faith_n therefore_o say_v they_o in_o the_o whole_a course_n of_o scripture_n faith_n be_v cast_v upon_o the_o godhead_n as_o esay_n 50.10_o who_o so_o be_v wise_a among_o you_o that_o fear_v the_o lord_n that_o obey_v the_o voice_n of_o his_o servant_n he_o that_o walk_v in_o darkness_n and_o have_v no_o light_n let_v he_o trust_v in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o stay_v himself_o upon_o his_o god_n all_o the_o phrase_n of_o scripture_n run_v thus_o trust_v and_o hope_v and_o rely_v upon_o the_o lord_n so_o john_n 14.1_o 2._o vers_fw-la let_v not_o your_o heart_n be_v trouble_v you_o believe_v in_o god_n believe_v also_o in_o i_o mark_v this_o now_o do_v a_o man_n believe_v upon_o the_o father_n as_o father_n only_o than_o he_o do_v not_o believe_v upon_o the_o son_n or_o do_v he_o believe_v only_o upon_o the_o son_n as_o son_n than_o he_o do_v not_o believe_v upon_o the_o father_n but_o in_o that_o he_o believe_v upon_o the_o father_n and_o the_o son_n it_o be_v therefore_o plain_a that_o he_o fall_v first_o upon_o the_o godhead_n and_o see_v it_o be_v so_o that_o we_o must_v believe_v upon_o the_o father_n son_n and_o holy_a ghost_n therefore_o we_o be_v not_o to_o believe_v upon_o one_o of_o they_o only_o but_o upon_o the_o whole_a deity_n and_o the_o divine_a nature_n and_o all_o the_o three_o person_n in_o the_o divine_a nature_n for_o as_o the_o schoolman_n say_v that_o which_o do_v appertain_v to_o this_o as_o this_o belong_v to_o this_o and_o to_o none_o other_o now_o we_o believe_v in_o all_o the_o whole_a trinity_n and_o therefore_o we_o close_o with_o all_o three_o the_o father_n son_n and_o holy_a ghost_n and_o hence_o it_o be_v that_o these_o divine_n observe_v that_o when_o we_o be_v say_v to_o believe_v in_o the_o scripture_n and_o in_o the_o promise_n not_o that_o any_o do_v it_o proper_o but_o so_o far_o as_o the_o promise_n that_o god_n in_o christ_n reveal_v and_o promise_v and_o communicate_v himself_o so_o far_o we_o believe_v in_o the_o promise_n that_o be_v in_o his_o faithfulness_n truth_n and_o mercy_n reveal_v in_o the_o promise_n the_o second_o reason_n which_o they_o allege_v be_v this_o say_v they_o that_o which_o in_o reason_n must_v stay_v &_o satisfy_v the_o soul_n of_o a_o believer_n it_o be_v that_o in_o reason_n to_o which_o the_o soul_n must_v first_o betake_v itself_o and_o upon_o which_o it_o most_o first_o stay_v itself_o for_o faith_n go_v out_o for_o succour_n and_o for_o good_a therefore_o that_o which_o only_o can_v satisfy_v faith_n to_o that_o only_o it_o must_v first_o go_v the_o believer_n be_v dead_a in_o sin_n because_o of_o the_o commission_n of_o they_o but_o there_o be_v life_n in_o god_n therefore_o to_o a_o infinite_a god_n the_o soul_n come_v to_o work_v a_o infinite_a satisfaction_n for_o he_o which_o all_o creature_n can_v do_v in_o this_o case_n the_o godhead_n prepare_v the_o humane_a nature_n and_o work_n by_o the_o humane_a nature_n and_o give_v power_n to_o the_o humane_a nature_n and_o make_v it_o able_a to_o suffer_v and_o to_o satisfy_v faith_n see_v that_o he_o have_v offend_v a_o infinite_a god_n and_o deserve_a punishment_n of_o a_o infinite_a value_n therefore_o he_o must_v repair_v to_o he_o that_o can_v only_o repair_v in_o mercy_n to_o his_o soul_n therefore_o say_v the_o prophet_n david_n psalm_n 130.7_o verse_n hope_v in_o the_o lord_n for_o ever_o for_o with_o the_o lord_n be_v plenteous_a redemption_n and_o in_o esay_n 26.4_o trust_v in_o the_o lord_n for_o ever_o for_o in_o the_o lord_n jehovah_n be_v everlasting_a strength_n we_o have_v everlasting_a