very_o great_a reason_n to_o oppose_v this_o principle_n which_o give_v such_o boundless_a scope_n to_o man_n fancy_n and_o allow_v every_o man_n to_o frame_v and_o mould_n a_o religion_n according_a to_o his_o own_o humour_n and_o be_v the_o more_o confirm_v in_o this_o when_o i_o observe_v what_o strange_a mystery_n the_o doctor_n himself_o have_v learn_v from_o this_o acquaintance_n with_o christ_n which_o i_o be_o sure_a without_o this_o he_o can_v never_o have_v learn_v either_o from_o scripture_n or_o reason_n i_o give_v several_a instance_n of_o this_o nature_n out_o of_o his_o own_o write_n which_o shall_v be_v make_v good_a in_o due_a time_n at_o present_a i_o must_v observe_v what_o doctrine_n i_o there_o reject_v and_o in_o what_o fence_n i_o reject_v such_o a_o notion_n of_o god_n justice_n as_o represent_v he_o as_o fierce_a and_o savage_a as_o the_o worst_a of_o being_n such_o a_o notion_n of_o justice_n as_o disparage_v the_o satisfaction_n of_o christ_n as_o if_o the_o whole_a design_n of_o it_o be_v to_o gratify_v revenge_n and_o to_o appease_v a_o furious_a and_o merciless_a deity_n which_o notion_n at_o first_o fright_v socinus_n out_o of_o his_o wit_n and_o make_v he_o rather_o choose_v to_o deny_v the_o satisfaction_n of_o christ_n than_o to_o believe_v any_o thing_n so_o unworthy_a of_o god_n though_o thanks_o be_v to_o god_n that_o we_o need_v do_v neither_o i_o reject_v such_o a_o notion_n of_o justice_n as_o disparage_v the_o wisdom_n of_o god_n in_o the_o contrivance_n of_o our_o redemption_n by_o jesus_n christ_n for_o if_o it_o be_v absolute_o necessary_a for_o god_n to_o punish_v sin_n and_o there_o be_v no_o other_o person_n in_o the_o world_n fit_a or_o able_a to_o bear_v the_o punishment_n of_o sin_n and_o to_o make_v expiation_n for_o it_o but_o only_o christ_n there_o be_v require_v no_o great_a wisdom_n to_o make_v the_o choice_n i_o reject_v such_o a_o notion_n of_o the_o mercy_n and_o patience_n of_o god_n as_o represent_v it_o to_o be_v the_o effect_n only_o of_o the_o satisfaction_n of_o revenge_n which_o be_v like_o the_o tameness_n of_o a_o angry_a man_n when_o his_o passion_n be_v over_o which_o be_v a_o unworthy_a conceit_n of_o the_o infinite_a love_n and_o goodness_n of_o the_o divine_a nature_n i_o reject_v such_o a_o notion_n of_o mercy_n as_o represent_v god_n to_o be_v fond_a and_o easy_a to_o sinner_n while_o they_o continue_v so_o and_o i_o think_v such_o a_o notion_n of_o justice_n and_o mercy_n very_o unworthy_a of_o god_n which_o represent_v he_o more_o concern_v to_o punish_v sin_n than_o to_o reform_v it_o and_o be_v it_o not_o hard_o that_o a_o man_n must_v be_v scandalize_v with_o deny_v the_o satisfaction_n of_o christ_n and_o blaspheme_a god_n mere_o for_o reject_v such_o doctrine_n as_o be_v injurious_a to_o the_o satisfaction_n of_o christ_n and_o when_o they_o be_v pursue_v to_o their_o just_a and_o natural_a consequence_n be_v downright_a blasphemy_n against_o god_n this_o be_v a_o certain_a way_n to_o prevent_v the_o confutation_n of_o such_o doctrine_n for_o you_o can_v confute_v they_o without_o discover_v their_o blasphemy_n and_o whoever_o do_v so_o shall_v himself_o be_v charge_v as_o a_o blasphemer_n but_o to_o proceed_v i_o reject_v such_o a_o notion_n of_o our_o union_n 2._o to_o the_o person_n of_o christ_n as_o be_v unintelligible_a such_o as_o the_o great_a patron_n of_o it_o can_v explain_v nor_o any_o one_o else_o understand_v for_o since_o all_o our_o hope_n of_o salvation_n depend_v upon_o our_o union_n to_o christ_n i_o can_v by_o no_o mean_n think_v that_o this_o be_v such_o a_o mystery_n as_o surpass_v humane_a knowledge_n for_o that_o on_o which_o the_o happiness_n of_o all_o man_n depend_v aught_o in_o reason_n to_o be_v so_o plain_a that_o it_o may_v be_v understand_v by_o all_o i_o reject_v such_o a_o notion_n of_o our_o union_n to_o the_o person_n of_o christ_n as_o entitle_v we_o to_o all_o the_o personal_a excellency_n fullness_n beauty_n and_o to_o the_o personal_a righteousness_n of_o christ_n as_o much_o as_o marriage_n entitle_v a_o woman_n to_o her_o husband_n estate_n that_o whatever_o christ_n have_v do_v and_o suffer_v be_v as_o much_o reckon_v we_o when_o we_o be_v unite_v to_o he_o as_o if_o we_o have_v do_v and_o suffer_v the_o same_o thing_n ourselves_o and_o that_o upon_o this_o account_n we_o be_v justify_v only_o by_o the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n without_o respect_n to_o any_o inherent_a righteousness_n in_o ourselves_o