say_v and_o only_o take_v notice_n of_o the_o thing_n of_o weight_n but_o first_o it_o be_v necessary_a to_o show_v how_o we_o understand_v this_o question_n 1._o in_o what_o capacity_n christ_n stand_v when_o he_o bear_v sin_n and_o punishment_n 2._o in_o what_o sense_n he_o bear_v sin_n 3._o what_o personal_a guilt_n be_v 4._o how_o christ_n come_v to_o bear_v personal_a guilt_n a._n as_o to_o the_o first_o that_o christ_n stand_v in_o the_o capacity_n of_o a_o public_a person_n represent_v the_o whole_a body_n of_o the_o elect_a under_o the_o consideration_n of_o the_o lapse_v estate_n and_o condition_n in_o the_o first_o adam_n as_o to_o the_o second_o when_o we_o say_v christ_n bear_v sin_n it_o be_v neither_o treason_n or_o blasphemy_n as_o our_o adversary_n will_v have_v it_o because_o we_o speak_v in_o the_o language_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n however_o to_o prevent_v cavil_v we_o will_v vouchsafe_v to_o yield_v to_o the_o bp_n term_n personal_a guilt_n which_o can_v import_v nothing_o but_o the_o commit_v sin_n remain_v on_o the_o sinner_n person_n and_o conscience_n as_o a_o forbid_a and_o condemn_a fault_n by_o the_o law_n neither_o do_v we_o say_v that_o christ_n commit_v these_o sin_n or_o be_v make_v to_o have_v commit_v they_o when_o our_o sin_n be_v lay_v upon_o he_o neither_o that_o his_o nature_n be_v physical_o or_o moral_o corrupt_v thereby_o last_o we_o can_v but_o adore_v the_o wisdom_n of_o god_n in_o call_v personal_a guilt_n sin_n because_o 1._o a_o bare_a physical_a act_n as_o such_o be_v not_o sin_n and_o as_o all_o kill_a be_v not_o sin_n but_o sin_n be_v a_o physical_a act_n clothe_v with_o a_o moral_a exorbitancy_n arise_v from_o its_o relation_n to_o and_o compare_v with_o the_o law_n of_o god_n therefore_o to_o say_v the_o substratum_fw-la of_o the_o physical_a act_n or_o defect_n be_v transfer_v from_o one_o subject_n to_o another_o be_v most_o absurd_a but_o the_o guilt_n of_o this_o fact_n and_o its_o moral_a relation_n to_o the_o law_n may_v be_v transfer_v and_o take_v away_o from_o the_o subject_a transgressor_n as_o we_o shall_v make_v it_o appear_v as_o to_o the_o three_o the_o bp._n tell_v we_o what_o he_o mean_v by_o personal_a guilt_n and_o it_o be_v very_o plain_a david_n personal_a guilt_n be_v of_o murder_n and_o adultery_n so_o peter_n of_o deny_v his_o master_n now_o the_o bp._n will_v not_o have_v personal_a guilt_n ever_o to_o be_v take_v off_o from_o any_o but_o that_o david_n continue_v in_o heaven_n under_o personal_a guilt_n of_o murder_n and_o adultery_n to_o this_o day_n and_o for_o ever_o last_o christ_n come_v to_o bear_v sin_n 1._o by_o god_n call_n and_o his_o acceptance_n voluntary_o obey_v his_o father_n command_n 2._o in_o submit_v himself_o to_o a_o legal_a way_n of_o proceed_v with_o he_o when_o he_o come_v under_o the_o same_o law_n the_o transgressor_n be_v under_o 3._o by_o a_o legal_a account_v and_o impute_v our_o sin_n to_o he_o he_o come_v in_o forum_n justitiae_fw-la and_o write_v himself_o debtor_n in_o the_o room_n and_o stead_n of_o all_o the_o insolvent_a debtor_n to_o the_o law_n of_o god_n justice_n accept_v of_o he_o as_o a_o sufficient_a paymaster_n hence_o in_o the_o law_n sense_n christ_n be_v call_v by_o god_n what_o he_o be_v not_o in_o a_o natural_a sense_n rom._n 4._o he_o be_v make_v sin_n who_o know_v no_o sin_n and_o god_n call_v thing_n that_o be_v not_o as_o though_o they_o be_v both_o in_o calling_n christ_n sin_n and_o we_o righteous_a §_o 3._o now_o we_o say_v that_o commutation_n of_o person_n be_v so_o far_o and_o no_o more_o nor_o less_o than_o god_n have_v make_v it_o to_o be_v in_o his_o legal_a way_n of_o proceed_v in_o this_o great_a mystery_n that_o christ_n shall_v according_a to_o the_o preordination_n and_o