lay_v on_o christ_n now_o if_o all_o those_o chastisement_n that_o be_v due_a to_o we_o for_o sin_n be_v lay_v on_o christ_n do_v not_o this_o derogate_a from_o christ_n suffering_n that_o he_o must_v suffer_v too_o do_v not_o this_o intimate_v that_o christ_n suffering_n be_v not_o satisfactory_a the_o answer_n be_v easy_a that_o when_o we_o say_v we_o suffer_v for_o sin_n and_o be_v punish_v for_o sin_n understand_v it_o thus_o there_o be_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o difference_n between_o our_o suffering_n for_o sin_n and_o christ_n suffering_n for_o sin_n we_o do_v not_o suffer_v for_o sin_n as_o christ_n do_v because_o our_o punishment_n for_o sin_n be_v not_o by_o way_n of_o satisfaction_n to_o divine_a justice_n but_o only_o by_o way_n of_o castigation_n from_o divine_a justice_n when_o god_n do_v punish_v a_o pardon_v man_n with_o some_o outward_a judgement_n for_o sin_n it_o be_v no_o satisfaction_n no_o compensation_n when_o the_o text_n say_v that_o our_o chastisement_n be_v lay_v upon_o christ_n the_o meaning_n be_v christ_n suffer_v for_o sin_n by_o way_n of_o satisfaction_n he_o appeal_v god_n wrath_n he_o satisfy_v god_n justice_n for_o the_o sin_n that_o we_o have_v do_v shall_v we_o lose_v our_o blood_n for_o a_o sin_n shall_v we_o give_v the_o fruit_n of_o our_o body_n for_o the_o sin_n of_o our_o soul_n yet_o this_o can_v make_v a_o compensation_n for_o sin_n therefore_o it_o may_v well_o consist_v that_o god_n punish_v christ_n for_o our_o sin_n by_o way_n of_o satisfaction_n to_o his_o justice_n and_o may_v punish_v we_o by_o way_n of_o castigation_n as_o a_o father_n his_o child_n now_o to_o ratify_v and_o satisfy_v your_o thought_n the_o more_o in_o this_o that_o though_o god_n do_v pardon_v a_o sin_n yet_o he_o will_v punish_v for_o a_o sin_n take_v some_o reason_n for_o it_o first_o because_o wicked_a man_n that_o be_v punish_v for_o sin_n will_v accuse_v god_n of_o partiality_n and_o injustice_n shall_v he_o punish_v they_o and_o not_o his_o own_o people_n for_o the_o same_o sin_n wicked_a man_n will_v account_v god_n partial_a but_o the_o wicked_a shall_v say_v i_o see_v god_n own_o people_n be_v punish_v in_o this_o life_n more_o severe_o than_o i_o be_o the_o lord_n do_v it_o to_o vindicate_v the_o impartiality_n of_o his_o justice_n that_o he_o will_v not_o spare_v sin_n where_o ever_o find_v it_o a_o second_o reason_n be_v because_o god_n do_v command_v magistrate_n to_o execute_v punishment_n in_o this_o life_n for_o sin_n even_o upon_o good_a man_n therefore_o if_o he_o command_v a_o magistrate_n to_o punish_v a_o good_a man_n for_o his_o sin_n sure_o he_o do_v approve_v of_o their_o punishment_n suppose_v a_o good_a man_n shall_v commit_v adultery_n he_o be_v to_o die_v for_o it_o suppose_v he_o shall_v commit_v murder_n he_o be_v to_o die_v for_o it_o if_o god_n do_v command_v that_o pownall_a punishment_n shall_v be_v inflict_v on_o good_a man_n in_o this_o life_n then_o sure_o he_o may_v do_v it_o much_o more_o himself_o case_n 3_o the_o three_o case_n of_o conscience_n be_v this_o whether_o do_v pardon_n of_o sin_n go_v before_o faith_n and_o repentance_n or_o

of_o pardon_n they_o may_v sympathize_v with_o and_o carry_v more_o tenderness_n of_o compassion_n towards_o they_o that_o be_v trouble_v in_o mind_n it_o be_v one_o end_n of_o christ_n suffering_n

