of_o god_n for_o the_o righteousness_n of_o a_o other_o for_o justification_n and_o remission_n of_o sin_n be_v the_o same_o for_o to_o justify_v be_v for_o god_n not_o to_o impute_v sin_n unto_o we_o but_o to_o accept_v we_o for_o righteous_a &_o to_o absolve_v or_o pronounce_v we_o just_a for_o the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n impute_v the_o end_n of_o justification_n in_o respect_n of_o god_n be_v the_o glory_n of_o god_n in_o a_o admirable_a composition_n of_o justice_n and_o mercy_n of_o justice_n because_o he_o will_v have_v his_o son_n to_o satisfy_v for_o our_o sin_n rather_o than_o that_o they_o shall_v escape_v unpunished_a and_o of_o mercy_n because_o it_o please_v he_o to_o impute_v and_o appropriate_v the_o satisfaction_n of_o his_o son_n unto_o we_o rather_o than_o we_o wretch_n shall_v be_v destroy_v ob._n but_o some_o will_v perhaps_o imagine_v that_o god_n show_v neither_o justice_n nor_o mercy_n no_o justice_n because_o he_o punish_v a_o innocent_a for_o the_o nocent_a &_o set_v his_o tooth_n on_o edge_n whereas_o they_o have_v eat_v the_o sour_a grape_n and_o no_o mercy_n because_o he_o forgive_v none_o without_o a_o satisfaction_n ans_fw-fr it_o be_v true_a indeed_o that_o the_o innocent_a be_v punish_v but_o yet_o it_o be_v do_v willing_o and_o not_o by_o constraint_n and_o he_o be_v of_o the_o same_o nature_n with_o the_o nocent_a and_o be_v

we_o deem_v the_o mercy_n of_o god_n to_o be_v withhold_v or_o not_o exhibit_v because_o he_o do_v not_o forgive_v without_o a_o satisfaction_n for_o first_o it_o be_v of_o his_o sole_a benignity_n and_o perfect_a mercy_n without_o the_o prevision_n of_o any_o merit_n that_o he_o come_v to_o satisfy_v who_o make_v the_o satisfaction_n for_o us._n 4.10_o herein_o say_v john_n be_v that_o love_n not_o that_o we_o love_v god_n but_o that_o he_o love_v we_o and_o send_v his_o son_n to_o be_v a_o reconciliation_n for_o our_o sin_n second_o it_o be_v his_o grace_n that_o he_o do_v apply_v the_o satisfaction_n of_o his_o son_n unto_o we_o who_o be_v dispose_v thereunto_o by_o no_o gift_n or_o merit_n three_o we_o must_v consider_v that_o god_n justice_n be_v so_o infinite_o absolute_a as_o that_o we_o can_v not_o be_v justify_v without_o a_o mediator_n note_n god_n can_v not_o forgive_v sin_n without_o a_o satisfaction_n for_o otherwise_o what_o need_n be_v there_o that_o the_o soon_o of_o god_n shall_v be_v bring_v as_o he_o be_v to_o such_o horrible_a misery_n and_o to_o such_o a_o accurse_a death_n a_o kind_a father_n will_v try_v any_o way_n rather_o than_o he_o will_v expose_v his_o own_o and_o only_a son_n to_o extreme_a terror_n and_o misery_n and_o lest_o any_o man_n shall_v imagine_v that_o it_o be_v in_o god_n power_n to_o remit_v or_o to_o retain_v sin_n like_o debt_n we_o must_v know_v that_o there_o be_v two_o kind_n of_o debt_n for_o there_o be_v a_o debt_n which_o eclipse_v and_o hurt_v the_o honour_n of_o the_o creditor_n and_o there_o be_v also_o a_o debt_n which_o do_v not_o touch_v it_o 3_o if_o the_o debt_n do_v not_o hurt_v his_o honour_n it_o may_v with_o great_a increase_n of_o honour_n be_v rmit_v without_o any_o recompense_n at_o all_o as_o when_o a_o king_n forgive_v his_o servant_n the_o debt_n of_o some_o thousand_o of_o c●ownes_n this_o debt_n as_o it_o do_v not_o hurt_v the_o majesty_n of_o the_o king_n so_o it_o may_v be_v forgive_v without_o any_o hurt_n to_o his_o majesty_n but_o if_o debt_n do_v hurt_v the_o honour_n and_o majesty_n of_o the_o creditor_n and_o do_v direct_o impugn_v his_o nature_n and_o glory_n without_o doubt_n they_o can_v at_o his_o pleasure_n be_v remit_v without_o satisfaction_n and_o such_o debt_n be_v sin_n at_o which_o infringe_v the_o rule_n of_o god_n eternal_a will_n &_o be_v enemy_n to_o it_o so_o as_o that_o they_o can_v be_v purge_v and_o forgive_v without_o a_o penalty_n but_o god_n justice_n and_o uprightness_n will_v be_v diminish_v but_o yet_o though_o his_o mercy_n can_v not_o shoulder_v out_o his_o justice_n or_o any_o whit_n eclipse_v it_o yet_o his_o justice_n do_v not_o bereave_v he_o of_o his_o mercy_n for_o of_o his_o own_o mere_a mercy_n he_o find_v out_o the_o way_n to_o redeem_v and_o save_v we_o when_o we_o do_v not_o so_o much_o as_o think_v of_o any_o such_o thing_n and_o therefore_o as_o we_o ought_v to_o admire_v the_o severity_n of_o his_o justice_n so_o we_o shall_v also_o magnify_v his_o endless_a grace_n and_o mercy_n the_o end_n of_o justification_n in_o respect_n of_o ourselves_o be_v that_o we_o may_v be_v please_v unto_o god_n that_o we_o may_v have_v peace_n of_o conscience_n and_o true_a tranquillity_n of_o mind_n that_o be_v redeem_v from_o misery_n we_o may_v be_v save_v and_o final_o that_o we_o shall_v strive_v
