opinion_n from_o foreign_a writer_n 32._o since_o they_o here_o set_v up_o for_o themselves_o and_o be_v so_o able_a to_o express_v their_o own_o sense_n and_o because_o they_o refer_v i_o to_o their_o own_o late_a print_n in_o the_o english_a tongue_n therefore_o i_o shall_v apply_v myself_o to_o they_o to_o find_v out_o what_o their_o true_a sense_n in_o this_o matter_n be_v and_o they_o seem_v free_o to_o tell_v we_o what_o they_o deny_v and_o what_o they_o affirm_v 12._o 1._o they_o deny_v that_o this_o sacrifice_n be_v by_o way_n of_o true_a and_o proper_a satisfaction_n or_o full_a and_o adequate_a payment_n to_o the_o justice_n of_o god_n 2._o they_o affirm_v that_o this_o sacrifice_n be_v only_o a_o oblation_n or_o application_n to_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n in_o another_o place_n they_o complain_v 58._o that_o very_o few_o of_o their_o adversary_n have_v real_o understand_v what_o they_o affirm_v or_o deny_v concern_v the_o cause_n or_o effect_n of_o our_o saviour_n death_n and_o they_o say_v the_o question_n be_v only_o this_o whether_o the_o lord_n christ_n offer_v himself_o as_o such_o a_o sacrifice_n oblation_n or_o price_n as_o may_v be_v make_v to_o the_o justice_n of_o god_n by_o way_n of_o equivalent_a for_o what_o we_o shall_v have_v suffer_v or_o be_v a_o oblation_n or_o satisfaction_n as_o all_o former_a sacrifice_n under_o the_o law_n be_v to_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n by_o way_n of_o humble_a suit_n and_o deprecation_n so_o that_o they_o will_v no_o long_o dispute_v with_o we_o about_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n be_v a_o expiatory_a sacrifice_n for_o the_o sin_n of_o mankind_n and_o so_o this_o point_n seem_v whole_o gain_v but_o we_o must_v have_v a_o care_n of_o be_v deceive_v by_o they_o for_o the_o scripture_n be_v too_o clear_a and_o full_a to_o be_v bear_v down_o by_o the_o authority_n or_o evasion_n of_o socinus_n and_o therefore_o they_o find_v it_o necessary_a to_o comply_v in_o term_n as_o long_o as_o they_o can_v keep_v to_o their_o own_o notion_n under_o they_o but_o what_o be_v the_o true_a mean_v of_o a_o expiatory_a sacrifice_n to_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n if_o it_o be_v no_o more_o but_o as_o a_o condition_n intervening_a socinus_n will_v not_o allow_v that_o to_o make_v a_o expiatory_a sacrifice_n and_o therein_o he_o be_v in_o the_o right_n the_o main_a point_n then_o between_o we_o seem_v to_o be_v whether_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n have_v respect_n to_o the_o justice_n or_o to_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n 53._o and_o here_o we_o must_v consider_v what_o they_o understand_v by_o the_o justice_n of_o god_n 1._o they_o say_v that_o almighty_a god_n as_o king_n and_o proprietor_n of_o all_o person_n and_o thing_n can_v forgive_v any_o offence_n or_o all_o offence_n even_o without_o repentance_n or_o amendment_n nor_o be_v it_o contrary_a to_o his_o justice_n so_o to_o do_v 2._o that_o it_o be_v not_o the_o justice_n of_o god_n by_o which_o he_o be_v prompt_v to_o punish_v sinner_n but_o his_o holiness_n and_o wisdom_n and_o that_o justice_n have_v no_o other_o share_n or_o interest_n in_o punishment_n but_o only_o to_o see_v that_o punishment_n be_v not_o misplace_v and_o that_o it_o do_v not_o exceed_v the_o offence_n 3._o that_o god_n can_v not_o just_o or_o wise_o substitute_v a_o innocent_a and_o well_o deserve_a person_n to_o undergo_v punishment_n 54._o proper_o so_o call_v in_o the_o place_n of_o the_o unrighteous_a and_o worthless_a because_o it_o be_v of_o the_o nature_n of_o justice_n not_o to_o misplace_v punishment_n 4._o that_o christ_n can_v not_o offer_v himself_o free_o for_o we_o to_o undergo_v the_o punishment_n due_a to_o we_o nor_o can_v god_n accept_v of_o it_o or_o allow_v it_o because_o it_o be_v of_o the_o very_a essence_n of_o justice_n not_o to_o misplace_v punishment_n and_o not_o to_o exceed_v the_o desert_n of_o the_o offence_n 55._o which_o they_o say_v be_v the_o two_o thing_n that_o constitute_v the_o nature_n of_o punitive_a justice_n 18._o in_o another_o place_n they_o say_v that_o christ_n make_v himself_o a_o oblation_n a_o expiatory_a sacrifice_n on_o the_o altar_n of_o the_o cross_n for_o our_o sin_n but_o his_o suffering_n be_v not_o as_o trinitarian_n teach_v design_v as_o a_o punishment_n lay_v on_o he_o in_o our_o stead_n because_o punishment_n be_v the_o evil_a of_o suffer_v inflict_v for_o the_o evil_a of_o do_v but_o christ_n have_v do_v no_o sin_n what_o he_o undergo_v be_v only_a labour_n and_o suffering_n and_o no_o punishment_n and_o again_o they_o say_v the_o oblation_n be_v not_o make_v to_o the_o justice_n but_o to_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n but_o the_o suffering_n of_o christ_n be_v gracious_o accept_v by_o god_n 19_o as_o a_o intercession_n on_o our_o behalf_n god_n be_v satisfy_v with_o they_o and_o this_o they_o say_v be_v the_o proper_a notion_n of_o satisfaction_n 32._o the_o same_o they_o repeat_v in_o other_o place_n and_o if_o no_o more_o be_v to_o be_v regard_v but_o mere_a word_n this_o controversy_n be_v at_o a_o end_n for_o they_o own_o christ_n death_n to_o be_v a_o expiatory_a sacrifice_n for_o the_o sin_n of_o mankind_n and_o that_o he_o make_v by_o his_o suffering_n satisfaction_n to_o god_n but_o i_o shall_v now_o make_v it_o appear_v that_o whatever_o they_o pretend_v they_o do_v real_o own_v no_o such_o thing_n as_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n be_v a_o expiatory_a sacrifice_n for_o the_o sin_n of_o mankind_n however_o we_o have_v this_o advantage_n by_o these_o concession_n that_o the_o scripture_n be_v yield_v to_o be_v on_o our_o side_n and_o that_o they_o be_v force_v to_o speak_v as_o we_o do_v whatsoever_o their_o meaning_n be_v but_o that_o they_o do_v not_o own_o any_o proper_a expiatory_a sacrifice_n in_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n will_v best_o appear_v by_o a_o account_n of_o the_o rise_n and_o progress_n of_o this_o controversy_n and_o of_o the_o true_a state_n of_o it_o the_o first_o rise_v of_o it_o be_v from_o the_o multitude_n of_o place_n of_o scripture_n which_o attribute_v all_o the_o proper_a effect_n of_o a_o expiatory_a sacrifice_n to_o the_o death_n of_o christ._n and_o that_o by_o those_o who_o best_o understand_v for_o what_o end_v it_o be_v that_o christ_n suffer_v and_o have_v no_o intention_n to_o deceive_v or_o to_o amuse_v mankind_n i_o mean_v our_o saviour_n and_o his_o apostle_n our_o bless_a saviour_n himself_o say_v that_o the_o son_n of_o man_n come_v to_o give_v his_o life_n a_o ransom_n for_o many_o 10.45_o a_o ransom_n as_o to_o what_o sure_o not_o as_o to_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n but_o christ_n death_n be_v a_o ransom_n as_o it_o be_v a_o expiatory_a sacrifice_n and_o if_o the_o one_o respect_n the_o mercy_n of_o god_n the_o other_o must_v do_v so_o too_o they_o may_v say_v the_o ransom_n be_v from_o the_o punishment_n of_o sin_n but_o this_o ransom_n may_v be_v make_v as_o to_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n which_o deliver_v from_o it_o but_o a_o ransom_n be_v something_o which_o be_v pay_v or_o lay_v down_o as_o a_o price_n of_o redemption_n and_o be_v very_o well_o understand_v in_o that_o sense_n among_o the_o jew_n who_o all_o know_v that_o by_o their_o law_n the_o blood_n of_o the_o sacrifice_n be_v appoint_v to_o be_v a_o ransom_n for_o their_o soul_n 17.11_o for_o it_o be_v the_o blood_n that_o make_v a_o atonement_n for_o the_o soul_n to_o which_o the_o apostle_n refer_v 9.22_o when_o he_o say_v that_o without_o shed_v of_o blood_n there_o be_v no_o remission_n so_o that_o hereby_o the_o jew_n understand_v these_o