constitution_n of_o the_o father_n free_o put_v himself_o under_o a_o judicial_a process_n for_o the_o sin_n of_o all_o the_o elect_a under_o the_o same_o law_n that_o they_o transgress_v and_o that_o justice_n shall_v deal_v with_o he_o as_o if_o he_o have_v be_v the_o original_a transgressor_n and_o in_o the_o stead_n thereof_o in_o transfer_v the_o charge_n upon_o he_o and_o punish_v he_o for_o sin_n hereupon_o follow_v the_o change_n that_o he_o be_v make_v sin_n and_o we_o righteousness_n in_o he_o justice_n receive_v full_a satisfaction_n for_o our_o sin_n hence_o we_o shall_v not_o much_o trouble_v ourselves_o with_o the_o many_o odious_a inference_n that_o the_o neonom_n will_v draw_v upon_o this_o glorious_a mystery_n nor_o the_o dirty_a reflection_n on_o the_o unsearchable_a wisdom_n of_o god_n the_o truth_n be_v as_o full_o and_o plain_o make_v manifest_a in_o holy_a writ_n as_o any_o doctrine_n of_o godliness_n 1._o it_o be_v plain_a that_o sin_n be_v lay_v on_o christ_n in_o some_o sense_n or_o other_o the_o scripture_n be_v so_o express_v in_o it_o 2._o it_o be_v grant_v on_o all_o hand_n the_o physical_a part_n of_o the_o act_n be_v not_o transfer_v to_o christ_n after_o which_o that_o which_o remain_v on_o the_o sinner_n be_v the_o guilt_n of_o it_o which_o be_v his_o relation_n to_o the_o law_n in_o the_o

the_o spirit_n of_o god_n call_v this_o merit_n or_o desert_n sin_n and_o shall_v we_o call_v it_o contrary_a to_o scripture_n where_o do_v the_o scripture_n say_v it_o be_v not_o it_o say_v again_o and_o again_o that_o it_o be_v and_o what_o if_o contrary_a to_o the_o bp_n reason_n be_v we_o to_o believe_v god_n or_o man_n be_v the_o bp_n reason_n the_o rule_n of_o our_o faith_n what_o if_o the_o same_o word_n be_v use_v in_o scripture_n for_o sin_n and_o punishment_n i_o grant_v that_o one_o word_n in_o hebrew_n be_v use_v for_o sin_n and_o the_o sacrifice_n for_o sin_n sometime_o but_o when_o it_o be_v use_v for_o the_o sacrifice_n it_o be_v therefore_o use_v because_o sin_n be_v judicial_o transfer_v to_o the_o sacrifice_n that_o it_o bear_v the_o sin_n of_o the_o transgressor_n so_o that_o it_o become_v the_o formalis_fw-la ratio_fw-la of_o its_o suffer_v and_o therefore_o it_o be_v denominate_v from_o its_o most_o essential_a cause_n to_o say_v it_o be_v a_o tropical_a word_n be_v not_o much_o to_o the_o purpose_n it_o be_v such_o as_o express_v the_o very_a nature_n of_o the_o thing_n as_o often_o in_o scripture_n by_o a_o metonimy_n sensus_fw-la pornitur_fw-la

merit_v that_o a_o surety_n shall_v be_v punish_v for_o he_o this_o be_v by_o gracious_a surrogation_n or_o substitution_n and_o it_o be_v to_o contradict_v scripture_n to_o make_v punishment_n separable_a from_o guilt_n and_o for_o good_a reason_n to_o for_o no_o just_a law_n punish_v any_o one_o but_o the_o guilty_a whereby_o it_o be_v always_o say_v that_o sin_n lie_v upon_o he_o i._n

the_o bp._n say_v he_o answer_v distinct_o that_o there_o be_v three_o way_n our_o sin_n be_v say_v to_o have_v relation_n to_o christ_n suffering_n 1._o as_o a_o external_a impulsive_a cause_n no_o

this_o point_n 2._o as_o a_o impulsive_a cause_n become_v meritorious_a by_o the_o voluntary_a act_n of_o christ_n undertake_v to_o satisfy_v divine_a justice_n for_o our_o sin_n and_o not_o as_o

