if_o there_o must_v be_v one_o cause_n of_o introduce_v light_n and_o another_o of_o expelling_a darkness_n or_o one_o cause_n to_o take_v away_o the_o crookedness_n of_o a_o line_n and_o another_o

that_o god_n the_o father_n do_v accept_v the_o suffering_n and_o merit_n of_o his_o son_n as_o a_o full_a satisfaction_n to_o his_o violate_a law_n and_o as_o a_o valuable_a consideration_n upon_o

excellent_a man_n that_o i_o know_v now_o live_v some_z other_o though_o few_o do_v think_v that_o though_o christ_n righteousness_n be_v not_o impute_v to_o we_o in_o that_o strict_a sense_n as_o the_o first_o opinion_n express_v but_o be_v we_o under_o the_o fore-explained_n notion_n of_o satisfaction_n only_o yet_o the_o active_a righteousness_n consider_v as_o such_o be_v part_n of_o this_o satisfaction_n also_o as_o well_o as_o his_o passive_a and_o justitia_fw-la meriti_fw-la as_o as_o well_o as_o justitia_fw-la personae_fw-la and_o though_o the_o law_n do_v not_o require_v both_o

of_o his_o work_n into_o the_o payment_n the_o chief_a divine_n that_o i_o know_v for_o this_o opinion_n as_o it_o be_v distinguish_v from_o the_o two_o former_a be_v judicious_a and_o holy_a mr_n bradshaw_n and_o grotius_n if_o i_o may_v call_v a_o lawyer_n a_o divine_a and_o for_o my_o own_o part_n i_o think_v it_o be_v the_o truth_n though_o i_o confess_v i_o have_v be_v ten_o year_n of_o another_o mind_n for_o the_o sole_a passive_a righteousness_n because_o of_o the_o weakness_n of_o those_o ground_n which_o be_v usual_o lay_v to_o support_v the_o opinion_n for_o the_o active_a and_o passive_a till_o discern_v more_o clear_o the_o nature_n of_o satisfaction_n i_o perceive_v that_o though_o the_o suffering_n of_o christ_n have_v the_o chief_a place_n therein_o yet_o his_o obedience_n as_o such_o may_v also_o be_v meritorious_a and_o satisfactory_a the_o true_a ground_n and_o proof_n whereof_o you_o may_v read_v in_o grotius_n the_o satisfact_n cap._n 6._o and_o bradshaw_n of_o justification_n in_o preface_n and_o cap._n 13._o the_o chief_a objection_n against_o it_o be_v these_o 1._o object_n christ_n passive_a righteousness_n be_v as_o much_o as_o the_o law_n require_v on_o our_o behalf_n as_o satisfaction_n for_o its_o violation_n therefore_o the_o active_a be_v needless_a except_o to_o qualify_v he_o to_o be_v a_o fit_a mediator_n i_o answer_v this_o objection_n be_v ground_v upon_o the_o forementioned_a error_n that_o christ_n pay_v the_o idem_fw-la and_o not_o the_o tantundem_fw-la whereas_o it_o be_v not_o a_o proper_a payment_n of_o the_o debt_n but_o satisfaction_n therefore_o even_o his_o meritorious_a work_n may_v satisfy_v many_o a_o offender_n against_o prince_n or_o state_n have_v be_v pardon_v their_o offence_n and_o escape_v punishment_n for_o some_o deserve_a acceptable_a service_n that_o they_o have_v do_v or_o that_o some_o of_o their_o predecessor_n have_v do_v before_o they_o and_o so_o rom._n 5._o 19_o by_o the_o obedience_n of_o one_o many_o be_v make_v righteous_a 2._o it_o be_v object_v that_o christ_n be_v once_o subject_a to_o the_o law_n can_v do_v no_o more_o but_o his_o duty_n which_o if_o he_o have_v not_o do_v he_o must_v have_v suffer_v for_o himself_o and_o therefore_o how_o can_v his_o obedience_n be_v satisfactory_a and_o meritorious_a for_o we_o i_o answer_v 1._o you_o must_v not_o here_o in_o your_o conceiving_n abstract_n the_o humane_a nature_n which_o be_v create_v from_o the_o divine_a but_o consider_v they_o as_o compose_v one_o person_n 2._o nor_o must_v you_o look_v upon_o the_o work_v of_o christ_n as_o receive_v their_o valuation_n and_o denomination_n from_o the_o humane_a nature_n alone_o or_o principal_o 3._o nor_o must_v you_o separate_v in_o your_o thought_n the_o time_n of_o christ_n servitude_n and_o subjection_n from_o the_o time_n of_o his_o freedom_n before_o his_o incarnation_n and_o subjection_n and_o so_o take_v these_o answer_n 1._o christ_n jesus_n do_v perform_v several_a work_n which_o he_o be_v not_o oblige_v to_o perform_v as_o a_o mere_a subject_n such_o be_v all_o the_o work_n that_o be_v proper_a to_o his_o office_n of_o mediator_n his_o assume_v the_o humane_a nature_n his_o make_a law_n to_o his_o church_n his_o establish_n and_o seal_v the_o covenant_n his_o work_a miracle_n his_o send_v his_o disciple_n to_o convert_v and_o save_v the_o world_n indue_a they_o with_o the_o spirit_n his_o overcome_a death_n and_o rise_v again_o etc._n etc._n what_o law_n bind_v we_o to_o such_o work_n as_o these_o and_o what_o law_n to_o speak_v proper_o do_v bind_v he_o to_o they_o yet_o be_v the_o work_n in_o themselves_o so_o excellent_a and_o agreeable_a to_o his_o father_n will_n which_o he_o be_v well_o