and_o perfect_v in_o heaven_n this_o do_v evident_o prove_v that_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n be_v shed_v for_o the_o expiation_n of_o sin_n and_o that_o as_o the_o highpriest_n go_v into_o the_o holy_a of_o holies_n with_o the_o blood_n of_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o atonement_n there_o to_o make_v intercession_n so_o christ_n as_o our_o highpriest_n with_o his_o blood_n shed_v enter_v in_o

therefore_o neither_o do_v christ_n sacrifice_n so_o that_o at_o last_o they_o confess_v that_o christ_n death_n be_v no_o proper_a expiatory_a sacrifice_n for_o whatsoever_o be_v so_o must_v make_v satisfaction_n to_o the_o law_n and_o justice_n of_o god_n but_o say_v they_o the_o sacrifice_n be_v not_o offer_v for_o payment_n but_o for_o remission_n i_o say_v they_o be_v a_o payment_n in_o order_n to_o remission_n i_o mean_v such_o a_o payment_n as_o the_o law_n appoint_v and_o god_n accept_v and_o that_o be_v true_a and_o proper_a satisfaction_n but_o we_o must_v distinguish_v a_o

these_o of_o which_o i_o have_v treat_v at_o large_a in_o the_o follow_a discourse_n thus_o far_o it_o appear_v that_o they_o have_v by_o no_o mean_n allow_v the_o death_n and_o suffering_n of_o
