a_o declare_v that_o he_o will_v pardon_v sin_n in_o such_o a_o method_n and_o upon_o such_o a_o consideration_n he_o have_v speak_v to_o the_o same_o purpose_n p._n 136._o but_o i_o be_o weary_a of_o transcribe_v by_o what_o i_o have_v say_v it_o be_v plain_a that_o on_o the_o article_n of_o christ_n death_n and_o satisfaction_n for_o the_o sin_n of_o mankind_n there_o be_v no_o real_a difference_n between_o the_o bishop_n and_o the_o racovian_a catechism_n and_o when_o his_o lordship_n explain_v his_o less_o proper_a phrase_n there_o be_v a_o end_n of_o all_o verbal_a difference_n between_o they_o as_o before_o of_o the_o bishop_n of_o worcester_n so_o now_o of_o the_o bishop_n of_o sarum_n i_o have_v one_o thing_n to_o beg_v in_o behalf_n of_o the_o unitarian_n but_o because_o i_o will_v not_o

etc._n p._n 7._o he_o may_v for_o our_o part_n be_v anathema_n that_o teach_v or_o believe_v that_o doctrine_n viz._n that_o there_o be_v no_o merit_n in_o what_o christ_n do_v or_o suffer_v and_o

by_o way_n of_o humble_a suit_n now_o i_o take_v this_o passage_n to_o be_v so_o far_o from_o a_o contradiction_n that_o it_o may_v be_v look_v upon_o as_o a_o just_a and_o reasonable_a explication_n of_o the_o former_a the_o bishop_n of_o sarum_n either_o more_o honest_a or_o more_o discern_a than_o mr._n edward_n represent_v the_o socinian_o own_v that_o christ_n by_o his_o death_n merit_v at_o god_n hand_n merit_v a_o supreme_a authority_n and_o obtain_v a_o power_n to_o offer_v the_o world_n pardon_v of_o sin_n upon_o their_o true_a repentance_n p._n 142._o he_o believe_v also_o with_o the_o unitarian_n that_o the_o oblation_n be_v make_v not_o to_o the_o justice_n but_o to_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n for_o he_o say_v pag._n 135._o the_o right_n of_o punish_v god_n may_v use_v or_o not_o use_v as_o he_o please_v and_o that_o the_o act_n of_o christ_n though_o infinite_a in_o value_n can_v stand_v in_o a_o strict_a equality_n with_o the_o sin_n of_o mankind_n and_o whereas_o mr._n edward_n accuse_v the_o unitarian_n for_o scoff_v and_o ridicul_v the_o merit_n and_o satisfaction_n of_o christ_n they_o be_v ready_a to_o tell_v he_o 1._o that_o they_o be_v the_o least_o

bishop_n of_o sarum_n understand_v those_o word_n whatever_o they_o may_v have_v do_v to_o the_o calvinistical_a hypothesis_n which_o mr._n edward_n must_v embrace_v if_o on_o this_o subject_a he_o dispute_v against_o they_o 3._o whether_o the_o calvinistical_a hypothesis_n be_v fit_a to_o be_v scoff_v at_o i_o will_v not_o argue_v but_o i_o be_o sure_a it_o deserve_v to_o be_v abhor_v that_o there_o be_v no_o such_o justice_n in_o god_n as_o necessary_o oblige_v he_o to_o exact_v a_o satisfaction_n be_v a_o

lordship_n and_o the_o church_n put_v a_o honest_a sense_n and_o the_o racovian_o be_v too_o stiff_a in_o refuse_v they_o especial_o consider_v that_o in_o their_o very_a catechism_n they_o speak_v in_o other_o phrase_n as_o honourable_o of_o christ_n as_o his_o lordship_n for_o they_o say_v that_o christ_n be_v by_o no_o mean_n to_o be_v repute_v a_o mere_a man_n they_o give_v their_o reason_n for_o it_o and_o therefore_o call_v he_o a_o man_n true_o divine_a and_o for_o my_o part_n i_o think_v a_o man_n true_o divine_a must_v have_v a_o nature_n true_o divine_a and_o therefore_o the_o racovian_o who_o doctrine_n be_v teach_v by_o the_o bishop_n will_v have_v do_v better_a have_v they_o teach_v it_o in_o the_o term_n of_o art_n which_o the_o bishop_n use_v though_o perhaps_o he_o be_v not_o fond_a of_o the_o term_n which_o one_o may_v partly_o guess_v by_o his_o decline_a to_o consider_v all_o or_o any_o speculation_n concern_v the_o eternal_a generation_n whereas_o the_o unitarian_n full_o to_o demonstrate_v their_o orthodoxy_n allow_v the_o eternal_a generation_n of_o the_o logos_fw-la son_n or_o wisdom_n let_v i_o not_o forget_v that_o i_o observe_v the_o bishop_n do_v not_o so_o well_o agree_v in_o one_o small_a respect_n with_o the_o unitarian_n which_o respect_n be_v such_o that_o therein_o he_o be_v at_o some_o small_a variance_n with_o himself_o the_o thing_n be_v this_o he_o have_v affirm_v that_o god_n and_o man_n make_v one_o person_n as_o the_o soul_n and_o body_n make_v one_o man_n it_o be_v proper_a for_o he_o to_o take_v up_o with_o this_o expression_n in_o conformity_n to_o the_o athanasian_n creed_n but_o his_o philosophical_a reason_n look_v quite_o another_o way_n for_o p._n 102._o he_o have_v these_o word_n it_o have_v be_v think_v that_o the_o human_a nature_n in_o christ_n have_v no_o special_a subsistence_n though_o it_o be_v not_o easy_a to_o explain_v this_o notion_n since_o if_o subsistence_n belong_v to_o the_o human_a nature_n it_o may_v seem_v that_o it_o the_o human_a nature_n be_v not_o perfect_a if_o it_o have_v not_o a_o proper_a subsistence_n a_o hypostatical_a union_n be_v propose_v as_o a_o term_n fit_a to_o explain_v this_o by_o i._n e._n the_o human_a nature_n in_o christ_n be_v believe_v to_o subsist_v by_o the_o subsistence_n of_o the_o word_n but_o it_o be_v not_o easy_a to_o make_v this_o the_o more_o intelligible_a by_o offer_v a_o notion_n full_a as_o unintelligible_a as_o itself_o to_o explain_v it_o by_o now_o though_o the_o bishop_n be_v a_o cautious_a man_n and_o will_v have_v a_o care_n of_o offend_v a_o brother_n as_o appear_v by_o those_o soft_a way_n of_o express_v his_o dislike_n of_o a_o opinion_n it_o have_v be_v think_v it_o be_v not_o easy_a it_o may_v seem_v yet_o here_o he_o sufficient_o discover_v to_o any_o consider_a reader_n that_o he_o believe_v the_o human_a nature_n of_o christ_n have_v a_o proper_a subsistence_n and_o if_o it_o have_v a_o proper_a subsistence_n then_o say_v i_o by_o itself_o it_o constitute_v christ_n a_o person_n and_o then_o god_n and_o man_n do_v not_o make_v one_o person_n as_o the_o soul_n and_o body_n make_v a_o man_n for_o the_o bishop_n explain_v subsistence_n thus_o we_o may_v conceive_v the_o subsistence_n of_o a_o intelligent_a be_v 107._o p._n 107._o to_o be_v its_o act_n entire_o in_o itself_o or_o upon_o

it_o may_v seem_v strange_a though_o that_o the_o bishop_n shall_v intimate_v that_o the_o human_a nature_n of_o christ_n have_v a_o proper_a subsistence_n a_o subsistence_n of_o its_o own_o and_o