may_v carry_v more_o compassion_n and_o more_o bowel_n of_o tenderness_n towards_o person_n that_o be_v under_o deep_a desertion_n let_v a_o scholar_n that_o study_v many_o thing_n read_v in_o a_o

the_o pang_n herself_o so_o in_o divine_a thing_n it_o be_v experience_n that_o make_v man_n have_v compassion_n second_o it_o be_v for_o this_o reason_n to_o raise_v up_o in_o man_n heart_n a_o

in_o any_o other_o part_n of_o the_o year_n it_o be_v for_o this_o because_o after_o the_o vanish_v away_o of_o a_o long_a and_o tedious_a winter_n the_o refresh_a spring_n come_v in_o beloved_n the_o

will_v prize_v pardon_v grace_n most_o three_o god_n do_v sometime_o pardon_v a_o man_n sin_n yet_o not_o tell_v he_o of_o it_o and_o it_o be_v for_o rebuke_v to_o he_o because_o he_o have_v not_o live_v in_o the_o exercise_n of_o grace_n thou_o keep_v back_o obedience_n from_o god_n and_o god_n keep_v back_o comfort_n from_o thou_o this_o be_v a_o main_a reason_n why_o sometime_o god_n pardon_v a_o sinner_n and_o yet_o do_v not_o tell_v he_o of_o it_o in_o his_o own_o conscience_n it_o be_v do_v in_o heaven_n the_o pardon_n be_v write_v there_o but_o it_o be_v not_o do_v in_o the_o conscience_n it_o be_v not_o write_v here_o it_o be_v to_o give_v thou_o a_o rebuke_n a_o check_n in_o thy_o own_o heart_n sure_o i_o have_v not_o exercise_v grace_n therefore_o sure_o god_n will_v not_o give_v i_o the_o comfort_a work_n of_o his_o spirit_n when_o thou_o be_v not_o much_o in_o grace_n than_o thou_o shall_v be_v but_o little_a in_o peace_n it_o be_v just_a with_o god_n so_o to_o do_v four_o the_o lord_n pardon_v a_o sin_n when_o he_o do_v not_o tell_v that_o it_o be_v pardon_v it_o be_v to_o make_v the_o repentance_n of_o man_n more_o visible_a and_o satisfactory_a to_o the_o world_n that_o have_v be_v offend_v by_o their_o sin_n the_o lord_n will_v make_v the_o world_n see_v that_o if_o man_n will_v sin_v notorious_o they_o shall_v smart_v bitter_o to_o make_v the_o world_n see_v that_o repentance_n be_v no_o slight_a work_n and_o to_o make_v peace_n with_o god_n be_v not_o easy_a five_o to_o make_v man_n to_o taste_v the_o evil_n and_o bitterness_n of_o sin_n shall_v a_o man_n that_o be_v notorious_o wicked_a present_o attain_v the_o sense_n of_o pardon_n it_o may_v be_v he_o will_v not_o taste_v the_o bitterness_n of_o sin_n 6._o another_o reason_n be_v this_o to_o teach_v doubt_v christian_n that_o assurance_n be_v not_o essential_a to_o pardon_v it_o be_v separable_a from_o pardon_n it_o be_v separable_a from_o faith_n therefore_o from_o pardon_n a_o man_n may_v believe_v yet_o know_v not_o that_o he_o do_v believe_v the_o lord_n do_v it_o for_o that_o end_n to_o teach_v doubt_v christian_n that_o though_o they_o have_v not_o assurance_n yet_o they_o may_v have_v faith_n though_o they_o want_v the_o sense_n of_o pardon_n they_o may_v be_v pardon_v there_o can_v be_v fruit_n but_o there_o must_v be_v a_o tree_n yet_o there_o may_v be_v a_o tree_n when_o there_o be_v no_o fruit_n there_o may_v be_v grace_n in_o the_o heart_n when_o there_o be_v no_o peace_n in_o the_o conscience_n to_o have_v peace_n be_v additional_a to_o grace_v now_o the_o lord_n for_o these_o holy_a end_n do_v sometime_o pardon_v a_o sin_n in_o heaven_n when_o