immaculate_a lamb_n and_o never_o shall_v john_n caluin_n find_v either_o scripture_n or_o father_n that_o say_v that_o christ_n suffer_v the_o pain_n of_o hell_n for_o our_o redemption_n but_o rather_o he_o shall_v find_v that_o they_o attribute_v our_o redemption_n to_o the_o passion_n and_o pang_n of_o death_n of_o christ_n body_n and_o therefore_o if_o caluin_n will_v stand_v to_o it_o that_o christ_n passion_n be_v only_o able_a to_o ransom_n our_o body_n but_o not_o our_o soul_n he_o detract_v from_o the_o dignity_n of_o christ_n death_n and_o see_v that_o the_o scripture_n and_o father_n acknowledge_v no_o other_o price_n to_o have_v be_v offer_v for_o we_o then_o christ_n death_n and_o passion_n if_o that_o be_v deficient_a then_o according_a to_o caluin_n christ_n be_v no_o complete_a redeemer_n but_o he_o press_v we_o with_o a_o argument_n which_o he_o count_v insoluble_a supra_fw-la supra_fw-la for_o say_v he_o he_o that_o satisfi_v for_o another_o must_v pay_v the_o debt_n which_o he_o owe_v and_o sustain_v the_o pain_n which_o he_o deserve_v and_o therefore_o because_o we_o deserve_v the_o pain_n of_o hell_n and_o be_v to_o suffer_v they_o both_o in_o soul_n &_o body_n it_o be_v necessary_a that_o christ_n in_o soul_n shall_v suffer_v the_o pain_n of_o hell_n else_o have_v he_o beme_fw-mi but_o half_a a_o redeemer_n but_o by_o this_o argument_n christ_n shall_v have_v endure_v in_o hell_n perpetual_a torment_n and_o so_o shall_v never_o have_v redeem_v we_o because_o he_o shall_v himself_o have_v be_v a_o perpetual_a prisoner_n for_o if_o christ_n must_v needs_o suffer_v the_o self_n same_o pain_n which_o we_o deserve_v then_o must_v he_o according_a to_o caluins_n rule_n have_v endure_v a_o perpetual_a hell_n because_o that_o be_v the_o punishment_n prepare_v for_o we_o and_o see_v that_o eternal_a punishment_n never_o come_v to_o a_o end_n christ_n shall_v never_o have_v pay_v the_o ransom_n due_v for_o sin_n and_o so_o we_o shall_v never_o have_v be_v redeem_v wherefore_o i_o say_v that_o christ_n passion_n to_o the_o sufferance_n of_o which_o both_o christ_n body_n and_o soul_n concur_v for_o the_o body_n by_o itself_o alone_o

conclusion_n first_o that_o nether_a prince_n nor_o judge_n have_v authority_n to_o condemn_v we_o to_o any_o pain_n as_o be_v before_o prove_v because_o where_o no_o law_n bind_v no_o prince_n can_v just_o punish_v the_o transgression_n and_o so_o human_a fear_n be_v take_v away_o second_o this_o doctrine_n abolish_v all_o filial_a fear_n for_o where_o no_o law_n bind_v in_o conscience_n no_o sin_n can_v be_v commit_v and_o so_o we_o need_v not_o to_o fear_v theft_n and_o murder_n for_o fear_n of_o offend_a god_n because_o where_o no_o sin_n be_v no_o offence_n be_v to_o be_v fear_v reverential_a fear_n also_o they_o abandon_v because_o as_o be_v before_o prove_v in_o deny_v law_n to_o bind_v they_o take_v away_o all_o authority_n even_o from_o god_n and_o where_o no_o authority_n be_v no_o reverence_n be_v dew_a as_o for_o servile_a fear_n they_o condemn_v it_o in_o express_a term_n and_o luther_n word_n we_o have_v hear_v already_o let_v we_o hear_v also_o

cocksure_o of_o salvation_n he_o can_v not_o fear_v hell_n and_o damnation_n because_o he_o be_v as_o assure_v of_o escape_v hell_n as_o of_o attain_v heaven_n and_o no_o man_n can_v fear_v that_o

2._o §_o 2._o he_o check_v saint_n gregory_n the_o great_a say_v that_o he_o teach_v pestilent_o when_o he_o say_v in_o a_o certain_a homely_a that_o we_o know_v only_o our_o call_n but_o be_v

fear_v hell_n or_o judgement_n because_o that_o be_v to_o loose_v our_o faith_n these_o be_v his_o word_n wherefore_o if_o thou_o be_v a_o sinner_n as_o very_o we_o all_o be_v gal._n in_o to_o 2._o

of_o christ_n that_o he_o be_v no_o exactor_n of_o the_o law_n but_o a_o propitiaiour_n so_o that_o luther_n think_v that_o christ_n will_v exact_v no_o law_n at_o the_o hand_n of_o a_o faithful_a

