god_n love_n not_o to_o satisfy_v god_n justice_n but_o christ_n death_n be_v not_o in_o vain_a he_o die_v not_o only_o to_o apply_v but_o to_o purchase_v forgiveness_n not_o to_o manifest_a god_n love_v only_o but_o to_o satisfy_v god_n justice_n therefore_o the_o first_o consequence_n be_v evident_a because_o his_o death_n be_v in_o vain_a as_o to_o the_o act_n of_o justification_n for_o as_o in_o the_o former_a argument_n christ_n death_n be_v not_o the_o cause_n of_o that_o act_n and_o mr._n eyre_n acknowledge_v no_o other_o and_o yet_o he_o will_v have_v christ_n death_n to_o be_v the_o

transient_a act_n of_o god_n will_v which_o be_v proper_o our_o justification_n which_o act_n he_o will_v not_o acknowledge_v the_o second_o inference_n be_v evident_a for_o if_o we_o be_v justify_v from_o eternity_n than_o we_o be_v forgive_v from_o eternity_n and_o then_o either_o christ_n do_v but_o apply_v it_o at_o the_o most_o for_o he_o do_v not_o purchase_v it_o or_o only_o he_o do_v but_o manifest_a god_n love_n to_o the_o world_n but_o the_o scripture_n be_v evident_a that_o he_o have_v purchase_v forgiveness_n in_o who_o we_o have_v redemption_n through_o his_o blood_n the_o forgiveness_n of_o our_o sin_n and_o he_o die_v to_o satisfy_v god_n justice_n hence_o he_o be_v a_o propitiation_n for_o our_o sin_n 7._o this_o overthrow_v the_o merit_n of_o christ_n death_n because_o if_o we_o be_v justify_v from_o eternity_n than_o justification_n be_v a_o due_a debt_n to_o the_o elect_n and_o then_o what_o place_n be_v leave_v for_o christ_n merit_n for_o it_o must_v be_v bonum_fw-la indebitum_fw-la that_o that_o be_v proper_o merit_v be_v not_o due_a before_o but_o if_o we_o be_v justify_v than_o it_o be_v due_a and_o so_o no_o room_n be_v leave_v for_o christ_n merit_n 8._o that_o which_o will_v not_o secure_v the_o sinner_n from_o wrath_n be_v not_o justification_n but_o this_o decree_n will_v not_o secure_v the_o sinner_n from_o wrath_n the_o major_n be_v evident_a for_o how_o can_v he_o be_v justify_v that_o be_v not_o secure_v from_o condemnation_n the_o minor_a i_o prove_v because_o notwithstanding_o god_n decree_n christ_n must_v die_v there_o be_v a_o necessity_n of_o christ_n death_n suppose_v god_n decree_v not_o to_o pardon_v sin_n without_o a_o satisfaction_n i_o grant_v that_o god_n decree_n do_v eventua_o secure_v the_o elect_n but_o not_o actual_o it_o be_v true_a because_o a_o man_n be_v elect_a he_o shall_v not_o as_o to_o the_o event_n be_v damn_v but_o god_n will_v give_v faith_n to_o apply_v christ_n righteousness_n but_o this_o be_v not_o a_o actual_a acquittance_n or_o discharge_v from_o sin_n when_o the_o apostle_n say_v who_o shall_v lay_v any_o thing_n to_o the_o charge_n of_o god_n elect_n that_o be_v to_o such_o as_o be_v declare_v or_o evidence_v to_o be_v elect_a by_o believe_v or_o effectual_a vocation_n and_o that_o the_o apostle_n must_v mean_v so_o be_v evident_a the_o apostle_n be_v comfort_v in_o that_o chapter_n believer_n that_o be_v in_o christ_n against_o condemnation_n now_o this_o he_o prove_v because_o they_o be_v elect_a the_o elect_n shall_v not_o be_v condemn_v but_o you_o be_v elect_a now_o how_o shall_v this_o be_v know_v by_o faith_n and_o our_o effectual_a vocation_n hence_o in_o the_o 30._o ver_fw-la he_o speak_v of_o effectual_a vocation_n as_o that_o that_o precede_v and_o be_v a_o sign_n of_o election_n and_o hence_o we_o be_v command_v to_o make_v our_o call_v and_o election_n sure_a why_o be_v call_v put_v before_o election_n because_o our_o election_n be_v unknown_a to_o any_o till_o it_o be_v evidence_v by_o their_o effectual_a call_v now_o sure_o the_o apostle_n do_v not_o bare_o propound_v election_n as_o a_o sign_n of_o justification_n without_o some_o mean_n to_o know_v it_o for_o how_o can_v a_o thing_n so_o secret_a be_v a_o comfort_n till_o it_o be_v manifest_v and_o how_o shall_v it_o be_v manifest_v but_o by_o faith_n and_o sanctification_n therefore_o sure_o they_o be_v the_o subject_n of_o his_o discourse_n must_v be_v understand_v by_o the_o elect_n now_o if_o you_o take_v the_o proposition_n as_o a_o universal_a negative_a or_o universal_a affirmative_a no_o elect_a believer_n can_v be_v just_o charge_v with_o sin_n or_o all_o elect_a believer_n be_v free_v from_o the_o charge_n of_o sin_n both_o be_v true_a but_o to_o take_v it_o for_o the_o elect_a antecedent_o to_o faith_n the_o proposition_n be_v not_o true_a for_o the_o word_n may_v and_o do_v charge_v he_o with_o sin_n for_o it_o threaten_v damnation_n to_o he_o but_o it_o threaten_v damnation_n for_o nothing_o but_o sin_n and_o god_n do_v look_v upon_o he_o as_o a_o sinner_n and_o he_o ought_v to_o charge_v himself_o with_o sin_n therefore_o though_o all_o elect_a believer_n shall_v be_v free_v from_o sin_n yet_o all_o the_o elect_n be_v not_o formal_o discharge_v from_o sin_n as_o for_o your_o weak_a and_o feeble_a endeavour_n to_o cast_v a_o odium_n of_o simplicity_n upon_o so_o learned_a a_o man_n as_o master_n burges_n who_o be_v well_o know_v to_o be_v a_o aristotle_n to_o mr._n eyre_n that_o he_o shall_v
