have_v satisfaction_n for_o such_o a_o evil_a as_o this_o shall_v the_o brutal_a world_n be_v a_o sacrifice_n for_o the_o rational_a alas_o the_o blood_n of_o bull_n and_o goat_n can_v take_v away_o sin_n can_v the_o captive_n do_v aught_o in_o it_o can_v he_o wear_v off_o his_o chain_n with_o repentant_a tear_n or_o work_v they_o off_o with_o after-holiness_n alas_o the_o captive_n be_v in_o

or_o salt_n in_o some_o measure_n and_o therefore_o want_v a_o laver_n that_o holiness_n in_o comparison_n of_o spotless_a perfection_n will_v be_v but_o as_o a_o filthy_a rag_n and_o therefore_o

as_o be_v pure_a linen_n fine_a and_o white_a without_o any_o spot_n in_o it_o yet_o all_o this_o must_v be_v of_o free_a grace_n and_o nothing_o of_o his_o own_o and_o then_o how_o can_v he_o who_o

there_o be_v no_o proportion_n at_o all_o between_o finite_a and_o infinite_a but_o you_o will_v say_v sin_n be_v infinite_a objective_o and_o so_o be_v repentance_n and_o holiness_n too_o therefore_o they_o may_v satisfy_v for_o sin_n i_o answer_v the_o difference_n be_v vast_a for_o sin_n be_v measure_v by_o the_o object_n and_o therefore_o be_v against_o a_o infinite_a god_n be_v in_o a_o sort_n infinite_a but_o satisfaction_n be_v measure_v by_o the_o subject_a and_o therefore_o repentance_n and_o holiness_n be_v subjective_o finite_a can_v satisfy_v for_o sin_n but_o you_o will_v yet_o reply_v these_o grace_n flow_v from_o a_o infinite_a spirit_n and_o therefore_o may_v satisfy_v for_o sin_n i_o answer_v this_o be_v the_o grand_a disproportion_n between_o those_o work_n which_o christ_n work_v for_o we_o as_o a_o surety_n and_o those_o work_n which_o the_o spirit_n work_v in_o we_o as_o a_o sanctifier_n in_o the_o first_o there_o be_v god_n and_o man_n in_o one_o person_n and_o therefore_o they_o be_v of_o a_o infinite_a dignity_n but_o not_o so_o in_o the_o second_o and_o therefore_o they_o be_v but_o of_o a_o finite_a value_n the_o forlorn_a captive_n can_v by_o no_o mean_n help_v himself_o and_o what_o shall_v he_o do_v shall_v he_o pray_v in_o aid_n of_o the_o holy_a angel_n but_o o_o what_o tremble_a fit_n will_v there_o be_v in_o they_o what_o paleness_n in_o the_o cherubim_v at_o such_o a_o task_n but_o suppose_v they_o can_v all_o be_v induce_v to_o become_v a_o sacrifice_n for_o we_o will_v the_o holy_a one_o open_v his_o eye_n upon_o such_o a_o
