god_n can_v be_v well-pleased_n with_o sinner_n 9.14_o even_o through_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n who_o through_o the_o eternal_a spirit_n offer_v himself_o without_o spot_n to_o god_n who_o purgethi'ge_v our_o conscience_n from_o the_o dead_a work_n of_o sin_n to_o serve_v the_o live_a god_n for_o by_o one_o offer_v he_o have_v perfect_v ever_o they_o that_o be_v sanctisied_a 10.14_o therefore_o to_o imagine_v any_o possibility_n of_o the_o pardon_n of_o sin_n without_o out_o the_o atone_a propitiation_n and_o satisfaction_n only_o obtain_v by_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n be_v a_o evil_a figment_n to_o palliate_v the_o desperate_a wickedness_n and_o sinfulness_n of_o sin_n to_o make_v void_a the_o law_n of_o perpetual_a righteousness_n which_o be_v the_o inâ—sible_a rule_n and_o judge_n of_o all_o affection_n and_o action_n and_o do_v indeed_o effectual_o contemn_v and_o blaspheme_v the_o infinite_a majesty_n holiness_n and_o justice_n of_o god_n the_o creator_n and_o preserver_n of_o all_o being_n and_o consequent_o miserable_o deprive_v a_o sinner_n of_o that_o strong_a consolation_n give_v by_o god_n to_o those_o that_o fly_v for_o refuge_n unto_o christ_n 6.18_o to_o obtain_v by_o his_o resurrection_n the_o evidence_n of_o his_o complete_a satisfaction_n to_o divine_a justice_n the_o answer_n of_o a_o good_a conscience_n the_o worshipper_n thus_o purge_v 10.2_o as_o the_o scripture_n say_v have_v no_o more_o conscience_n of_o sin_n 53.6_o the_o lord_n have_v lay_v on_o he_o the_o iniquity_n of_o we_o all_o who_o do_v the_o work_n of_o god_n to_o believe_v on_o he_o who_o he_o have_v send_v for_o this_o be_v the_o true_a cabala_n the_o faithful_a say_v and_o worthy_a of_o all_o acceptation_n 1.15_o that_o christ_n jesus_n come_v into_o the_o world_n to_o save_v even_o chief_a sinner_n in_o the_o case_n of_o life_n and_o death_n according_a to_o universal_a justice_n in_o the_o world_n it_o be_v fatal_a not_o only_o to_o be_v a_o outlaw_n fly_v from_o justice_n mute_o in_o refuse_v to_o answer_v justice_n but_o it_o prove_v no_o less_o mortal_a to_o suggest_v a_o plea_n which_o the_o law_n will_v not_o allow_v if_o a_o criminal_a condemn_v to_o die_v be_v favour_v with_o some_o reprieve_n and_o then_o by_o the_o sovereign_n commission_n entrust_v with_o a_o important_a employment_n the_o faithful_a discharge_n of_o that_o trust_n be_v mere_a duty_n but_o not_o merit_v and_o he_o remain_v still_o a_o condemn_a malefactor_n liable_a to_o the_o former_a sentence_n by_o the_o law_n of_o attaint_n and_o death_n from_o which_o not_o any_o thing_n can_v deliver_v but_o a_o pardon_n from_o the_o sovereign_n lay_v hold_v on_o and_o legal_o plead_v by_o the_o criminal_a it_o be_v thus_o according_a to_o the_o rule_n of_o righteousness_n between_o the_o judge_n of_o all_o the_o world_n and_o every_o mortal_a creature_n that_o god_n may_v be_v just_a 26_o and_o the_o justifier_n of_o he_o which_o believe_v in_o jesus_n therefore_o we_o must_v not_o be_v ignorant_a of_o saton_n device_n the_o popish_a doctrine_n of_o merit_n by_o work_n sprinkle_v as_o they_o say_v by_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n available_a to_o justification_n and_o salvation_n 2._o be_v a_o antichristian_a departure_n from_o the_o faith_n and_o the_o teach_n of_o lie_n in_o hypocrisy_n for_o there_o can_v be_v any_o work_n possible_a to_o be_v accept_v by_o divine_a justice_n but_o what_o be_v a_o act_n of_o obedience_n to_o the_o law_n and_o the_o best_a performance_n of_o such_o be_v but_o as_o our_o saviour_n say_v that_o of_o a_o unprofitable_a servant_n 17.10_o when_o we_o shall_v have_v do_v all_o those_o thing_n which_o be_v command_v we_o we_o must_v say_v we_o have_v do_v that_o which_o be_v our_o duty_n to_o do_v therefore_o the_o observance_n of_o a_o present_a duty_n the_o neglect_n or_o male-performance_n whereof_o will_v be_v criminal_a gild_n can_v in_o any_o just_a construction_n be_v assume_v or_o impute_v to_o expiate_v a_o precedent_a transgression_n guilty_a of_o felony_n and_o treason_n yet_o this_o truth_n do_v not_o in_o any_o degree_n exempt_a from_o the_o obedience_n of_o faith_n which_o be_v the_o inseparable_a and_o indispensable_a obligation_n and_o duty_n annex_v to_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n so_o that_o there_o be_v not_o in_o the_o least_o degree_n any_o pretence_n for_o antinomian_n libertinism_n for_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n that_o bring_v