i_o will_v be_v so_o liberal_a as_o to_o grant_v to_o our_o author_n both_o these_o answer_n but_o i_o must_v insist_v upon_o it_o that_o they_o be_v no_o answer_n to_o the_o objection_n propose_v for_o god_n do_v not_o pardon_v his_o debt_n or_o offence_n because_o he_o find_v out_o a_o three_o person_n that_o will_v pay_v or_o suffer_v for_o the_o debtor_n or_o offender_n these_o two_o differ_v just_a as_o much_o as_o payment_n and_o forgiveness_n that_o be_v to_o say_v they_o be_v contrary_n but_o our_o author_n add_v the_o suffering_n of_o the_o lord_n christ_n be_v a_o refusable_a payment_n it_o be_v well_o but_o he_o say_v they_o be_v a_o equivalent_a payment_n how_o then_o can_v god_n be_v say_v to_o pardon_v we_o do_v he_o forgive_v who_o receive_v a_o equivalent_a to_o the_o debt_n due_a to_o he_o yes_o he_o say_v it_o be_v forgiveness_n with_o respect_n to_o we_o for_o we_o have_v pay_v nothing_o whatever_o our_o friend_n who_o god_n find_v out_o have_v pay_v for_o we_o but_o why_o do_v he_o not_o consider_v that_o the_o scripture_n not_o only_o say_v that_o sinner_n be_v pardon_v but_o they_o say_v god_n have_v pardon_v they_o you_o may_v call_v their_o discharge_n a_o pardon_n with_o respect_n to_o they_o but_o you_o can_v never_o say_v god_n have_v pardon_v they_o if_o they_o be_v only_o discharge_v upon_o a_o equivalent_a give_v for_o they_o or_o pay_v by_o another_o on_o their_o behalf_n to_o say_v god_n have_v pardon_v we_o suppose_v that_o he_o have_v receive_v no_o equivalent_a on_o our_o behalf_n for_o if_o he_o have_v however_o we_o may_v be_v say_v to_o be_v pardon_v yet_o it_o can_v not_o be_v say_v that_o god_n pardon_v we_o for_o the_o pardon_n must_v in_o that_o case_n be_v impute_v to_o the_o person_n or_o person_n who_o make_v the_o satisfaction_n or_o the_o equivalent_a not_o to_o god_n to_o avoid_v this_o our_o opposer_n say_v he_o that_o make_v the_o satisfaction_n be_v god_n the_o son_n of_o god_n who_o be_v also_o himself_o true_a god_n that_o very_o true_a god_n to_o who_o the_o satisfaction_n be_v make_v he_o make_v for_o we_o the_o satisfaction_n but_o this_o be_v jargon_n and_o we_o expect_v reason_n from_o they_o the_o one_o true_a god_n they_o say_v make_v for_o we_o the_o satisfaction_n to_o the_o one_o true_a god_n we_o deny_v that_o it_o be_v sense_n or_o intelligible_a there_o be_v but_o one_o true_a god_n and_o he_o be_v to_o receive_v the_o satisfaction_n for_o our_o sin_n against_o his_o infinite_a majesty_n and_o not_o to_o give_v satisfaction_n how_o then_o can_v they_o say_v but_o that_o they_o be_v accustom_v to_o say_v any_o thing_n the_o one_o true_a god_n make_v for_o we_o the_o satisfaction_n and_o if_o it_o can_v be_v true_a what_o they_o say_v that_o god_n himself_o pay_v for_o we_o the_o equivalent_a or_o satisfaction_n this_o be_v indeed_o no_o other_o but_o forgive_a we_o without_o a_o satisfaction_n which_o be_v the_o very_a thing_n they_o deny_v for_o if_o i_o pay_v to_o myself_o the_o debt_n of_o my_o debtor_n or_o undergo_v the_o punishment_n of_o my_o offender_n this_o be_v but_o a_o mock-satisfaction_n and_o i_o indeed_o forgive_v he_o without_o a_o satisfaction_n which_o be_v so_o plain_a that_o i_o wonder_v that_o so_o many_o learned_a person_n as_o have_v write_v on_o the_o one_o and_o the_o other_o side_n of_o this_o question_n have_v not_o observe_v it_o another_o objection_n of_o the_o socinian_o against_o the_o pretend_v satisfaction_n be_v god_n can_v not_o just_o or_o wise_o substitute_v a_o innocent_a

of_o justice_n not_o to_o misplace_v punishment_n our_o author_n answer_n be_v the_o innocent_a beast_n be_v sacrifice_v for_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o owner_n and_o the_o lord_n christ_n free_o offer_v himself_o to_o suffer_v for_o we_o though_o we_o be_v worthless_a and_o wicked_a his_o instance_n of_o beast_n offer_v in_o sacrifice_n on_o occasion_n of_o the_o sin_n of_o their_o owner_n be_v not_o

it_o be_v no_o unjustice_n when_o the_o life_n of_o the_o beast_n be_v give_v for_o the_o offence_n of_o the_o master_n or_o owner_n the_o owner_n may_v kill_v his_o beast_n for_o food_n therefore_o much_o more_o may_v he_o offer_v he_o to_o god_n in_o lieu_n and_o exchange_n of_o his_o own_o life_n forfeit_v to_o god_n by_o sin_n and_o in_o this_o case_n the_o worthless_a be_v offer_v to_o the_o

in_o the_o lord_n christ_n and_o we_o especial_o in_o the_o hypothesis_n of_o our_o opposer_n for_o he_o be_v a_o person_n according_a to_o they_o of_o infinite_a dignity_n and_o merit_n and_o we_o have_v no_o right_n in_o he_o or_o dominion_n over_o he_o as_o the_o sacrificer_n have_v over_o his_o beast_n that_o we_o shall_v offer_v his_o life_n or_o his_o suffering_n to_o god_n instead_o of_o

divine_a person_n in_o one_o another_o the_o next_o yet_o more_o direct_o and_o even_o express_o contradict_v the_o socinian_o by_o say_v the_o word_n be_v god_n they_o say_v he_o be_v a_o man_n and_o
