preserve_v the_o peace_n of_o the_o christian_a church_n when_o they_o be_v to_o plant_v church_n how_o ready_a to_o go_v about_o it_o how_o diligent_a in_o attend_v it_o how_o watchful_a to_o

be_v imagine_v a_o high_a sort_n of_o madness_n than_o these_o man_n be_v guilty_a of_o viz._n that_o when_o man_n be_v convince_v that_o these_o thing_n can_v not_o be_v do_v by_o mere_a mechanical_a

and_o extravagant_a that_o we_o can_v hardly_o imagine_v that_o it_o be_v incident_a to_o humane_a nature_n unless_o the_o scripture_n have_v tell_v we_o that_o some_o have_v thus_o blaspheme_v the_o

people_n to_o those_o who_o go_v before_o they_o and_o crellius_n himself_o grant_v that_o socinus_n never_o intend_v to_o prove_v that_o one_o man_n suffering_n for_o another_o sin_n be_v unjust_a in_o itself_o from_o this_o place_n 15._o no_o not_o though_o we_o take_v it_o in_o the_o strict_a sense_n for_o one_o suffer_v in_o the_o stead_n of_o another_o have_v thus_o far_o clear_v how_o far_o it_o be_v agreeable_a to_o god_n justice_n to_o punish_v any_o person_n either_o by_o reason_n of_o his_o dominion_n unjust_a or_o the_o conjunction_n of_o person_n for_o the_o sin_n of_o other_o d_o and_o consequent_o whether_o any_o punishment_n may_v be_v undergo_v just_o beyond_o the_o proper_a desert_n of_o their_o own_o sin_n i_o now_o return_v to_o the_o consent_n of_o mankind_n in_o it_o on_o supposition_n either_o of_o a_o near_a conjunction_n or_o a_o valid_a consent_n which_o must_v make_v up_o the_o want_n of_o dominion_n in_o man_n without_o it_o and_o the_o question_n still_o proceed_v upon_o the_o supposition_n of_o those_o thing_n that_o there_o be_v a_o proper_a dominion_n in_o man_n over_o that_o which_o they_o part_v with_o for_o other_o sake_n and_o that_o they_o do_v it_o by_o their_o free_a consent_n and_o then_o we_o justify_v it_o not_o to_o be_v repugnant_a to_o the_o principle_n of_o reason_n and_o justice_n for_o any_o to_o suffer_v beyond_o the_o desert_n of_o their_o e_o own_o action_n and_o crellius_n his_o say_n that_o such_o a_o punishment_n be_v true_a punishment_n but_o not_o just_a be_v no_o answer_n at_o all_o to_o the_o consent_n of_o nation_n that_o it_o be_v so_o and_o therefore_o find_v this_o answer_n insufficient_a he_o rely_v upon_o another_o viz._n that_o it_o be_v never_o receive_v by_o the_o consent_n of_o nation_n that_o one_o a_o ●_o man_n shall_v suffer_v in_o the_o stead_n of_o another_o so_o as_o the_o guilty_a shall_v be_v free_v by_o the_o other_o suffering_n for_o he_o say_v neither_o socinus_n nor_o he_o do_v deny_v that_o one_o man_n may_v be_v punish_v for_o another_o sin_n but_o that_o which_o they_o deny_v be_v that_o ever_o the_o innocent_a be_v punish_v so_o as_o the_o guilty_a be_v free_v by_o it_o and_o so_o he_o answer_v in_o the_o case_n of_o hostage_n and_o surety_n their_o punishment_n do_v never_o excuse_v the_o offender_n themselves_o and_o to_o this_o purpose_n he_o say_v socinus_n his_o argument_n do_v hold_v good_a that_o though_o one_o man_n money_n may_v become_v another_o yet_o one_o man_n suffering_n can_v become_v another_o for_o say_v b_o he_o if_o it_o can_v than_o it_o will_v be_v all_o one_o who_o suffer_v as_o it_o be_v who_o pay_v the_o money_n due_a and_o then_o the_o offender_n must_v be_v present_o release_v as_o the_o debtor_n be_v upon_o payment_n of_o the_o debt_n this_o be_v the_o substance_n of_o what_o be_v say_v by_o he_o upon_o this_o argument_n to_o which_o i_o reply_v 1._o that_o this_o give_v up_o the_o matter_n in_o dispute_n at_o present_a between_o we_o for_o the_o present_a question_n be_v whether_o it_o be_v unjust_a for_o any_o one_o to_o suffer_v beyond_o the_o desert_n of_o his_o own_o action_n yes_o say_v crellius_n it_o be_v in_o case_n he_o suffer_v so_o as_o that_o the_o guilty_a be_v free_v by_o his_o suffering_n but_o we_o be_v not_o inquire_v whether_o it_o be_v just_a for_o another_o person_n to_o be_v free_v c_o for_o a_o man_n suffering_n for_o he_o but_o whether_o it_o be_v just_a for_o that_o man_n to_o suffer_v by_o his_o own_o consent_n more_o than_o his_o own_o action_n without_o that_o consent_n deserve_v the_o release_n of_o another_o person_n by_o virtue_n of_o his_o suffering_n be_v a_o matter_n of_o another_o consideration_n do_v the_o free_n or_o not_o free_v of_o another_o by_o suffer_v add_v any_o thing_n to_o the_o desert_n of_o suffer_v he_o that_o be_v whole_o innocent_a and_o do_v suffer_v on_o the_o account_n of_o another_o fault_n do_v he_o not_o suffer_v as_o undeserved_o though_o another_o be_v not_o free_v as_o if_o he_o be_v as_o in_o the_o case_n of_o hostage_n or_o surety_n do_v it_o make_v they_o at_o all_o the_o more_o guilty_a because_o the_o d_o person_n they_o be_v concern_v for_o will_v be_v punish_v notwithstanding_o if_o they_o come_v under_o the_o power_n of_o those_o who_o exact_v the_o punishment_n upon_o they_o who_o suffer_v for_o they_o nay_o be_v not_o their_o desert_n of_o punishment_n so_o much_o the_o less_o in_o as_o much_o as_o the_o guilty_a be_v still_o bind_v to_o answer_v for_o their_o own_o offence_n if_o we_o can_v suppose_v the_o guilty_a to_o be_v free_v by_o the_o other_o suffering_n it_o will_v be_v by_o suppose_v their_o guilt_n more_o full_o translate_v upon_o those_o who_o suffer_v and_o consequent_o a_o great_a obligation_n to_o punishment_n follow_v that_o guilt_n from_o whence_o it_o follow_v that_o if_o it_o be_v just_a to_o punish_v when_o the_o person_n be_v not_o deliver_v e_o from_o who_o the_o other_o suffer_v it_o be_v more_o just_a when_o he_o be_v for_o the_o translation_n of_o the_o penalty_n be_v much_o less_o in_o the_o former_a case_n than_o in_o latter_a and_o what_o be_v just_a upon_o less_o ground_n of_o punishment_n must_v be_v more_o just_a upon_o great_a i_o look_v on_o this_o therefore_o but_o as_o a_o shift_n of_o crellius_n hope_v thereby_o to_o avoid_v a_o the_o consent_n of_o mankind_n in_o one_o man_n suffering_n for_o another_o without_o attend_v to_o the_o main_a argument_n he_o be_v upon_o viz._n the_o justice_n of_o one_o person_n suffer_v for_o another_o 2._o it_o be_v a_o very_a unreasonable_a thing_n to_o make_v a_o action_n unjust_a for_o that_o which_o of_o itself_o be_v acknowledge_v by_o our_o adversary_n to_o be_v very_o just_a viz._n the_o pardon_v the_o offender_n themselves_o if_o it_o be_v just_a to_o suffer_v if_o the_o other_o be_v not_o pardon_v and_o it_o be_v just_a to_o pardon_v whether_o the_o other_o be_v punish_v or_o no_o how_o come_v this_o suffering_n to_o be_v unjust_a mere_o by_o the_o other_o be_v pardon_v by_o it_o nay_o be_v it_o not_o rather_o a_o argument_n that_o those_o b_o suffering_n be_v the_o most_o just_a which_o do_v so_o full_o answer_v all_o the_o end_n of_o punishment_n that_o there_o be_v then_o no_o necessity_n that_o the_o offender_n shall_v suffer_v but_o that_o the_o supreme_a governor_n have_v obtain_v the_o end_n of_o government_n by_o the_o suffering_n of_o one_o for_o the_o rest_n declare_v himself_o so_o well_o please_v with_o it_o that_o

