the_o answer_n be_v twofold_a 141._o 1._o that_o christ_n suffer_v for_o our_o sin_n by_o god_n appointment_n and_o undergo_v a_o cruel_a death_n as_o a_o sacrifice_n of_o expiation_n who_o can_v imagine_v this_o to_o be_v the_o racovian_a catechism_n still_o 2._o because_o those_o who_o be_v to_o be_v save_v by_o he_o be_v subject_a to_o the_o like_a suffering_n this_o be_v somewhat_o a_o dark_a reason_n but_o the_o former_a be_v that_o which_o we_o be_v to_o consider_v christ_n say_v they_o suffer_v for_o the_o sin_n of_o mankind_n and_o be_v a_o sacrifice_n of_o expiation_n by_o his_o death_n what_o can_v we_o desire_v more_o shall_v we_o always_o maintain_v dispute_n about_o word_n when_o we_o agree_v in_o sense_n no_o that_o be_v not_o the_o case_n but_o we_o may_v seem_v to_o agree_v in_o word_n and_o differ_v in_o sense_n that_o therefore_o must_v be_v more_o strict_o examine_v but_o because_o they_o sometime_o seem_v to_o be_v displease_v that_o we_o take_v their_o opinion_n from_o foreign_a writer_n 32._o since_o they_o here_o set_v up_o for_o themselves_o and_o be_v so_o able_a to_o express_v their_o own_o sense_n and_o because_o they_o refer_v i_o to_o their_o own_o late_a print_n in_o the_o english_a tongue_n therefore_o i_o shall_v apply_v myself_o to_o they_o to_o find_v out_o what_o their_o true_a sense_n in_o this_o matter_n be_v and_o they_o seem_v free_o to_o tell_v we_o what_o they_o deny_v and_o what_o they_o affirm_v 12._o 1._o they_o deny_v that_o this_o sacrifice_n be_v by_o way_n of_o true_a and_o proper_a satisfaction_n or_o full_a and_o adequate_a payment_n to_o the_o justice_n of_o god_n 2._o they_o affirm_v that_o this_o sacrifice_n be_v only_o a_o oblation_n or_o application_n to_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n in_o another_o place_n they_o complain_v 58._o that_o very_o few_o of_o their_o adversary_n have_v real_o understand_v what_o they_o affirm_v or_o deny_v concern_v the_o cause_n or_o effect_n of_o our_o saviour_n death_n and_o they_o say_v the_o question_n be_v only_o this_o whether_o the_o lord_n christ_n offer_v himself_o as_o such_o a_o sacrifice_n oblation_n or_o price_n as_o may_v be_v make_v to_o the_o justice_n of_o god_n by_o way_n of_o equivalent_a for_o what_o we_o shall_v have_v suffer_v or_o be_v a_o oblation_n or_o satisfaction_n as_o all_o former_a sacrifice_n under_o the_o law_n be_v to_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n by_o way_n of_o humble_a suit_n and_o deprecation_n so_o that_o they_o will_v no_o long_o dispute_v with_o we_o about_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n be_v a_o expiatory_a sacrifice_n for_o the_o sin_n of_o mankind_n and_o so_o this_o point_n seem_v whole_o gain_v but_o we_o must_v have_v a_o care_n of_o be_v deceive_v by_o they_o for_o the_o scripture_n be_v too_o clear_a and_o full_a to_o be_v bear_v down_o by_o the_o authority_n or_o evasion_n of_o socinus_n and_o therefore_o they_o find_v it_o necessary_a to_o comply_v in_o term_n as_o long_o as_o they_o can_v keep_v to_o their_o own_o notion_n under_o they_o but_o what_o be_v the_o true_a mean_v of_o a_o expiatory_a sacrifice_n to_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n if_o it_o be_v no_o more_o but_o as_o a_o condition_n intervening_a socinus_n will_v not_o allow_v that_o to_o make_v a_o expiatory_a sacrifice_n and_o therein_o he_o be_v in_o the_o right_n the_o main_a point_n then_o between_o we_o seem_v to_o be_v whether_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n have_v respect_n to_o the_o justice_n or_o to_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n 53._o and_o here_o we_o must_v consider_v what_o they_o understand_v by_o the_o justice_n of_o god_n 1._o they_o say_v that_o almighty_a god_n as_o king_n and_o proprietor_n of_o all_o person_n and_o thing_n can_v forgive_v any_o offence_n or_o all_o offence_n even_o without_o repentance_n or_o amendment_n nor_o be_v it_o contrary_a to_o his_o justice_n so_o to_o do_v 2._o that_o it_o be_v not_o the_o justice_n of_o god_n by_o which_o he_o be_v prompt_v to_o

