the_o manifestation_n of_o his_o own_o glory_n this_o be_v the_o best_a good_a must_v be_v the_o first_o cause_n and_o last_o end_n of_o all_o god_n work_n and_o in_o subordination_n thereunto_o god_n

to_o sin_n or_o to_o the_o sinner_n for_o sin_n to_o take_v away_o the_o guilt_n of_o sin_n which_o can_v be_v do_v but_o by_o bear_v the_o punishment_n due_a for_o sin_n the_o guilt_n must_v be_v

with_o all_o its_o bless_a effect_n upon_o the_o sinner_n therefore_o the_o father_n send_v his_o son_n be_v the_o high_a act_n of_o mercy_n in_o the_o father_n and_o the_o son_n come_v and_o die_v in_o our_o nature_n be_v the_o high_a act_n of_o love_n in_o the_o son_n the_o thing_n itself_o be_v all_o mercy_n with_o respect_n to_o we_o and_o the_o do_v of_o it_o be_v with_o respect_n to_o the_o honour_n of_o god_n law_n and_o and_o the_o manifestation_n of_o his_o justice_n and_o truth_n therefore_o christ_n do_v not_o offer_v himself_o up_o as_o a_o supplication_n to_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n but_o as_o a_o expiatory_a sacrifice_n to_o his_o justice_n and_o not_o as_o a_o partial_a expiate_v of_o sin_n for_o that_o will_v but_o in_o part_n take_v away_o guilt_n but_o all_o guilt_n must_v be_v take_v away_o or_o else_o the_o sinner_n will_v remain_v guilty_a and_o god_n will_v by_o no_o mean_n clear_v the_o guilty_a hence_o we_o read_v of_o god_n forgive_a for_o christ_n
