A91862	ʼIgeret HaMaskil Iggeret hammashkil. Or, An admonitory epistle unto Mr Rich. Baxter, and Mr Tho. Hotchkiss, about their applications (or mis-applications rather) of several texts of Scripture (tending cheifly) to prove that the afflictions of the godly are proper punishments. Unto which are prefixed two dissertations; the one against Mr. Baxter's dangerous problems and positions, about the immanent acts of Gods knowledge and will, as if any of those could be said (without blasphemy) to begin in God, in time, and not to be eternal as himself is: or, as if God could be said (without derogation to His infinite perfections) to begin to know and will in time, any thing which He did not know and will before, yea from all eternity: the other, both against Mr. Baxter and Mr. Hotchkiss, about their definition of pardon and remission of sins, in opposition to great Doctor Twisse's definition of pardon, as it is in God from all eternity towards his elect in Christ. / By William Robertson, Mr. of Arts from the University of Edenburgh.

that_o he_o do_v deny_v what_o you_o affirm_v about_o the_o point_n for_o say_v you_o the_o nature_n of_o remission_n of_o sin_n consist_v in_o the_o take_n away_o of_o the_o punishment_n itself_o so_o say_v the_o doctor_n that_o the_o very_a quiddity_n of_o remission_n of_o sin_n be_v punitionis_fw-la negatio_fw-la the_o deny_v of_o the_o punishment_n or_o the_o deny_v to_o punish_v and_o what_o be_v that_o but_o to_o take_v it_o away_o how_o do_v he_o then_o contradict_v you_o when_o he_o affirm_v the_o very_a thing_n that_o you_o affirm_v but_o 2._o whereas_o he_o say_v also_o that_o remission_n of_o sin_n be_v negatio_fw-la volitionis_fw-la puniendi_fw-la the_o denial_n of_o the_o will_v to_o punish_v or_o a_o will_v not_o to_o punish_v yet_o this_o do_v not_o infer_v that_o he_o

to_o contradict_v or_o deny_v what_o you_o say_v you_o affirm_v that_o remission_n of_o sin_n be_v the_o take_v away_o of_o the_o punishment_n itself_o the_o doctor_n say_v that_o remission_n of_o sin_n be_v indeed_o or_o may_v be_v say_v to_o be_v the_o negation_n or_o the_o take_n away_o of_o the_o punishment_n itself_o this_o be_v not_o to_o deny_v or_o contradict_v what_o you_o say_v i_o be_o sure_a but_o to_o say_v the_o same_o with_o you_o but_o the_o doctor_n say_v also_o and_o i_o hope_v with_o more_o reason_n than_o you_o can_v oppugn_v it_o that_o remission_n of_o sin_n be_v or_o may_v be_v say_v not_o only_o to_o be_v the_o negation_n of_o the_o punishment_n itself_o but_o also_o to_o be_v the_o negation_n of_o the_o will_v to_o punish_v or_o the_o act_n of_o the_o will_n determine_v not_o to_o punish_v but_o he_o do_v not_o say_v that_o remission_n of_o sin_n be_v only_o this_o act_n of_o the_o will_v not_o to_o punish_v therefore_o this_o be_v to_o say_v somewhat_o more_o than_o you_o say_v indeed_o but_o it_o be_v not_o to_o contradict_v or_o deny_v what_o you_o say_v since_o he_o also_o affirm_v and_o grant_v it_o else_o when_o mr._n baxter_n say_v that_o remission_n of_o sin_n consist_v in_o the_o dissolve_v of_o the_o obligation_n to_o punishment_n and_o you_o acknowledge_v that_o same_o yet_o you_o do_v add_v to_o it_o somewhat_o more_o and_o say_v that_o the_o negation_n or_o take_v away_o of_o the_o punishment_n itself_o be_v also_o to_o be_v call_v remission_n of_o sin_n do_v this_o contradict_v what_o mr._n baxter_n say_v no_o yourself_o do_v affirm_v that_o you_o do_v not_o contradict_v he_o in_o so_o say_v and_o whether_o do_v the_o doctor_n contradict_v what_o either_o of_o you_o say_v because_o he_o say_v somewhat_o more_o rational_o then_o both_o of_o you_o say_v 3._o but_o further_a neither_o do_v the_o doctor_n say_v in_o these_o word_n transcribe_v by_o you_o positive_o that_o the_o determination_n of_o the_o will_v not_o to_o punish_v be_v formal_o remission_n of_o sin_n but_o he_o say_v only_o disjunctive_o thus_o the_o remission_n of_o sin_n in_o the_o nature_n of_o it_o be_v nothing_o else_o but_o either_o the_o negation_n of_o the_o punishment_n or_o the_o negation_n of_o the_o will_v to_o punish_v leave_v it_o full_o free_a to_o you_o which_o part_n of_o the_o disjunction_n to_o choose_v and_o which_o you_o please_v you_o may_v like_o best_a without_o any_o contradiction_n of_o he_o to_o you_o or_o of_o you_o to_o he_o if_o you_o choose_v either_o of_o those_o disjunctive_a part_n and_o where_o be_v then_o the_o doctor_n contradiction_n of_o you_o or_o his_o deny_v what_o you_o affirm_v but_o last_o sir_n what_o if_o the_o doctor_n shall_v contradict_v you_o by_o affirm_v indeed_o what_o you_o so_o much_o labour_n to_o disprove_v in_o he_o i_o say_v that_o he_o than_o do_v no_o more_o contradict_v you_o than_o you_o do_v contradict_v the_o truth_n and_o your_o contradiction_n of_o he_o even_o under_o all_o the_o great_a patrociny_n and_o protection_n with_o which_o you_o conceive_v yourself_o secure_o shelter_v be_v nothing_o less_o than_o the_o

