proceed_v with_o full_a scope_n against_o he_o p._n 175_o reason_n 1._o that_o which_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n do_v willing_o submit_v himself_o to_o without_o sin_n that_o god_n the_o father_n may_v just_o charge_v upon_o he_o p._n 176_o reason_n 2._o because_o the_o justice_n of_o god_n require_v this_o at_o the_o hand_n of_o jesus_n christ_n that_o he_o shall_v take_v the_o guilt_n of_o sinner_n upon_o himself_o p._n 177_o reason_n 3._o because_o herein_o be_v abundant_o magnify_v the_o love_n and_o mercy_n of_o christ_n p._n 179_o use_v 1._o it_o be_v a_o word_n of_o instruction_n to_o the_o saint_n if_o god_n the_o father_n have_v lay_v thy_o sin_n upon_o christ_n then_o do_v not_o thou_o take_v they_o from_o he_o to_o thyself_o p._n 180_o how_o far_o a_o believer_n may_v charge_v himself_o with_o his_o sin_n do_v appear_v in_o these_o four_o conclusion_n conclusion_n 1._o every_o believer_n be_v bind_v to_o see_v and_o examine_v the_o sinful_a carriage_n of_o his_o soul_n and_o to_o judge_v that_o it_o have_v power_n to_o make_v he_o guilty_a and_o also_o to_o condemn_v he_o p._n 182_o conclusion_n 2._o every_o believe_a soul_n justify_v aught_o to_o

every_o believer_n accept_v and_o justify_v in_o and_o through_o christ_n by_o the_o father_n yet_o he_o be_v thus_o far_o bind_v to_o charge_v his_o sin_n upon_o himself_o as_o to_o maintain_v in_o his_o own_o heart_n a_o sense_n of_o the_o need_n that_o he_o have_v of_o christ_n as_o well_o to_o continue_v his_o respect_n and_o acceptation_n with_o god_n as_o to_o bring_v he_o at_o first_o into_o the_o love_n and_o favour_n of_o god_n p._n 187_o conclusion_n 4._o thus_o far_o the_o saint_n of_o god_n ought_v to_o go_v in_o charge_v their_o own_o soul_n with_o their_o sin_n so_o far_o to_o see_v they_o and_o to_o be_v affect_v with_o they_o as_o to_o bring_v their_o heart_n to_o be_v true_o carry_v with_o hatred_n against_o they_o and_o with_o resolution_n to_o get_v power_n and_o strength_n against_o they_o p._n 189_o how_o far_o a_o believer_n may_v not_o charge_v himself_o with_o his_o sin_n may_v be_v conceive_v in_o these_o two_o conclusion_n conclusion_n 1._o a_o believer_n shall_v not_o in_o his_o judgement_n conceive_v nor_o in_o his_o heart_n be_v persuade_v that_o any_o sin_n nor_o all_o his_o sin_n shall_v ever_o be_v able_a to_o fasten_v the_o guilt_n of_o sin_n upon_o he_o so_o as_o to_o cause_v revenge_v justice_n to_o proceed_v against_o he_o to_o his_o condemnation_n p._n 192_o use_v 2._o it_o be_v a_o word_n of_o terror_n to_o all_o unbeliever_n they_o be_v destitute_a of_o all_o hope_n of_o the_o pardon_n of_o their_o sin_n p._n 197_o use_v 3_o it_o be_v a_o word_n of_o exhortation_n to_o the_o saint_n be_v christ_n make_v sin_n for_o thou_o then_o be_v thou_o content_a to_o be_v make_v shame_n for_o he_o p._n 200_o use_v 4._o it_o be_v a_o word_n of_o comfort_n to_o all_o the_o faithful_a learn_v to_o cast_v all_o thy_o sin_n on_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n doctrine_n 4._o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n suffer_v full_o whatsoever_o punishment_n divine_a justice_n require_v or_o be_v deserve_v by_o the_o sin_n
