his_o son_n the_o lord_n do_v hereby_o show_v a_o strong_a intense_a love_n unto_o justice_n then_o if_o he_o have_v damn_v ten_o thousand_o thousand_o creature_n suppose_v a_o malefactor_n come_v before_o a_o judge_n the_o judge_n will_v not_o spare_v the_o malefactor_n but_o require_v satisfaction_n to_o the_o law_n this_o show_v that_o the_o judge_n love_v justice_n but_o if_o the_o judge_n own_o son_n be_v a_o delinquent_n and_o it_o appear_v before_o all_o the_o country_n that_o the_o judge_n will_v not_o spare_v he_o but_o he_o must_v satisfy_v the_o law_n to_o the_o uttermost_a you_o will_v say_v the_o judge_n do_v honour_n unto_o justice_n more_o in_o this_o then_o in_o condemn_v many_o other_o malefactor_n so_o when_o the_o lord_n shall_v cast_v many_o thousand_o into_o hell_n there_o to_o be_v torment_v for_o ever_o this_o show_v that_o god_n love_v justice_n but_o when_o his_o own_o son_n shall_v take_v our_o sin_n upon_o he_o but_o by_o imputation_n &_o god_n will_v not_o spare_v he_o that_o be_v the_o very_a word_n of_o the_o scripture_n he_o spare_v not_o his_o own_o sonn_n say_v the_o text_n this_o declare_v god_n love_n to_o righteousness_n more_o than_o if_o all_o the_o world_n have_v be_v damn_v second_o suppose_v the_o sinner_n that_o be_v reconcile_v have_v be_v damn_v than_o the_o justice_n of_o god_n have_v be_v but_o in_o satisfy_v and_o never_o have_v full_o be_v satisfy_v but_o in_o that_o way_n that_o god_n have_v find_v out_o to_o save_v a_o sinner_n his_o justice_n be_v not_o only_a satisfy_n but_o it_o come_v to_o be_v full_o satisfy_v to_o have_v enough_o now_o it_o be_v a_o great_a honour_n to_o justice_n to_o be_v full_o satisfy_v then_o to_o be_v in_o satisfy_v as_o for_o instance_n suppose_v a_o man_n be_v a_o creditor_n to_o one_o who_o owe_v he_o five_o thousand_o pound_n this_o man_n be_v poor_a and_o the_o utmost_a he_o can_v pay_v be_v but_o six_o penny_n or_o twelve_o penny_n a_o week_n suppose_v the_o creditor_n shall_v lay_v he_o in_o the_o jail_n until_o he_o have_v pay_v all_o this_o man_n will_v be_v pay_v but_o will_v never_o be_v pay_v so_o long_o as_o the_o debtor_n live_v but_o if_o another_o rich_a man_n shall_v come_v and_o lay_v down_o five_o thousand_o pound_n at_o once_o the_o man_n be_v present_o satisfy_v here_o be_v the_o difference_n between_o god_n satisfy_v his_o justice_n upon_o sinner_n and_o upon_o jesus_n christ_n god_n come_v upon_o the_o sinner_n he_o require_v the_o debt_n of_o punishment_n because_o he_o do_v not_o pay_v the_o debt_n of_o obedience_n god_n cast_v he_o into_o prison_n the_o uttermost_a he_o can_v pay_v be_v but_o twelve_o penny_n a_o week_n as_o it_o be_v that_o be_v but_o a_o little_a and_o thereforefore_o he_o must_v be_v still_o pay_v and_o pay_v eternal_o which_o be_v the_o very_a ground_n of_o their_o eternal_a punishment_n in_o hell_n because_o they_o can_v pay_v enough_o in_o any_o finite_a time_n now_o come_v christ_n and_o he_o full_o pay_v the_o debt_n so_o that_o justice_n say_v it_o have_v enough_o it_o be_v satisfy_v this_o be_v the_o great_a glory_n to_o the_o justice_n of_o god_n three_o if_o the_o sinner_n have_v be_v send_v down_o to_o hell_n god_n have_v have_v the_o glory_n of_o his_o justice_n passive_o upon_o he_o he_o shall_v be_v for_o ever_o under_o the_o power_n and_o stroke_n of_o justice_n but_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n the_o sinner_n will_v have_v hate_v god_n for_o his_o justice_n and_o hate_a justice_n but_o when_o justice_n be_v honour_v active_o the_o sinner_n fall_v down_o and_o acknowledge_v himself_o guilty_a put_v himself_o