antecedent_n or_o mean_n of_o atonement_n but_o a_o concurrent_a part_n of_o atonement_n these_o reason_n beside_o what_o other_o may_v be_v add_v do_v sufficient_o prove_v that_o god_n gracious_a

3._o 9_o shall_v cite_v it_o to_o prove_v the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n as_o our_o surety_n to_o the_o moral_a law_n see_v there_o be_v no_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n express_v in_o this_o

have_v take_v pain_n to_o make_v it_o evident_a that_o god_n gracious_a pardon_n be_v a_o sinner_n righteousness_n be_v to_o my_o apprehension_n somewhat_o strange_a this_o righteousness_n of_o god_n say_v p._n martyr_n as_o i_o have_v note_v he_o a_o little_a before_o be_v far_o distant_a from_o the_o righteousness_n that_o be_v know_v by_o nature_n for_o neither_o reason_n nor_o philosophy_n

positive_a law_n than_o he_o may_v soon_o see_v that_o god_n have_v ordain_v a_o righteousness_n for_o believe_a sinner_n by_o his_o reconciliation_n only_o and_o not_o by_o the_o righteousness_n of_o the_o moral_a law_n as_o the_o principle_n of_o natural_a reason_n be_v apt_a to_o judge_v for_o the_o principle_n of_o natural_a reason_n can_v think_v of_o a_o righteousness_n for_o sinner_n by_o

for_o all_o this_o it_o be_v a_o question_n of_o some_o moment_n in_o what_o sense_n he_o that_o be_v hang_v be_v call_v the_o curse_n of_o god_n i_o he_o still_o the_o object_n of_o god_n curse_n

but_o to_o bury_v he_o the_o same_o day_n to_o cover_v and_o hide_v his_o carcase_n in_o the_o earth_n from_o further_a public_a shame_n and_o ignominy_n because_o he_o have_v already_o satisfy_v

do_v declare_v and_o thus_o their_o life_n be_v redeem_v with_o a_o price_n and_o yet_o material_o it_o be_v not_o the_o full_a price_n of_o their_o life_n but_o formal_o it_o be_v the_o full_a

any_o thing_n to_o be_v a_o full_a formal_a price_n in_o his_o own_o sight_n and_o on_o the_o contrary_a that_o nothing_o that_o be_v never_o so_o valuable_a in_o our_o eye_n can_v be_v make_v a_o full_a price_n formal_o in_o his_o esteem_n without_o his_o voluntary_a positive_a law_n and_o covenant_n do_v concur_v thereto_o conclusion_n from_o my_o several_a reply_v to_o the_o say_v three_o question_n 1_o hence_o it_o follow_v that_o god_n do_v not_o forsake_v christ_n in_o the_o formality_n of_o his_o death_n on_o the_o cross_n namely_o he_o do_v not_o so_o forsake_v he_o as_o to_o suffer_v his_o humane_a nature_n to_o be_v put_v to_o death_n formal_o by_o the_o power_n of_o satan_n torture_a pain_n neither_o do_v he_o appoint_v his_o death_n to_o be_v make_v a_o sacrifice_n by_o his_o own_o immediate_a wrath_n but_o only_o by_o christ_n own_o priestly_a power_n 2_o hence_o it_o follow_v that_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n in_o the_o formality_n of_o it_o be_v accept_v of_o god_n as_o a_o mediatorial_n sacrifice_n of_o reconciliation_n by_o which_o his_o wrath_n be_v appease_v and_o his_o favour_n procure_v to_o all_o poor_a humble_a and_o believe_a sinner_n he_o be_v the_o mediator_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n through_o his_o death_n because_o he_o complete_v the_o same_o as_o our_o mediatorial_n priest_n by_o the_o joint_a concurrence_n of_o both_o his_o nature_n in_o personal_a union_n and_o in_o that_o
