for_o every_o law_n be_v thus_o far_o perfect_a that_o it_o oblige_v no_o far_o to_o punishment_n than_o it_o do_v to_o obedience_n and_o so_o the_o same_o apostle_n tell_v we_o rom._n 2._o 14_o 15._o that_o the_o gentile_n which_o have_v not_o the_o law_n do_v by_o nature_n the_o thing_n contain_v in_o the_o law_n these_o have_v not_o the_o law_n be_v a_o law_n unto_o themselves_o which_o show_v

though_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n be_v perfect_a in_o itself_o that_o be_v it_o require_v nothing_o of_o we_o but_o what_o be_v true_o and_o intrinsical_o good_a nay_o nothing_o but_o what_o all_o thing_n consider_v be_v most_o for_o our_o advantage_n â—t_a exact_v no_o more_o punishment_n than_o it_o require_v obedience_n it_o command_v nothing_o which_o be_v natural_o impossible_a to_o be_v perform_v which_o no_o law_n can_v be_v suppose_v to_o do_v yet_o consider_v the_o many_o temptation_n and_o infirmity_n to_o which_o we_o be_v obnoxious_a it_o be_v moral_o impossible_a but_o at_o some_o time_n or_o other_o it_o will_v so_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o what_o through_o in_o inadvertency_n temptation_n or_o frailty_n we_o shall_v step_v aside_o out_o of_o the_o milky_a way_n of_o innocence_n and_o truth_n into_o the_o forbid_a path_n of_o lust_n and_o error_n and_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o no_o man_n ever_o do_v hitherto_o nor_o will_v ever_o hereafter_o live_v in_o perfect_a innocence_n except_o our_o saviour_n himself_o who_o be_v create_v in_o the_o utmost_a perfection_n of_o the_o humane_a nature_n assist_v and_o improve_v by_o a_o most_o intimate_a presence_n and_o union_n of_o the_o divine_a so_o that_o in_o this_o case_n a_o sin_n be_v once_o commit_v it_o be_v necessary_a in_o order_n to_o our_o justification_n that_o be_v to_o our_o be_v free_v from_o the_o punishment_n which_o be_v consequent_a upon_o it_o for_o the_o guilt_n can_v never_o be_v whole_o wash_v away_o any_o more_o than_o it_o be_v possible_a for_o that_o never_o to_o have_v be_v which_o be_v already_o past_a i_o say_v it_o be_v necessary_a that_o this_o justification_n be_v attain_v one_o of_o these_o five_o way_n for_o there_o can_v no_o other_o be_v think_v of_o first_o we_o may_v please_v ourselves_o with_o a_o conceit_n that_o the_o innocence_n of_o our_o past_a life_n may_v a_o tone_n and_o satisfy_v for_o the_o offence_n commit_v but_o this_o can_v be_v because_o that_o innocence_n how_o great_a soever_o be_v no_o more_o than_o what_o we_o be_v oblige_v to_o before_o so_o that_o have_v do_v no_o more_o than_o our_o duty_n we_o have_v nothing_o leave_v by_o way_n of_o supererrogation_n to_o make_v amends_o for_o what_o we_o have_v do_v amiss_o and_o set_v the_o account_n right_o again_o between_o god_n and_o ourselves_o second_o we_o may_v hope_v that_o our_o repentance_n will_v be_v available_a with_o god_n and_o that_o he_o will_v set_v our_o sorrow_n against_o our_o sin_n and_o let_v the_o former_a expiate_v for_o the_o latter_a and_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o the_o very_o next_o thing_n to_o innocence_n be_v repentance_n and_o that_o god_n will_v not_o despise_v a_o break_a and_o a_o contrite_a heart_n but_o still_o it_o be_v equal_o certain_a that_o wherever_o there_o be_v repentance_n there_o be_v gild_n and_o wherever_o there_o be_v gild_n the_o right_a of_o punishment_n still_o remain_v in_o he_o against_o who_o the_o offence_n be_v commit_v if_o he_o have_v