few_o animadversion_n upon_o the_o sermon_n which_o you_o may_v read_v when_o your_o leisure_n permit_v you_o there_o be_v three_o fault_n inexcusable_a in_o a_o preacher_n as_o all_o do_v acknowledge_v for_o it_o be_v in_o itself_o most_o evident_a first_o to_o propose_v a_o text_n out_o of_o the_o holy_a scripture_n and_o thence_o to_o draw_v doctrine_n which_o be_v true_a in_o themselves_o but_o which_o the_o text_n afford_v not_o this_o be_v one_o way_n of_o profane_v the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o of_o do_v the_o work_n of_o the_o lord_n negligent_o but_o second_o it_o be_v a_o great_a fault_n and_o much_o more_o to_o be_v lament_v when_o such_o doctrine_n or_o thesis_n be_v ground_v upon_o a_o text_n of_o scripture_n which_o be_v so_o far_o from_o be_v right_o draw_v from_o that_o text_n that_o they_o be_v deducible_a from_o no_o other_o text_n be_v such_o doctrine_n as_o contain_v not_o the_o truth_n in_o they_o but_o be_v false_a and_o therefore_o contrary_a to_o the_o scripture_n of_o truth_n but_o three_o the_o fault_n be_v then_o great_a and_o most_o of_o all_o to_o be_v lament_v when_o the_o doctrine_n or_o article_n propose_v as_o from_o a_o scripture_n be_v not_o mere_o false_a and_o error_n of_o a_o mean_a import_n but_o be_v false_a in_o matter_n of_o high_a concernment_n in_o faith_n or_o manner_n these_o three_o thing_n sir_n come_v to_o mind_n by_o the_o unhappy_a occasion_n of_o your_o preacher_n sermon_n who_o i_o may_v charge_v though_o not_o with_o the_o first_o of_o those_o fault_n for_o he_o be_v not_o so_o little_a unhappy_a as_o to_o preach_v truth_n from_o a_o text_n that_o reach_v it_o not_o to_o he_o yet_o i_o may_v charge_v he_o with_o not_o only_o the_o second_o but_o the_o three_o also_o for_o alas_o i_o grieve_v to_o speak_v it_o he_o preach_v such_o a_o doctrine_n which_o great_o reflect_v disparagement_n upon_o almighty_a god_n in_o respect_n of_o his_o goodness_n wisdom_n and_o power_n and_o therefore_o must_v needs_o have_v much_o of_o malignity_n in_o it_o how_o devout_a soever_o the_o preacher_n may_v seem_v to_o be_v now_o that_o you_o may_v not_o think_v i_o to_o be_v rash_a and_o inconsiderate_a in_o thus_o charge_v that_o gentleman_n give_v i_o leave_v to_o evince_v by_o a_o few_o word_n the_o truth_n of_o the_o charge_n i_o pray_v consider_v his_o text_n and_o his_o doctrine_n ground_v thereon_o the_o word_n of_o the_o text_n be_v these_o for_o it_o become_v he_o for_o who_o be_v all_o thing_n and_o by_o who_o be_v all_o thing_n in_o bring_v many_o son_n unto_o glory_n to_o make_v the_o captain_n of_o their_o salvation_n perfect_a through_o suffering_n his_o doctrine_n be_v this_o that_o there_o be_v no_o other_o way_n imaginable_a or_o possible_a whereby_o god_n may_v forgive_v sin_n but_o by_o a_o full_a and_o plenary_a satisfaction_n make_v to_o his_o justice_n by_o the_o death_n of_o his_o son_n he_o branches_z this_o doctrine_n into_o three_o proposition_n which_o be_v these_o 1._o that_o it_o be_v not_o possible_a for_o god_n to_o pardon_v sin_n and_o save_v sinner_n without_o satisfaction_n to_o his_o justice_n 2._o that_o it_o be_v impossible_a to_o obtain_v satisfaction_n by_o any_o other_o way_n but_o by_o christ_n 3._o that_o christ_n have_v give_v god_n a_o full_a and_o plenary_a satisfaction_n and_o thereby_o make_v way_n for_o the_o bring_n of_o all_o those_o son_n to_o glory_n that_o the_o father_n and_o he_o agree_v about_o when_o he_o undertake_v this_o work_n now_o consider_v i_o pray_v you_o serious_o whither_o any_o man_n