and_o no_o doubt_n for_o very_o good_a reason_n among_o which_o these_o three_o seem_v to_o be_v very_o obvious_a and_o very_a considerable_a first_o to_o vindicate_v the_o honour_n of_o his_o law_n which_o if_o sin_n have_v go_v altogether_o unpunished_a will_v have_v be_v in_o great_a danger_n of_o fall_v into_o contempt_n for_o if_o god_n have_v proclaim_v a_o general_a pardon_n of_o sin_n to_o all_o mankind_n without_o any_o testimony_n of_o his_o wrath_n and_o displeasure_n against_o it_o who_o will_v have_v have_v any_o great_a veneration_n for_o his_o law_n or_o have_v believe_v

honour_n of_o his_o law_n rather_o than_o sin_n shall_v pass_v unpunisn_v god_n will_v lay_v the_o punishment_n of_o it_o upon_o his_o only_o beget_v son_n the_o dear_a person_n to_o he_o in_o the_o

the_o sinner_n have_v suffer_v the_o punishment_n due_a to_o it_o in_o his_o own_o person_n second_o another_o reason_n of_o this_o dispensation_n and_o that_o likewise_o very_o considerable_a be_v that_o god_n may_v forgive_v sin_n in_o such_o a_o way_n as_o yet_o effectual_o to_o discountenance_v and_o discourage_v it_o and_o to_o create_v in_o we_o the_o great_a horror_n and_o hatred_n of_o it_o which_o can_v not_o have_v be_v by_o a_o absolute_a pardon_n without_o any_o punishment_n inflict_v or_o satisfaction_n make_v to_o the_o honour_n of_o his_o justice_n for_o have_v sin_n be_v so_o easy_o forgive_v who_o will_v have_v be_v sensible_a of_o the_o great_a evil_n of_o it_o or_o afraid_a to_o offend_v for_o the_o future_a but_o when_o god_n make_v his_o own_o son_n a_o sacrifice_n and_o lay_v upon_o he_o the_o punishment_n due_a for_o the_o iniquity_n of_o we_o all_o this_o be_v a_o demonstration_n that_o god_n hate_v sin_n as_o much_o if_o it_o be_v possible_a as_o he_o love_v his_o own_o son_n for_o this_o plain_o show_v what_o sin_n deserve_v and_o what_o the_o sinner_n may_v just_o expect_v if_o after_o this_o severity_n of_o god_n against_o it_o he_o will_v venture_v to_o commit_v it_o and_o if_o this_o sacrifice_n for_o sin_n and_o the_o pardon_v purchase_v by_o it_o be_v not_o effectual_a to_o reclaim_v we_o from_o sin_n and_o to_o beget_v in_o we_o a_o eternal_a dread_n and_o detestation_n of_o it_o if_o we_o sin_v wilful_o after_o so_o clear_a a_o revelation_n of_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n from_o heaven_n against_o all_o ungodliness_n and_o unrighteousness_n of_o man_n there_o remain_v no_o more_o sacrifice_n for_o sin_n but_o a_o certain_a fearful_a look_v for_o of_o judgement_n and_o fiery_a indignation_n to_o consume_v the_o adversary_n for_o what_o can_v god_n do_v more_o to_o testify_v his_o displeasure_n against_o sin_n and_o to_o discountenance_v the_o practice_n of_o it_o than_o to_o make_v his_o only_a son_n a_o offering_n for_o sin_n and_o to_o give_v he_o up_o to_o be_v wound_v for_o our_o transgression_n and_o bruise_v for_o our_o iniquity_n in_o what_o clear_a glass_n can_v we_o at_o once_o behold_v the_o great_a evil_n and_o demerit_n of_o sin_n and_o the_o infinite_a goodness_n and_o mercy_n of_o god_n to_o sinner_n than_o in_o the_o sorrow_n and_o suffering_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n for_o our_o sin_n and_o for_o our_o sake_n three_o another_o reason_n of_o this_o dispensation_n seem_v to_o have_v be_v a_o gracious_a condescension_n and_o compliance_n of_o almighty_a god_n with_o a_o certain_a apprehension_n and_o persuasion_n which_o have_v very_o early_a and_o universal_o obtain_v among_o mankind_n concern_v the_o expiation_n of_o sin_n and_o appease_v the_o offend_a deity_n by_o sacrifice_n by_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o live_a creature_n of_o bird_n and_o beast_n and_o afterward_o by_o human_a sacrifice_n and_o the_o blood_n of_o their_o son_n and_o daughter_n by_o offer_v to_o god_n as_o the_o expression_n be_v in_o the_o prophet_n their_o first-born_a for_o their_o transgression_n and_o the_o fruit_n of_o their_o body_n for_o the_o sin_n of_o their_o soul_n and_o this_o notion_n of_o the_o expiation_n of_o sin_n by_o sacrifice_n whether_o it_o have_v its_o first_o rise_n from_o divine_a revelation_n and_o be_v afterward_o propagate_v from_o age_n to_o age_n by_o tradition_n i_o say_v from_o whence_o soever_o this_o notion_n come_v it_o have_v of_o all_o other_o notion_n concern_v religion_n except_v those_o of_o the_o be_v of_o god_n and_o his_o providence_n and_o of_o the_o recompense_n of_o another_o life_n find_v the_o most_o universal_a reception_n and_o the_o thing_n have_v be_v the_o most_o general_o practise_v in_o all_o age_n and_o