misery_n and_o trouble_n and_o distemper_n but_o with_o the_o lord_n jehovah_n be_v everlasting_a strength_n therefore_o trust_v in_o he_o for_o ever_o nay_o hence_o it_o be_v that_o our_o saviour_n say_v john_n 17.3_o this_o be_v life_n eternal_a that_o they_o know_v thou_o to_o be_v the_o very_a god_n and_o who_o thou_o have_v send_v even_o jesou_n christ_n now_o if_o you_o ask_v i_o which_o of_o these_o judgement_n i_o follow_v i_o answer_v because_o i_o love_v not_o to_o be_v as_o a_o man_n that_o be_v here_o and_o there_o and_o no_o where_o in_o truth_n but_o i_o love_v to_o be_v as_o a_o man_n that_o dwell_v at_o home_n for_o i_o be_o not_o ignorant_a that_o many_o divine_n wise_a and_o learned_a who_o part_n and_o gift_n i_o reverence_v they_o follow_v the_o former_a opinion_n and_o for_o my_o part_n i_o leave_v a_o judicious_a hearer_n to_o take_v which_o side_n he_o will_v but_o in_o truth_n the_o two_o last_o argument_n have_v prevail_v with_o i_o that_o the_o heart_n of_o a_o poor_a sinner_n believe_v and_o stay_v itself_o first_o upon_o the_o godhead_n and_o deity_n and_o afterward_o upon_o the_o humanity_n and_o i_o think_v the_o two_o former_a argument_n seem_v not_o to_o compel_v any_o man_n understanding_n for_o be_v it_o grant_v that_o the_o former_a scripture_n do_v reveal_v the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o mention_v he_o often_o as_o man_n yet_o it_o be_v as_o true_a they_o reveal_v he_o to_o be_v god_n and_o mention_v his_o godhead_n not_o mention_v at_o all_o his_o humanity_n but_o whensoever_o they_o do_v mention_v his_o humanity_n first_o it_o be_v for_o good_a reason_n partly_o by_o way_n of_o prophecy_n to_o foretell_v of_o christ_n what_o he_o shall_v be_v and_o partly_o by_o way_n of_o story_n and_o relation_n to_o relate_v of_o christ_n what_o he_o be_v yet_o this_o reason_n infer_v not_o that_o faith_n must_v therefore_o first_o lie_v hold_v upon_o the_o humanity_n before_o the_o deity_n but_o when_o the_o lord_n be_v please_v to_o reveal_v jesus_n christ_n to_o the_o soul_n in_o the_o way_n of_o conversion_n than_o we_o must_v apprehend_v christ_n as_o god_n and_o man_n in_o the_o point_n of_o conversion_n and_o then_o let_v the_o question_n be_v this_o whither_o the_o soul_n shall_v go_v for_o that_o which_o it_o want_v now_o i_o see_v no_o reason_n why_o the_o soul_n shall_v first_o go_v to_o the_o humanity_n for_o what_o it_o want_v and_o seek_v hence_o it_o be_v that_o when_o the_o scripture_n come_v to_o speak_v in_o the_o way_n of_o conversion_n the_o godhead_n be_v set_v first_o as_o in_o the_o 2_o cor._n 5.19_o god_n be_v in_o christ_n reconcile_a the_o world_n unto_o himself_o as_o god_n in_o christ_n reconcile_v the_o world_n unto_o himself_o so_o god_n reveal_v himself_o to_o his_o faithful_a minister_n and_o so_o they_o reveal_v he_o to_o the_o people_n it_o be_v the_o godhead_n that_o be_v offend_v and_o must_v first_o of_o all_o be_v please_v and_o unto_o that_o god_n we_o must_v first_o go_v for_o what_o we_o want_v so_o jeremy_n 33.16_o in_o those_o day_n judah_n shall_v be_v save_v and_o israel_n shall_v be_v save_v and_o this_o be_v the_o name_n whereby_o they_o shall_v call_v he_o the_o lord_n our_o righteousness_n so_o say_v the_o angel_n they_o shall_v call_v his_o name_n emanuel_n which_o be_v by_o interpretation_n god_n with_o we_o this_o be_v to_o the_o first_o reason_n now_o to_o the_o second_o argument_n i_o answer_v thus_o if_o it_o be_v good_a in_o reason_n that_o we_o must_v first_o go_v to_o the_o humane_a nature_n for_o these_o reason_n propound_v and_o if_o this_o