perfect_a tabernacle_n by_o which_o be_v sacrifice_v and_o offer_v up_o to_o god_n he_o enter_v heaven_n and_o open_v it_o for_o believer_n it_o be_v call_v a_o great_a tabernacle_n because_o it_o

conceive_v in_o the_o womb_n of_o a_o virgin_n by_o the_o over_o shadow_v of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o it_o be_v great_a also_o because_o not_o the_o glory_n of_o the_o lord_n fill_v it_o only_o as_o it_o do_v the_o tabernacle_n make_v in_o the_o wilderness_n but_o because_o the_o fullness_n of_o the_o godhead_n dwell_v in_o he_o bodily_a and_o by_o this_o great_a tabernacle_n he_o obtain_v eternal_a redemption_n for_o we_o and_o enter_v into_o heaven_n to_o take_v possession_n of_o glory_n for_o we_o why_o do_v not_o god_n delight_v in_o burnt-offering_a but_o christ_n must_v come_v the_o reason_n be_v render_v it_o be_v to_o do_v the_o will_n of_o god_n the_o will_n of_o god_n be_v to_o have_v his_o truth_n satisfy_v his_o law_n satisfy_v his_o righteousness_n satisfy_v that_o upon_o just_a and_o holy_a and_o honourable_a term_n he_o may_v be_v reconcile_v this_o be_v the_o will_n of_o god_n this_o will_n burnt-offering_n and_o sin-offering_n can_v not_o accomplish_v christ_n must_v therefore_o come_v to_o satisfy_v it_o and_o to_o fulfil_v it_o therefore_o it_o be_v say_v not_o by_o the_o blood_n of_o goat_n and_o calf_n but_o by_o his_o own_o blood_n he_o enter_v once_o into_o the_o holy_a place_n heb._n 9_o 12._o and_o in_o ver_fw-la 13_o 14._o it_o be_v say_v if_o the_o blood_n of_o bull_n and_o goat_n do_v cleanse_v the_o flesh_n be_v type_n of_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n how_o much_o rather_o shall_v the_o blood_n of_o christ_n cleanse_v the_o conscience_n if_o all_o have_v depend_v upon_o institution_n and_o that_o there_o have_v be_v no_o respect_n have_v by_o god_n of_o a_o full_a satisfaction_n the_o blood_n of_o bull_n and_o goat_n may_v have_v be_v as_o effectual_a to_o have_v cleanse_v not_o the_o outside_n but_o the_o conscience_n equal_o as_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n if_o the_o virtue_n of_o cleanse_v have_v not_o depend_v upon_o the_o excellency_n of_o the_o person_n who_o blood_n it_o be_v that_o do_v cleanse_v there_o will_v have_v be_v no_o difference_n betwixt_o the_o blood_n that_o do_v cleanse_v therefore_o the_o value_n of_o the_o blood_n in_o reference_n to_o the_o person_n who_o it_o be_v fall_v under_o the_o consideration_n of_o god_n in_o the_o business_n of_o remission_n but_o he_o say_v the_o foundation_n that_o i_o build_v upon_o be_v not_o a_o little_a questionable_a and_o that_o not_o a_o few_o error_n do_v lie_v under_o my_o non_fw-la scriptural_a language_n you_o tell_v we_o say_v he_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 so_o much_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_n 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 what_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 rep._n the_o foundation_n

to_o have_v present_v they_o unto_o view_n yea_o i_o believe_v he_o have_v do_v it_o so_o far_o as_o his_o fancy_n have_v suggest_v any_o to_o he_o which_o whether_o they_o will_v prove_v to_o be_v

