fall_n of_o man._n it_o be_v true_a when_o one_o man_n come_v to_o treat_v about_o peace_n and_o reconciliation_n with_o another_o it_o be_v sometime_o necessary_a for_o he_o to_o pass_v by_o a_o offence_n without_o any_o satisfaction_n at_o all_o especial_o when_o that_o poor_a creature_n that_o have_v offend_v be_v not_o able_a to_o make_v satisfaction_n but_o it_o be_v not_o so_o between_o

to_o pass_v it_o by_o but_o god_n mercy_n do_v never_o work_v after_o that_o manner_n though_o the_o mercy_n in_o a_o man_n may_v work_v he_o to_o such_o a_o reconciliation_n and_o though_o god_n be_v a_o god_n of_o infinite_a mercy_n infinite_o more_o merciful_a than_o any_o creature_n can_v be_v yet_o the_o way_n of_o the_o work_n of_o god_n mercy_n be_v a_o different_a way_n from_o the_o work_n of_o the_o creature_n mercy_n neither_o do_v it_o argue_v that_o there_o be_v not_o as_o much_o mercy_n in_o god_n as_o there_o be_v in_o the_o creature_n but_o that_o the_o way_n of_o the_o work_n of_o god_n mercy_n be_v different_a from_o that_o of_o the_o creature_n and_o this_o be_v the_o way_n of_o the_o work_n of_o god_n mercy_n not_o to_o pass_v by_o the_o wrong_n do_v but_o to_o provide_v some_o mean_n or_o other_o himself_n to_o satisfy_v that_o wrong_n to_o the_o end_n that_o he_o may_v have_v his_o justice_n satisfy_v and_o because_o that_o this_o be_v necessary_a hence_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v of_o our_o be_v reconcile_v unto_o god_n through_o jesus_n christ_n the_o necessity_n of_o christ_n be_v a_o mediator_n be_v not_o so_o much_o this_o that_o we_o be_v

be_v because_o in_o this_o way_n the_o father_n himself_o be_v most_o glorify_a the_o attribute_n of_o god_n do_v shine_v in_o a_o great_a lustre_n in_o this_o way_n of_o reconciliation_n then_o if_o

power_n and_o of_o his_o justice_n as_o well_o as_o of_o his_o mercy_n not_o only_a mercy_n but_o the_o other_o divine_a attribute_n of_o god_n shine_v in_o this_o way_n of_o reconciliation_n exceed_o bright_a and_o there_o be_v no_o such_o glass_n to_o behold_v the_o glory_n of_o god_n in_o as_o the_o glory_n of_o the_o gospel_n in_o the_o mystery_n of_o reconciliation_n we_o indeed_o behold_v and_o see_v the_o glory_n of_o god_n in_o the_o glass_n of_o the_o creature_n but_o in_o the_o gospel_n in_o the_o work_n of_o reconciliation_n in_o christ_n there_o be_v the_o bright_a glass_n wherein_o all_o the_o beam_n of_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n attribute_n be_v unite_v together_o and_o shine_v with_o a_o transcendent_a lustre_n yea_o there_o be_v not_o only_o a_o lustre_n and_o a_o
