such_o like_o corruptible_fw-fr thing_n they_o be_v all_o too_o base_a to_o come_v in_o this_o account_n but_o the_o precious_a blood_n of_o christ_n 24._o and_o 2_o 24._o and_o so_o he_o say_v in_o

will_v think_v it_o have_v be_v more_o convenient_a that_o see_v we_o be_v violent_o and_o unjust_o hold_v captive_n our_o saviour_n shall_v have_v come_v upon_o he_o with_o great_a power_n and_o

we_o and_o in_o his_o just_a judgement_n have_v give_v we_o over_o for_o our_o sin_n unto_o the_o power_n of_o the_o devil_n as_o his_o jailer_n now_o when_o the_o king_n be_v pacify_v towards_o a_o

as_o the_o father_n be_v infinite_a be_v infinite_o provoke_v by_o finite_a sin_n so_o the_o son_n of_o god_n be_v equal_a to_o his_o father_n &_o therefore_o infinite_a can_v not_o but_o infinite_o

if_o we_o consider_v the_o foreknowledge_n and_o eternal_a decree_n of_o god_n than_o we_o may_v true_o say_v it_o be_v altogether_o impossible_a for_o man_n to_o be_v redeem_v by_o any_o other_o mean_n other_o augustine_n bernard_n &_o other_o some_o of_o the_o father_n have_v invent_v this_o witty_a devise_n namely_o that_o the_o cause_n of_o man_n be_v from_o all_o eternity_n debate_v in_o

the_o justice_n and_o truth_n of_o god_n plead_v hard_o against_o man_n and_o call_v for_o punishment_n according_a to_o his_o desert_n but_o his_o mercy_n and_o peace_n plead_v for_o he_o and_o defend_v he_o in_o the_o end_n his_o wisdom_n find_v out_o a_o way_n
whereby_o both_o his_o justice_n may_v be_v satisfy_v &_o his_o mercy_n may_v take_v place_n namely_o that_o the_o son_n of_o god_n take_v our_o flesh_n upon_o he_o shall_v in_o it_o suffer_v the_o death_n that_o be_v due_a to_o our_o sin_n that_o as_o man_n have_v trespass_v so_o man_n may_v make_v satisfaction_n and_o therefore_o in_o this_o respect_n it_o be_v necessary_a that_o christ_n shall_v die_v for_o us._n as_o hilary_n say_v well_o 42_o in_o mat._n 26_o 42_o therefore_o can_v not_o the_o cup_n pass_v from_o he_o but_o he_o must_v drink_v of_o it_o because_o we_o can_v not_o be_v recover_v but_o by_o his_o passion_n but_o that_o we_o may_v not_o be_v mistake_v in_o this_o point_n we_o be_v to_o know_v that_o there_o be_v diverse_a kind_n of_o necessity_n first_o there_o be_v a_o absolute_a necessity_n when_o a_o thing_n in_o regard_n of_o the_o nature_n of_o it_o can_v be_v otherwise_o thus_o the_o sun_n do_v necessary_o shine_v in_o the_o firmament_n thus_o the_o fire_n do_v necessary_o burn_v and_o the_o night_n do_v necessary_o follow_v the_o day_n second_o there_o be_v a_o necessity_n of_o constraint_n thus_o a_o malefactor_n necessary_o go_v to_o prison_n because_o he_o be_v force_v whether_o he_o will_v or_o no._n three_o there_o be_v a_o necessity_n in_o respect_n of_o the_o end_n and_o thus_o armour_n and_o weapon_n be_v necessary_a for_o he_o that_o go_v forth_o to_o fight_v in_o the_o first_o sense_n there_o be_v no_o necessity_n that_o christ_n shall_v suffer_v for_o as_o we_o have_v hear_v before_o god_n have_v a_o thousand_o other_o way_n to_o redeem_v man_n by_o if_o it_o have_v please_v he_o neither_o be_v it_o necessary_a in_o the_o second_o sense_n because_o god_n can_v be_v compel_v by_o any_o power_n or_o violence_n but_o in_o the_o three_o sense_n it_o be_v necessary_a because_o god_n have_v so_o decree_v and_o appoint_v it_o and_o indeed_o this_o be_v the_o most_o convenient_a and_o necessary_a mean_n of_o our_o redemption_n that_o can_v be_v both_o in_o respect_n of_o god_n and_o also_o in_o respect_n of_o us._n there_o be_v many_o reason_n why_o it_o be_v most_o convenient_a in_o respect_n of_o god_n as_o first_o in_o respect_n of_o his_o truth_n god_n have_v foretell_v in_o his_o word_n and_o promise_v that_o it_o shall_v be_v so_o he_o be_v wound_v for_o our_o transgression_n say_v the_o prophet_n

our_o saviour_n christ_n appear_v to_o the_o two_o disciple_n that_o go_v to_o emmaus_n and_o perceive_v that_o they_o begin_v to_o stagger_v and_o doubt_v of_o his_o resurrection_n 26._o lu._n 24_o 25_o 26._o say_v unto_o they_o o_o fool_n and_o slow_a of_o heart_n to_o believe_v all_o that_o the_o prophet_n have_v speak_v ought_v not_o christ_n to_o have_v suffer_v these_o thing_n and_o to_o have_v enter_v into_o his_o glory_n and_o when_o peter_n have_v draw_v his_o sword_n and_o begin_v to_o fight_v in_o his_o quarrel_n he_o tell_v he_o that_o he_o can_v pray_v to_o his_o father_n and_o he_o will_v give_v he_o more_o than_o twelve_o legion_n of_o angel_n 54_o mat._n 26_o 53_o 54_o but_o how_o then_o say_v he_o shall_v the_o scripture_n be_v fulfil_v which_o say_v that_o it_o must_v be_v so_o mark_v here_o the_o scripture_n have_v say_v that_o christ_n must_v die_v the_o prophet_n have_v foretell_v as_o much_o and_o god_n be_v always_o true_a in_o his_o word_n therefore_o it_o must_v be_v so_o second_o in_o respect_n of_o his_o justice_n which_o as_o we_o have_v hear_v already_o do_v require_v that_o the_o same_o nature_n that_o have_v offend_v the_o majesty_n of_o god_n shall_v also_o make_v satisfaction_n three_o in_o respect_n of_o his_o mercy_n for_o see_v it_o be_v in_o his_o power_n to_o destroy_v all_o mankind_n and_o that_o just_o too_o it_o be_v a_o evidence_n of_o unspeakable_a mercy_n to_o make_v choice_n of_o one_o to_o be_v punish_v instead_o of_o many_o four_o in_o respect_n of_o his_o wisdom_n which_o temper_v and_o allay_v the_o rigour_n and_o severity_n of_o his_o justice_n with_o the_o sweetness_n of_o his_o mercy_n so_o that_o in_o the_o suffering_n of_o christ_n there_o be_v neither_o cruelty_n nor_o remissness_n 10_o psalm_n 85_o

1._o genesis_n 7_o 1._o as_o where_o it_o be_v say_v that_o every_o beast_n and_o all_o cattle_n and_o every_o thing_n that_o creep_v and_o move_v upon_o the_o earth_n and_o every_o towle_n and_o
