so_o long_o as_o sin_n remain_v the_o guilt_n of_o punishment_n remain_v he_o must_v be_v everlasting_o punish_v if_o he_o suffer_v the_o punishment_n due_a to_o his_o everlasting_a sin_n and_o consequent_o that_o he_o can_v so_o suffer_v the_o punishment_n due_a to_o his_o actual_a sin_n as_o have_v satisfy_v the_o wrath_n and_o justice_n of_o god_n to_o free_v himself_o from_o the_o same_o if_o it_o be_v say_v that_o by_o grace_n he_o may_v cease_v from_o sin_v and_o so_o suffer_v the_o punishment_n due_a to_o sin_n so_o cease_v and_o not_o eternal_a it_o will_v be_v reply_v that_o god_n give_v not_o his_o grace_n to_o any_o till_o his_o justice_n be_v first_o satisfy_v and_o a_o reconciliation_n procure_v for_o he_o give_v it_o to_o his_o friend_n not_o to_o his_o enemy_n touch_v the_o second_o thing_n that_o be_v to_o be_v do_v for_o man_n deliverance_n which_o be_v the_o make_n up_o of_o the_o breach_n make_v upon_o the_o nature_n of_o man_n &_o the_o free_v he_o from_o the_o impurity_n of_o inherent_a sin_n that_o so_o the_o punishment_n due_a to_o sin_n past_o be_v feel_v and_o suffer_v he_o may_v be_v reconcile_v to_o god_n it_o can_v not_o be_v perform_v by_o any_o mere_a creature_n whatsoever_o for_o as_o all_o fell_a in_o adam_n the_o root_n and_o beginning_n of_o natural_a be_v who_o receive_v the_o treasure_n of_o righteousness_n and_o holiness_n for_o himself_o and_o those_o that_o by_o propagation_n be_v to_o come_v of_o he_o so_o their_o restauration_n can_v not_o be_v wrought_v but_o by_o he_o that_o shall_v be_v the_o root_n fountain_n and_o beginning_n of_o supernatural_a and_o spiritual_a be_v in_o who_o the_o whole_a nature_n of_o mankind_n shall_v be_v find_v in_o a_o more_o eminent_a sort_n than_o it_o be_v in_o adam_n as_o indeed_o it_o be_v in_o the_o second_o adam_n 16._o of_o who_o fullness_n we_o all_o receive_v grace_n for_o grace_n and_o this_o sure_o be_v the_o reason_n why_o it_o be_v no_o injustice_n in_o god_n to_o lay_v upon_o he_o the_o punishment_n due_a to_o our_o sin_n and_o why_o his_o suffering_n do_v free_a we_o from_o the_o same_o it_o be_v no_o way_n just_a that_o one_o man_n have_v no_o special_a communion_n with_o another_o shall_v suffer_v punishment_n for_o another_o man_n fault_n but_o the_o whole_a nature_n of_o man_n be_v find_v in_o he_o in_o a_o more_o eminent_a sort_n then_o either_o in_o adam_n or_o any_o one_o of_o they_o that_o come_v of_o he_o &_o he_o have_v undertake_v to_o free_a &_o deliver_v it_o it_o be_v just_a &_o right_o he_o shall_v feel_v the_o misery_n it_o be_v subject_a unto_o &_o that_o be_v feel_v and_o sustain_v by_o he_o in_o such_o sort_n as_o be_v sufficient_a to_o satisfy_v divine_a justice_n they_o shall_v not_o be_v impose_v or_o lay_v on_o us._n hereupon_o some_o have_v say_v that_o christ_n be_v make_v sin_n not_o by_o act_v or_o contract_v sin_n for_o so_o to_o say_v be_v horrible_a blasphemy_n but_o by_o take_v on_o he_o the_o guilt_n of_o all_o man_n sin_n which_o yet_o be_v wise_o to_o be_v understand_v lest_o we_o run_v into_o error_n for_o whereas_o the_o guilt_n of_o sin_n imply_v two_o thing_n a_o worthiness_n to_o be_v punish_v &_o a_o destination_n unto_o punishment_n the_o former_a imply_v demerit_n natural_a or_o personal_a in_o he_o that_o be_v so_o worthy_a to_o be_v punish_v &_o this_o can_v not_o be_v in_o christ_n the_o other_o which_o be_v obligatio_fw-la ad_fw-la poenam_fw-la a_o be_v subject_a unto_o punishment_n may_v grow_v from_o some_o communion_n with_o he_o or_o they_o that_o be_v worthy_a to_o be_v punish_v and_o in_o this_o sense_n some_o say_v christ_n take_v the_o guilt_n of_o our_o sin_n not_o by_o act_v or_o contract_v sin_n but_o by_o communion_n with_o sinner_n though_o not_o in_o sin_n yet_o in_o that_o nature_n which_o in_o they_o be_v sinful_a &_o guilty_a as_o those_o good_a man_n that_o be_v part_n of_o a_o sinful_a city_n be_v just_o subject_a to_o the_o punishment_n due_a to_o that_o city_n not_o in_o that_o they_o have_v fellowship_n with_o it_o in_o evil_a but_o in_o that_o they_o be_v part_n of_o it_o be_v evil_a as_o the_o son_n of_o a_o traitor_n be_v just_o subject_a to_o the_o grievous_a punishment_n of_o forfeit_v the_o inheritance_n that_o shall_v have_v descend_v upon_o he_o from_o his_o father_n though_o he_o no_o way_n concur_v with_o he_o in_o his_o treason_n in_o