mean_v of_o the_o righteousness_n of_o god_n that_o be_v the_o punishment_n due_a to_o sin_n by_o virtue_n of_o god_n justice_n for_o it_o be_v all_o one_o punishment_n that_o be_v due_a by_o virtue_n of_o divine_a justice_n or_o by_o virtue_n of_o the_o threaten_v law_n now_o this_o punishment_n due_a by_o law_n be_v say_v to_o be_v fulfil_v in_o we_o by_o god_n punish_v sin_n in_o christ_n for_o though_o god_n do_v dispense_v so_o far_o with_o the_o severe_a threaten_v of_o the_o law_n as_o that_o he_o will_v not_o inflict_v that_o severe_a punishment_n on_o the_o transgressor_n himself_o yet_o these_o severe_a punishment_n for_o kind_n that_o be_v threaten_v by_o the_o law_n against_o transgressor_n god_n in_o punish_v christ_n he_o inflict_v these_o upon_o he_o and_o therefore_o
