will_v not_o conceive_v that_o they_o may_v have_v something_o to_o say_v against_o we_o be_v all_o easy_o clear_v and_o answer_v by_o this_o explication_n of_o the_o same_o by_o that_o which_o have_v

with_o god_n have_v show_v how_o christ_n as_o a_o mediator_n interpose_v himself_o between_o god_n and_o we_o when_o we_o be_v his_o enemy_n and_o how_o he_o be_v the_o head_n of_o that_o bless_a

wherefore_o that_o we_o may_v the_o better_o conceive_v what_o be_v necessary_a to_o be_v do_v or_o suffer_v to_o satisfy_v the_o justice_n of_o god_n we_o must_v consider_v sin_n in_o the_o nature_n of_o a_o wrong_n and_o in_o the_o nature_n of_o sin_n in_o the_o nature_n of_o a_o wrong_n and_o so_o two_o thing_n be_v require_v for_o the_o pacify_v of_o god_n wrath_n for_o first_o he_o that_o have_v do_v wrong_a must_v restore_v that_o he_o unjust_o take_v away_o from_o he_o who_o he_o wrong_v and_o second_o he_o must_v do_v something_o in_o recompense_n of_o the_o wrong_n he_o do_v as_o if_o he_o take_v away_o another_o man_n good_a name_n by_o false_a and_o lie_a report_n he_o must_v not_o only_o restore_v it_o to_o he_o again_o by_o acknowledge_v that_o the_o thing_n be_v untrue_a

we_o for_o sin_n as_o sin_n two_o thing_n must_v be_v employ_v for_o first_o the_o punishment_n must_v be_v sustain_v that_o sin_n deserve_v and_o second_o that_o obedience_n must_v be_v perform_v that_o shall_v have_v be_v yield_v while_o sin_n be_v commit_v but_o be_v neglect_v for_o if_o only_a the_o punishment_n be_v sustain_v we_o may_v escape_v the_o condemnation_n of_o death_n but_o we_o can_v inherit_v eternal_a life_n unless_o the_o righteousness_n and_o obedience_n which_o god_n law_n require_v be_v find_v in_o we_o also_o now_o the_o law_n of_o god_n require_v obedience_n not_o

blessedness_n and_o though_o the_o performance_n of_o that_o obedience_n that_o be_v neglect_v may_v seem_v to_o be_v in_o the_o nature_n of_o merit_n rather_o than_o satisfaction_n yet_o in_o that_o it_o be_v not_o simple_o the_o merit_v and_o procure_v of_o favour_n and_o acceptation_n but_o the_o recover_n of_o lose_a friendship_n and_o the_o regain_n of_o renew_a love_n it_o be_v right_o esteem_v to_o pertain_v unto_o satisfaction_n touch_v sin_n consider_v in_o the_o nature_n of_o a_o offence_n &_o wrong_n and_o the_o thing_n require_v to_o pacify_v god_n wrath_n in_o that_o respect_n there_o be_v no_o question_n but_o that_o the_o sinner_n himself_o that_o wrong_v god_n in_o sin_v must_v by_o sorrow_n of_o heart_n dislike_a and_o detest_a and_o by_o confession_n of_o
