his_o mercy_n 2_o tim._n 4.8_o it_o be_v a_o crown_n of_o righteousness_n give_v by_o the_o lord_n the_o righteous_a judge_n and_o as_o in_o our_o be_v glorify_v the_o righteousness_n of_o god_n be_v exert_v and_o shine_v forth_o so_o it_o be_v likewise_o in_o our_o be_v justify_v 1_o joh._n 1.9_o rom._n 3.25_o 26._o and_o indeed_o throughout_o the_o whole_a of_o our_o salvation_n he_o be_v a_o just_a god_n and_o a_o saviour_n isa_n 45.21_o hence_o appear_v the_o necessity_n of_o this_o suretiship-righteousness_n of_o christ_n it_o must_v be_v provide_v and_o bring_v in_o that_o god_n may_v be_v just_o in_o show_v mercy_n and_o appear_v righteous_a in_o extend_v grace_n unto_o we_o and_o save_v we_o with_o that_o great_a salvation_n to_o which_o he_o have_v appoint_v we_o for_o it_o be_v the_o unchangeable_a constitution_n of_o the_o unchangeable_a god_n to_o glorify_v the_o one_o attribute_n as_o well_o as_o the_o other_o justice_z as_o well_o as_o grace_n in_o our_o salvation_n of_o this_o suretiship-righteousness_n of_o christ_n there_o be_v two_o part_n without_o either_o of_o which_o it_o will_v not_o be_v complete_a and_o perfect_a and_o will_v not_o serve_v our_o turn_n and_o the_o reason_n thereof_o be_v because_o christ_n be_v our_o surety_n be_v thereby_o under_o a_o obligation_n to_o pay_v our_o debt_n and_o we_o owe_v a_o double_a debt_n unto_o the_o moral_a law_n viz._n a_o debt_n of_o satisfaction_n by_o suffer_v the_o penalty_n as_o transgress_v guilty_a creature_n and_o a_o debt_n of_o service_n and_o obedience_n to_o the_o precept_n as_o rational_a creature_n constitute_v in_o the_o way_n to_o our_o everlasting_a condition_n hence_o there_o be_v two_o part_n of_o christ_n suretiship-righteousness_n this_o be_v that_o which_o the_o apostle_n say_v and_o on_o which_o he_o put_v so_o much_o remark_n and_o emphasis_n 1_o john_n 5.6_o this_o be_v he_o who_o come_v by_o water_n and_o by_o blood_n jesus_n the_o christ_n not_o in_o water_n only_o but_o in_o water_n and_o in_o blood_n the_o language_n and_o phrase_n be_v levitical_a conceive_v the_o meaning_n of_o they_o thus_o the_o first_o adam_n come_v by_o water_n in_o a_o spotless_a cleanness_n and_o purity_n as_o to_o all_o that_o the_o precept_n require_v of_o he_o but_o jesus_n christ_n come_v not_o by_o water_n only_o not_o only_o in_o such_o purity_n and_o cleanness_n as_o full_o answer_v all_o the_o demand_n of_o the_o precept_n of_o the_o law_n but_o he_o come_v by_o blood_n also_o which_o neither_o adam_n nor_o angel_n do_v jesus_n christ_n the_o son_n of_o god_n come_v in_o a_o way_n of_o satisfactory_a suffering_n to_o expiate_v and_o make_v atonement_n for_o the_o sin_n against_o the_o precept_n which_o we_o be_v guilty_a of_o this_o he_o do_v by_o his_o

of_o this_o suffer_v of_o christ_n under_o the_o curse_n of_o the_o law_n be_v because_o our_o gild_n our_o sin_n be_v upon_o he_o and_o thence_o he_o suffer_v in_o our_o stead_n for_o they_o isa_n 53.5_o 6._o god_n the_o father_n with_o his_o own_o consent_n put_v upon_o he_o the_o garment_n of_o we_o sinner_n and_o then_o awake_v his_o sword_n against_o he_o even_o the_o sword_n of_o his_o revenge_a justice_n and_o run_v he_o through_o and_o pour_v out_o his_o blood_n as_o if_o he_o have_v be_v a_o sinner_n zach._n 13.7_o the_o end_n of_o it_o with_o reference_n to_o god_n be_v the_o
