that_o be_v guilty_a and_o again_o whether_o that_o holy_a nature_n of_o god_n do_v not_o oblige_v he_o as_o much_o not_o to_o punish_v the_o righteous_a yea_o though_o he_o be_v willing_a as_o to_o

it_o o_o wonderful_a righteousness_n of_o god_n that_o oblige_v he_o to_o punish_v a_o innocent_a person_n because_o he_o can_v pardon_v free_o the_o least_o sin_n a_o innocent_a person_n do_v i_o say_v you_o must_v suppose_v that_o this_o person_n be_v of_o equal_a worth_n to_o a_o whole_a world_n of_o innocent_a person_n and_o than_o you_o must_v suppose_v that_o god_n be_v necessitate_v

the_o punishment_n of_o man_n sin_n as_o if_o the_o whole_a world_n of_o sinner_n shall_v have_v be_v punish_v eternal_o now_o it_o follow_v clear_o that_o if_o you_o suppose_v the_o surety_n to_o have_v be_v righteous_a man_n and_o not_o jesus_n christ_n there_o must_v have_v be_v a_o whole_a world_n of_o such_o righteous_a man_n to_o have_v suffer_v eternal_o to_o have_v do_v that_o which_o christ_n do_v in_o satisfy_v for_o man_n sin_n i_o know_v they_o that_o receive_v this_o doctrine_n from_o the_o pulpit_n be_v wont_a to_o consider_v the_o suffering_n of_o christ_n as_o the_o

which_o be_v they_o say_v all_o the_o world_n and_o more_o if_o more_o there_o be_v and_o then_o let_v they_o if_o they_o can_v ascribe_v such_o a_o nature_n as_o this_o to_o the_o most_o merciful_a

such_o a_o doctrine_n he_o go_v about_o to_o prove_v the_o necessity_n of_o punishment_n of_o all_o sin_n from_o two_o consideration_n first_o from_o the_o nature_n of_o sin_n to_o which_o