misplace_v and_o that_o it_o do_v not_o exceed_v the_o offence_n 3._o that_o god_n can_v not_o just_o or_o wise_o substitute_v a_o innocent_a and_o well_o deserve_a person_n to_o undergo_v punishment_n 54._o proper_o so_o call_v in_o the_o place_n of_o the_o unrighteous_a and_o worthless_a because_o it_o be_v of_o the_o nature_n of_o justice_n not_o to_o misplace_v punishment_n 4._o that_o christ_n can_v not_o offer_v himself_o free_o for_o we_o to_o undergo_v the_o punishment_n due_a to_o we_o nor_o can_v god_n accept_v of_o it_o or_o allow_v it_o because_o it_o be_v of_o the_o very_a essence_n of_o justice_n not_o to_o misplace_v punishment_n and_o not_o to_o exceed_v the_o desert_n of_o the_o offence_n 55._o which_o they_o say_v be_v the_o two_o thing_n that_o constitute_v the_o nature_n of_o punitive_a justice_n 18._o in_o another_o place_n they_o say_v that_o christ_n make_v himself_o a_o oblation_n a_o expiatory_a sacrifice_n on_o the_o altar_n of_o the_o cross_n for_o our_o sin_n but_o his_o suffering_n be_v not_o as_o trinitarian_n teach_v design_v as_o a_o punishment_n lay_v on_o he_o in_o our_o stead_n because_o punishment_n be_v the_o evil_a of_o suffer_v

be_v to_o be_v regard_v but_o mere_a word_n this_o controversy_n be_v at_o a_o end_n for_o they_o own_o christ_n death_n to_o be_v a_o expiatory_a sacrifice_n for_o the_o sin_n of_o mankind_n and_o that_o he_o make_v by_o his_o suffering_n satisfaction_n to_o god_n but_o i_o shall_v now_o make_v it_o appear_v that_o whatever_o they_o pretend_v they_o do_v real_o own_v no_o such_o thing_n as_o

he_o up_o to_o death_n and_o give_v his_o body_n to_o the_o cross_n and_o although_o christ_n by_o the_o ordinary_a force_n of_o the_o law_n of_o moses_n have_v a_o right_a to_o escape_v so_o painful_a and_o accurse_a a_o death_n yet_o god_n by_o the_o right_n of_o dominion_n have_v the_o power_n of_o disposal_n of_o he_o because_o he_o intend_v to_o compensate_a his_o torment_n with_o a_o

the_o suffering_n of_o christ_n a_o act_n of_o mere_a dominion_n in_o god_n without_o any_o antecedent_n cause_n as_o the_o reason_n of_o they_o only_o he_o qualify_v this_o act_n of_o dominion_n with_o the_o proposal_n of_o a_o reward_n for_o it_o but_o we_o must_v yet_o further_o inquire_v into_o their_o meaning_n for_o though_o here_o crellius_n attribute_n the_o suffering_n of_o christ_n

7._o and_o that_o the_o sin_n of_o man_n be_v the_o impulsive_a cause_n of_o they_o and_o although_o socinus_n in_o one_o place_n utter_o deny_v any_o lawful_a antecedent_n cause_n of_o the_o death_n