that_o christ_n charge_v they_o upon_o himself_o they_o both_o make_v a_o compact_n that_o poor_a lose_a man_n shall_v be_v save_v and_o christ_n submit_v and_o be_v content_v to_o bear_v their_o sin_n and_o to_o have_v the_o law_n proceed_v against_o he_o now_o i_o come_v to_o the_o reason_n why_o god_n the_o father_n do_v charge_v the_o sin_n of_o all_o the_o faithful_a upon_o christ_n the_o reason_n be_v three_o and_o i_o reason_n from_o the_o explication_n thus_o reason_n 1_o first_o that_o which_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n do_v willing_o yield_v and_o subm●●imselfe_n to_o without_o sin_n that_o god_n the_o father_n may_v lay_v upon_o he_o without_o any_o wrong_n and_o may_v charge_v it_o upon_o he_o as_o due_a debt_n i_o say_v what_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n do_v willing_o submit_v himself_o to_o without_o any_o dishonour_n to_o himself_o that_o god_n the_o father_n may_v just_o charge_v upon_o he_o but_o our_o saviour_n do_v willing_o submit_v himself_o to_o the_o divine_a justice_n of_o god_n the_o father_n to_o take_v their_o sin_n and_o to_o bear_v their_o sorrow_n and_o to_o be_v in_o the_o room_n of_o a_o sinner_n he_o come_v voluntary_o in_o our_o room_n and_o therefore_o be_v under_o the_o law_n and_o be_v our_o scapegoat_n the_o father_n may_v just_o lay_v and_o charge_v our_o debt_n upon_o he_o because_o he_o have_v take_v they_o upon_o himself_o he_o that_o will_v enter_v into_o bond_n with_o the_o creditor_n and_o free_a the_o debtor_n it_o be_v very_o equal_a that_o the_o creditor_n proceed_v against_o he_o as_o against_o the_o debtor_n reason_n 2_o second_o the_o justice_n of_o god_n require_v this_o at_o the_o hand_n of_o jesus_n christ_n to_o wit_n that_o he_o shall_v not_o only_o suffer_v for_o sinner_n but_o also_o take_v the_o very_a guilt_n of_o sinner_n upon_o himself_o by_o imputation_n and_o be_v in_o their_o room_n and_o that_o the_o justice_n of_o god_n do_v require_v this_o at_o the_o hand_n of_o christ_n may_v thus_o be_v conceive_v the_o anger_n justice_n and_o severity_n of_o god_n be_v manifest_v in_o the_o fall_n of_o man_n for_o when_o man_n back_o sin_v and_o fall_v than_o anger_n and_o justice_n begin_v to_o work_v and_o now_o adam_n see_v god_n to_o be_v a_o angry_a and_o a_o just_a god_n now_o the_o glory_n of_o those_o attribute_n appear_v and_o now_o all_o the_o complaint_n stand_v upon_o mercy_n side_n and_o therefore_o mercy_n appeal_v to_o the_o great_a court_n in_o heaven_n and_o then_o it_o say_v wisdom_n and_o power_n and_o goodness_n have_v all_o be_v manifest_v in_o the_o creation_n and_o anger_n and_o justice_n they_o have_v be_v glorify_v in_o the_o fall_n of_o adam_n but_o i_o have_v not_o yet_o be_v manifest_v oh_o let_v some_o poor_a soul_n be_v comfort_v and_o save_v that_o they_o may_v know_v there_o be_v a_o merciful_a god_n and_o then_o the_o case_n be_v debate_v only_a justice_n step_n in_o and_o take_v itself_o as_o wrong_v it_o be_v true_a say_v justice_n it_o be_v fit_a that_o mercy_n shall_v be_v honour_v yet_o it_o be_v not_o fit_a that_o i_o shall_v be_v wrong_v must_v my_o glory_n be_v injure_v will_v you_o have_v a_o company_n of_o sinful_a rebel_n pardon_v and_o forgive_v when_o they_o have_v thus_o abuse_v holiness_n and_o goodness_n and_o resist_v the_o will_n of_o god_n nay_o except_o they_o be_v punish_v i_o can_v have_v my_o due_n mercy_n must_v be_v honour_v but_o yet_o justice_n must_v not_o be_v wrong_v now_o god_n be_v a_o just_a god_n and_o he_o must_v give_v every_o one_o their_o due_a glory_n to_o who_o glory_n belong_v and_o justice_n to_o who_o justice_n belong_v justice_n must_v not_o be_v offend_v but_o must_v be_v apay_v and_o have_v its_o right_a this_o be_v the_o controversy_n therefore_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n step_v in_o and_o make_v up_o all_o even_a on_o both_o side_n and_o there_o be_v a_o way_n devise_v whereby_o justice_n may_v be_v full_o satisfy_v and_o yet_o mercy_n magnify_v and_o so_o much_o the_o more_o be_v mercy_n magnify_v by_o how_o much_o justice_n be_v wrong_v