scripture_n set_v forth_o heaven_n and_o hell_n with_o suche_n name_n and_o title_n if_o it_o be_v a_o sin_n to_o hope_v for_o the_o one_o or_o to_o fear_v the_o other_o true_o if_o it_o be_v sin_n they_o have_v god_n in_o set_v forth_o heaven_n and_o hell_n so_o lively_a lay_v bait_n to_o catch_v we_o and_o to_o allure_v we_o to_o sin_n and_o why_o then_o do_v scripture_n in_o so_o many_o

travel_v all_o the_o day_n in_o hope_n of_o his_o wage_a the_o husbandman_n sow_v his_o seed_n in_o hope_n of_o a_o harvest_n the_o soldier_n follow_v the_o war_n in_o hope_n of_o a_o spoil_n and_o yet_o a_o christian_a man_n may_v not_o fulfil_v the_o commandment_n in_o hope_n of_o a_o reward_n in_o heaven_n for_o if_o it_o be_v lawful_a to_o hope_v for_o heaven_n why_o it_o be_v not_o lawful_a also_o to_o give_v alm_n in_o hope_n of_o heaven_n as_o david_n incline_v his_o heart_n to_o keep_v the_o law_n for_o reward_n and_o retribution_n 118._o psal_n 118._o they_o answer_n that_o we_o

also_o serve_v for_o reward_n as_o for_o a_o secondary_a end_n and_o motive_n but_o say_v they_o he_o that_o serve_v for_o reward_n will_v not_o serve_v god_n if_o reward_n be_v not_o which_o argue_v a_o evil_a mind_n i_o answer_v that_o allman_n be_v not_o so_o affectct_v and_o if_o hope_v of_o heaven_n be_v of_o that_o force_n as_o to_o move_v they_o to_o keep_v the_o law_n why_o may_v it_o not_o also_o be_v sufficient_a to_o move_v they_o to_o lay_v aside_o that_o evil_a affection_n which_o be_v also_o against_o the_o law_n in_o like_a manner_n if_o i_o may_v lawful_o fear_v death_n and_o other_o evilles_n of_o the_o body_n why_o may_v i_o not_o fear_v hell_n which_o be_v the_o great_a punishment_n that_o be_v both_o of_o soul_n and_o body_n and_o if_o i_o may_v fearre_a hell_n why_o may_v i_o not_o abstain_v from_o sin_n or_o fulfil_v the_o law_n for_o fearre_n of_o hell_n they_o say_v the_o reason_n be_v because_o he_o that_o fullfil_v the_o law_n for_o fear_n of_o hell_n will_v sin_v with_o all_o his_o heart_n if_o hell_n be_v not_o be_v it_o so_o yet_o this_o arguethe_v fear_n to_o be_v good_a rather_o than_o evil_a because_o it_o be_v a_o cause_n why_o we_o abstain_v at_o least_o from_o the_o out_o ward_v act_n of_o sin_n and_o if_o the_o mind_n be_v evil_o dispose_v that_o proceed_v not_o from_o the_o fear_n of_o hell_n but_o from_o a_o evil_a disposition_n yea_o if_o fear_n of_o hell_n be_v sufficient_a to_o keep_v we_o from_o the_o act_n of_o sin_n it_o be_v sufficient_a also_o to_o restrain_v we_o from_o the_o evil_a desire_n of_o the_o mind_n because_o against_o that_o also_o hell_n be_v prepare_v and_o in_o this_o be_v a_o plain_a difference_n betwixt_v fear_n of_o hell_n and_o temporal_a punishment_n because_o prince_n by_o temporal_a pain_n punish_v only_o the_o outward_a act_n of_o which_o only_o they_o can_v judge_v and_o therefore_o the_o thief_n may_v abstain_v from_o theft_n for_o fear_n of_o hang_v and_o yet_o have_v a_o inward_a desire_n to_o steal_v but_o god_n punish_v in_o hell_n not_o only_o the_o outward_a act_n but_o also_o the_o inward_a affection_n and_o desire_v of_o sin_n and_o therefore_o if_o fear_v of_o hell_n keep_v a_o man_n from_o theft_n it_o will_v restrain_v he_o also_o from_o the_o desire_n and_o consequent_o fear_v of_o hell_n can_v not_o be_v ill_a but_o rather_o good_a which_o be_v no_o cause_n of_o ill_a but_o rather_o a_o cause_n why_o we_o abstain_v from_o evil_a and_o although_o some_o peradventure_o yea_o and_o without_o peradventure_o will_v sin_v and_o neglegcte_v the_o commandment_n if_o hope_v of_o heaven_n and_o fear_n of_o hell_n be_v not_o yet_o that_o be_v no_o argument_n that_o there_o in_o they_o sin_n if_o they_o have_v no_o presentil_a affection_n