be_v sufficient_a to_o call_v my_o faith_n that_o way_n because_o all_o the_o great_a work_n be_v wrought_v that_o way_n then_o much_o more_o see_v the_o humane_a nature_n be_v enable_v to_o the_o work_n by_o the_o divine_a nature_n therefore_o my_o faith_n must_v first_o look_v that_o way_n because_o the_o weight_n of_o the_o work_n lie_v upon_o the_o deity_n the_o humane_a nature_n can_v assume_v to_o take_v to_o itself_o this_o glory_n not_o be_v any_o way_n available_a to_o satisfy_v divine_a justice_n but_o that_o the_o deity_n enable_v it_o and_o therefore_o faith_n must_v first_o of_o all_o look_n unto_o that_o thus_o it_o be_v confess_v that_o the_o soul_n of_o a_o believer_n be_v advance_v to_o a_o marvellous_a high_a privilege_n now_o the_o use_n of_o it_o be_v refer_v to_o these_o three_o head_n use_v 1_o first_o be_v the_o soul_n of_o the_o faithful_a come_v thus_o near_o to_o christ_n not_o only_o to_o believe_v in_o he_o and_o to_o embrace_v he_o but_o to_o be_v one_o spirit_n with_o he_o then_o this_o may_v be_v a_o use_n of_o instruction_n and_o it_o show_v to_o we_o that_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o faithful_a be_v marvellous_a heinous_a in_o god_n account_n and_o exceed_v grievous_a to_o his_o bless_a spirit_n that_o have_v come_v so_o near_o to_o we_o and_o bring_v we_o so_o near_o unto_o himself_o every_o sin_n be_v as_o a_o mountain_n or_o as_o a_o wall_n of_o separation_n but_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o faithful_a be_v no_o less_o than_o rebellion_n not_o
alas_o i_o do_v it_o not_o it_o be_v the_o lord_n that_o wrought_v this_o heart_n in_o i_o i_o have_v see_v the_o day_n when_o i_o can_v have_v be_v as_o well_o content_a to_o hear_v the_o minister_n preach_v plain_o as_o to_o have_v a_o knife_n run_v to_o my_o heart_n but_o the_o lord_n wrought_v my_o heart_n to_o it_o therefore_o the_o spirit_n put_v that_o magnet_n stone_n of_o the_o mercy_n and_o grace_n of_o christ_n upon_o my_o heart_n he_o put_v this_o temper_n upon_o my_o heart_n and_o make_v it_o able_a to_o close_v with_o itself_o in_o the_o promise_n in_o 2_o corin._n 5.5_o when_o paul_n there_o have_v dispute_v of_o his_o desire_n to_o lay_v down_o his_o life_n for_o the_o gospel_n and_o to_o put_v his_o body_n upon_o suffer_v for_o the_o gospel_n sake_n he_o be_v even_o weary_a of_o the_o world_n and_o will_v fain_o have_v be_v go_v how_o get_v he_o this_o temper_n why_o the_o text_n say_v now_o he_o that_o have_v wrought_v we_o for_o the_o same_o thing_n if_o god_n who_o also_o have_v give_v we_o the_o earnest_n of_o his_o spirit_n it_o be_v a_o great_a while_n before_o we_o can_v be_v bring_v to_o this_o temper_n when_o all_o the_o minister_n tongue_n be_v even_o wear_v to_o the_o stump_n and_o the_o wicked_a will_v be_v wicked_a still_o yet_o the_o lord_n do_v work_v it_o so_o than_o you_o see_v that_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n by_o the_o promise_n work_v upon_o the_o soul_n and_o leave_v a_o dint_n upon_o the_o heart_n and_o so_o bring_v the_o soul_n by_o the_o spirit_n to_o close_v with_o itself_o in_o the_o promise_n and_o hence_o you_o may_v collect_v two_o thing_n for_o your_o information_n in_o this_o kind_n colect_v 1_o first_o that_o the_o believer_n be_v move_v by_o the_o stroke_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o father_n be_v make_v able_a to_o close_v with_o the_o father_n and_o the_o son_n because_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o lord_n do_v fasten_v fit_a and_o frame_v the_o heart_n hereunto_o in_o this_o manner_n and_o hence_o