the_o pardon_n be_v not_o seal_v to_o the_o conscience_n thus_o much_o for_o the_o first_o case_n a_o second_o case_n of_o conscience_n be_v this_o if_o god_n pardon_v a_o sin_n whether_o or_o no_o do_v he_o afflict_v and_o punish_v man_n for_o it_o after_o it_o be_v forgive_v this_o be_v a_o useful_a question_n and_o the_o reason_n be_v because_o there_o be_v error_n and_o mistake_n about_o it_o mistake_v on_o the_o right_a hand_n and_o on_o the_o left_a the_o antinomian_o say_v that_o a_o pardon_v sinner_n be_v never_o afflict_v for_o sin_n and_o say_v they_o to_o say_v that_o a_o man_n who_o sin_n be_v forgive_v be_v afflict_v for_o sin_n do_v derogate_v from_o the_o satisfaction_n and_o suffering_n of_o christ_n then_o the_o papist_n say_v that_o man_n be_v afflict_v and_o punish_v for_o sin_n and_o that_o these_o punishment_n be_v for_o satisfaction_n to_o divine_a justice_n and_o they_o be_v meritorious_a and_o on_o this_o ground_n they_o bottom_n purgatory_n that_o after_o a_o man_n be_v dead_a he_o must_v for_o some_o year_n lie_v in_o purgatory_n to_o satisfy_v for_o some_o notorious_a gross_a sin_n do_v in_o his_o life_n now_o belove_v to_o keep_v you_o from_o swerve_v either_o way_n i_o shall_v lay_v down_o the_o true_a genuine_a state_n of_o this_o question_n and_o resolve_v it_o to_o you_o first_o consider_v this_o that_o god_n do_v not_o afflict_v any_o man_n but_o where_o sin_n be_v that_o be_v my_o first_o position_n god_n do_v not_o cruciate_v a_o innocent_a creature_n indeed_o the_o schoolman_n have_v a_o question_n whether_o god_n by_o his_o sovereignty_n may_v torment_v a_o innocent_a creature_n but_o that_o be_v but_o a_o nicety_n but_o this_o be_v most_o certain_a that_o god_n in_o the_o dispensation_n of_o his_o judgement_n do_v punish_v no_o man_n but_o where_o sin_n be_v sin_n enter_v into_o the_o world_n and_o death_n by_o sin_n second_o though_o god_n afflict_v none_o sinless_a yet_o sometime_o it_o may_v be_v for_o trial_n and_o not_o for_o any_o particular_a sin_n so_o be_v job_n affliction_n it_o be_v not_o for_o sin_n but_o for_o trial_n to_o try_v job_n grace_n three_o and_o chief_o it_o be_v apparent_a from_o the_o scripture_n that_o pardon_v sinner_n may_v be_v punish_v for_o their_o sin_n will_v not_o this_o be_v partial_a for_o a_o father_n to_o beat_v the_o servant_n for_o a_o fault_n yet_o not_o beat_v the_o child_n for_o a_o worse_a fault_n now_o the_o lord_n will_v not_o leave_v such_o a_o plea_n as_o this_o in_o any_o wicked_a man_n heart_n in_o all_o the_o kingdom_n of_o the_o world_n where_o sword_n where_o pestilence_n where_o famine_n and_o where_o plague_n have_v be_v the_o good_a have_v fall_v with_o the_o bad_a the_o righteous_a have_v fall_v by_o the_o sword_n as_o well_o as_o the_o wicked_a the_o reason_n be_v that_o the_o world_n shall_v not_o say_v that_o he_o be_v a_o partial_a god_n now_o to_o satisfy_v and_o to_o establish_v your_o thought_n in_o this_o point_n i_o shall_v give_v you_o two_o express_a testimony_n in_o the_o scripture_n that_o god_n do_v punish_v his_o

to_o take_v off_o man_n from_o pray_v for_o pardon_n of_o sin_n the_o scripture_n do_v express_v it_o i_o acknowledge_v my_o transgression_n and_o thou_o forgave_v math._n 6._o 12._o and_o forgive_v