respect_n of_o his_o nearness_n &_o communion_n with_o he_o of_o who_o he_o be_v as_o it_o be_v a_o part_n whereupon_o all_o divine_n resolve_v that_o man_n altogether_o innocent_a yet_o live_v as_o part_n of_o the_o society_n of_o wicked_a man_n be_v just_o subject_a to_o those_o temporal_a punishment_n those_o society_n be_v worthy_a of_o &_o that_o the_o reason_n why_o one_o man_n can_v be_v subject_a to_o those_o spiritual_a punishment_n which_o other_o deserve_v be_v for_o that_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o spirit_n &_o inward_a man_n they_o have_v no_o such_o derivation_n from_o dependence_n on_o or_o communion_n with_o other_o as_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o outward_a man_n they_o have_v wherefore_o to_o conclude_v this_o point_n we_o may_v safe_o resolve_v that_o no_o other_o can_v satisfy_v divine_a justice_n and_o suffer_v the_o punishment_n due_a to_o sin_n in_o such_o sort_n as_o to_o free_v we_o from_o the_o same_o but_o christ_n the_o son_n of_o god_n in_o who_o our_o nature_n by_o personal_a union_n be_v find_v in_o a_o excellent_a sort_n and_o that_o it_o be_v right_a and_o just_a that_o have_v take_v our_o nature_n upon_o he_o &_o undertake_v to_o free_a and_o deliver_v the_o same_o he_o shall_v suffer_v &_o endure_v whatsoever_o punishment_n it_o be_v subject_a unto_o for_o the_o illustration_n of_o this_o point_n the_o learned_a observe_v that_o send_v when_o god_n create_v adam_n he_o give_v he_o all_o excellent_a &_o precious_a virtue_n as_o truth_n to_o instruct_v he_o justice_n to_o direct_v he_o mercy_n to_o preserve_v he_o and_o peace_n to_o delight_v he_o with_o all_o please_a correspondence_n but_o that_o when_o he_o fall_v away_o &_o forget_v all_o the_o good_a which_o god_n have_v do_v for_o he_o these_o virtue_n leave_v their_o low_a dwelling_n and_o speedy_o return_v back_o to_o he_o that_o give_v they_o make_v report_n what_o be_v fall_v out_o on_o earth_n and_o earnest_o move_v the_o almighty_a concern_v this_o his_o wretched_a and_o forlorn_a creature_n yet_o in_o very_o different_a sort_n and_o manner_n for_o justice_n plead_v for_o the_o condemnation_n of_o sinful_a man_n and_o call_v for_o the_o punishment_n he_o have_v worthy_o deserve_v and_o truth_n require_v the_o performance_n of_o that_o which_o god_n have_v threaten_v but_o mercy_n entreat_v for_o miserable_a man_n make_v out_o of_o the_o dust_n of_o the_o earth_n seduce_v by_o satan_n and_o beguile_v with_o the_o show_v of_o seem_v good_a &_o peace_n no_o less_o careful_o seek_v to_o pacify_v the_o wrath_n of_o the_o displease_a god_n and_o to_o reconcile_v the_o creature_n to_o the_o creator_n when_o god_n have_v hear_v the_o contrary_a plea_n and_o desire_n of_o these_o most_o excellent_a orator_n and_o there_o be_v no_o other_o mean_n to_o give_v they_o all_o satisfaction_n it_o be_v resolve_v on_o in_o the_o high_a council_n of_o the_o bless_a trinity_n that_o one_o of_o those_o sacred_a person_n shall_v become_v man_n that_o by_o take_v to_o he_o the_o nature_n of_o man_n he_o may_v partake_v in_o his_o misery_n and_o be_v subject_a to_o his_o punishment_n and_o by_o conjoin_v his_o divine_a nature_n and_o perfection_n with_o the_o same_o may_v fill_v it_o with_o all_o grace_n and_o heavenly_a excellency_n thus_o be_v the_o desire_n of_o these_o so_o contrary_a petitioner_n satisfy_v for_o man_n be_v punish_v as_o god_n justice_n urge_v that_o be_v perform_v which_o god_n have_v threaten_v as_o truth_n require_v the_o offender_n be_v pity_v as_o mercy_n entreat_v and_o god_n &_o man_n reconcile_v as_o peace_n desire_v and_o so_o be_v fulfil_v that_o of_o the_o psalmist_n 10._o mercy_n and_o truth_n be_v meet_v together_o righteousness_n and_o peace_n have_v kiss_v each_o other_o wherefore_o now_o let_v we_o proceed_v to_o see_v which_o of_o the_o person_n of_o the_o bless_a trinity_n be_v think_v fit_a to_o be_v send_v into_o the_o world_n to_o perform_v this_o work_n not_o the_o father_n for_o be_v of_o none_o he_o can_v not_o be_v send_v not_o the_o holy_a ghost_n for_o though_o he_o proceed_v yet_o he_o be_v not_o the_o first_o proceed_n person_n and_o therefore_o whereas_o a_o double_a mission_n be_v necessary_a the_o one_o to_o reconcile_v the_o other_o to_o give_v gift_n to_o reconcile_a friend_n the_o first_o proceed_n person_n be_v fit_a for_o
