prefigure_v the_o second_o degree_n of_o reconciliation_n by_o christ_n death_n as_o apply_v to_o we_o by_o faith_n but_o you_o will_v say_v if_o god_n be_v first_o angry_a and_o then_o reconcile_v and_o reconcile_v by_o degree_n there_o must_v be_v a_o change_n in_o god_n and_o his_o will_n which_o can_v be_v admit_v i_o answer_v that_o reconciliation_n be_v not_o a_o immanent_a act_n but_o a_o transient_a not_o so_o proper_o abide_v in_o god_n as_o pass_v from_o he_o upon_o the_o creature_n as_o when_o the_o scripture_n say_v the_o wrath_n of_o god_n at_o such_o a_o time_n be_v kindle_v or_o arise_v it_o be_v not_o mean_v that_o the_o will_n of_o god_n be_v novelly_a inflame_v but_o that_o the_o flame_n of_o wrath_n than_o break_v forth_o in_o transient_a effect_n from_o thence_o so_o when_o it_o say_v god_n be_v reconcile_v it_o import_v not_o a_o cool_a alteration_n in_o the_o will_n of_o god_n but_o a_o gracious_a effluxion_n of_o love_n break_v out_o from_o thence_o as_o in_o punishment_n wrath_n go_v out_o from_o the_o lord_n against_o sinner_n num._n 16._o 46._o and_o be_v upon_o they_o 2_o chron._n 29._o 8._o so_o in_o reconciliation_n love_n go_v out_o from_o the_o lord_n towards_o believer_n and_o be_v upon_o they_o so_o that_o the_o change_n be_v not_o in_o god_n but_o in_o the_o creature_n proportionable_o to_o the_o nature_n of_o reconciliation_n as_o a_o transient_a act_n christ_n reconcile_v we_o unto_o god_n not_o by_o make_v a_o new_a will_n in_o god_n but_o by_o do_v his_o will_n for_o so_o he_o himself_o say_v when_o he_o come_v about_o the_o work_n loe_o i_o come_v to_o do_v thy_o will_n o_o god_n god_n will_v as_o to_o this_o point_n may_v be_v consider_v under_o a_o double_a notion_n either_o as_o natural_o pregnant_a with_o vindictive_a justice_n and_o decretive_o issue_v out_o the_o minatory_a law_n both_o require_v that_o sin_n if_o commit_v shall_v be_v punish_v or_o else_o as_o decree_a within_o itself_o the_o way_n and_o manner_n how_o this_o justice_n &_o law_n shall_v be_v satisfy_v by_o a_o surety_n in_o order_n to_o the_o redemption_n of_o sinner_n now_o christ_n perfect_o fulfil_v god_n will_n in_o all_o these_o respect_n in_o he_o our_o sin_n be_v punish_v according_a to_o the_o exaction_n of_o justice_n and_o the_o equitable_a interpretation_n of_o the_o law_n and_o that_o in_o such_o a_o way_n as_o be_v preordain_v by_o god_n will_n for_o our_o redemption_n this_o will_n be_v thus_o satisfy_v god_n be_v true_o reconcile_v not_o only_o as_o the_o socinian_n will_v have_v it_o we_o reconcile_v to_o he_o but_o he_o to_o we_o and_o this_o appear_v in_o three_o thing_n 1._o in_o that_o sin_n be_v not_o object_v before_o god_n will_n as_o it_o will_v have_v be_v have_v not_o christ_n satisfy_v it_o will_v have_v be_v object_v before_o it_o as_o that_o just_a cause_n for_o which_o god_n may_v nay_o according_a to_o the_o naturality_n of_o his_o justice_n and_o veracity_n of_o his_o law_n must_v have_v punish_v we_o sinner_n to_o all_o eternity_n but_o now_o it_o be_v not_o so_o object_v before_o it_o for_o albeit_o there_o be_v a_o intrinsical_v and_o inseparable_a desert_n of_o wrath_n in_o the_o nature_n of_o it_o yet_o now_o its_o obligation_n or_o redundancy_n upon_o the_o sinner_n appear_v not_o because_o expiate_v in_o the_o surety_n this_o the_o apostle_n call_v the_o reconcile_n of_o sin_n heb._n 2._o 17._o without_o christ_n death_n sin_n like_o a_o fury_n will_v have_v cry_v and_o clamour_v for_o wrath_n and_o vengeance_n to_o be_v pour_v down_o on_o the_o sinner_n but_o through_o his_o death_n sin_n as_o one_o reconcile_v have_v nothing_o to_o say_v against_o he_o but_o that_o he_o may_v have_v life_n and_o salvation_n on_o gospel-term_n 2._o in_o that_o the_o effect_n of_o wrath_n do_v not_o issue_v out_o from_o god_n will_n against_o the_o sinner_n as_o they_o will_v have_v do_v god_n who_o be_v infinite_a holiness_n and_o essential_a

down_o upon_o the_o sinner_n if_o it_o have_v not_o by_o the_o will_n of_o god_n be_v derive_v upon_o the_o surety_n but_o be_v derive_v thither_o that_o righteous_a will_n be_v satisfy_v and_o the_o merit_a wrath_n come_v not_o forth_o against_o the_o sinner_n but_o instead_o thereof_o 3._o effect_n of_o love_n break_v forth_o from_o god_n will_n towards_o he_o grace_n appear_v to_o all_o man_n tit._n 2._o 11._o to_o all_o man_n in_o a_o gracious_a reconciliability_n and_o to_o believer_n in_o actual_a reconciliation_n believer_n be_v actual_o accept_v or_o ingratiate_v in_o the_o belove_a eph._n 1._o 6._o and_o so_o shall_v all_o other_o as_o soon_o as_o they_o become_v believer_n thus_o god_n be_v true_o reconcile_v yet_o without_o any_o change_n in_o his_o will_n only_a sin_n do_v not_o cry_v to_o that_o will_v against_o the_o sinner_n punishment_n do_v not_o break_v out_o of_o that_o will_n upon_o he_o and_o grace_n beam_n and_o sparkle_v out_o of_o that_o will_n towards_o he_o while_o in_o all_o these_o his_o will_n remain_v unchangeable_a hence_o in_o scripture_n we_o be_v rather_o say_v to_o be_v reconcile_v to_o god_n than_o god_n to_o we_o not_o as_o the_o socinian_n will_v have_v it_o because_o we_o only_o be_v reconcile_v to_o god_n and_o not_o god_n to_o we_o but_o because_o god_n be_v reconcile_v to_o we_o in_o such_o a_o way_n as_o be_v not_o alterative_a but_o perfective_a and_o completive_a of_o his_o unchangeable_a will._n thus_o christ_n bear_v our_o sin_n and_o god_n wrath_n in_o a_o way_n so_o satisfactory_a to_o god_n justice_n and_o law_n that_o thereby_o god_n be_v reconcile_v to_o we_o and_o we_o be_v redeem_v from_o sin_n and_o wrath._n but_o here_o i_o be_o obviate_v by_o a_o objection_n if_o there_o be_v such_o a_o compensatory_a price_n pay_v for_o sin_n where_o be_v free_a remission_n free_a remission_n can_v stand_v with_o plenary_a satisfaction_n what_o be_v full_o pay_v can_v be_v at_o all_o remit_v i_o

acceptance_n be_v free_a it_o can_v if_o the_o remission_n be_v to_o the_o same_o person_n who_o make_v satisfaction_n but_o it_o may_v if_o one_o person_n make_v satisfaction_n and_o another_o find_v
