the_o divine_a justice_n of_o god_n the_o father_n to_o take_v their_o sin_n and_o to_o bear_v their_o sorrow_n and_o to_o be_v in_o the_o room_n of_o a_o sinner_n he_o come_v voluntary_o in_o our_o

debtor_n reason_n 2_o second_o the_o justice_n of_o god_n require_v this_o at_o the_o hand_n of_o jesus_n christ_n to_o wit_n that_o he_o shall_v not_o only_o suffer_v for_o sinner_n but_o also_o take_v the_o very_a guilt_n of_o sinner_n upon_o himself_o by_o imputation_n and_o be_v in_o their_o room_n and_o that_o the_o justice_n of_o god_n do_v require_v this_o at_o the_o hand_n of_o christ_n may_v thus_o be_v conceive_v the_o anger_n justice_n and_o severity_n of_o god_n be_v manifest_v in_o the_o fall_n of_o man_n for_o when_o man_n back_o sin_v and_o fall_v than_o anger_n and_o justice_n begin_v to_o work_v and_o now_o adam_n see_v god_n to_o be_v a_o angry_a and_o a_o just_a god_n now_o the_o glory_n of_o those_o attribute_n appear_v and_o now_o all_o the_o complaint_n stand_v upon_o mercy_n side_n and_o therefore_o mercy_n appeal_v to_o the_o great_a court_n in_o heaven_n and_o then_o it_o say_v wisdom_n and_o power_n and_o goodness_n have_v all_o be_v manifest_v in_o the_o creation_n and_o anger_n and_o justice_n they_o have_v be_v glorify_v in_o the_o fall_n of_o adam_n but_o i_o have_v not_o yet_o be_v manifest_v oh_o let_v some_o poor_a soul_n be_v comfort_v and_o save_v that_o they_o may_v know_v there_o be_v a_o merciful_a god_n and_o then_o the_o case_n be_v debate_v only_a justice_n step_n in_o and_o take_v itself_o as_o wrong_v it_o be_v true_a say_v justice_n it_o be_v fit_a that_o mercy_n shall_v be_v honour_v yet_o it_o be_v not_o fit_a that_o i_o shall_v be_v wrong_v must_v my_o glory_n be_v injure_v will_v you_o have_v a_o company_n of_o sinful_a rebel_n pardon_v and_o forgive_v when_o they_o have_v thus_o abuse_v holiness_n and_o goodness_n and_o resist_v the_o will_n of_o god_n nay_o except_o they_o be_v punish_v i_o can_v have_v my_o due_n mercy_n must_v be_v honour_v but_o yet_o justice_n must_v not_o be_v wrong_v now_o god_n be_v a_o just_a god_n and_o he_o must_v give_v every_o one_o their_o due_a glory_n to_o who_o glory_n belong_v and_o justice_n to_o who_o justice_n belong_v justice_n must_v not_o be_v offend_v but_o must_v be_v apay_v and_o have_v its_o right_a this_o be_v the_o controversy_n therefore_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n step_v in_o and_o make_v up_o all_o even_a on_o both_o side_n and_o there_o be_v a_o way_n devise_v whereby_o justice_n may_v be_v full_o satisfy_v and_o yet_o mercy_n magnify_v and_o so_o much_o the_o more_o be_v mercy_n magnify_v by_o how_o much_o justice_n be_v wrong_v then_o christ_n come_v in_o and_o say_v that_o justice_n shall_v punish_v all_o unbeliever_n and_o so_o it_o shall_v be_v satisfy_v for_o all_o the_o wrong_n do_v to_o it_o and_o mercy_n shall_v be_v magnify_v upon_o the_o believe_a soul_n because_o the_o believer_n be_v not_o able_a to_o bear_v divine_a justice_n himself_o therefore_o christ_n jesus_n be_v content_v to_o be_v account_v guilty_a that_o justice_n may_v inflict_v punishment_n upon_o he_o as_o deserve_v it_o for_o otherwise_o to_o punish_v the_o innocent_a and_o to_o acquit_v the_o guilty_a will_v not_o stand_v with_o justice_n now_o therefore_o that_o justice_n may_v have_v his_o due_a from_o he_o and_o yet_o do_v he_o no_o wrong_n therefore_o he_o be_v content_a to_o be_v account_v guilty_a and_o though_o he_o be_v innocent_a yet_o he_o be_v content_v to_o be_v account_v noceâ—_n now_o if_o god_n in_o justice_n require_v punishment_n of_o our_o saviour_n than_o the_o same_o justice_n must_v account_v our_o saviour_n as_o guilty_a otherwise_o he_o shall_v punish_v the_o innocent_a which_o he_o can_v in_o justice_n do_v but_o god_n the_o father_n do_v punish_v christ_n jesus_n for_o justice_n be_v satisfy_v by_o the_o punishment_n therefore_o it_o be_v requisite_a that_o he_o shall_v be_v under_o the_o law_n also_o god_n in_o justice_n must_v account_v he_o guilty_a that_o in_o justice_n he_o may_v be_v punish_v so_o the_o issue_n be_v this_o if_o god_n the_o father_n do_v in_o justice_n punish_v christ_n than_o it_o be_v require_v that_o heâ—_n shall_v be_v account_v as_o guilty_a and_o under_o the_o law_n but_o the_o father_n do_v do_v it_o therefore_o he_o do_v account_v he_o as_o a_o sinner_n and_o as_o guilty_a and_o do_v lay_v their_o sin_n unto_o his_o charge_n reason_n 3_o three_o the_o three_o argument_n be_v take_v from_o the_o love_n and_o mercy_n of_o jesus_n christ_n which_o abundant_o be_v magnify_v herein_o in_o take_v upon_o he_o the_o room_n of_o a_o sinner_n for_o whatsoever_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n can_v do_v for_o a_o poor_a sinner_n without_o sin_n that_o he_o do_v do_v in_o the_o pardon_n of_o sin_n but_o this_o christ_n may_v do_v without_o sin_n and_o be_v do_v thereof_o may_v express_v abundance_n of_o love_n not_o only_o to_o lay_v down_o his_o life_n for_o we_o but_o to_o veil_v his_o innocence_n for_o we_o he_o be_v account_v a_o malefactor_n and_o a_o sinner_n for_o we_o this_o be_v the_o high_a pitch_n of_o

