upon_o this_o plea_n be_v a_o evident_a contradiction_n therefore_o second_o the_o only_a plea_n for_o a_o guilty_a person_n to_o be_v justify_v upon_o be_v to_o plead_v mercy_n for_o the_o sake_n of_o some_o satisfaction_n make_v to_o the_o justice_n and_o honour_n of_o the_o law_n and_o by_o how_o much_o the_o full_a this_o satisfaction_n be_v by_o so_o much_o the_o full_a be_v the_o justification_n of_o such_o a_o person_n as_o be_v upon_o this_o plea_n discharge_v now_o a_o full_a satisfaction_n may_v be_v make_v two_o way_n 1._o by_o suffer_v the_o whole_a penalty_n due_a 2._o when_o a_o valuable_a consideration_n be_v accept_v by_o the_o offend_a party_n or_o judge_n wherein_o the_o honour_n of_o the_o law_n be_v as_o much_o save_v as_o if_o it_o have_v never_o be_v break_v or_o as_o if_o be_v break_v the_o full_a penalty_n have_v be_v inflict_v on_o the_o breaker_n and_o here_o i_o have_v these_o two_o thing_n to_o prove_v 1._o that_o man_n can_v never_o make_v such_o satisfaction_n to_o the_o justice_n of_o god_n nor_o any_o creature_n for_o he_o 2._o that_o the_o lord_n christ_n have_v make_v such_o full_a satisfaction_n that_o it_o stand_v now_o with_o the_o honour_n of_o the_o holy_a god_n to_o justify_v sinner_n upon_o the_o term_n of_o the_o gospel_n assertion_n 1_o first_o that_o neither_o man_n nor_o any_o creature_n can_v satisfy_v offend_v justice_n 1._o not_o by_o suffer_v the_o penalty_n for_o that_o be_v infinite_a require_v a_o infinite_a continuance_n under_o it_o there_o be_v no_o other_o way_n for_o a_o finite_a creature_n to_o suffer_v infinite_o and_o so_o the_o whole_a penalty_n will_v ever_o be_v suffer_v but_o can_v never_o be_v suffer_v for_o in_o etetnity_n stop_v where_o you_o will_v and_o there_o be_v yet_o as_o much_o to_o come_v as_o be_v already_o past_a nay_o infinite_o more_o for_o that_o which_o be_v past_a be_v but_o a_o finite_a time_n of_o suffer_v though_o million_o of_o age_n be_v past_a but_o a_o

god_n be_v not_o at_o all_o oblige_v to_o cherubim_n and_o seraphim_n for_o obey_v he_o all_o the_o creation_n natural_o owe_v its_o utmost_a possibility_n of_o service_n as_o a_o eternal_a debt_n to_o its_o great_a creator_n now_o the_o least_o act_n of_o disobedience_n or_o sin_n be_v injury_n and_o treason_n thereby_o a_o new_a obligation_n be_v contract_v viz._n to_o suffer_v condign_a

17.10_o can_v a_o man_n be_v profitable_a to_o god_n job_n 22.2_o if_o thou_o be_v righteous_a what_o give_v thou_o to_o he_o or_o what_o receive_v he_o of_o thy_o hand_n job_n 35.7_o a_o eternity_n of_o service_n in_o the_o high_a perfection_n be_v every_o creature_n debt_n as_o a_o creature_n and_o beside_o this_o a_o eternity_n of_o suffer_v too_o be_v every_o delinquent_a creature_n debt_n as_o delinquent_n but_o one_o debt_n can_v pay_v another_o since_o therefore_o all_o that_o the_o whole_a creation_n can_v do_v for_o ever_o will_v but_o just_o satisfy_v the_o first_o natural_a obligation_n unto_o pure_a justic●_n viz._n the_o debt_n of_o obedience_n it_o ●s_v qu●te_o impossible_a that_o ever_o any_o creature_n shall_v supererogate_v or_o spare_v any_o thing_n from_o hence_o towards_o satisfy_v the_o secondary_a superadded_a ob_n igation_n unto_o offend_v d_o justice_n viz._n the_o debt_n of_o punishment_n either_o in_o its_o own_o behalf_n or_o another_o second_o the_o other_o reason_n why_o neither_o man_n nor_o any_o creature_n for_o he_o can_v ever_o satisfy_v the_o offend_a creator_n by_o the_o high_a service_n because_o they_o all_o have_v it_o from_o he_o when_o they_o do_v obey_v he_o of_o his_o own_o do_v they_o give_v he_o for_o in_o he_o we_o live_v and_o move_v and_o have_v our_o be_v what_o have_v thou_o o_o man_n nay_o o_o angel_n o_o

do_v for_o we_o and_o consequent_o still_o the_o more_o we_o owe_v he_o so_o that_o act_n of_o obedience_n be_v so_o far_o from_o satisfy_v our_o obligation_n to_o god_n as_o that_o they_o contract_v new_a one_o for_o even_o for_o they_o be_v we_o oblige_v assertion_n 2_o have_v clear_v the_o first_o we_o come_v to_o the_o second_o point_n that_o christ_n have_v so_o full_o satisfy_v his_o father_n offend_a justice_n as_o it_o stand_v now_o with_o the_o honour_n of_o the_o holy_a god_n to_o justify_v every_o sinner_n that_o can_v upon_o gospel_n term_n plead_v his_o interest_n in_o
