we_o must_v not_o look_v to_o the_o quantity_n not_o for_o a_o month_n or_o a_o quarter_n but_o go_v to_o the_o lord_n as_o to_o a_o market_n let_v he_o dispose_v it_o or_o else_o we_o beg_v one_o

they_o be_v call_v debt_n because_o we_o owe_v all_o obedience_n to_o god_n to_o love_v he_o above_o all_o and_o our_o neighbour_n as_o ourselves_o and_o these_o be_v the_o article_n of_o agreement_n the_o slight_v and_o neglect_n of_o this_o bring_v we_o into_o debt_n with_o god_n for_o first_o we_o be_v bind_v to_o these_o second_o by_o break_v these_o we_o deserve_v the_o punishment_n due_a to_o the_o breach_n of_o it_o now_o when_o we_o omit_v any_o thing_n we_o forfeit_v and_o be_v cast_v behind_o hand_n and_o three_o we_o be_v liable_a to_o the_o execution_n of_o the_o punishment_n due_a to_o we_o in_o the_o breach_n of_o this_o thus_o sin_n be_v debt_n and_o debt_n sin_n of_o omission_n or_o commission_n what_o be_v it_o to_o forgive_v to_o forgive_v be_v this_o quest_n quest_n we_o beg_v that_o the_o lord_n will_v be_v please_v not_o to_o take_v advantage_n of_o we_o because_o of_o our_o debt_n answ_n answ_n nor_o yet_o to_o proceed_v in_o the_o rigour_n of_o this_o law_n to_o do_v that_o it_o require_v now_o our_o sin_n require_v we_o shall_v be_v condemn_v and_o execute_v a_o malefactor_n forfeit_v his_o bond_n be_v cast_v in_o his_o cause_n and_o then_o cast_v into_o the_o prison_n and_o execution_n sue_v out_o for_o the_o satisfaction_n of_o this_o debt_n now_o we_o beg_v of_o the_o lord_n that_o he_o will_v not_o condemn_v we_o in_o the_o court_n of_o conscience_n nor_o execute_v his_o justice_n on_o we_o this_o be_v to_o forgive_v and_o this_o proceed_v from_o mercy_n but_o how_o can_v god_n do_v thus_o will_v this_o stand_v with_o the_o justice_n of_o god_n quest_n quest_n not_o to_o be_v satisfy_v for_o our_o fault_n to_o pardon_v without_o satisfaction_n no_o answ_n answ_n but_o though_o the_o party_n do_v not_o satisfy_v yet_o if_o the_o surety_n do_v it_o be_v sufficient_a so_o though_o he_o do_v forgive_v we_o yet_o he_o look_v for_o it_o at_o the_o surety_n hand_n as_o the_o creditor_n do_v not_o require_v the_o debt_n at_o the_o debtor_n hand_n but_o at_o his_o hand_n that_o be_v bind_v to_o make_v satisfaction_n for_o the_o debt_n so_o the_o lord_n do_v not_o require_v satisfaction_n of_o we_o as_o he_o may_v to_o exact_v the_o utmost_a farthing_n because_o thou_o sin_v thou_o shall_v die_v the_o lord_z will_v not_o exact_v this_o of_o we_o but_o he_o require_v this_o satisfaction_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n so_o that_o god_n the_o father_n be_v satisfy_v though_o not_o by_o we_o mercy_n to_o i_o and_o justice_n to_o christ_n mercy_n on_o my_o part_n and_o justice_n on_o christ_n part_n thus_o we_o see_v what_o it_o be_v to_o forgive_v we_o that_o be_v that_o the_o lord_n will_v not_o arrest_v we_o but_o the_o surety_n that_o he_o will_v not_o exact_v of_o we_o but_o take_v all_o of_o christ_n whether_o be_v a_o man_n sin_n forgive_v at_o once_o quest_n quest_n or_o at_o sundry_a time_n at_o the_o first_o time_n answ_n answ_n when_o a_o man_n believe_v in_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n at_o that_o time_n all_o his_o sin_n past_a present_a or_o to_o come_v be_v remit_v the_o sin_n he_o commit_v after_o believe_v or_o in_o believe_v or_o before_o believe_v be_v all_o pardon_v justification_n do_v not_o increase_v or_o decrease_v but_o sin_v it_o be_v pardon_v at_o the_o first_o act_n of_o believe_a though_o sanctification_n may_v have_v degree_n one_o man_n may_v be_v

now_o the_o argument_n be_v this_o i_o will_v conclude_v in_o divers_a proposition_n first_o argum._n argum._n our_o saviour_n by_o once_o suffer_v suffer_v for_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o elect_n past_a present_a and_o to_o come_v the_o infinite_a wrath_n of_o god_n the_o father_n fall_v on_o he_o for_o my_o sin_n now_o this_o wrath_n be_v all_o one_o in_o he_o and_o be_v all_o one_o and_o infinite_a and_o our_o saviour_n suffer_v this_o whole_a and_o infinite_a wrath_n of_o god_n the_o father_n if_o he_o have_v suffer_v for_o 10000_o world_n he_o can_v have_v suffer_v no_o more_o god_n wrath_n can_v not_o be_v but_o infinite_a so_o be_v his_o suffering_n he_o may_v have_v apply_v his_o suffering_n to_o many_o thousand_o more_o if_o he_o will_v and_o yet_o have_v suffer_v no_o more_o adam_n sin_n be_v enough_o to_o infect_v a_o thousand_o world_n and_o our_o saviour_n merit_n be_v sufficient_a for_o a_o thousand_o world_n second_o those_o suffering_n that_o he_o suffer_v
for_o my_o sin_n past_a be_v sufficient_a for_o he_o to_o suffer_v and_o satisfy_v for_o my_o sin_n present_a and_o to_o come_v three_o the_o sinner_n stand_v justify_v not_o for_o any_o thing_n in_o himself_o but_o by_o the_o mercy_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n now_o then_o gather_v up_o all_o and_o the_o thing_n be_v clear_a if_o our_o saviour_n suffer_v for_o all_o sin_n and_o this_o be_v infinite_a be_v sufficient_a to_o pacify_v all_o his_o wrath_n due_a to_o my_o sin_n past_a present_a or_o to_o come_v and_o if_o a_o man_n be_v not_o justify_v of_o or_o by_o any_o thing_n of_o his_o own_o but_o from_o christ_n from_o this_o i_o argue_v by_o what_o death_n be_v my_o sin_n remit_v by_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n and_o have_v not_o i_o the_o whole_a death_n of_o our_o our_o

this_o death_n of_o christ_n be_v apply_v to_o the_o soul_n at_o the_o first_o act_n of_o believe_v in_o the_o lord_n christ_n therefore_o my_o sin_n past_a present_a or_o to_o come_v be_v remit_v at_o the_o first_o act_n of_o believe_a that_o remission_n of_o sin_n that_o leave_v no_o condemnation_n to_o the_o party_n offend_v be_v the_o remission_n of_o all_o sin_n for_o if_o there_o be_v

forgiveness_n make_v a_o man_n yield_v faithful_a obedience_n than_o it_o be_v clear_a that_o the_o forgiveness_n of_o all_o sin_n past_a present_a or_o to_o come_v be_v make_v to_o the_o soul_n at_o

therefore_o all_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o elect_n whether_o past_a or_o present_a or_o to_o come_v be_v pardon_v at_o once_o in_o christ_n but_o then_o why_o do_v we_o pray_v for_o daily_a
