under_o the_o law_n the_o efficacy_n of_o the_o high-priest_n entrance_n into_o the_o holy_a of_o holies_n do_v depend_v upon_o the_o blood_n which_o he_o carry_v in_o thither_o which_o be_v the_o

and_o therefore_o there_o can_v be_v no_o reason_n to_o suppose_v that_o the_o oblation_n of_o christ_n must_v be_v consequent_a to_o his_o death_n for_o that_o destroy_v the_o correspondency_n

controversy_n with_o all_o clearness_n and_o brevity_n and_o the_o substance_n of_o it_o will_v be_v reduce_v to_o these_o two_o debate_n 1._o whether_o the_o suffering_n of_o christ_n in_o general_n

sacrifice_n for_o sin_n or_o only_o a_o antecedent_n condition_n to_o c_o his_o exercise_n of_o the_o office_n of_o priesthood_n in_o heaven_n 1._o whether_o the_o suffering_n of_o christ_n in_o

be_v deny_v by_o our_o adversary_n for_o the_o inflict_a those_o suffering_n upon_o christ_n must_v either_o proceed_v from_o a_o antecedent_n meritorious_a cause_n or_o not_o if_o they_o do_v they_o be_v then_o punishment_n if_o not_o they_o be_v mere_a exercise_n of_o power_n and_o dominion_n whatever_o end_n they_o be_v intend_v for_o and_o whatever_o recompense_n be_v make_v for_o they_o so_o crellius_n assert_n that_o god_n as_o absolute_a 142._o d_o lord_n of_o all_o have_v a_o right_a of_o absolute_a dominion_n upon_o the_o life_n and_o body_n of_o christ_n and_o therefore_o may_v just_o deliver_v he_o up_o to_o death_n and_o give_v his_o body_n to_o the_o cross_n and_o although_o christ_n by_o the_o ordinary_a force_n of_o the_o law_n of_o moses_n have_v a_o right_a to_o escape_v so_o painful_a and_o accurse_a death_n yet_o god_n by_o the_o right_n of_o dominion_n have_v the_o power_n of_o disposal_n of_o he_o because_o he_o intend_v to_o compensate_a his_o torment_n with_o a_o reward_n infinite_o great_a than_o they_o be_v but_o because_o he_o say_v for_o great_a end_v the_o consent_n of_o christ_n be_v necessary_a therefore_o god_n do_v not_o use_v his_o

this_o sense_n he_o do_v act_n as_o a_o righteous_a governor_n and_o indulgent_a father_n who_o encourage_v his_o son_n to_o undergo_v hard_o but_o great_a thing_n in_o which_o we_o see_v that_o he_o

in_o this_o for_o what_o promise_v relate_v to_o a_o people_n as_o such_o must_v consider_v they_o as_o a_o people_n and_o in_o that_o capacity_n they_o must_v be_v the_o blessing_n of_o a_o society_n