it_o or_o his_o answer_n be_v not_o impertinent_a and_o no_o answer_n to_o any_o thing_n wherein_o the_o strength_n of_o my_o argument_n lie_v or_o whether_o it_o be_v not_o rather_o a_o shuffle_n and_o a_o shift_a than_o a_o answer_v let_v any_o intelligent_a impartial_a person_n judge_n he_o have_v be_v wont_a to_o draw_v up_o my_o argument_n into_o form_n when_o he_o have_v apprehend_v a_o advantage_n by_o it_o but_o at_o other_o time_n pretermit_v it_o i_o shall_v therefore_o do_v it_o for_o he_o at_o this_o time_n he_o call_v it_o a_o query_n and_o it_o run_v in_o that_o form_n but_o the_o strength_n of_o this_o argument_n be_v in_o it_o if_o christ_n be_v a_o mere_a creature_n than_o a_o sacrifice_n finite_a in_o value_n will_v be_v able_a to_o satisfy_v a_o infinite_a justice_n offend_v but_o a_o sacrifice_n finite_a in_o value_n can_v satisfy_v a_o infinite_a justice_n offend_v ergo_fw-la christ_n be_v not_o a_o mere_a creature_n he_o answer_v not_o to_o either_o of_o these_o proposition_n nor_o indeed_o can_v do_v without_o run_v into_o absurdity_n for_o first_o the_o consequence_n be_v firm_a and_o good_a which_o will_v be_v manifest_a if_o these_o five_o thing_n be_v make_v out_o 1._o that_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o a_o mere_a creature_n neither_o be_v nor_o can_v be_v any_o other_o then_o finite_a in_o value_n which_o none_o will_v doubt_v of_o if_o they_o consider_v that_o a_o mere_a creature_n be_v only_o finite_a and_o can_v be_v nothing_o more_o and_o if_o so_o than_o the_o act_n of_o it_o be_v according_a to_o the_o nature_n of_o it_o finite_a also_o both_o in_o their_o nature_n and_o in_o their_o value_n &_o worth_n for_o nothing_o can_v act_v beyond_o itself_o and_o this_o i_o believe_v he_o will_v not_o deny_v 2._o that_o the_o justice_n of_o god_n be_v infinite_a which_o because_o it_o be_v a_o attribute_n of_o god_n and_o be_v god_n for_o what_o ever_o be_v in_o god_n be_v god_n must_v needs_o be_v grant_v because_o god_n himself_o be_v infinite_a and_o indeed_o god_n can_v be_v compound_v of_o thing_n that_o be_v finite_a for_o a_o infinite_a be_v be_v never_o make_v up_o of_o finite_a thing_n so_o that_o all_o in_o god_n be_v infinite_a and_o that_o which_o be_v finite_a be_v limit_v and_o that_o which_o be_v limit_v be_v limit_v by_o another_o which_o be_v great_a than_o it_o and_o can_v limit_v it_o but_o both_o these_o be_v incompetent_a to_o god_n who_o be_v great_a than_o all_o &_o limit_n all_o but_o be_v limit_v of_o none_o 3._o that_o this_o infinite_a justice_n be_v offend_v which_o be_v manifest_a because_o 1._o a_o just_a and_o holy_a law_n be_v break_v 2._o a_o righteous_a and_o just_a penalty_n propose_v to_o warn_v man_n lest_o he_o shall_v transgress_v be_v slight_v and_o despise_v 3._o man_n be_v immediate_o upon_o the_o transgression_n judge_v and_o sentence_v with_o death_n and_o expulse_v paradise_n 4_o because_o this_o law_n be_v god_n which_o be_v transgress_v and_o the_o penalty_n that_o be_v threaten_v and_o be_v despise_v be_v god_n also_o therefore_o the_o offence_n in_o transgress_v and_o despise_v be_v infinite_a though_o not_o in_o the_o nature_n of_o it_o yet_o in_o relation_n to_o such_o a_o god_n who_o be_v infinite_a which_o will_v farther_o appear_v if_o this_o be_v grant_v which_o in_o reason_n can_v be_v deny_v that_o fault_n commit_v receive_v their_o aggravation_n as_o from_o the_o matter_n and_o manner_n of_o commit_v and_o from_o the_o end_n and_o design_n so_o from_o the_o object_n or_o person_n against_o who_o commit_v the_o great_a &_o more_o excellent_a the_o person_n be_v against_o who_o the_o transgression_n be_v the_o great_a be_v the_o transgression_n therefore_o if_o against_o a_o prince_n it_o be_v a_o high_a aggravation_n and_o it_o count_v treason_n and_o a_o more_o grievous_a death_n be_v inflict_v and_o if_o it_o be_v a_o high_a crime_n against_o he_o it_o be_v endeavour_v that_o his_o death_n may_v be_v perpetuate_v therefore_o his_o torment_n be_v prolong_v and_o this_o be_v judge_v righteousness_n in_o the_o person_n that_o inflict_v such_o punishment_n in_o reference_n to_o such_o transgression_n and_o yet_o the_o high_a of_o man_n be_v person_n that_o must_v die_v and_o their_o breath_n be_v in_o their_o nostril_n and_o they_o be_v not_o only_o finite_a but_o their_o life_n be_v like_a bubble_n upon_o the_o water_n and_o in_o comparison_n
