proportion_n betwixt_o one_o mere_a man_n die_v for_o sin_n and_o many_o man_n sin_v and_o deserve_a death_n each_o of_o they_o for_o the_o sin_n they_o have_v commit_v and_o how_o a_o infinite_a justice_n offend_v shall_v be_v satisfy_v with_o the_o sacrifice_n finite_a in_o value_n be_v unconceivable_a and_o against_o the_o tenure_n of_o the_o scripture_n answ_n consider_v the_o word_n of_o this_o instance_n with_o its_o scope_n we_o may_v draw_v up_o this_o argument_n that_o doctrine_n which_o take_v away_o the_o value_n of_o christ_n offering_n and_o destroy_v the_o satisfaction_n which_o he_o give_v to_o divine_a justice_n bring_v in_o as_o it_o be_v another_o gospel_n etc._n etc._n but_o that_o doctrine_n which_o make_v christ_n a_o mere_a creature_n do_v so_o therefore_o i_o shall_v grant_v the_o major_a but_o how_o prove_v you_o the_o minor_a you_o will_v confirm_v your_o doctrine_n by_o ask_v two_o query_n 1._o if_o christ_n be_v say_v you_o a_o mere_a creature_n than_o who_o can_v he_o satisfy_v for_o the_o sin_n of_o many_o transgressor_n &_o c_o sir_n if_o it_o please_v you_o to_o consider_v rom._n 5.12_o and_o so_o forward_o you_o may_v answer_v your_o own_o query_n or_o see_v as_o good_a reason_n of_o this_o which_o i_o shall_v now_o propound_v if_o adam_n be_v a_o mere_a creature_n how_o can_v his_o sin_n make_v many_o transgressor_n if_o through_o the_o offence_n of_o one_o many_o be_v dead_a much_o more_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n and_o the_o gift_n by_o grace_n by_o one_o man_n jesus_n christ_n have_v abound_v unto_o many_o rom._n 5.15_o christ_n as_o well_o as_o adam_n be_v a_o common_a person_n and_o therefore_o the_o lord_n have_v lay_v upon_o he_o the_o iniquity_n of_o we_o all_o and_o he_o bear_v the_o curse_n of_o the_o law_n his_o member_n be_v deliver_v from_o both_o the_o sin_n and_o the_o curse_n your_o second_o query_n be_v this_o how_o be_v it_o conceivable_a that_o a_o infinite_a justice_n offend_v shall_v be_v satisfy_v by_o a_o sacrifice_n finite_a in_o value_n what_o matter_n it_o sir_n if_o it_o be_v unconceivable_a must_v it_o therefore_o be_v uncredible_a doubtless_o in_o all_o controversall_n doctrine_n you_o will_v not_o hold_v this_o for_o a_o orthodoxal_a tenant_n in_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o trinity_n credit_n must_v be_v give_v to_o thing_n unconceivable_a but_o the_o like_a liberty_n it_o seem_v will_v not_o be_v allow_v in_o christ_n mediatorship_n eut_fw-fr sir_n the_o foundation_n you_o build_v upon_o be_v not_o a_o little_a questionable_a you_o take_v that_o for_o grant_v and_o so_o infer_v from_o it_o which_o you_o be_v to_o confirm_v sure_o i_o be_o that_o not_o a_o few_o error_n may_v lie_v under_o your_o non-scripturall-language_n you_o tell_v we_o of_o a_o infinite_a sacrifice_n but_o what_o you_o mean_v by_o it_o and_o where_o scripture_n tell_v we_o i_o be_o yet_o for_o to_o learn_v the_o scripture_n tell_v we_o that_o christ_n be_v make_v sin_n or_o a_o sin_n offer_v for_o we_o by_o take_v our_o sin_n and_o bear_v the_o curse_n but_o how_o this_o sacrifice_n be_v infinite_a remain_v to_o i_o unconceivable_a if_o the_o suffering_n of_o christ_n have_v be_v infinite_a there_o have_v be_v no_o end_n of_o it_o if_o the_o curse_n have_v be_v infinite_a man_n can_v not_o have_v bear_v it_o be_v uncapable_a of_o any_o thing_n infinite_a in_o the_o infinity_o of_o it_o it_o be_v enough_o for_o i_o to_o believe_v that_o my_o lord_n jesus_n suffer_v for_o i_o whatever_o i_o deserve_v to_o suffer_v and_o that_o be_v the_o curse_n of_o the_o law_n be_v that_o what_o it_o will_n there_o be_v a_o scripture_n which_o i_o find_v in_o your_o instance_n and_o that_o be_v act_n 20.28_o and_o i_o know_v no_o fittee_a place_n than_o the_o close_a of_o my_o answer_n for_o it_o sir_n i_o shall_v offer_v these_o few_o thing_n to_o your_o consideration_n 1._o that_o there_o may_v be_v some_o mistake_n in_o the_o text._n god_n may_v be_v put_v for_o

have_v make_v you_o overseer_n to_o feed_v the_o church_n of_o christ_n which_o he_o have_v purchase_v with_o his_o own_o blood_n the_o church_n of_o the_o saint_n be_v call_v the_o church_n of_o

through_o carelessness_n or_o something_o worse_o may_v here_o put_v god_n for_o christ_n there_o be_v two_o place_n one_o in_o the_o old_a testament_n another_o in_o the_o new_a which_o willet_n conceive_v to_o have_v be_v mistake_v by_o the_o scribe_n negligence_n or_o something_o worse_o the_o first_o be_v psal_n 22.16_o where_o caari_n signify_v as_o a_o lion_n be_v put_v for_o caru_a

observe_v many_o copy_n have_v lord_n and_o the_o syriack_n christ_n not_o god_n last_o it_o be_v easy_a to_o mistake_v take_v one_o for_o the_o other_o from_o that_o compendious_a writing_n which_o

place_n if_o it_o be_v prove_v that_o there_o be_v no_o mistake_n in_o the_o text_n yet_o there_o may_v be_v a_o defect_n in_o the_o word_n for_o the_o last_o clause_n some_o greek_a copy_n thus_o

all_o if_o both_o these_o may_v be_v remove_v yet_o the_o word_n may_v have_v another_o meaning_n then_o what_o you_o and_o many_o other_o allot_v to_o they_o christ_n blood_n may_v be_v say_v to_o