now_o i_o reject_v this_o because_o no_o union_n can_v thus_o entitle_v we_o to_o christ_n personal_a excellency_n and_o righteousness_n but_o such_o a_o natural_a union_n as_o make_v christ_n and_o believer_n one_o person_n that_o they_o be_v chri_v with_o christ_n which_o be_v a_o absurd_a and_o dangerous_a heresy_n but_o neither_o our_o marriage_n to_o christ_n nor_o his_o be_v our_o surety_n or_o mediator_n can_v effect_v this_o for_o whatever_o union_n there_o may_v be_v between_o the_o person_n of_o christ_n and_o the_o person_n of_o believer_n while_o their_o person_n remain_v distinct_a their_o property_n and_o qualification_n and_o righteousness_n must_v be_v consider_v as_o distinct_a too_o and_o though_o we_o may_v receive_v great_a advantage_n by_o what_o christ_n have_v do_v and_o suffer_v yet_o it_o can_v be_v reckon_v we_o in_o that_o strict_a notion_n as_o if_o it_o have_v be_v do_v by_o we_o and_o there_o be_v a_o vast_a difference_n between_o these_o two_o notion_n for_o the_o first_o only_o make_v the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n the_o meritorious_a cause_n of_o our_o pardon_n and_o reward_n which_o make_v it_o necessary_a to_o have_v a_o righteousness_n of_o our_o own_o to_o entitle_v we_o to_o these_o blessing_n but_o the_o second_o make_v the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n our_o personal_a righteousness_n which_o destroy_v the_o necessity_n of_o any_o inherent_a righteousness_n in_o ourselves_o but_o of_o this_o more_o hereafter_o i_o reject_v such_o a_o notion_n of_o our_o union_n to_o christ_n whereby_o bad_a man_n may_v be_v ●ay_n must_v be_v unite_v to_o christ_n while_o they_o continue_v in_o their_o sin_n for_o if_o it_o once_o be_v grant_v as_o it_o must_v be_v grant_v if_o we_o believe_v the_o gospel_n that_o our_o union_n to_o christ_n give_v we_o a_o actual_a interest_n in_o all_o his_o promise_n such_o as_o pardon_v of_o sin_n and_o eternal_a life_n it_o be_v easy_a to_o observe_v how_o this_o overthrow_v the_o whole_a design_n of_o the_o gospel_n if_o a_o bad_a man_n while_o he_o continue_v so_o may_v be_v unite_v to_o christ_n for_o than_o he_o be_v a_o son_n of_o god_n and_o a_o heir_n of_o everlasting_a life_n and_o what_o become_v then_o of_o all_o those_o gospel-threatning_n which_o denounce_v the_o wrath_n of_o god_n against_o all_o unrighteousness_n and_o ungodliness_n of_o man_n when_o christ_n tell_v we_o that_o he_o who_o break_v the_o least_o of_o his_o commandment_n shall_v be_v call_v least_o in_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n that_o except_o our_o righteousness_n exceed_v the_o righteousness_n of_o the_o scribe_n and_o pharisee_n we_o shall_v in_o no_o wise_n enter_v into_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n and_o when_o s._n paul_n tell_v we_o the_o work_n of_o the_o flesh_n be_v manifest_a which_o be_v these_o adultery_n fornication_n uncleanness_n lasciviousness_n idolatry_n witchcraft_n hatred_n variance_n emulation_n wrath_n strife_n sedition_n heresy_n envy_n murder_n drunkenness_n revel_v and_o such_o like_a of_o the_o which_o i_o tell_v you_o before_o as_o i_o have_v also_o tell_v you_o in_o time_n past_a that_o they_o which_o do_v such_o thing_n shall_v not_o inherit_v the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n gal._n v._n 19_o 20_o 21._o i_o say_v must_v these_o and_o such_o like_a place_n which_o so_o express_o denounce_v the_o wrath_n of_o god_n against_o all_o wickedness_n and_o impiety_n be_v expound_v with_o this_o limitation_n that_o this_o shall_v be_v the_o portion_n of_o such_o man_n unless_o they_o be_v unite_v to_o christ_n and_o thereby_o shelter_v from_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n as_o a_o wife_n under_o covert_n be_v secure_v from_o all_o arrest_n at_o law_n but_o as_o soon_o as_o any_o man_n have_v get_v into_o christ_n let_v he_o be_v what_o he_o will_v he_o be_v redeem_v from_o the_o curse_n of_o the_o law_n and_o make_v a_o heir_n of_o eternal_a life_n and_o do_v not_o this_o effectual_o evacuate_v all_o the_o threaten_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o set_v up_o the_o person_n of_o christ_n as_o a_o refuge_n and_o sanctuary_n for_o the_o ungodly_a and_o make_v the_o grace_n of_o christ_n person_n a_o dispensation_n from_o his_o own_o law_n and_o threaten_n i_o be_o sure_a the_o apostle_n understand_v not_o this_o limitation_n as_o be_v plain_a from_o what_o he_o add_v vers_fw-la 24._o and_o they_o that_o be_v christ_n have_v
