divine_a power_n as_o his_o sin_n be_v heap_v up_o many_o sin_n make_v a_o deep_a separation_n nay_o if_o we_o consider_v the_o eternal_a decree_n of_o god_n or_o as_o it_o be_v manifest_v in_o time_n and_o this_o either_o negative_o or_o affirmative_o that_o be_v as_o he_o deny_v save_v grace_n unto_o some_o or_o as_o he_o will_v to_o throw_v they_o down_o to_o endless_a misery_n sin_n be_v the_o

the_o prophet_n ezechiell_n that_o soul_n that_o sin_v that_o soul_n shall_v die_v 18._o ezech._n 18._o with_o which_o the_o apostle_n paul_n accord_v 5.6_o ephes_n 5.6_o for_o these_o thing_n say_v he_o come_v the_o wrath_n of_o god_n upon_o the_o child_n of_o disobedience_n hence_o it_o be_v 13.9_o hos_fw-la 13.9_o that_o the_o lord_n conclude_v by_o the_o prophet_n hosea_n thy_o iniquity_n have_v destroy_v thou_o oh_o israel_n furthermore_o hatred_n and_o wrath_n as_o they_o be_v punishment_n be_v not_o infflict_v but_o for_o sin_n but_o god_n hate_v esau_n penal_o and_o he_o will_v show_v his_o wrath_n in_o the_o destruction_n of_o the_o wicked_a therefore_o for_o sin_n brief_o the_o doctrine_n be_v clear_a he_o deliver_v none_o to_o death_n but_o for_o thing_n worthy_a of_o death_n for_o the_o wage_n of_o sin_n be_v death_n 6.23_o rom._n 6.23_o how_o fit_o therefore_o may_v this_o instruct_v we_o to_o remove_v all_o murmur_a and_o to_o loath_a and_o detest_v all_o sin_n and_o wickedness_n first_o to_o remove_v all_o murmur_a and_o repine_v against_o god_n for_o be_v the_o hand_n of_o god_n upon_o thou_o and_o do_v he_o begin_v to_o execute_v his_o wrath_n murmur_v not_o against_o he_o but_o look_v into_o thy_o own_o soul_n and_o behold_v thy_o sin_n and_o thy_o transgression_n for_o they_o have_v cause_v that_o judgement_n 33.17_o ezech._n 33.17_o and_o remember_v that_o the_o way_n of_o the_o lord_n be_v equal_a for_o he_o deliver_v none_o to_o death_n but_o for_o thing_n worthy_a of_o death_n but_o that_o thy_o own_o way_n be_v unequal_a for_o thou_o have_v wilful_o heap_v up_o sin_n against_o his_o majesty_n and_o therefore_o have_v deserve_v wrath_n and_o judgement_n from_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o lord_n we_o may_v see_v 1._o sam._n 15._o that_o god_n reject_v saul_n 15._o 1._o sam._n 15._o but_o what_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o his_o transgression_n and_o rebellion_n wherefore_o the_o prophet_n tell_v he_o that_o to_o obey_v be_v better_a than_o sacrifice_n and_o to_o hearken_v be_v better_a than_o the_o fat_a of_o ram_n but_o that_o rebellion_n be_v as_o the_o sin_n of_o witchcraft_n and_o transgression_n be_v wickedness_n and_o idolatry_n we_o may_v also_o see_v in_o the_o twenty_o four_o verse_n of_o this_o chapter_n that_o the_o lord_n deliver_v up_o the_o gentile_n unto_o their_o heart_n lust_n etc._n etc._n and_o

for_o these_o the_o lord_n deliver_v they_o up_o unto_o a_o reprobate_a condition_n oh_o then_o if_o the_o justice_n of_o god_n seize_v upon_o thou_o murmur_v not_o against_o his_o majesty_n but_o rather_o cry_v out_o against_o thyself_o who_o by_o thy_o sin_n haste_v provoke_v the_o lord_n wrath_n against_o thou_o for_o he_o be_v so_o equal_a that_o he_o throw_v none_o to_o death_n but_o for_o thing_n worthy_a of_o death_n second_o this_o shall_v instruct_v we_o to_o loath_a and_o detest_v sin_n and_o wickedness_n for_o as_o god_n be_v so_o equal_a that_o he_o throw_v none_o to_o death_n but_o for_o thing_n worthy_a of_o death_n so_o we_o see_v he_o be_v so_o just_a that_o for_o thing_n worthy_a of_o death_n he_o throw_v they_o down_o to_o death_n oh_o then_o why_o shall_v any_o be_v so_o bold_a to_o entertain_v sin_n and_o wickedness_n 9.18_o esay_n 9.18_o oh_o remember_v we_o that_o wickedness_n burn_v like_o fire_n all_o wickedness_n whatsoever_o 7.8_o ecclus._n 7.8_o

the_o misery_n that_o sin_n bring_v upon_o they_o that_o so_o they_o may_v loathe_v and_o detest_v all_o sin_n and_o wickedness_n oh_o that_o this_o instruction_n may_v receive_v due_a impression_n upon_o their_o soul_n for_o we_o see_v it_o plain_a that_o as_o god_n be_v so_o equal_a that_o he_o throw_v down_o none_o to_o death_n but_o for_o thing_n worthy_a of_o death_n so_o the_o consequent_a