itself_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n sir_n i_o do_v propose_v the_o question_n above_o name_v to_o any_o retional_a understanding_n and_o i_o be_o confident_a the_o very_a rational_a light_n of_o natural_a reason_n will_v dictate_v unto_o i_o this_o answer_n that_o god_n may_v and_o can_v if_o he_o will_v have_v pardon_v adam_n free_o without_o infinite_a satisfaction_n nay_o i_o say_v that_o there_o be_v no_o impossibility_n nor_o repugnant_a implication_n of_o contradiction_n in_o this_o supposition_n but_o that_o when_o god_n call_v to_o adam_n in_o paradise_n as_o he_o flee_v foolish_o for_o fear_v and_o shame_n to_o hide_v himself_o and_o after_o he_o have_v convince_v he_o of_o his_o sin_n and_o draw_v he_o to_o a_o humble_a acknowledgement_n of_o it_o as_o nathan_n do_v to_o

god_n may_v not_o only_o have_v pardon_v he_o as_o nathan_n declare_v david_n to_o be_v pardon_v but_o he_o may_v also_o have_v immediate_o if_o he_o have_v please_v translate_v he_o to_o glory_n by_o take_v he_o up_o present_o to_o himself_o so_o that_o he_o shall_v have_v live_v no_o long_o upon_o earth_n as_o he_o do_v to_o enoch_n i_o say_v the_o light_n of_o nature_n demonstrate_v that_o god_n may_v and_o can_v have_v do_v so_o if_o he_o have_v please_v without_o any_o wrong_n or_o contradiction_n to_o his_o righteousness_n and_o justice_n for_o the_o rational_a light_n of_o nature_n

where_o will_v then_o have_v be_v the_o dissolve_v of_o the_o obligation_n to_o punishment_n by_o the_o law_n of_o grace_n when_o in_o the_o case_n suppose_v the_o law_n of_o grace_n will_v not_o have_v be_v at_o all_o proclaim_v to_o dissolve_v any_o obligation_n to_o punishment_n by_o the_o law_n of_o death_n what_o will_v have_v be_v more_o in_o such_o a_o pardon_n in_o that_o or_o the_o like_a case_n than_o the_o mere_a free_a and_o gracious_a will_n of_o god_n free_o pass_v from_o his_o right_n of_o the_o strictness_n of_o rigorous_a punishment_n and_o so_o resolve_v not_o to_o

there_o will_v have_v be_v nothing_o here_o in_o such_o a_o pardon_n but_o the_o will_n and_o the_o purpose_n of_o it_o not_o to_o punish_v and_o so_o free_v from_o deserve_a punishment_n and_o yet_o this_o will_v have_v be_v as_o perfect_v a_o pardon_n i_o think_v as_o adam_n will_v have_v desire_v and_o it_o will_v have_v be_v as_o proper_a a_o pardon_n as_o any_o that_o can_v be_v so_o call_v