distinction_n or_o explication_n do_v this_o become_v learned_a divine_n the_o rebukers_n article_n which_o he_o bring_v into_o court_n be_v i_o find_v to_o the_o number_n of_o 21_o but_o it_o seem_v the_o judicious_a bp._n contract_v they_o to_o six_o which_o he_o have_v call_v we_o to_o appear_v to_o look_v upon_o the_o rest_n i_o suppose_v as_o frivolous_a illiterate_a or_o spiteful_a the_o six_o with_o my_o respective_a answer_n be_v as_o follow_v er._n 1._o that_o pardon_n be_v rather_o the_o condition_n of_o faith_n have_v a_o causal_a influence_n thereunto_o then_o faith_n and_o repentance_n be_v of_o pardon_n a._n the_o word_n be_v i_o in_o transitu_fw-la of_o a_o discourse_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v very_o unfair_a to_o expose_v they_o without_o show_v their_o dependence_n 1._o i_o have_v show_v and_o prove_v and_o will_v stand_v by_o it_o that_o pardon_v faith_n and_o repentance_n belong_v not_o to_o the_o conditional_a part_n of_o the_o new_a covenant_n but_o to_o the_o promisory_a 2._o that_o pardon_n faith_n and_o repentance_n although_o they_o be_v not_o foederal_n condition_n yet_o be_v connect_v in_o the_o promise_n may_v have_v a_o connexion_n conditional_a give_v to_o they_o as_o if_o a_o man_n believe_v he_o receive_v pardon_n in_o believe_v if_o he_o repent_v he_o will_v believe_v if_o he_o repent_v and_o believe_v he_o shall_v be_v save_v and_o i_o renounce_v not_o the_o scripture_n language_n in_o anything_o but_o desire_v to_o understand_v and_o explain_v it_o in_o its_o true_a and_o genuine_a sense_n 3._o i_o say_v that_o if_o we_o talk_v of_o the_o foederal_n conditionality_n of_o faith_n to_o pardon_n pardon_n be_v rather_o a_o foederal_n condition_n of_o faith_n and_o repentance_n than_o faith_n of_o pardon_n i_o say_v not_o that_o it_o be_v but_o rather_o because_o distinguish_a pardon_n aright_o into_o active_a and_o passive_a i_o say_v pardon_v passive_a receive_v can_v be_v without_o faith_n to_o receive_v it_o but_o pardon_v active_a must_v be_v before_o faith_n 1._o because_o the_o object_n that_o the_o hand_n receive_v must_v be_v before_o the_o instrument_n that_o receive_v it_o 2._o the_o grace_n of_o pardon_n be_v in_o god_n to_o be_v bestow_v before_o we_o receive_v it_o 3._o there_o be_v pardon_n in_o christ_n for_o all_o that_o shall_v believe_v jo._n 17.20_o see_v what_o mr._n capel_n say_v on_o this_o point_n it_o be_v one_o thing_n for_o all_o the_o sin_n of_o all_o the_o elect_n to_o be_v pardon_v to_o christ_n for_o they_o that_o be_v do_v before_o we_o be_v or_o our_o sin_n be_v another_o thing_n to_o be_v pardon_v to_o they_o christ_n be_v make_v a_o curse_n for_o we_o by_o imputation_n for_o that_o the_o father_n do_v impute_v all_o our_o sin_n as_o a_o judge_n to_o christ_n as_o our_o surety_n the_n true_a notion_n of_o imputation_n that_o it_o be_v not_o a_o act_n of_o grace_n but_o a_o judicial_a act_n and_o god_n do_v exact_v all_o of_o he_o as_o guilty_a by_o that_o law_n etc._n etc._n 3._o pardon_v in_o god_n and_o in_o christ_n have_v a_o causal_a influence_n on_o faith_n and_o repentance_n 1._o pardon_n be_v a_o essential_a cause_n of_o a_o pardon_a person_n the_o abstract_n be_v the_o formal_a cause_n of_o the_o concrete_a pardon_v grace_n do_v effectual_o work_v all_o grace_n of_o the_o spirit_n in_o we_o the_o pardon_v grace_n of_o the_o father_n son_n and_o spirit_n 2._o the_o gospel_n preach_v to_o sinner_n which_o be_v pardon_n of_o sin_n the_o gospel_n preach_v to_o abraham_n be_v that_o which_o work_v faith_n through_o the_o effectual_a operation_n of_o the_o spirit_n act._n 13.39_o rom._n 10.15_o and_o it_o be_v preach_v to_o david_n by_o nathan_n 2_o sam._n 12.17_o as_o do_v before_o his_o particular_a repentance_n express_v psal_n 51._o therefore_o if_o we_o talk_v of_o foederal_n condition_n pardon_n be_v rather_o such_o than_o faith_n and_o repentance_n because_o it_o be_v in_o nature_n as_o well_o as_o time_n antecedent_n and_o such_o a_o antecedent_n as_o have_v a_o causal_a influence_n and_o hence_o i_o also_o assert_v that_o every_o necessary_a antecedent_n though_o with_o causal_a influence_n upon_o the_o consequent_a be_v not_o a_o foederal_n condition_n er._n 2._o that_o sin_n itself_o as_o oppose_v to_o gild_n be_v lay_v on_o