propitiation_n for_o sin_n for_o it_o be_v not_o possible_a that_o the_o blood_n of_o bull_n and_o goat_n
shall_v take_v away_o sin_n as_o the_o apostle_n argue_v heb._n 10.4_o wherefore_o the_o law_n as_o he_o say_v there_o can_v not_o by_o those_o sacrifice_n which_o be_v fain_o to_o be_v continual_o repeat_v make_v the_o comer_n thereunto_o perfect_a for_o indeed_o what_o proportion_n be_v there_o betwixt_o those_o mean_a oblation_n and_o the_o ransom_n and_o price_n of_o soul_n for_o the_o verdict_n of_o the_o law_n be_v that_o the_o soul_n that_o sin_n shall_v die_v what_o amend_v then_o can_v the_o death_n of_o a_o poor_a beast_n make_v for_o the_o transgression_n of_o its_o owner_n or_o how_o can_v those_o sorry_a acknowledgement_n reconcile_v divine_a justice_n which_o make_v the_o prophet_n micah_n cry_v out_o vi_o 7._o wherewith_o shall_v i_o come_v before_o the_o lord_n

of_o oil_n shall_v i_o give_v my_o first-born_a for_o my_o transgression_n the_o fruit_n of_o my_o body_n for_o the_o sin_n of_o my_o soul_n no_o this_o will_v have_v be_v no_o compensation_n it_o

that_o law_n no_o righteousness_n to_o be_v have_v by_o that_o dispensation_n yes_o but_o it_o be_v the_o righteousness_n of_o faith_n then_o too_o and_o those_o that_o be_v be_v justify_v by_o christ_n who_o be_v represent_v and_o typify_v in_o those_o legal_a rite_n for_o it_o be_v the_o immaculate_a lamb_n that_o virtuate_v all_o those_o oblation_n and_o the_o whole_a pedagogie_n of_o that_o law_n have_v its_o effect_n and_o consummation_n in_o he_o wherefore_o it_o be_v to_o be_v but_o of_o a_o temporary_a date_n and_o as_o it_o point_v to_o he_o so_o it_o be_v to_o end_v in_o

as_o to_o justification_n be_v partly_o from_o our_o weakness_n partly_o from_o its_o own_o 1._o we_o be_v natural_o unable_a to_o perform_v it_o in_o a_o exact_a obedience_n and_o though_o some_o heretic_n be_v bold_a to_o say_v that_o a_o man_n may_v by_o the_o strength_n of_o nature_n satisfy_v all_o the_o demand_n of_o that_o law_n we_o be_v by_o nature_n oblige_v to_o a_o doctrine_n which_o modest_a philosopher_n among_o heathen_n disclaim_v as_o appear_v by_o the_o body_n of_o death_n the_o bless_a apostle_n complain_v of_o and_o other_o passage_n in_o he_o take_v out_o of_o the_o write_n of_o plato_n yet_o suppose_v that_o there_o be_v no_o original_a corruption_n and_o that_o a_o man_n can_v lead_v a_o perfect_a life_n which_o be_v two_o thing_n that_o be_v not_o to_o

his_o merit_n or_o how_o can_v he_o extend_v that_o satisfaction_n to_o the_o benefit_n of_o other_o but_o alas_o scripture_n tell_v we_o no_o man_n have_v redeem_v his_o own_o soul_n much_o less_o be_v he_o in_o a_o capacity_n to_o do_v it_o for_o another_o but_o must_v let_v that_o alone_a for_o ever_o 2._o as_o we_o be_v unable_a to_o go_v through_o what_o the_o law_n require_v so_o the_o

with_o no_o strength_n for_o the_o performance_n of_o it_o i_o have_v not_o know_v sin_n say_v the_o apostle_n but_o for_o the_o law_n no_o nor_o practise_v it_o neither_o for_o which_o show_v the_o

that_o the_o law_n be_v in_o itself_o holy_a and_o just_a and_o perfect_a but_o sin_n find_v occasion_n from_o the_o law_n to_o be_v exceed_o sinful_a wherefore_o he_o affirm_v elsewhere_o that_o as_o
