for_o witness_v the_o truth_n or_o upon_o any_o other_o occasion_n be_v not_o original_o any_o branch_n of_o the_o moral_a law_n but_o partly_o by_o reason_n of_o the_o interveen_n of_o sin_n but_o especial_o by_o reason_n of_o the_o great_a benefit_n of_o the_o redemption_n of_o the_o world_n from_o sin_n by_o jesus_n christ_n it_o be_v now_o a_o superadded_a duty_n among_o many_o other_o

of_o lay_v down_o a_o man_n life_n in_o case_n the_o spiritual_a yea_o or_o perhaps_o the_o temporal_a rall_a necessity_n of_o some_o man_n do_v require_v it_o and_o doubtless_o there_o be_v the_o

that_o great_a deliverance_n from_o sin_n bring_v into_o the_o world_n by_o another_o jesus_n christ_n four_o and_o last_o i_o answer_v yet_o further_o that_o no_o man_n have_v ever_o any_o call_n from_o god_n by_o virtue_n of_o the_o moral_a law_n as_o now_o it_o stand_v with_o all_o the_o addition_n and_o improvement_n of_o it_o to_o lay_v down_o his_o life_n either_o for_o witness_v the_o

life_n seem_v to_o be_v require_v may_v be_v aswell_o that_o be_v as_o lawful_o and_o as_o sufficient_o provide_v for_o in_o another_o way_n for_o certain_o neither_o do_v the_o moral_a law_n nor_o god_n himself_o by_o virtue_n of_o any_o commandment_n in_o this_o law_n require_v of_o man_n at_o any_o time_n to_o die_v like_o fool_n and_o what_o be_v it_o but_o to_o die_v like_o a_o fool_n when_o a_o man_n shall_v give_v his_o life_n for_o that_o which_o may_v aswell_o and_o as_o effectual_o be_v procure_v by_o he_o in_o another_o way_n if_o therefore_o it_o be_v conceive_v that_o christ_n may_v be_v call_v god_n by_o virtue_n of_o the_o moral_a law_n to_o lay_v down_o his_o life_n for_o witness_v or_o seal_v the_o truth_n i_o answer_v that_o christ_n can_v have_v as_o sufficient_o provide_v for_o the_o honour_n and_o advancement_n of_o truth_n another_o way_n as_o by_o his_o death_n viz._n by_o the_o inward_a illumination_n and_o conviction_n of_o the_o judgementsand_n conscience_n of_o me●_n by_o his_o spirit_n therefore_o he_o have_v no_o call_n by_o the_o moral_a law_n to_o die_v for_o this_o end_n if_o it_o be_v yet_o object_v but_o the_o salvation_n of_o man_n his_o brethren_n can_v not_o be_v provide_v for_o by_o he_o in_o any_o other_o way_n but_o by_o his_o death_n only_o therefore_o in_o this_o regard_n and_o for_o this_o end_n he_o may_v be_v bind_v by_o the_o moral_a law_n to_o die_v to_o this_o i_o answer_v as_o before_o in_o part_n that_o the_o moral_a law_n consider_v as_o simple_o moral_a i._o as_o require_v only_o those_o duty_n of_o a_o man_n which_o be_v require_v of_o he_o in_o his_o estate_n of_o innocence_n threaten_v all_o sinner_n without_o exception_n with_o death_n without_o give_v the_o least_o

whatsoever_o may_v now_o be_v conceive_v to_o be_v impose_v upon_o any_o man_n by_o way_n of_o duty_n in_o this_o kind_n do_v not_o arise_v from_o the_o original_n and_o native_a morality_n of_o the_o