be_v fit_a for_o god_n to_o do_v and_o that_o he_o need_v not_o to_o take_v counsel_n of_o any_o of_o his_o creature_n what_o will_v best_o become_v he_o in_o this_o or_o any_o other_o case_n 13._o behold_v in_o this_o thou_o be_v not_o just_a i_o will_v answer_v thou_o that_o god_n be_v great_a than_o man_n why_o do_v thou_o dispute_v against_o he_o for_o he_o give_v not_o account_n of_o any_o of_o his_o matter_n three_o if_o our_o reason_n can_v get_v over_o this_o difficulty_n and_o admit_v that_o god_n may_v become_v man_n yet_o it_o seem_v very_o unsuitable_a to_o the_o son_n of_o god_n and_o to_o his_o great_a design_n of_o instruct_v and_o reform_v mankind_n to_o appear_v in_o so_o low_a and_o suffer_v a_o condition_n this_o to_o the_o heathen_a philosopher_n who_o as_o the_o apostle_n tell_v we_o by_o wisdom_n know_v not_o god_n do_v not_o only_o seem_v unreasonable_a but_o even_o ridiculous_a 21._o so_o st._n paul_n tell_v we_o we_o say_v he_o preach_v christ_n crucify_v

afflict_a a_o condition_n to_o confront_v the_o pride_n and_o vanity_n of_o the_o world_n by_o this_o consideration_n that_o the_o son_n of_o god_n and_o the_o very_o best_a man_n that_o ever_o be_v be_v a_o beggar_n and_o have_v not_o where_o to_o lay_v his_o head_n and_o likewise_o to_o convince_v man_n of_o these_o two_o great_a truth_n that_o god_n may_v grievous_o afflict_v those_o who_o he_o dear_o love_v and_o that_o it_o be_v possible_a for_o man_n to_o be_v innocent_a and_o content_v in_o the_o midst_n of_o poverty_n and_o reproach_n and_o suffering_n have_v our_o b._n saviour_n appear_v in_o the_o person_n and_o pomp_n of_o a_o great_a temporal_a prince_n the_o influence_n of_o his_o authority_n and_o example_n will_v probable_o have_v make_v more_o hypocrite_n and_o

of_o solomon_n where_o speak_v of_o the_o malice_n and_o enmity_n of_o the_o wicked_a to_o one_o that_o be_v eminent_o righteous_a he_o bring_v they_o in_o say_v after_o this_o manner_n 20._o let_v