not_o actual_o remit_v it_o already_o or_o at_o least_o oblige_v himself_o by_o promise_n that_o he_o will_v do_v it_o but_o than_o three_o the_o three_o way_n from_o which_o some_o may_v peradventure_o promise_v to_o themselves_o to_o be_v justify_v or_o pardon_v for_o their_o offence_n be_v by_o the_o obedience_n of_o the_o remain_a part_n of_o their_o life_n but_o this_o will_v not_o do_v neither_o for_o a_o reason_n already_o mention_v namely_o because_o that_o obedience_n be_v no_o more_o than_o we_o be_v oblige_v to_o pay_v and_o so_o have_v nothing_o to_o spare_v by_o way_n of_o expiation_n for_o all_o or_o any_o of_o those_o transgression_n which_o we_o have_v commit_v and_o though_o it_o be_v true_a that_o this_o obedience_n be_v a_o certain_a sign_n that_o our_o repentance_n be_v sincere_a which_o will_v for_o that_o reason_n be_v sure_a to_o be_v the_o more_o available_a with_o god_n yet_o whatever_o motive_n or_o inducement_n it_o may_v be_v to_o his_o goodness_n it_o lay_v no_o such_o obligation_n upon_o his_o justice_n as_o that_o his_o right_n to_o punishment_n will_v be_v by_o this_o mean_v destroy_v but_o then_o if_o you_o consider_v how_o great_a the_o frailty_n and_o infirmity_n of_o humane_a nature_n be_v and_o how_o lyable-our_a very_a duty_n be_v to_o a_o mixture_n of_o gild_n and_o imperfection_n by_o the_o coldness_n and_o indifference_n of_o their_o performance_n by_o the_o want_n of_o a_o due_a fervour_n and_o ardency_n of_o mind_n and_o by_o the_o wander_a of_o our_o thought_n and_o affection_n towards_o unsuitable_a object_n and_o desire_n in_o the_o very_a midst_n of_o our_o devotion_n and_o much_o more_o in_o the_o usual_a course_n of_o our_o life_n that_o obedience_n how_o great_a soever_o it_o may_v comparative_o be_v when_o we_o set_v it_o in_o opposition_n to_o that_o of_o other_o man_n yet_o in_o itself_o it_o be_v so_o far_o from_o be_v able_a to_o expiate_v for_o the_o sin_n and_o folly_n of_o our_o past_a life_n that_o it_o will_v upon_o account_n of_o its_o own_o defect_n stand_v in_o great_a need_n of_o another_o expiation_n wherefore_o these_o three_o way_n be_v find_v so_o insufficient_a for_o the_o justification_n of_o a_o sinner_n for_o the_o reason_n already_o mention_v the_o four_o possible_a expedient_a that_o may_v be_v think_v of_o in_o order_n to_o this_o end_n be_v that_o of_o god_n free_a pardon_v and_o remit_v of_o sin_n as_o a_o act_n of_o mere_a goodness_n without_o any_o expiation_n or_o satisfaction_n perform_v by_o we_o either_o in_o our_o own_o proper_a person_n or_o in_o that_o of_o our_o proxy_n but_o it_o seem_v best_a to_o his_o infinite_a wisdom_n to_o make_v use_n of_o this_o five_o and_o last_o way_n that_o be_v to_o accept_v of_o a_o proxenetical_a or_o vicarious_a expiation_n in_o our_o stead_n not_o that_o the_o other_o way_n have_v any_o repugnancy_n in_o it_o to_o any_o of_o the_o divine_a attribute_n for_o it_o be_v the_o undoubted_a right_n of_o all_o personality_n whatsoever_o to_o remit_v those_o injury_n which_o be_v do_v to_o themselves_o but_o as_o i_o conceive_v especial_o for_o these_o three_o reason_n beside_o other_o which_o may_v very_o well_o be_v unknown_a to_o we_o and_o be_v only_o discernible_a to_o his_o unsearchable_a wisdom_n first_o because_o as_o the_o author_n to_o the_o hebrew_n tell_v we_o c._n 9_o v._n 22._o almost_o all_o thing_n be_v by_o the_o law_n purge_v with_o blood_n and_o without_o shed_v of_o blood_n there_o be_v no_o remission_n the_o jew_n