salvation_n 12._o have_v appear_v to_o all_o man_n teach_v we_o that_o deny_v ungodliness_n and_o worldly_a lust_n we_o shall_v live_v sober_o righteous_o and_o godly_a in_o this_o present_a world_n because_o faith_n unite_v we_o to_o the_o principle_n of_o life_n and_o work_n in_o we_o by_o love_n which_o be_v the_o operation_n or_o activity_n of_o life_n in_o the_o fulfil_n of_o the_o law_n there_o be_v also_o another_o method_n of_o the_o depth_n of_o satan_n to_o cloud_v the_o glory_n of_o god_n free_a grace_n and_o the_o complete_a merit_n of_o christ_n satisfaction_n and_o righteousness_n and_o also_o to_o shake_v the_o confidence_n of_o a_o sinner_n hope_n to_o obtain_v remission_n and_o acceptance_n by_o suborn_v the_o act_n of_o faith_n to_o share_v in_o the_o merit_n of_o christ_n now_o how_o weak_a and_o unreasonable_a this_o supposition_n be_v will_v appear_v by_o the_o consideration_n of_o parallel_a case_n of_o civil_a and_o natural_a instance_n in_o judicature_n though_o the_o guilty_a person_n can_v have_v benefit_n unless_o he_o plead_v the_o royal_a pardon_n yet_o there_o be_v no_o virtue_n in_o the_o plea_n and_o humble_a claim_n but_o only_o in_o the_o extensive_a validity_n of_o the_o pardon_n likewise_o in_o desperate_a sickness_n or_o deadly_a wound_n the_o heal_a virtue_n be_v not_o in_o the_o mere_a application_n or_o receive_v the_o sovereign_a balm_n or_o elixir_n not_o withstand_v the_o patient_n can_v be_v heal_v without_o the_o reception_n or_o application_n of_o the_o remedy_n thus_o it_o be_v with_o a_o sinner_n before_o the_o divine_a tribunal_n faith_n believe_v the_o truth_n and_o goodness_n of_o the_o promise_n and_o embrace_n and_o rely_v upon_o it_o that_o be_v upon_o the_o redemption_n purchase_v by_o jesus_n christ_n for_o complete_a salvation_n from_o the_o condemnation_n and_o corruption_n of_o sinful_a death_n for_o reconciliation_n and_o acceptance_n with_o god_n and_o for_o participation_n of_o eternal_a life_n which_o be_v in_o christ_n jesus_n to_o be_v communicate_v to_o all_o those_o who_o by_o faith_n receive_v christ_n and_o so_o have_v a_o union_n of_o life_n with_o christ_n now_o as_o in_o the_o body_n the_o artery_n and_o nerve_n be_v the_o ligament_n the_o vessel_n and_o conveyance_n for_o vital_a union_n and_o motion_n unto_o all_o the_o member_n by_o the_o blood_n and_o animal_n spirit_n so_o faith_n to_o the_o soul_n be_v a_o mean_n of_o vital_a union_n with_o christ_n and_o of_o the_o application_n and_o merit_n of_o christ_n all_o which_o be_v effect_v by_o the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n 5.17_o without_o which_o we_o be_v none_o of_o christ_n 2.26_o and_o faith_n itself_o be_v dead_a the_o look_v of_o one_o sting_v with_o the_o deadly_a fiery_a serpent_n to_o the_o brazen_a serpent_n have_v no_o share_n in_o the_o heal_a virtue_n of_o that_o divine_a ordinance_n yet_o without_o look_v up_o to_o the_o brazen_a serpent_n the_o person_n sting_v can_v receive_v no_o benefit_n but_o must_v die_v so_o faith_n have_v no_o justify_v virtue_n inherent_a in_o itself_o for_o what_o may_v prevail_v to_o justify_v must_v make_v the_o conscience_n perfect_a consequent_o the_o efficient_a of_o perfection_n must_v of_o itself_o be_v perfect_a but_o faith_n can_v be_v such_o for_o it_o be_v not_o of_o ourselves_o 2.8_o it_o be_v the_o gift_n of_o god_n now_o whatsoever_o be_v receive_v be_v receive_v according_a to_o the_o measure_n and_o capacity_n of_o the_o recipient_a which_o 〈…〉_z and_o frail_a 〈…〉_z it_o can_v be_v 〈…〉_z the_o law_n be_v weak_a and_o 〈…〉_z through_o the_o flesh_n so_o even_o the_o gift_n of_o faith_n be_v not_o able_a through_o the_o remainder_n of_o corruption_n to_o perform_v any_o perfect_a work_n therefore_o the_o scripture_n represent_v the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n under_o the_o notion_n of_o the_o most_o tender_a compassion_n to_o the_o weak_a in_o faith_n 12.20_o that_o he_o will_v not_o break_v the_o bruise_a reed_n nor_o quench_v the_o smoke_a flax_n but_o will_v bring_v forth_o judgement_n unto_o victory_n which_o proceed_v not_o from_o any_o virtue_n and_o power_n inherent_a in_o the_o work_n of_o faith_n but_o from_o the_o righteousness_n and_o strength_n 45.24_o which_o only_o be_v to_o be_v find_v in_o the_o lord_n jesus_n by_o perish_v sinner_n who_o sly_a for_o refuge_n unto_o the_o hope_n that_o be_v set_v before_o they_o jesus_n christ_n the_o son_n of_o god_n even_o as_o the_o manslayer_n under_o the_o law_n can_v not_o