of_o the_o pollution_n of_o the_o gentile_n they_o commit_v thing_n worthy_a of_o death_n come_v i_o now_o unto_o the_o form_n of_o their_o pollution_n how_o they_o commit_v these_o thing_n namely_o wilful_o &_o willing_o for_o know_v the_o justice_n of_o god_n that_o be_v against_o these_o sin_n yet_o they_o commit_v they_o wherein_o i_o consider_v first_o how_o god_n may_v be_v say_v to_o be_v just_a second_o what_o be_v mean_v by_o justice_n in_o this_o place_n for_o the_o better_a open_n whereof_o consider_v we_o that_o a_o thing_n may_v be_v say_v to_o be_v just_a in_o a_o threefold_a manner_n punishment_n we_o be_v justify_v by_o christ_n righteousness_n not_o subjective_o but_o effective_o not_o material_o as_o inherent_a within_o we_o but_o relative_o and_o by_o way_n of_o imputation_n god_n in_o his_o mercy_n repute_v it_o to_o every_o believer_n as_o his_o own_o proper_a righteousness_n wherefore_o when_o the_o scripture_n in_o any_o place_n express_v the_o saint_n of_o god_n to_o be_v just_a or_o justify_v the_o meaning_n be_v not_o that_o they_o have_v no_o sin_n but_o that_o it_o be_v not_o impute_v for_o the_o material_a or_o blot_n of_o sin_n remain_v in_o some_o measure_n in_o the_o best_a of_o god_n child_n during_o their_o whole_a life_n in_o this_o world_n as_o the_o scripture_n plain_o witness_v only_o it_o be_v take_v away_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o formal_a thereof_o that_o be_v in_o respect_n of_o the_o guilt_n thereof_o and_o the_o vindictive_a punishment_n by_o grace_n by_o voluntary_a obedience_n or_o by_o nature_n first_o by_o grace_n so_o the_o saint_n and_o

servant_n of_o god_n may_v be_v say_v to_o be_v just_a subiective_o or_o inhesive_o only_o inchoative_o which_o be_v their_o sanctification_n relative_o imputative_o christ_n righteousness_n through_o faith_n be_v reckon_v and_o impute_v as_o they_o which_o be_v their_o justification_n again_o second_o by_o voluntary_a obedience_n one_o may_v be_v say_v to_o be_v just_a so_o be_v adam_n just_a in_o the_o state_n of_o innocence_n so_o be_v it_o most_o true_o say_v of_o christ_n who_o by_o his_o voluntary_a and_o perfect_a obedience_n fulfil_v the_o whole_a law_n of_o god_n three_o by_o nature_n one_o may_v be_v say_v to_o be_v just_a &_o that_o either_o as_o make_v so_o by_o the_o benefit_n of_o another_o or_o else_o original_o by_o himself_o and_o of_o his_o own_o nature_n in_o the_o first_o kind_n it_o may_v be_v true_o speak_v in_o like_a manner_n of_o the_o first_o adam_n who_o be_v just_a by_o nature_n as_o be_v make_v so_o by_o the_o benefit_n and_o bounty_n of_o his_o creator_n and_o most_o true_o may_v it_o also_o be_v speak_v of_o the_o second_o adam_n christ_n jesus_n who_o be_v conceive_v in_o the_o womb_n of_o a_o virgin_n without_o any_o spot_n of_o sin_n by_o the_o virtual_a operation_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n but_o now_o concern_v god_n he_o be_v just_a in_o a_o far_o different_a and_o far_o more_o excellent_a manner_n for_o he_o be_v not_o make_v just_a but_o he_o be_v just_o original_o of_o himself_o and_o by_o himself_o in_o his_o essence_n and_o nature_n therefore_o it_o be_v only_o true_a of_o god_n that_o he_o be_v simpliciter_fw-la iustùs_fw-la simple_o just_a which_o can_v be_v say_v of_o any_o other_o thing_n whatsoever_o for_o although_o it_o may_v be_v say_v of_o the_o regenerate_a that_o by_o remission_n of_o sin_n and_o the_o imputation_n of_o christ_n righteousness_n they_o be_v perfect_o just_a yet_o it_o be_v false_a and_o erroneous_a to_o say_v that_o they_o be_v simple_o just_a nay_o christ_n himself_o although_o as_o he_o be_v man_n he_o may_v be_v say_v to_o be_v just_a natural_o habitual_o and_o hypostatical_o yet_o simple_o he_o can_v be_v say_v to_o be_v because_o whatsoever_o justice_n he_o have_v as_o he_o be_v man_n he_o have_v it_o by_o participation_n from_o his_o divine_a nature_n but_o god_n be_v so_o just_a that_o he_o be_v his_o own_o justice_n for_o justice_n be_v not_o in_o god_n as_o a_o accident_n in_o the_o subject_n or_o by_o way_n of_o composition_n but_o of_o essential_a union_n for_o all_o the_o propriety_n of_o god_n be_v essential_a he_o be_v essential_o just_a he_o be_v essential_o good_a and_o therefore_o justice_n and_o goodness_n itself_o and_o consequent_o it_o be_v true_a only_a of_o god_n that_o he_o be_v simple_o just_a this_o our_o saviour_n christ_n do_v plain_o witness_v 19.17_o mat._n 19.17_o who_o tell_v we_o there_o be_v none_o good_a but_o god_n that_o be_v simple_o and_o absolute_o good_a as_o of_o himself_o and_o by_o himself_o nay_o if_o we_o speak_v proper_o and_o strict_o none_o can_v be_v say_v to_o be_v so_o much_o as_o perfect_o good_a est_fw-la quod_fw-la tale_n est_fw-la ex_fw-la participatione_fw-la imperfectè_fw-la tale_n est_fw-la or_o perfect_o just_a or_o perfect_o holy_a neither_o angel_n nor_o man_n for_o it_o be_v a_o clear_a rule_n that_o that_o which_o be_v such_o as_o it_o be_v by_o participation_n be_v

thus_o we_o see_v how_o god_n may_v be_v say_v to_o be_v just_a namely_o simple_o and_o absolute_o in_o a_o far_o more_o excellent_a manner_n than_o any_o other_o thing_n whatsoever_o as_o be_v