then_o christ_n come_v in_o and_o say_v that_o justice_n shall_v punish_v all_o unbeliever_n and_o so_o it_o shall_v be_v satisfy_v for_o all_o the_o wrong_n do_v to_o it_o and_o mercy_n shall_v be_v magnify_v upon_o the_o believe_a soul_n because_o the_o believer_n be_v not_o able_a to_o bear_v divine_a justice_n himself_o therefore_o christ_n jesus_n be_v content_v to_o be_v account_v guilty_a that_o justice_n may_v inflict_v punishment_n upon_o he_o as_o deserve_v it_o for_o otherwise_o to_o punish_v the_o innocent_a and_o to_o acquit_v the_o guilty_a will_v not_o stand_v with_o justice_n now_o therefore_o that_o justice_n may_v have_v his_o due_a from_o he_o and_o yet_o do_v he_o no_o wrong_n therefore_o he_o be_v content_a to_o be_v account_v guilty_a and_o though_o he_o be_v innocent_a yet_o he_o be_v content_v to_o be_v account_v noce●_n now_o if_o god_n in_o justice_n require_v punishment_n of_o our_o saviour_n than_o the_o same_o justice_n must_v account_v our_o saviour_n as_o guilty_a otherwise_o he_o shall_v punish_v the_o innocent_a which_o he_o can_v in_o justice_n do_v but_o god_n the_o father_n do_v punish_v christ_n jesus_n for_o justice_n be_v satisfy_v by_o the_o punishment_n therefore_o it_o be_v requisite_a that_o he_o shall_v be_v under_o the_o law_n also_o god_n in_o justice_n must_v account_v he_o guilty_a that_o in_o justice_n he_o may_v be_v punish_v so_o the_o issue_n be_v this_o if_o god_n the_o father_n do_v in_o justice_n punish_v christ_n than_o it_o be_v require_v that_o he●_n shall_v be_v account_v as_o guilty_a and_o under_o the_o law_n but_o the_o father_n do_v do_v it_o therefore_o he_o do_v account_v he_o as_o a_o sinner_n and_o as_o guilty_a and_o do_v lay_v their_o sin_n unto_o his_o charge_n reason_n 3_o three_o the_o three_o argument_n be_v take_v from_o the_o love_n and_o mercy_n of_o jesus_n christ_n which_o abundant_o be_v magnify_v herein_o in_o take_v upon_o he_o the_o room_n of_o a_o sinner_n for_o whatsoever_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n can_v do_v for_o a_o poor_a sinner_n without_o sin_n that_o he_o do_v do_v in_o the_o pardon_n of_o sin_n but_o this_o christ_n may_v do_v without_o sin_n and_o be_v do_v thereof_o may_v express_v abundance_n of_o love_n not_o only_o to_o lay_v down_o his_o life_n for_o we_o but_o to_o veil_v his_o innocence_n for_o we_o he_o be_v account_v a_o malefactor_n and_o a_o sinner_n for_o we_o this_o be_v the_o high_a pitch_n of_o admirable_a love_n that_o can_v be_v for_o the_o low_a the_o degree_n of_o his_o abasement_n be_v the_o great_a be_v his_o love_n for_o it_o be_v one_o thing_n to_o die_v and_o it_o be_v another_o thing_n to_o veil_v his_o honour_n and_o holiness_n and_o he_o that_o be_v god_n equal_a with_o the_o father_n to_o be_v account_v as_o guilty_a of_o sin_n this_o argue_v marvellous_a mercy_n and_o love_n therefore_o it_o be_v fit_a that_o it_o shall_v be_v take_v use_v 1_o the_o first_o use_n be_v a_o word_n of_o instruction_n to_o all_o the_o faithful_a of_o god_n they_o be_v to_o learn_v this_o point_n of_o wisdom_n be_v it_o so_o that_o god_n the_o father_n have_v lay_v thy_o sin_n upon_o jesus_n christ_n do_v the_o guilt_n of_o they_o lie_v there_o and_o have_v christ_n take_v they_o and_o the_o guilt_n of_o they_o upon_o himself_o and_o the_o condemnation_n due_a unto_o the_o same_o then_o do_v thou_o not_o take_v they_o from_o he_o to_o thyself_o therefore_o what_o the_o jew_n do_v with_o the_o sacrifice_n so_o do_v you_o with_o a_o saviour_n leviticus_n 16.21_o when_o aaron_n come_v to_o offer_v up_o the_o scapegoat_n he_o lay_v both_o his_o hand_n upon_o he_o with_o all_o his_o
