A45162 Ultimas manus being letters between Mr. John Humphrey, and Mr. Samuel Clark, in reference to the point of justification : written upon the occasion of Mr. Clark's printing his book upon that subject, after Mr. Humfrey's book entituled The righteousness of God, and published for vindication of that doctrine wherein they agree, as found, by shewing the difference of it from that of the Papist, and the mistakes of our common Protestant : in order to an impartial and more full understanding of that great article, by the improvement of that whereto they have attained, or correction of any thing wherein they err, by better judgments : together with animadversions on some late papers between Presbyterian and Independent, in order to reconcile the difference, and fix the Doctrine of Christ's satisfaction. Humfrey, John, 1621-1719. 1698 (1698) Wing H3715; ESTC R16520 84,030 95

the_o first_o shall_v be_v from_o himself_o who_o when_o mr._n williams_n be_v argue_v that_o if_o we_o may_v very_o proper_o be_v say_v to_o be_v punish_v in_o christ_n for_o our_o sin_n then_o must_v it_o be_v grant_v that_o we_o make_v satisfaction_n in_o christ_n and_o be_v our_o own_o redeemer_n he_o answer_v no_o because_o the_o satisfaction_n arise_v not_o say_v he_o from_o our_o

for_o he_o may_v put_v in_o 〈◊〉_d well_o as_o our_o sin_n be_v the_o proximous_a meritorious_a cause_n of_o they_o and_o as_o they_o be_v a_o proper_a punishment_n i_o answer_v he_o therefore_o according_o that_o see_v the_o satisfaction_n christ_n make_v be_v not_o indeed_o a_o satisfaction_n of_o the_o law_n itself_o but_o of_o the_o lawgiver_n who_o though_o rector_n be_v also_o

to_o appoint_v and_o accept_v of_o a_o vicarious_a punishment_n instead_o of_o a_o proper_a punishment_n who_o be_v there_o can_v have_v any_o more_o to_o say_v against_o it_o i_o will_v add_v in_o
