that_o christ_n will_v suffer_v death_n without_o first_o consider_v somewhat_o else_o that_o require_v that_o suffering_n and_o something_o that_o put_v a_o value_n upon_o it_o 3._o so_o that_o the_o

unbelief_n as_o unbelief_n do_v not_o necessary_o require_v it_o but_o the_o guilt_n of_o unbelief_n or_o any_o other_o sin_n do_v require_v it_o if_o ever_o it_o be_v pardonable_a 4._o so_o that_o the_o follow_a effect_n of_o christ_n death_n do_v all_o presuppose_v the_o satisfaction_n of_o justice_n and_o hence_o christ_n death_n become_v so_o please_v to_o god_n not_o as_o death_n but_o as_o

the_o end_n why_o he_o satisfy_v his_o justice_n by_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o his_o son_n be_v that_o he_o may_v honourable_o wise_o and_o just_o give_v out_o the_o follow_a benefit_n which_o he_o give_v out_o hereupon_o so_o that_o christ_n death_n be_v as_o to_o god_n first_o satisfactory_a and_o then_o meritorious_a of_o further_a benefit_n now_o faith_n very_o remote_o follow_v all_o this_o as_o shall_v be_v show_v 5._o the_o thing_n that_o god_n can_v not_o do_v without_o satisfaction_n be_v the_o remit_v of_o sin_n and_o free_v the_o delinquent_n from_o punishment_n it_o be_v not_o direct_o nor_o in_o its_o self_n the_o bestow_n of_o faith_n 6._o for_o i_o will_v desire_v any_o judicious_a man_n to_o consider_v whether_o if_o christ_n have_v by_o his_o death_n satisfy_v god_n justice_n for_o man_n guilt_n and_o have_v not_o at_o all_o do_v any_o more_o by_o his_o death_n for_o the_o merit_v of_o faith_n may_v not_o god_n have_v give_v man_n faith_n at_o his_o own_o

dispute_n for_o search_v out_o the_o truth_n separate_v in_o our_o thought_n guilt_n of_o sin_n and_o want_v of_o faith_n in_o christ_n and_o we_o may_v suppose_v that_o christ_n have_v do_v no_o more_o by_o his_o death_n than_o to_o satisfy_v god_n justice_n for_o man_n guilt_n by_o bear_v that_o which_o be_v due_a to_o man_n now_o i_o will_v fain_o know_v this_o being_n once_o do_v why_o god_n or_o the_o redeemer_n may_v not_o give_v faith_n to_o who_o he_o will_v be_v there_o a_o further_a necessity_n of_o any_o new_a death_n or_o suffering_n to_o merit_v faith_n for_o we_o if_o there_o be_v what_o be_v that_o necessity_n it_o be_v no_o injustice_n in_o god_n to_o do_v it_o there_o be_v no_o law_n stand_v in_o the_o way_n by_o which_o he_o be_v oblige_v to_o the_o contrary_n perhaps_o some_o will_v object_v that_o the_o same_o may_v be_v say_v of_o pardon_n and_o salvation_n that_o there_o need_v no_o new_a suffering_n to_o merit_v they_o if_o once_o justice_n be_v satisfy_v and_o yet_o christ_n die_v for_o our_o justification_n and_o salvation_n to_o which_o i_o answer_v all_z this_o be_v true_a but_o then_o observe_v the_o difference_n separate_v in_o your_o thought_n remission_n justification_n and_o salvation_n on_o one_o side_n from_o faith_n in_o christ_n on_o the_o other_o side_n as_o we_o by_o supposition_n may_v well_o do_v in_o disputation_n and_o you_o will_v find_v that_o god_n can_v not_o give_v remission_n justification_n and_o salvation_n from_o punishment_n without_o christ_n satisfaction_n but_o he_o can_v have_v give_v faith_n in_o christ_n if_o you_o will_v suppose_v it_o to_o go_v alone_o without_o the_o former_a benefit_n without_o satisfaction_n i_o say_v he_o can_v not_o give_v the_o former_a not_o by_o reason_n of_o any_o
supposition_n that_o christ_n bear_v not_o punishment_n for_o any_o man_n sin_n but_o those_o who_o he_o intend_v infallible_o to_o bring_v to_o heaven_n which_o they_o have_v never_o yet_o prove_v

these_o conclusion_n 1._o that_o it_o be_v not_o the_o absence_n of_o faith_n in_o christ_n the_o remedy_n but_o the_o old_a law_n obligation_n of_o we_o to_o punishment_n or_o the_o guilt_n of_o sin_n which_o require_v christ_n satisfaction_n to_o god_n justice_n 2._o that_o christ_n by_o this_o satisfaction_n do_v not_o immediate_o merit_v faith_n itself_o but_o only_o those_o intermediate_v cause_n from_o whence_o the_o faith_n of_o his_o elect_n be_v produce_v that_o be_v he_o purchase_v all_o man_n from_o the_o legal_a necessity_n of_o perish_v that_o they_o be_v in_o into_o his_o

sufficient_a mean_n and_o help_n of_o grace_n to_o draw_v all_o man_n towards_o he_o resolve_v to_o draw_v his_o elect_n infallible_o to_o he_o 3._o that_o it_o be_v therefore_o a_o improper_a and_o