it_o be_v that_o the_o soul_n can_v close_v with_o the_o father_n and_o the_o son_n too_o why_o because_o the_o spirit_n which_o proceed_v and_o come_v from_o the_o father_n and_o the_o son_n be_v able_a to_o frame_v the_o soul_n to_o close_v with_o both_o for_o the_o spirit_n have_v something_o of_o the_o father_n and_o something_o of_o the_o son_n and_o therefore_o be_v able_a to_o make_v the_o soul_n to_o close_v with_o both_o 1_o john_n 1.3_o these_o thing_n have_v i_o write_v unto_o you_o that_o you_o may_v have_v fellowship_n with_o we_o holy_a john_n be_v a_o spiritual_a father_n unto_o they_o and_o he_o write_v to_o they_o that_o thereby_o they_o may_v have_v fellowship_n with_o the_o saint_n and_o he_o say_v true_o our_o fellowship_n be_v with_o the_o father_n and_o with_o his_o son_n jesus_n christ_n why_o do_v he_o not_o say_v our_o fellowship_n be_v with_o the_o father_n as_o well_o as_o to_o say_v our_o fellowship_n be_v with_o the_o father_n and_o the_o son_n because_o it_o be_v presume_v before_o hand_n that_o a_o man_n must_v have_v fellowship_n with_o the_o spirit_n before_o he_o can_v have_v fellowship_n with_o the_o father_n and_o the_o son_n because_o it_o be_v the_o spirit_n that_o have_v fit_v the_o heart_n and_o frame_v it_o to_o close_o with_o both_o colect_v 2_o second_o hence_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o the_o person_n of_o the_o believer_n may_v be_v knit_v to_o the_o person_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n the_o foot_n be_v knit_v to_o the_o head_n by_o the_o continuance_n of_o the_o order_n of_o the_o body_n and_o the_o member_n thereof_o as_o the_o foot_n be_v knit_v to_o the_o leg_n and_o the_o leg_n to_o the_o thigh_n and_o the_o thigh_n to_o the_o body_n and_o so_o to_o the_o head_n this_o be_v the_o mean_v of_o that_o phrase_n john_n 6.56_o our_o saviour_n press_v this_o hard_a upon_o the_o disciple_n and_o say_v my_o flesh_n be_v meat_n indeed_o and_o my_o blood_n be_v drink_v indeed_o he_o that_o eat_v my_o flesh_n and_o drink_v my_o blood_n dwell_v in_o i_o and_o in_o he_o then_o they_o begin_v to_o wonder_v at_o it_o and_o to_o say_v how_o can_v this_o be_v and_o yet_o christ_n say_v what_o if_o you_o see_v the_o the_o son_n of_o man_n carry_v the_o body_n of_o his_o flesh_n into_o heaven_n you_o will_v think_v it_o more_o hard_a to_o eat_v my_o flesh_n then_o yet_o you_o must_v eat_v my_o flesh_n then_o too_o how_o it_o be_v the_o spirit_n that_o quicken_v the_o flesh_n profit_v nothing_o the_o word_n that_o i_o speak_v they_o be_v spirit_n and_o life_n as_o if_o he_o have_v say_v my_o good_a spirit_n be_v in_o the_o word_n and_o promise_n close_v you_o with_o my_o spirit_n and_o then_o you_o draw_v my_o spirit_n my_o flesh_n and_o my_o blood_n down_o into_o your_o whole_a nature_n the_o word_n that_o i_o speak_v they_o be_v spirit_n and_o life_n that_o be_v my_o spirit_n be_v in_o the_o word_n of_o the_o promise_n though_o my_o body_n be_v go_v up_o into_o heaven_n therefore_o close_o you_o with_o my_o spirit_n in_o the_o promise_n and_o then_o you_o close_o with_o my_o flesh_n spiritual_o thus_o much_o for_o the_o manner_n of_o the_o union_n now_o for_o the_o order_n of_o this_o union_n how_o this_o be_v do_v and_o there_o the_o question_n will_v be_v this_o whether_o the_o believer_n be_v knit_v first_o to_o the_o humane_a nature_n of_o christ_n or_o to_o the_o divine_a nature_n 2_o quest._n 2_o i_o be_o not_o great_o willing_a to_o meddle_v with_o this_o point_n in_o this_o popular_a congregation_n because_o there_o be_v many_o wise_a and_o orthodox_n