other_o can_v do_v it_o but_o christ_n now_o have_v show_v you_o that_o his_o doctrine_n be_v not_o in_o his_o text_n nor_o deducible_a from_o it_o i_o shall_v show_v you_o in_o the_o second_o place_n that_o it_o be_v false_a and_o therefore_o not_o deducible_a from_o any_o text_n but_o contrary_a to_o the_o scripture_n but_o to_o make_v good_a this_o charge_n it_o will_v behoove_v i_o to_o write_v a_o large_a volumn_n if_o i_o shall_v disprove_v all_o the_o frivolous_a argument_n that_o be_v wont_a to_o be_v bring_v for_o the_o maintain_v it_o but_o i_o intend_v only_o a_o short_a letter_n and_o therefore_o shall_v content_v myself_o 1._o to_o show_v you_o the_o contradiction_n of_o this_o doctrine_n to_o itself_o and_o to_o the_o holy_a scripture_n 2._o to_o vindicate_v those_o scripture_n or_o the_o chief_a of_o they_o he_o bring_v for_o proof_n from_o give_v countenance_n to_o his_o doctrine_n and_o first_o that_o it_o be_v contradictory_n to_o itself_o and_o the_o scripture_n observe_v two_o clause_n in_o it_o one_o be_v make_v full_a satisfaction_n to_o the_o justice_n of_o god_n the_o other_o be_v god_n forgive_a sin_n to_o make_v full_a satisfaction_n to_o the_o justice_n of_o god_n for_o sin_n be_v in_o this_o preacher_n sense_n to_o bear_v all_o that_o punishment_n which_o be_v due_a to_o man_n for_o their_o sin_n in_o their_o stead_n to_o forgive_v sin_n be_v according_a to_o the_o apostle_n paul_n rom._n 4._o 7_o 8._o not_o to_o impute_v sin_n or_o to_o deal_v with_o the_o sinner_n as_o if_o he_o have_v not_o finned_a but_o now_o every_o one_o may_v perceive_v that_o these_o two_o be_v contradictory_n as_o to_o bear_v all_o the_o punishment_n due_a to_o sin_n and_o to_o bear_v none_o of_o the_o punishment_n due_a to_o sin_n to_o exact_v of_o the_o sinner_n or_o his_o surety_n as_o they_o speak_v all_o the_o punishment_n which_o he_o owe_v and_o to_o exact_v neither_o of_o the_o sinner_n nor_o his_o surety_n any_o thing_n that_o he_o owe_v for_o whether_o the_o sinner_n himself_o or_o his_o surety_n bear_v the_o punishment_n of_o his_o sin_n sin_n be_v in_o that_o case_n impute_v if_o these_o be_v not_o flat_a contradiction_n i_o know_v not_o what_o be_v for_o the_o term_n in_o the_o affirmation_n and_o negation_n be_v take_v in_o the_o same_o sense_n and_o latitude_n so_o that_o for_o any_o one_o to_o say_v that_o god_n can_v not_o pardon_v man_n sin_n till_o christ_n have_v make_v full_a satisfaction_n to_o his_o justice_n be_v alike_o as_o to_o say_v the_o king_n can_v pardon_v a_o rebel_n without_o punish_v as_o the_o law_n require_v forasmuch_o as_o to_o pardon_v be_v not_o to_o punish_v as_o the_o law_n require_v and_o this_o be_v so_o clear_a and_o evident_a that_o in_o all_o other_o case_n save_v in_o this_o even_o the_o asserter_n of_o this_o opinion_n do_v easy_o perceive_v the_o absurdity_n which_o of_o they_o have_v commit_v a_o offence_n deserve_v death_n by_o the_o law_n of_o the_o land_n will_v account_v himself_o pardon_v if_o all_o that_o punishment_n be_v exact_v that_o the_o law_n require_v in_o debt_n of_o money_n which_o may_v be_v transfer_v from_o one_o to_o another_o which_o of_o they_o will_v account_v himself_o forgive_v a_o debt_n of_o a_o hundred_o pound_n if_o he_o himself_o or_o any_o other_o pay_v it_o in_o his_o name_n what_o a_o empty_a vain_a word_n will_v forgiveness_n be_v at_o this_o rate_n pay_v i_o all_o you_o owe_v i_o and_o i_o will_v forgive_v you_o be_v either_o a_o senseless_a or_o cruel_a say_n what!_o must_v we_o be_v absurd_a only_o in_o our_o faith_n must_v absurdity_n there_o be_v repute_v for_o mystery_n why_o not_o believe_v the_o papist_n then_o when_o they_o assert_v the_o bread_n to_o be_v flesh_n and_o say_v it_o be_v a_o mystery_n nay_o much_o rather_o believe_v they_o than_o these_o for_o they_o have_v the_o word_n of_o scripture_n on_o their_o side_n but_o these_o have_v not_o save_v ill-forged_a premise_n thus_o you_o may_v see_v this_o doctrine_n be_v contradictory_n to_o itself_o as_o much_o as_o punish_v and_o not_o punish_v exact_v a_o debt_n and_o not_o exact_v it_o be_v flat_o contradictory_n that_o it_o be_v contrary_a to_o the_o scripture_n be_v prove_v by_o the_o same_o labour_n for_o every_o thing_n absurd_a and_o contradictious_a to_o itself_o must_v needs_o be_v contrary_a to_o the_o holy_a
