christ_n take_v down_o the_o frame_n of_o this_o nature_n that_o he_o may_v make_v it_o a_o more_o excellent_a frame_n it_o be_v therefore_o say_v that_o a_o christian_n die_v rather_o in_o the_o

a_o little_a this_o justification_n we_o term_v a_o conveyance_n of_o the_o merit_n of_o christ_n by_o way_n of_o imputation_n but_o what_o be_v the_o meaning_n of_o this_o word_n by_o way_n of_o

and_o let_v your_o soul_n rest_n upon_o he_o with_o all_o your_o strength_n and_o unburthen_v thyself_o of_o all_o thy_o sin_n and_o the_o guilt_n of_o they_o and_o put_v they_o upon_o the_o lord_n

say_v christ_n take_v flesh_n on_o he_o and_o it_o be_v sinful_a flesh_n by_o similitude_n or_o imputation_n not_o actual_o by_o commission_n the_o nature_n of_o our_o saviour_n have_v no_o evil_a

that_o may_v be_v alter_v and_o change_v as_o the_o debt_n or_o punishment_n be_v full_o suffer_v or_o not_o suffer_v as_o for_o example_n the_o time_n of_o a_o man_n lie_v in_o prison_n be_v no_o

saviour_n may_v abate_v of_o the_o punishment_n by_o the_o same_o right_n the_o dignity_n of_o his_o person_n may_v as_o well_o take_v it_o quite_o away_o if_o one_o drop_n of_o the_o blood_n of_o

one_o it_o may_v free_v he_o from_o the_o other_o also_o but_o the_o law_n and_o justice_n of_o god_n require_v whatsoever_o christ_n do_v in_o his_o wisdom_n suffer_v and_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n be_v not_o superfluous_a and_o beside_o the_o dignity_n of_o the_o person_n be_v to_o far_o from_o free_v he_o from_o the_o punishment_n that_o it_o fit_v he_o to_o bear_v the_o punishment_n it_o exempt_v he_o not_o from_o the_o punishment_n but_o it_o furnish_v he_o with_o ability_n to_o bear_v it_o as_o he_o must_v be_v man_n that_o he_o may_v suffer_v finite_o so_o he_o must_v be_v

by_o the_o sin_n of_o adam_n that_o be_v a_o infinite_a punishment_n second_o the_o person_n must_v be_v such_o a_o one_o as_o may_v be_v regard_v therefore_o he_o must_v be_v such_o a_o person_n as_o must_v be_v able_a to_o bear_v the_o punishment_n and_o to_o satisfy_v infinite_o and_o to_o come_v forth_o from_o under_o it_o therefore_o the_o excellency_n of_o christ_n as_o he_o be_v god_n do_v

on_o this_o punishment_n both_o in_o body_n and_o soul_n so_o the_o infinite_a suffering_n of_o christ_n undergo_v they_o both_o therefore_o that_o which_o divine_a justice_n require_v and_o without_o

therefore_o christ_n do_v suffer_v both_o object_n to_o this_o argument_n the_o jesuit_n reply_n it_o need_v not_o say_v they_o that_o that_o curse_n which_o adam_n do_v deserve_v shall_v be_v

foolish_a nice_a and_o silly_a curiosity_n to_o inquire_v of_o god_n absolute_a power_n what_o he_o may_v have_v do_v and_o what_o he_o have_v power_n to_o do_v when_o we_o see_v what_o he_o have_v do_v for_o as_o he_o will_v save_v the_o humble_a merciful_o so_o he_o will_v preserve_v his_o justice_n in_o the_o salvation_n of_o man_n esay_n 53.10_o the_o will_n of_o the_o lord_n shall_v prosper_v in_o his_o hand_n and_o psalm_n 40.8_o i_o desire_v to_o do_v thy_o will_n oh_o my_o god_n it_o be_v the_o will_n of_o god_n that_o christ_n shall_v come_v and_o shall_v suffer_v for_o our_o sin_n he_o have_v reveal_v what_o his_o will_n be_v and_o it_o be_v folly_n to_o inquire_v what_o god_n may_v do_v when_o we_o see_v what_o he_o have_v do_v and_o beside_o this_o i_o take_v to_o be_v a_o everlasting_a truth_n that_o none_o of_o all_o the_o attribute_n of_o god_n can_v ever_o enterfeere_a or_o cross_a one_o another_o it_o can_v be_v for_o then_o god_n shall_v not_o procure_v nor_o maintain_v his_o own_o glory_n for_o when_o he_o shall_v procure_v the_o glory_n of_o his_o justice_n he_o shall_v wrong_v the_o glory_n of_o his_o mercy_n and_o when_o he_o shall_v procure_v the_o glory_n of_o his_o mercy_n he_o shall_v wrong_v the_o glory_n of_o his_o justice_n and_o the_o glory_n of_o his_o justice_n must_v be_v preserve_v as_o well_o as_o the_o glory_n of_o his_o mercy_n magnify_v the_o mercy_n of_o god_n can_v wrong_v justice_n nor_o the_o justice_n of_o god_n can_v overpower_v mercy_n therefore_o hence_o i_o infer_v thus_o much_o if_o there_o be_v no_o mean_n in_o the_o world_n whereby_o the_o justice_n of_o god_n which_o have_v receive_v wrong_n can_v be_v satisfy_v but_o only_o by_o the_o suffering_n of_o he_o who_o be_v god_n and_o man_n than_o it_o be_v against_o the_o will_n of_o god_n and_o against_o the_o will_n of_o christ_n which_o be_v both_o god_n and_o man_n and_o against_o their_o glory_n and_o dignity_n to_o devise_v another_o way_n or_o mean_n to_o pardon_v sin_n without_o the_o satisfaction_n of_o divine_a justice_n it_o be_v against_o his_o glory_n power_n and_o wisdom_n to_o wrong_v either_o justice_n or_o mercy_n for_o he_o shall_v either_o have_v wrong_v mercy_n in_o not_o pardon_v or_o else_o wrong_a justice_n in_o not_o punish_v of_o christ_n therefore_o if_o there_o shall_v be_v no_o way_n to_o do_v it_o but_o only_o by_o the_o death_n of_o he_o who_o be_v both_o god_n and_o man_n than_o there_o be_v no_o other_o way_n of_o redemption_n but_o this_o way_n for_o a_o infinite_a justice_n be_v wrong_v there_o be_v no_o way_n else_o to_o satisfy_v a_o infinite_a justice_n but_o by_o the_o suffering_n of_o he_o who_o be_v infinite_a and_o that_o be_v only_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n for_o there_o be_v no_o more_o infinite_n in_o the_o world_n i_o will_v wind_v it_o up_o thus_o that_o punishment_n which_o be_v include_v in_o the_o curse_n and_o which_o be_v deserve_v by_o the_o first_o adam_n that_o be_v suffer_v by_o christ_n the_o second_o adam_n but_o the_o punishment_n both_o of_o soul_n and_o body_n be_v the_o punishment_n include_v in_o the_o curse_n and_o deserve_v by_o the_o sin_n of_o adam_n therefore_o it_o be_v bear_v by_o the_o second_o adam_n as_o certain_o as_o it_o be_v deserve_v by_o the_o first_o adam_n reason_n 3_o the_o three_o reason_n be_v take_v from_o the_o office_n of_o

and_o therefore_o he_o must_v satisfy_v for_o thou_o if_o the_o lord_n christ_n be_v our_o surety_n and_o take_v all_o our_o sin_n upon_o he_o by_o imputation_n and_o the_o debt_n be_v make_v he_o