divine_v and_o godly_a too_o which_o be_v of_o contrary_a opinion_n they_o confess_v both_o but_o they_o differ_v about_o the_o order_n but_o that_o i_o may_v bring_v no_o prejudice_n to_o the_o judgement_n of_o any_o i_o will_v short_o show_v you_o the_o sum_n of_o those_o argument_n answ_n answ_n which_o either_o side_n hold_v and_o will_v show_v to_o which_o i_o do_v incline_v and_o so_o leave_v the_o point_n to_o the_o judgement_n of_o those_o that_o hear_v it_o to_o incline_v to_o which_o side_n they_o think_v best_a and_o thus_o i_o shall_v wrong_v none_o at_o all_o first_o some_o divine_n wise_a holy_a and_o orthodox_n and_o many_o too_o do_v go_v that_o way_n all_o of_o they_o have_v it_o from_o that_o root_n they_o that_o hold_v that_o the_o soul_n be_v knit_v to_o the_o humane_a nature_n of_o christ_n first_o have_v two_o reason_n for_o it_o first_o say_v they_o as_o the_o scripture_n reveal_v christ_n to_o we_o so_o also_o our_o heart_n embrace_v he_o and_o close_o with_o he_o but_o the_o scripture_n reveal_v the_o lord_n christ_n more_o often_o and_o frequent_o in_o regard_n of_o his_o manhood_n than_o in_o regard_n of_o his_o godhead_n as_o in_o that_o place_n the_o seed_n of_o the_o woman_n shall_v break_v the_o serpent_n head_n and_o such_o like_a therefore_o the_o understanding_n first_o close_v with_o this_o and_o the_o heart_n first_o receive_v it_o the_o second_o reason_n why_o they_o hold_v this_o be_v thus_o much_o if_o say_v they_o all_o the_o great_a work_n of_o our_o redemption_n both_o sanctification_n and_o justification_n and_o redemption_n be_v wrought_v in_o the_o humane_a nature_n of_o christ_n and_o as_o by_o a_o channel_n convey_v to_o we_o by_o his_o humane_a nature_n than_o it_o be_v reason_n that_o the_o soul_n shall_v first_o close_v with_o the_o humane_a nature_n but_o it_o be_v so_o that_o all_o the_o great_a work_n of_o justification_n sanctification_n etc._n etc._n be_v all_o accomplish_a in_o the_o humane_a nature_n of_o christ_n for_o as_o the_o text_n say_v he_o die_v for_o our_o sin_n and_o triumph_v over_o sin_n and_o hell_n and_o death_n therefore_o say_v they_o it_o be_v fit_a that_o the_o soul_n shall_v first_o close_v with_o the_o humane_a nature_n of_o christ_n and_o this_o be_v the_o life_n and_o pith_n of_o all_o their_o argument_n again_o other_o divine_n and_o they_o be_v wise_a and_o orthodox_n they_o hold_v this_o and_o though_o all_o hold_v the_o main_a substantial_a truth_n of_o eternal_a life_n yet_o they_o differ_v in_o this_o they_o say_v the_o believer_n be_v first_o

you_o will_v sink_v under_o the_o same_o for_o ever_o now_o i_o come_v to_o the_o reason_n of_o the_o point_n in_o general_a why_o our_o saviour_n suffer_v pain_n both_o in_o body_n and_o in_o soul_n than_o the_o reason_n of_o it_o be_v three_o and_o they_o be_v all_o of_o special_a use_n reason_n 1_o first_o it_o be_v take_v from_o the_o divine_a justice_n of_o god_n which_o require_v this_o by_o way_n of_o satisfaction_n as_o be_v only_o surable_a and_o agreeable_a to_o the_o divine_a justice_n of_o god_n by_o reason_n of_o sin_n whereby_o adam_n have_v entrench_v upon_o the_o privilege_n of_o god_n the_o father_n every_o breach_n of_o the_o law_n of_o god_n intrench_v near_o upon_o god_n himself_o and_o therefore_o every_o sin_n be_v of_o a_o provoke_a nature_n because_o it_o be_v commit_v against_o a_o infinite_a majesty_n therefore_o that_o divine_a justice_n may_v not_o be_v a_o loser_n there_o must_v be_v a_o punishment_n not_o only_o corporal_a but_o also_o spiritual_a for_o justice_n abate_v not_o any_o thing_n of_o the_o