forsake_v but_o for_o a_o while_n and_o it_o be_v not_o a_o take_n away_o the_o godhead_n from_o the_o manhood_n of_o our_o saviour_n but_o the_o godhead_n be_v ever_o unite_v to_o the_o manhood_n and_o do_v evermore_o support_v it_o second_o this_o forsake_v be_v on_o the_o father_n part_n and_o not_o on_o our_o saviour_n part_n the_o father_n forsake_v christ_n but_o christ_n go_v after_o

be_v make_v sin_n for_o we_o by_o account_n and_o imputation_n be_v our_o surety_n god_n the_o father_n may_v just_o take_v away_o and_o withdraw_v the_o sense_n of_o the_o sweetness_n of_o his_o love_n and_o favour_n from_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n without_o any_o sin_n but_o now_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n can_v not_o have_v forsake_v and_o go_v away_o from_o the_o father_n without_o sin_v so_o that_o this_o forsake_v be_v on_o the_o father_n part_n but_o our_o saviour_n hold_v fast_o and_o will_v not_o be_v carry_v away_o my_o god_n my_o god_n etc._n etc._n as_o job_n say_v though_o he_o kill_v i_o yet_o will_v i_o trust_v in_o he_o so_o that_o job_n trust_v and_o god_n kill_v anger_n may_v stand_v together_o and_o when_o the_o lord_n wrestle_v with_o jacob_n and_o

from_o god_n for_o want_v of_o confidence_n and_o affiance_n so_o that_o this_o forsake_v be_v to_o be_v apprehend_v whole_o on_o the_o father_n part_n for_o our_o saviour_n do_v not_o go_v away_o
