we_o do_v not_o contend_v against_o they_o if_o they_o understand_v hatred_n to_o be_v a_o passion_n of_o the_o mind_n which_o be_v seldom_o without_o corruption_n but_o when_o they_o take_v hatred_n

the_o potter_n have_v power_n over_o the_o clay_n and_o have_v not_o the_o lord_n much_o more_o power_n over_o we_o second_o he_o be_v a_o absolute_a lord_n over_o we_o what_o follow_v then_o he_o

this_o description_n open_v use_v 1_o the_o first_o use_n teach_v we_o that_o though_o the_o work_n of_o god_n seem_v to_o we_o at_o any_o time_n unjust_a yet_o we_o must_v acknowledge_v they_o just_a though_o flesh_n and_o blood_n can_v see_v the_o reason_n of_o they_o flesh_n and_o blood_n must_v be_v silent_a and_o say_v it_o be_v justice_n that_o have_v do_v it_o saint_n austin_n say_v the_o

the_o father_n oh_o the_o deepness_n both_o of_o the_o wisdom_n and_o mercy_n of_o god_n &_o c_o and_o if_o you_o will_v be_v wrangle_v yet_o i_o answer_v further_o rom._n 9.14_o there_o be_v no_o

to_o search_v god_n counsel_n happy_o here_o may_v be_v other_o objection_n as_o this_o quest_n be_v it_o just_a see_v all_o man_n be_v conclude_v under_o sin_n that_o god_n shall_v free_v some_o man_n from_o sin_n and_o leave_v other_o man_n in_o sin_n how_o shall_v this_o stand_v with_o god_n justice_n answ_n to_o this_o i_o answer_v if_o god_n do_v free_a some_o man_n from_o punishment_n without_o satisfaction_n then_o he_o can_v not_o be_v just_a but_o when_o he_o free_v none_o but_o those_o for_o who_o he_o be_v full_o satisfy_v his_o justice_n be_v not_o impair_v it_o be_v true_a indeed_o that_o no_o man_n satisfy_v for_o himself_o nor_o can_v find_v out_o a_o mean_n of_o satisfaction_n but_o it_o be_v grace_n not_o injustice_n for_o god_n out_o of_o the_o greatness_n of_o

his_o son_n to_o redeem_v some_o therefore_o the_o apostle_n say_v that_o our_o forgiveness_n be_v of_o mercy_n but_o john_n say_v of_o justice_n 1_o john_n 4.9_o god_n be_v faithful_a and_o just_a to_o forgive_v we_o our_o sin_n the_o reason_n be_v from_o the_o 7._o verse_n because_o the_o blood_n of_o jesus_n christ_n his_o son_n have_v cleanse_v we_o from_o all_o sin_n and_o so_o he_o do_v

that_o find_v out_o a_o mean_n to_o save_v some_o and_o yet_o because_o he_o will_v have_v his_o justice_n satisfy_v he_o send_v his_o son_n that_o he_o may_v die_v for_o they_o he_o will_v save_v quest_n happy_o some_o will_v say_v this_o seem_v to_o he_o injustice_n that_o god_n shall_v punish_v his_o wicked_a servant_n and_o also_o punish_v they_o upon_o the_o back_n of_o his_o dutiful_a

this_o justice_n have_v a_o show_n of_o injustice_n to_o man_n that_o god_n shall_v lay_v the_o sin_n of_o other_o upon_o he_o yet_o be_v it_o just_a because_o their_o sin_n be_v account_v he_o he_o be_v the_o mediator_n the_o head_n and_o husband_n of_o his_o church_n and_o therefore_o for_o god_n to_o require_v their_o sin_n of_o he_o be_v no_o injustice_n their_o sin_n be_v make_v he_o 1_o