christ_n and_o christ_n be_v repute_v a_o criminal_a not_o only_o by_o man_n but_o god_n a._n as_o to_o the_o first_o clause_n they_o shall_v have_v point_v out_o the_o person_n that_o say_v it_o if_o i_o speak_v it_o or_o write_v it_o i_o be_v asleep_o then_o for_o when_o we_o say_v sin_n be_v lay_v on_o christ_n we_o speak_v not_o of_o it_o by_o way_n of_o opposition_n unto_o gild_n but_o by_o way_n of_o identity_n or_o sameness_n with_o gild_n in_o the_o dialect_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n our_o use_n of_o the_o word_n gild_n be_v but_o a_o apt_a exegetical_a term_n to_o express_v the_o meaning_n of_o sin_n in_o this_o point_n because_o the_o physical_a substratum_fw-la of_o sin_n can_v be_v transfer_v to_o another_o but_o the_o law_n relation_n may_v as_o to_o the_o second_o charge_n 1._o it_o will_v be_v easy_o grant_v by_o the_o accuser_n that_o a_o sinner_n debt_n to_o the_o law_n be_v crime_n 2._o to_o say_v he_o be_v a_o repute_v criminal_a in_o law_n only_o be_v by_o a_o receive_a sense_n to_o justify_v the_o personal_a and_o absolute_a innocency_n of_o christ_n in_o himself_o 3._o i_o suppose_v they_o will_v not_o deny_v that_o if_o sin_n be_v charge_v on_o christ_n for_o the_o delivery_n of_o sinner_n it_o be_v do_v by_o god_n as_o his_o act_n and_o not_o by_o the_o false_a accusation_n of_o satan_n or_o his_o instrument_n for_o the_o salvation_n of_o sinner_n by_o his_o bear_a sin_n be_v never_o their_o design_n and_o it_o be_v say_v god_n lay_v upon_o he_o the_o iniquity_n of_o we_o all_o isa_n 53.4_o the_o term_n criminal_a may_v possible_o be_v use_v by_o some_o or_o other_o with_o a_o good_a mean_v but_o i_o look_v not_o upon_o it_o as_o proper_a and_o i_o do_v know_v that_o i_o have_v use_v it_o if_o i_o have_v i_o have_v better_o consider_v of_o it_o 1._o because_o though_o the_o scripture_n say_v sin_n be_v lay_v on_o christ_n and_o that_o he_o be_v make_v sin_n yet_o it_o say_v not_o that_o he_o be_v a_o sinner_n or_o a_o criminal_a 2._o because_o his_o bear_a sin_n and_o be_v make_v so_o it_o plain_o imply_v that_o he_o be_v not_o so_o in_o himself_o but_o make_v so_o by_o law_n imputation_n and_o by_o stand_v in_o a_o surety_n relation_n to_o the_o law_n for_o we_o 3._o a_o sinner_n or_o criminal_a do_v in_o a_o ordinary_a and_o common_a acceptation_n import_v a_o committer_n or_o perpetrator_n of_o sin_n which_o christ_n never_o be_v not_o repute_v by_o god_n so_o to_o be_v therefore_o herein_o god_n show_v his_o wonderful_a wisdom_n in_o teach_v we_o to_o speak_v of_o christ_n in_o this_o great_a mystery_n with_o so_o much_o exactness_n er._n 3._o that_o the_o doctrine_n of_o justification_n before_o faith_n be_v not_o a_o error_n but_o a_o great_a and_o glorious_a truth_n and_o therefore_o we_o believe_v that_o we_o may_v be_v justify_v declarative_o a._n it_o be_v a_o error_n and_o it_o be_v not_o a_o error_n it_o be_v a_o error_n to_o say_v justification_n by_o faith_n be_v before_o faith_n in_o time_n and_o a_o contradiction_n in_o adjecto_fw-la therefore_o i_o never_o say_v so_o for_o justification_n by_o faith_n can_v be_v before_o faith_n be_v in_o the_o receiver_n to_o receive_v it_o by_o but_o that_o justification_n be_v before_o faith_n be_v a_o glorious_a truth_n and_o this_o i_o must_v affirm_v for_o truth_n that_o there_o be_v justification_n before_o faith_n if_o we_o distinguish_v of_o justification_n aright_o as_o of_o pardon_n and_o say_v it_o be_v active_o and_o passive_o to_o be_v understand_v active_a justification_n be_v in_o god_n that_o justifi_v rom._n 8._o the_o grace_n of_o

such_o fruit_n 3._o james_n show_v how_o god_n often_o bear_v witness_n and_o approve_v of_o particular_a action_n which_o man_n be_v ready_a to_o condemn_v such_o as_o abraham_n offer_v up_o his_o