but_o one_o that_o be_v first_o prepossess_v with_o such_o a_o opinion_n can_v have_v draw_v such_o a_o doctrine_n from_o that_o text._n the_o term_n i_o be_o sure_o be_v at_o a_o vast_a distance_n the_o text_n say_v it_o become_v he_o for_o who_o be_v all_o thing_n etc._n etc._n now_o suppose_v that_o to_o be_v in_o the_o text_n which_o be_v not_o viz._n that_o christ_n make_v satisfaction_n to_o the_o justice_n of_o god_n for_o man_n sin_n in_o mr._n f_n sense_n it_o will_v not_o follow_v from_o this_o it_o become_v god_n etc._n etc._n first_o that_o it_o be_v impossible_a to_o have_v be_v otherwise_o for_o mr._n f._n know_v well_o enough_o that_o though_o god_n can_v choose_v good_a or_o evil_n yet_o he_o may_v choose_v this_o or_o that_o good_a so_o that_o when_o it_o be_v say_v that_o such_o or_o such_o a_o thing_n become_v god_n it_o do_v not_o follow_v that_o the_o omission_n of_o that_o and_o the_o choose_n of_o another_o may_v not_o also_o have_v become_v he_o it_o do_v well_o agree_v with_o the_o wisdom_n and_o goodness_n of_o god_n to_o make_v the_o captain_n of_o our_o salvation_n perfect_a through_o suffering_n but_o what_o be_v we_o poor_a silly_a worm_n that_o we_o shall_v hence_o conclude_v that_o the_o wisdom_n of_o god_n can_v have_v find_v out_o no_o other_o way_n for_o his_o goodness_n to_o appear_v unto_o we_o in_o let_v we_o be_v thankful_a for_o this_o that_o he_o have_v do_v and_o admire_v his_o wisdom_n in_o it_o but_o let_v we_o not_o by_o our_o wisdom_n set_v bound_n to_o the_o only_a wise_a god_n however_o let_v we_o not_o do_v it_o ground_v upon_o a_o text_n that_o will_v not_o justify_v we_o therein_o as_o this_o preacher_n do_v but_o second_o how_o do_v it_o arise_v from_o this_o text_n that_o christ_n make_v full_a satisfaction_n to_o the_o justice_n of_o god_n the_o text_n say_v to_o make_v the_o captain_n of_o their_o salvation_n perfect_a through_o suffering_n as_o if_o for_o god_n to_o make_v christ_n perfect_a through_o suffering_n and_o for_o christ_n to_o make_v satisfaction_n to_o the_o justice_n of_o god_n be_v all_o one_o whereas_o for_o god_n in_o bring_v many_o son_n to_o glory_n to_o make_v the_o captain_n of_o their_o salvation_n perfect_a through_o suffering_n seem_v plain_o to_o imply_v no_o more_o but_o this_o to_o make_v the_o captain_n a_o perfect_a and_o complete_a captain_n or_o leader_n 1._o by_o make_v he_o to_o be_v to_o his_o soldier_n or_o follower_n those_o believer_n he_o be_v to_o bring_v to_o glory_n a_o pattern_n in_o do_v in_o suffer_v and_o in_o receive_v of_o glory_n 2._o by_o make_v he_o to_o have_v pity_n and_o compassion_n towards_o they_o in_o all_o difficulty_n and_o suffering_n through_o have_v experience_n of_o the_o same_o himself_o 3._o and_o last_o by_o give_v he_o power_n to_o supply_v they_o in_o the_o way_n and_o give_v they_o glory_n at_o the_o end_n inasmuch_o as_o by_o his_o suffering_n he_o come_v to_o sit_v down_o at_o the_o right_a hand_n of_o god_n if_o any_o man_n of_o a_o more_o refine_a wit_n than_o ordinary_a can_v draw_v any_o thing_n more_o from_o these_o term_n yet_o i_o persuade_v myself_o that_o no_o man_n will_v ever_o be_v able_a to_o convince_v a_o impartial_a hearer_n that_o christ_n be_v make_v perfect_a through_o suffering_n be_v christ_n make_v full_a satisfaction_n to_o the_o justice_n of_o god_n but_o if_o this_o proposition_n be_v not_o to_o be_v find_v in_o the_o text_n much_o less_o the_o other_o two_o that_o it_o be_v not_o possible_a for_o god_n to_o pardon_v without_o a_o satisfaction_n and_o that_o no_o
