to_o do_v it_o the_o soul_n plunge_v into_o hell_n five_o thousand_o year_n ago_o be_v as_o far_o from_o satisfy_v for_o her_o own_o improbity_n by_o what_o she_o have_v endure_v as_o if_o she_o be_v

for_o the_o superabounding_a wickedness_n of_o all_o the_o world_n that_o no_o creature_n be_v able_a to_o satisfy_v for_o our_o sin_n and_o so_o to_o save_v our_o soul_n be_v demonstrate_v thus_o this_o satisfaction_n they_o must_v effect_v either_o by_o duty_n or_o suffering_n but_o by_o neither_o of_o these_o way_n can_v they_o do_v it_o and_o therefore_o not_o at_o all_o one_a not_o by_o

of_o a_o debt_n which_o they_o owe_v themselves_o how_o can_v any_o of_o it_o be_v employ_v towards_o satisfaction_n for_o other_o yea_o god_n be_v not_o only_o the_o author_n of_o their_o being_n but_o moreover_o the_o donor_n of_o that_o very_a power_n whereby_o they_o yield_v obedience_n to_o himself_o and_o so_o they_o be_v the_o more_o oblige_v to_o he_o still_o but_o have_v the_o less_o

of_o punishment_n that_o be_v infinite_a

unless_o they_o be_v so_o in_o way_n of_o duration_n and_o shall_v any_o undertake_v to_o suffer_v punishment_n always_o to_o endure_v thereby_o to_o satisfy_v for_o the_o sin_n of_o man_n when_o will_v this_o satisfaction_n so_o make_v be_v finish_v how_o will_v our_o salvation_n ever_o be_v accomplish_v and_o because_o none_o can_v do_v this_o mighty_a work_n beside_o that_o adorable_a one_o in_o the_o text_n therefore_o he_o be_v please_v to_o set_v his_o hand_n to_o it_o christ_n jesus_n come_v into_o the_o world_n to_o save_v sinner_n but_o by_o what_o mean_n be_v it_o do_v why_o by_o

of_o his_o condition_n he_o be_v strict_o oblige_v to_o yield_v a_o adequate_a obedience_n thereunto_o on_o his_o own_o account_n nor_o do_v his_o active_a obedience_n seem_v to_o be_v a_o
