his_o natural_a death_n christ_n have_v make_v full_a and_o formal_a satisfaction_n by_o suffer_v the_o essential_a torment_n of_o hell_n before_o his_o death_n be_v complete_v as_o mr._n norton_n

in_o page_n 32._o he_o do_v contradict_v this_o for_o there_o he_o say_v that_o christ_n suffer_v the_o essential_a penal_a wrath_n of_o god_n which_o say_v he_o do_v answer_v the_o suffering_n of_o the_o second_o death_n before_o he_o suffer_v his_o natural_a death_n and_o say_v he_o in_o page_n 150._o christ_n offer_v himself_o before_o his_o humane_a nature_n be_v dissolve_v by_o death_n in_o both_o these_o place_n you_o see_v that_o he_o do_v hold_v that_o christ_n make_v full_a satisfaction_n before_o he_o suffer_v his_o natural_a death_n for_o so_o he_o do_v false_o call_v the_o death_n of_o christ_n and_o hence_o it_o follow_v that_o he_o do_v most_o dangerous_o affirm_v that_o his_o bodily_a death_n in_o the_o formality_n of_o it_o be_v altogether_o vain_a and_o needless_a as_o to_o the_o point_n of_o satisfaction_n as_o i_o have_v once_o before_o note_v it_o in_o chap._n 4._o page_n 79._o and_o say_v another_o learned_a divine_a this_o reason_n draw_v from_o the_o final_a cause_n of_o christ_n suffering_n be_v most_o derogatory_n to_o the_o infinite_a worth_n of_o christ_n bloody_a sacrifice_n on_o the_o other_o hand_n when_o he_o make_v he_o to_o die_v formal_o under_o the_o immediate_a vindictive_a wrath_n of_o god_n he_o make_v the_o father_n to_o be_v the_o priest_n in_o his_o death_n and_o sacrifice_n which_o be_v quite_o contrary_a to_o his_o own_o establish_a order_n for_o he_o have_v establish_v christ_n to_o be_v the_o only_a priest_n in_o the_o formality_n of_o his_o own_o death_n and_o sacrifice_n by_o his_o oath_n which_o be_v a_o
