necessary_a to_o speak_v much_o of_o this_o particular_a because_o the_o open_n of_o the_o former_a give_v light_n unto_o it_o brief_o thus_o 1._o the_o law_n require_v perfect_a obedience_n as_o you_o hear_v the_o full_a performance_n of_o every_o branch_n and_o tittle_n of_o it_o 2._o in_o case_n of_o disobedience_n transgression_n defect_n and_o fail_v in_o obedience_n the_o law_n denounce_v a_o grievous_a penalty_n a_o curse_n 17._o death_n and_o destruction_n as_o be_v note_v also_o yea_o the_o law_n give_v to_o mankind_n in_o adam_n have_v the_o sentence_n of_o death_n annex_v in_o the_o day_n thou_o eat_v thereof_o thou_o shall_v sure_o die_v 3._o hence_o it_o follow_v that_o if_o neither_o the_o law_n be_v fulfil_v in_o a_o way_n of_o obedience_n nor_o satisfy_v by_o the_o inflict_a of_o the_o punishment_n than_o it_o be_v make_v void_a and_o declare_v to_o be_v of_o no_o force_n to_o have_v lose_v its_o authority_n its_o vigour_n and_o to_o be_v frustrate_v of_o its_o end_n 4._o thereupon_o we_o may_v infer_v by_o the_o rule_n of_o contrary_n that_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n have_v in_o the_o nature_n of_o man_n bear_v the_o full_a penalty_n severity_n and_o curse_v of_o the_o law_n due_a to_o the_o sin_n of_o man_n against_o the_o law_n and_o by_o his_o godhead_n to_o which_o his_o humane_a nature_n wherein_o he_o suffer_v be_v personal_o unite_v give_v sufficient_a value_n and_o worth_n to_o his_o suffering_n to_o make_v full_a satisfaction_n to_o the_o law_n to_o the_o uttermost_a that_o the_o law_n in_o its_o great_a rigour_n can_v require_v hence_o it_o clear_o follow_v that_o christ_n establish_v the_o law_n this_o be_v a_o real_a and_o full_a acknowledgement_n of_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o law_n the_o wonderful_a abasement_n the_o grievous_a suffering_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n be_v signal_n evidence_n infallible_a demonstration_n of_o the_o force_n and_o authority_n of_o the_o law_n the_o lord_n of_o glory_n appear_v in_o the_o form_n of_o a_o servant_n to_o make_v way_n for_o satisfy_v the_o law_n he_o that_o be_v the_o brightness_n of_o the_o father_n glory_n endure_v the_o shame_n of_o the_o cross_n do_v abundant_o witness_v to_o the_o world_n the_o authority_n of_o the_o law_n the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n spare_v not_o his_o most_o precious_a blood_n but_o free_o pour_v it_o forth_o to_o satisfy_v the_o law_n for_o the_o sin_n of_o his_o people_n and_o thereby_o ratify_v and_o seal_v the_o authority_n of_o the_o law_n how_o shall_v this_o be_v improve_v to_o stir_v up_o poor_a soul_n without_o delay_n to_o turn_v to_o the_o lord_n 1_o and_o flee_v to_o christ_n for_o in_o as_o much_o as_o the_o lord_n jesus_n do_v both_o perform_v perfect_a obedience_n to_o the_o law_n and_o bear_v the_o full_a penalty_n and_o curse_n of_o the_o law_n and_o by_o both_o these_o establish_v the_o law_n it_o show_v clear_o that_o the_o law_n stand_v in_o full_a force_n against_o all_o that_o be_v out_o of_o christ_n they_o be_v guilty_a of_o sin_n against_o the_o law_n be_v subject_a to_o the_o curse_n of_o the_o law_n for_o be_v not_o find_v in_o christ_n they_o have_v no_o part_n in_o his_o perfect_a righteousness_n and_o full_a satisfaction_n and_o therefore_o be_v every_o moment_n in_o danger_n of_o the_o sentence_n of_o condemnation_n denounce_v by_o the_o the_o law_n it_o be_v true_a that_o christ_n have_v full_o satisfy_v the_o law_n but_o what_o do_v this_o help_v they_o that_o remain_v in_o their_o natural_a estate_n
