christ_n once_o to_o be_v offer_v up_o on_o the_o cross_n three_o to_o show_v by_o the_o death_n of_o beast_n &_o that_o they_o deserve_v death_n for_o their_o sin_n that_o they_o offer_v the_o one_o to_o god_n in_o lieu_n of_o the_o other_o by_o these_o three_o reason_n we_o plain_o see_v that_o we_o in_o the_o law_n of_o grace_n have_v as_o great_a need_n of_o a_o real_a and_o external_a
