3.22_o god_n be_v the_o principal_a author_n of_o this_o righteousness_n and_o christ_n be_v a_o instrumental_a agent_n therein_o now_o that_o in_o christ_n which_o be_v impute_v to_o we_o for_o

belong_v not_o to_o he_o because_o the_o scripture_n testify_v that_o none_o can_v forgive_v sin_n but_o god_n because_o all_o sin_n be_v against_o god_n therefore_o none_o can_v for_o give_v it_o but_o god_n but_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o christ_n take_v the_o authority_n of_o forgive_a sin_n son_n say_v christ_n thy_o sin_n be_v forgive_v thou_o luke_n 7.48_o answ_n because_o many_o think_v

none_o can_v forgive_v sin_n but_o god_n but_o christ_n do_v forgive_v sin_n luke_n 7.48_o therefore_o christ_n be_v god_n i_o shall_v reply_v to_o your_o major_n that_o none_o can_v forgive_v sin_n but_o god_n 1._o by_o object_v against_o the_o witness_n you_o bring_v for_o it_o for_o your_o proof_n allude_v to_o that_o which_o we_o have_v in_o mark_n 2.7_o who_o can_v for_o give_v sin_n but_o god_n only_o this_o though_o it_o be_v in_o the_o scripture_n yet_o be_v it_o no_o part_n of_o the_o standard_n for_o the_o dark_a scribe_n who_o be_v enemy_n to_o christ_n do_v speak_v it_o 2._o by_o object_v against_o the_o doctrine_n you_o teach_v in_o it_o that_o none_o can_v for_o give_v sin_n in_o any_o sense_n but_o god_n only_o may_v pass_v for_o a_o error_n for_o it_o be_v the_o duty_n of_o all_o man_n to_o for_o give_v other_o those_o sin_n they_o commit_v against_o they_o matth._n 6.14_o and_o it_o be_v the_o privilege_n of_o some_o man_n to_o forgive_v all_o sin_n in_o reference_n to_o the_o curse_n of_o the_o law_n john_n 20.23_o who_o soever_o sin_n you_o remit_v they_o be_v remit_v unto_o they_o and_o who_o soever_o sin_n you_o retain_v they_o be_v retain_v that_o none_o can_v forgive_v sin_n as_o god_n do_v shall_v have_v my_o leave_n to_o pass_v for_o a_o truth_n god_n in_o forgive_a of_o sin_n be_v principal_a do_v it_o by_o his_o own_o authority_n not_o receive_v power_n from_o another_o now_o for_o your_o minor_n that_o christ_n do_v for_o give_v sin_n it_o be_v true_a that_o christ_n do_v forgive_v sin_n and_o that_o he_o the_o son_n of_o man_n have_v on_o earth_n power_n to_o do_v it_o as_o he_o himself_o speak_v mar._n 2.10_o but_o what_o will_v this_o help_n to_o bring_v in_o the_o conclusion_n that_o christ_n be_v god_n doubtless_o no_o because_o mere_a creature_n as_o above_o have_v in_o some_o sense_n power_n to_o forgive_v sin_n if_o it_o can_v be_v prove_v that_o christ_n be_v principal_a in_o forgive_n something_o may_v do_v but_o that_o can_v be_v because_o the_o scripture_n can_v oppose_v itself_o the_o scripture_n tell_v we_o that_o we_o be_v justify_v by_o the_o man_n christ_n jesus_n act_v 13.38_o 39_o be_v it_o know_v unto_o you_o therefore_o man_n and_o brethren_n that_o through_o this_o man_n be_v preach_v unto_o you_o the_o forgiveness_n of_o sin_n and_o by_o he_o all_o that_o believe_v be_v justify_v from_o all_o thing_n from_o which_o you_o can_v not_o be_v justify_v by_o the_o law_n of_o moses_n and_o it_o also_o show_v we_o that_o christ_n be_v not_o the_o principal_a forgiver_n of_o sin_n in_o that_o he_o pray_v to_o another_o on_o the_o jew_n behalf_n for_o the_o forgiveness_n of_o sin_n luke_n 23.34_o then_o say_v jesus_n father_n forgive_v they_o for_o they_o know_v not_o what_o they_o do_v and_o in_o that_o he_o receive_v from_o another_o his_o power_n of_o forgive_a sin_n act_n 5.30_o 31._o the_o god_n of_o our_o father_n raise_v up_o jesus_n who_o you_o slay_v and_o hang_v on_o a_o tree_n he_o have_v god_n exalt_v with_o his_o right_a hand_n to_o be_v a_o prince_n and_o a_o saviour_n for_o to_o give_v repentance_n unto_o israel_n and_o forgiveness_n of_o sin_n thus_o i_o have_v block_v up_o the_o way_n that_o your_o conclusion_n can_v pass_v but_o open_v a_o way_n for_o myself_o to_o pass_v from_o your_o seven_o instance_n to_o that_o which_o follow_v instance_n 8_o if_o christ_n be_v a_o mere_a creature_n than_o the_o value_n of_o that_o offering_n which_o christ_n offer_v when_o he_o offer_v himself_o to_o god_n be_v take_v away_o and_o the_o satisfaction_n which_o christ_n give_v to_o divine_a justice_n be_v destroy_v for_o if_o the_o person_n that_o die_v be_v a_o mere_a man_n and_o the_o blood_n that_o be_v shed_v be_v the_o blood_n of_o a_o mere_a man_n and_o not_o of_o god_n as_o it_o be_v call_v act_v 20.28_o then_o how_o can_v it_o satisfy_v for_o the_o sin_n of_o many_o transgressor_n for_o there_o be_v no_o
