answer_n christ_n be_v not_o the_o lawgiver_n as_o concern_v the_o chief_a and_o principal_a function_n and_o office_n of_o the_o mediator_n for_o that_o be_v to_o bring_v forth_o the_o gospel_n out_o

that_o they_o be_v convert_v may_v be_v instruct_v what_o thankfulness_n god_n require_v of_o they_o for_o the_o benefit_n of_o their_o redemption_n christ_n then_o be_v the_o lawgiver_n as_o he_o be_v god_n and_o author_n of_o the_o law_n together_o with_o the_o father_n but_o as_o he_o be_v mediator_n he_o be_v not_o indeed_o the_o lawgiver_n because_o he_o publish_v not_o the_o law_n as_o it_o be_v say_v 1._o john_n 2._o but_o yet_o notwithstanding_o he_o be_v the_o purger_n repairer_n and_o restorer_n of_o the_o law_n from_o corruption_n and_o this_o not_o principal_o but_o that_o

he_o break_v the_o law_n second_o he_o that_o have_v satisfy_v not_o by_o his_o own_o punishment_n but_o by_o another_o and_o be_v receive_v into_o favour_n without_o his_o own_o satisfaction_n aught_o to_o obey_v the_o law_n though_o not_o as_o thereby_o to_o satisfy_v for_o sin_n yet_o to_o show_v his_o thankfulness_n that_o be_v he_o ought_v to_o order_n and_o direct_v his_o life_n according_a to_o his_o will_n by_o who_o he_o be_v redeem_v and_o of_o who_o he_o be_v receive_v into_o favour_n for_o no_o man_n be_v therefore_o punish_v for_o sin_n commit_v or_o deliver_v from_o
