be_v something_o that_o god_n require_v of_o christ_n when_o he_o substitute_v himself_o in_o our_o room_n to_o answer_v for_o our_o sin_n which_o be_v his_o die_v for_o we_o so_o there_o be_v something_o that_o god_n require_v of_o we_o if_o we_o will_v have_v the_o benefit_n of_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n the_o gospel_n do_v not_o make_v void_a but_o establish_v the_o law_n in_o its_o

may_v be_v the_o lord_n both_o of_o the_o dead_a and_o living_n that_o as_o he_o die_v for_o sin_n so_o we_o shall_v die_v to_o sin_n and_o have_v communion_n with_o he_o in_o his_o rise_n by_o our_o walk_n in_o newness_n of_o life_n that_o which_o god_n require_v of_o christ_n be_v obedience_n in_o a_o way_n of_o merit_n that_o which_o god_n require_v of_o we_o be_v obedience_n in_o a_o way_n of_o duty_n our_o obligation_n to_o obedience_n be_v not_o dissolve_v but_o enforce_v and_o heighten_v by_o the_o mediatory_a obedience_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n to._n do_v just_o to_o love_v

that_o will_v seek_v he_o with_o acceptation_n and_o success_n this_o premised_a i_o now_o proceed_v to_o confirm_v the_o truth_n of_o the_o proposition_n and_o the_o proof_n of_o it_o will_v depend_v

justice_n mercy_n and_o humble_a walk_v with_o god_n to_o procure_v the_o favour_n of_o god_n to_o a_o people_n to_o compromise_v the_o difference_n between_o god_n and_o they_o to_o pacify_v his_o

it_o be_v reveal_v in_o that_o time_n be_v wrap_v up_o in_o those_o sacrifice_n they_o do_v all_o refer_v to_o and_o prefigure_v he_o that_o be_v to_o come_v for_o whereas_o the_o holy_a and_o righteous_a law_n of_o god_n have_v threaten_v sin_n with_o death_n it_o can_v not_o be_v reasonable_o suppose_v 10.4_o that_o the_o blood_n of_o bull_n and_o of_o goat_n shall_v take_v away_o sin_n and_o therefore_o the_o heathen_n to_o supply_v that_o defect_n arbitrantur_fw-la have_v some_o natural_a or_o rather_o traditional_a knowledge_n of_o the_o necessity_n of_o sacrifice_n to_o make_v atonement_n for_o sin_n do_v conclude_v that_o nothing_o less_o than_o the_o life_n of_o a_o man_n offer_v in_o sacrifice_n be_v sufficient_a to_o appease_v god_n but_o indeed_o this_o man_n be_v no_o