satisfaction_n god_n be_v just_a and_o this_o be_v justice_n to_o give_v every_o one_o his_o due_a honour_n to_o who_o honour_n belong_v and_o punishment_n to_o who_o punishment_n belong_v therefore_o that_o justice_n may_v be_v preserve_v she_o must_v inflict_v these_o punishment_n upon_o our_o saviour_n be_v in_o our_o room_n the_o jesuit_n have_v devise_v a_o cavil_n against_o this_o reason_n say_v they_o it_o need_v not_o that_o christ_n shall_v suffer_v these_o for_o the_o dignity_n of_o the_o person_n of_o our_o saviour_n may_v dispense_v with_o some_o part_n of_o the_o punishment_n and_o if_o he_o bear_v death_n it_o be_v sufficient_a he_o may_v be_v free_v from_o the_o other_o pain_n in_o his_o soul_n now_o that_o this_o conceit_n of_o they_o be_v a_o thing_n marvellous_a injurious_a to_o the_o justice_n of_o god_n the_o father_n and_o to_o the_o wisdom_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o to_o the_o

reason_n look_v into_o the_o nature_n of_o our_o saviour_n and_o the_o office_n of_o our_o saviour_n look_v into_o his_o manhood_n as_o he_o be_v perfect_a man_n for_o the_o seed_n of_o the_o woman_n be_v overshadow_a by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o be_v purge_v and_o sanctify_a and_o the_o course_n of_o original_a sin_n be_v stay_v and_o when_o the_o body_n be_v frame_v the_o godhead_n dwell_v bodily_a in_o christ_n and_o all_o the_o fullness_n of_o grace_n be_v in_o he_o then_o the_o point_n must_v needs_o be_v clear_a that_o there_o be_v no_o evil_a in_o he_o no_o mutability_n to_o

be_v a_o sacrifice_n for_o sin_n must_v needs_o want_v sin_n or_o else_o he_o can_v not_o be_v a_o sacrifice_n for_o sin_n so_o the_o point_n be_v clear_a we_o come_v now_o to_o the_o application_n

of_o jesus_n christ_n be_v that_o which_o we_o ought_v to_o respect_n and_o imitate_v now_o i_o come_v to_o the_o main_a proposition_n and_o that_o be_v this_o that_o the_o debt_n of_o the_o sinner_n

for_o we_o two_o thing_n i_o must_v lay_v down_o before_o i_o can_v open_v the_o point_n first_o what_o be_v mean_v by_o sin_n second_o why_o christ_n be_v say_v to_o be_v make_v sin_n first_o what_o be_v mean_v by_o sin_n answer_n
no_o man_n can_v suffer_v the_o pain_n of_o hell_n except_o he_o be_v in_o the_o very_a place_n of_o it_o against_o which_o cavil_n this_o truth_n do_v profes_o ma●ch_o for_o the_o time_n and_o

the_o place_n of_o hell_n yet_o he_o shall_v be_v as_o it_o be_v in_o heaven_n as_o esay_n 30.33_o tophet_n be_v prepare_v of_o old_a the_o burn_a thereof_o be_v fire_n and_o much_o wood_n and_o the_o

the_o place_n be_v no_o part_n of_o debt_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v no_o part_n of_o the_o payment_n but_o the_o payment_n of_o the_o money_n that_o make_v the_o satisfaction_n this_o be_v that_o which_o be_v speak_v concern_v adam_n thou_o shall_v die_v the_o death_n he_o do_v not_o say_v thou_o shall_v go_v to_o hell_n the_o wicked_a go_v to_o hell_n because_o they_o can_v pay_v as_o the_o

thus_o there_o be_v many_o reprobate_n in_o this_o life_n that_o have_v not_o only_a hell_n in_o expectation_n but_o they_o have_v it_o so_o far_o in_o fruition_n when_o the_o lord_n wound_v the_o

the_o suffering_n and_o the_o godhead_n support_v he_o in_o the_o suffering_n this_o conclusion_n i_o think_v good_a to_o add_v to_o meet_v with_o a_o strange_a dream_n of_o bellarmine_n and_o that_o

he_o be_v account_v as_o a_o sinner_n though_o he_o be_v not_o a_o sinner_n and_o he_o take_v our_o sin_n on_o he_o by_o imputation_n and_o therefore_o no_o reason_n but_o he_o shall_v suffer_v they_o
