covenant_n of_o peace_n for_o we_o any_o other_o way_n than_o by_o the_o mediator_n jesus_n christ_n or_o through_o his_o death_n and_o atonement_n will_v as_o one_o observe_v reflect_v upon_o his_o love_n to_o his_o own_o dear_a son_n for_o why_o shall_v the_o son_n of_o god_n be_v make_v a_o curse_n for_o we_o or_o suffer_v the_o curse_a death_n of_o the_o cross_n to_o make_v our_o peace_n if_o peace_n can_v be_v make_v any_o other_o way_n without_o the_o least_o injury_n to_o the_o justice_n law_n or_o holiness_n of_o god_n etc._n etc._n no_o doubt_v my_o brethren_n but_o that_o the_o son_n of_o god_n have_v be_v spare_v if_o he_o have_v foresee_v that_o our_o peace_n may_v have_v be_v make_v some_o other_o way_n moreover_o will_v it_o not_o then_o follow_v that_o there_o may_v have_v be_v two_o way_n to_o obtain_v peace_n and_o reconciliation_n with_o god_n which_o be_v contrary_a to_o what_o our_o bless_a lord_n say_v 14.6_o no_o man_n come_v to_o the_o father_n but_o by_o i_o that_o be_v can_v come_v to_o have_v peace_n with_o god_n any_o other_o way_n but_o by_o i_o by_o my_o death_n or_o through_o my_o blood_n nor_o without_o believe_v or_o depend_v upon_o i_o for_o thus_o it_o be_v with_o the_o adult_n 5._o there_o be_v no_o other_o way_n of_o peace_n with_o god_n and_o therefore_o a_o necessity_n of_o christ_n mediation_n because_o without_o the_o shed_n of_o blood_n 9.22_o there_o be_v no_o remission_n no_o pardon_n and_o so_o no_o peace_n there_o can_v be_v no_o discharge_n from_o the_o guilt_n of_o sin_n no_o removal_n of_o the_o punishment_n of_o sin_n nor_o any_o purgation_n from_o the_o filth_n and_o pollution_n thereof_o without_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n be_v shed_v 6._o because_o it_o be_v positive_o say_v 4.12_o there_o be_v no_o other_o

our_o peace_n be_v make_v alone_o by_o he_o but_o this_o be_v so_o therefore_o there_o be_v a_o necessity_n of_o christ_n mediation_n in_o the_o next_o place_n we_o will_v inquire_v what_o be_v absolute_o necessary_a for_o the_o mediator_n of_o our_o peace_n to_o do_v or_o be_v requisite_n in_o he_o according_a to_o the_o article_n agree_v on_o in_o this_o covenant_n to_o make_v our_o peace_n with_o god_n mediator_n 1._o a_o mediator_n of_o this_o covenant_n of_o peace_n must_v understand_v the_o nature_n of_o that_o difference_n or_o breach_n which_o be_v betwixt_o god_n and_o man_n and_o what_o term_n the_o holy_a god_n who_o be_v the_o injure_v party_n stand_v upon_o and_o must_v have_v grant_v he_o if_o ever_o our_o peace_n be_v make_v and_o who_o but_o jesus_n christ_n who_o be_v god_n know_v this_o it_o be_v he_o only_o that_o well_o know_v what_o it_o be_v that_o can_v satisfy_v infinite_a justice_n have_v it_o be_v propose_v either_o to_o man_n or_o angel_n to_o resolve_v this_o question_n i._n e._n by_o what_o mean_n shall_v fall_v man_n come_v to_o be_v reconcile_v to_o god_n and_o god_n be_v right_v as_o touch_v all_o that_o wrong_a sin_n and_o sinner_n have_v do_v he_o what_o answer_v think_v you_o can_v they_o have_v make_v alas_o no_o mere_a create_v be_v can_v resolve_v such_o a_o question_n 2._o he_o that_o be_v the_o mediator_n of_o this_o covenant_n or_o that_o make_v our_o peace_n must_v not_o only_o know_v what_o will_v do_v it_o but_o also_o he_o must_v be_v able_a to_o answer_v all_o god_n demand_n both_o in_o respect_n of_o his_o law_n and_o justice_n and_o also_o be_v able_a to_o supply_v all_o our_o want_n and_o necessity_n he_o must_v seek_v the_o honour_n of_o the_o bless_a god_n and_o equal_o seek_v and_o be_v able_a to_o relieve_v poor_a sinner_n and_o none_o but_o jesus_n christ_n can_v do_v this_o who_o be_v a_o indifferent_a person_n or_o one_o equal_o relate_v unto_o both_o he_o be_v both_o god_n and_o man_n in_o one_o person_n 1._o he_o be_v god_n the_o one_o and_o the_o same_o eternal_a god_n he_o can_v not_o know_v what_o concern_v the_o glory_n of_o his_o father_n and_o therefore_o will_v not_o can_v not_o eclipse_v his_o glory_n 2._o and_o he_o be_v man_n he_o can_v not_o but_o sympathize_v with_o the_o poor_a creature_n and_o as_o be_v god_n he_o do_v not_o only_o know_v all_o our_o want_n but_o he_o be_v able_a also_o to_o supply_v they_o this_o bring_v i_o to_o the_o next_o particular_a iii_o covenant_n the_o mediator_n of_o this_o covenant_n must_v therefore_o be_v every_o way_n suitable_o qualify_v or_o capacitate_v for_o this_o work_n and_o mediatorship_n and_o to_o this_o end_n i_o say_v he_o must_v be_v god_n nay_o god_n in_o our_o nature_n for_o a_o mere_a man_n can_v not_o satisfy_v infinite_a justice_n his_o obedience_n or_o suffering_n else_o can_v not_o therefore_o have_v be_v meritorious_a for_o it_o be_v from_o the_o union_n of_o the_o divine_a nature_n with_o the_o humane_a that_o put_v such_o a_o worth_n or_o meritorious_a efficacy_n in_o his_o sacrifice_n i_o say_v jesus_n christ_n our_o mediator_n must_v be_v god_n god_n 1._o because_o those_o evil_n which_o he_o be_v to_o expiate_v can_v never_o be_v take_v away_o by_o any_o person_n that_o be_v not_o god_n or_o who_o sacrifice_n or_o atonement_n have_v not_o a_o infinite_a worth_n and_o satisfaction_n in_o it_o because_o sin_n be_v against_o the_o infinite_a majesty_n of_o heaven_n 2._o jesus_n christ_n as_o mediator_n must_v be_v god_n because_o otherwise_o he_o can_v not_o sustain_v or_o bear_v in_o his_o body_n and_o soul_n that_o great_a weight_n of_o sin_n and_o wrath_n lay_v upon_o he_o for_o if_o but_o the_o guilt_n of_o one_o sin_n be_v lay_v on_o any_o mere_a

when_o lay_v upon_o he_o have_v he_o not_o be_v god_n but_o a_o mere_a man._n how_o do_v david_n cry_v out_o of_o the_o burden_n of_o his_o sin_n 4._o my_o iniquity_n be_v go_v over_o my_o head_n as_o a_o heavy_a burden_n they_o be_v too_o heavy_a for_o i_o nay_o my_o brethren_n when_o our_o sin_n be_v lay_v upon_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o he_o begin_v to_o bear_v and_o feel_v the_o
