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

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 in_o good_a earnest_n that_o the_o violation_n of_o they_o have_v be_v either_o so_o extreme_o offensive_a to_o he_o or_o so_o very_o dangerous_a to_o the_o sinner_n therefore_o to_o maintain_v the_o honour_n of_o his_o

be_v a_o great_a testimony_n of_o his_o high_a displeasure_n against_o sin_n and_o of_o his_o tender_a regard_n and_o concernment_n for_o the_o honour_n of_o his_o law_n than_o if_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

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

in_o the_o next_o word_n great_a 13._o love_n than_o this_o have_v no_o man_n that_o a_o man_n lie_v down_o his_o life_n for_o his_o friend_n that_o be_v that_o he_o be_v content_v to_o die_v in_o

by_o this_o expression_n of_o christ_n die_v for_o the_o ungodly_a be_v mean_v only_o his_o die_n for_o the_o benefit_n and_o advantage_n of_o sinner_n but_o not_o his_o die_v in_o their_o stead_n this_o let_v the_o word_n which_o immediate_o follow_v determine_v for_o scarce_o for_o a_o righteous_a man_n will_v one_o die_v yet_o peradventure_o for_o a_o good_a man_n one_o will_v even_o dare_v to_o die_v but_o god_n commend_v his_o love_n to_o we_o in_o that_o whilst_o we_o be_v yet_o sinner_n christ_n die_v for_o we_o and_o now_o i_o appeal_v to_o any_o man_n of_o good_a sense_n whether_o it_o be_v not_o plain_a that_o the_o apostle_n here_o speak_v of_o christ_n die_v for_o sinner_n in_o the_o same_o sense_n as_o one_o man_n be_v say_v to_o die_v for_o another_o that_o be_v to_o

beyond_o the_o possibility_n of_o be_v convince_v and_o the_o argument_n from_o these_o two_o text_n be_v so_o much_o the_o strong_a because_o we_o do_v not_o here_o reason_n mere_o from_o the_o phrase_n and_o expression_n but_o from_o the_o main_a scope_n of_o our_o saviour_n discourse_n in_o the_o one_o and_o of_o st._n paul_n in_o the_o other_o for_o the_o design_n of_o both_o be_v to_o recommend_v the_o superlative_a love_n of_o christ_n to_o we_o above_o the_o great_a love_n that_o ever_o any_o man_n express_v to_o another_o the_o high_a pitch_n that_o human_a affection_n do_v ever_o rise_v to_o be_v for_o a_o man_n to_o lay_v down_o his_o life_n for_o his_o friend_n but_o the_o son_n of_o god_n lay_v down_o his_o life_n for_o his_o enemy_n scarce_o say_v st._n paul_n will_v one_o lay_v down_o his_o life_n for_o a_o righteous_a man_n that_o be_v for_o one_o who_o be_v but_o strict_o just_a and_o honest_a and_o do_v no_o body_n wrong_v but_o for_o a_o good_a man_n that_o be_v for_o one_o that_o be_v kind_a and_o beneficial_a to_o all_o and_o have_v oblige_v mankind_n by_o great_a benefit_n some_o one_o may_v be_v find_v that_o will_v lay_v down_o his_o life_n to_o save_v the_o life_n of_o such_o a_o person_n but_o the_o love_n of_o christ_n have_v go_v far_o beyond_o this_o he_o die_v for_o sinner_n for_o those_o who_o be_v neither_o good_a man_n nor_o righteous_a but_o god_n commend_v his_o love_n to_o we_o in_o that_o whilst_o we_o be_v yet_o sinner_n christ_n die_v for_o we_o now_o where_o do_v the_o force_n of_o this_o argument_n lie_v if_o not_o in_o this_o that_o christ_n have_v do_v that_o for_o we_o who_o be_v enemy_n and_o sinner_n which_o some_o very_a few_o person_n in_o the_o world_n have_v do_v for_o their_o friend_n or_o for_o some_o very_o eminent_o good_a man_n and_o what_o be_v that_o why_o they_o have_v lay_v down_o their_o life_n in_o their_o stead_n and_o so_o christ_n have_v do_v for_o we_o this_o seem_v to_o be_v so_o very_a plain_n that_o i_o do_v not_o see_v how_o the_o force_n of_o this_o argument_n be_v possible_a to_o be_v avoid_v it_o be_v evident_a then_o from_o scripture_n that_o christ_n die_v not_o only_o for_o our_o advantage_n but_o in_o our_o stead_n as_o true_o and_o real_o as_o any_o man_n ever_o do_v or_o can_v die_v for_o another_o who_o lay_v down_o his_o own_o life_n to_o save_v

call_v payment_n or_o satisfaction_n i_o confess_v i_o be_o not_o able_a to_o understand_v man_n may_v eternal_o wrangle_v about_o any_o thing_n but_o what_o a_o frivolous_a contention_n what_o a_o