punishment_n due_a to_o the_o desert_n of_o their_o sin_n as_o be_v plain_a in_o the_o case_n of_o ahab_n who_o punishment_n be_v not_o so_o great_a as_o his_o sin_n deserve_v because_o the_o full_a punishment_n of_o they_o be_v c_o reserve_v to_o his_o posterity_n if_o it_o be_v say_v as_o it_o be_v by_o crellius_n that_o ahab_n be_v not_o whole_o free_v his_o life_n be_v take_v away_o 19_o for_o his_o own_o sin_n that_o give_v no_o sufficient_a answer_n for_o if_o some_o part_n of_o the_o punishment_n be_v defer_v that_o part_n he_o be_v deliver_v from_o and_o the_o same_o reason_n in_o

posterity_n themselves_o escape_v it_o 4._o our_o adversary_n confess_v that_o in_o some_o case_n it_o be_v lawful_a and_o just_a for_o some_o to_o suffer_v with_o a_o design_n that_o other_o may_v be_v free_v by_o their_o suffering_n for_o they_o thus_o d_o they_o assert_v that_o one_o christian_a not_o only_o may_v but_o aught_o to_o lay_v down_o his_o life_n for_o another_o if_o there_o be_v any_o danger_n of_o his_o deny_v the_o truth_n or_o be_v judge_n he_o far_o more_o useful_a and_o considerable_a than_o himself_o so_o likewise_o a_o son_n for_o his_o father_n one_o brother_n for_o another_o or_o a_o friend_n or_o any_o who_o life_n he_o think_v more_o useful_a 39_o than_o his_o own_o now_o i_o ask_v whether_o a_o man_n can_v be_v bind_v to_o a_o thing_n that_o be_v in_o its_o own_o nature_n unjust_a if_o not_o as_o it_o be_v plain_a he_o can_v than_o such_o a_o obligation_n of_o one_o man_n to_o suffer_v for_o the_o delivery_n of_o another_o can_v be_v unjust_a and_o consequent_o the_o suffering_n itself_o can_v be_v so_o but_o crellius_n say_v the_o injustice_n e_o in_o this_o case_n lie_v whole_o upon_o the_o magistrate_n who_o admit_v it_o but_o i_o ask_v wherefore_o be_v it_o