under_o the_o stroke_n of_o god_n justice_n and_o accept_v of_o the_o punishment_n of_o his_o iniquity_n now_o god_n be_v delight_v more_o abundant_o in_o this_o active_a way_n of_o glorify_v his_o justice_n then_o if_o the_o sinner_n shall_v have_v be_v eternal_o in_o hell_n to_o have_v satisfy_v and_o now_o devil_n and_o all_o wicked_a man_n must_v needs_o have_v their_o mouth_n st●pped_v for_o ever_o they_o can_v cry_v out_o of_o god_n becanse_o he_o will_v marry_v himself_o to_o such_o sinner_n this_o be_v mercy_n but_o where_o be_v his_o righteousness_n where_o be_v the_o glory_n of_o his_o justice_n here_o be_v a_o answer_n to_o they_o all_o though_o the_o lord_n set_v his_o love_n upon_o vile_a sinner_n yet_o so_o as_o he_o do_v it_o in_o righteousness_n and_o this_o be_v a_o great_a encouragement_n to_o come_v in_o and_o believe_v as_o thus_o if_o the_o sinner_n be_v terrify_v with_o the_o apprehension_n of_o his_o sin_n i_o see_v by_o they_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n be_v incense_v and_o infinite_a justice_n come_v upon_o i_o and_o i_o hear_v that_o cry_n for_o satisfaction_n this_o bid_v the_o sinner_n know_v likewise_o that_o god_n have_v a_o way_n to_o satisfy_v infinite_a justice_n and_o yet_o to_o save_v thy_o soul_n he_o will_v marry_v thou_o unto_o himself_o and_o yet_o he_o will_v do_v it_o in_o righteousness_n and_o this_o be_v a_o mighty_a help_n unto_o a_o sinner_n against_o all_o fayling_n afterward_o a_o mighty_a establishment_n against_o a_o thousand_o objection_n the_o sinner_n may_v make_v against_o himself_o thus_o we_o must_v seek_v to_o god_n when_o we_o seek_v for_o reconciliation_n to_o be_v receive_v again_o when_o we_o have_v depart_v from_o he_o whatsoever_o god_n do_v for_o we_o he_o must_v do_v it_o in_o the_o way_n of_o righteousness_n as_o well_o as_o in_o the_o way_n of_o mercy_n take_v this_o with_o you_o sinner_n if_o ever_o you_o have_v a_o pardon_v seal_v unto_o you_o it_o must_v be_v seal_v in_o the_o court_n of_o justice_n as_o well_o as_o in_o the_o court_n of_o mercy_n therefore_o thou_o need_v not_o appeal_v from_o the_o court_n of_o justice_n to_o the_o mercy-seat_n for_o in_o that_o way_n of_o the_o mystery_n of_o godliness_n that_o there_o be_v in_o god_n reconcile_n himself_o unto_o a_o sinner_n there_o may_v be_v as_o much_o comfort_n in_o stand_v before_o the_o bar_n of_o justice_n as_o at_o the_o mercy-seat_n that_o be_v by_o stand_v there_o in_o and_o through_o christ_n for_o he_o have_v make_v justice_n propitious_a to_o we_o and_o now_o it_o plead_v to_o mercy_n for_o we_o and_o indeed_o this_o be_v the_o very_a work_n of_o faith_n to_o go_v unto_o god_n this_o way_n when_o by_o faith_n the_o sinner_n shall_v tender_v up_o unto_o god_n the_o father_n the_o righteousness_n of_o jesus_n christ_n for_o a_o atonement_n and_o satisfaction_n for_o sin_n it_o bring_v the_o comfort_n of_o justification_n this_o way_n when_o you_o come_v to_o god_n in_o any_o other_o way_n but_o this_o it_o be_v but_o in_o a_o natural_a way_n not_o in_o a_o true_a evangelical_a way_n a_o man_n by_o nature_n may_v know_v thus_o much_o that_o when_o he_o have_v sin_v he_o must_v seek_v unto_o god_n for_o mercy_n to_o pardon_v his_o sin_n or_o else_o he_o be_v miserable_a but_o to_o seek_v unto_o god_n for_o pardon_n with_o a_o price_n in_o our_o hand_n to_o tender_v up_o the_o merit_n of_o christ_n for_o a_o satisfaction_n to_o divine_a justice_n here_o be_v the_o mystery_n of_o faith_n faith_n be_v not_o only_o to_o rely_v upon_o god_n mercy_n for_o pardon_n but_o this_o i_o see_v riches_n of_o grace_n in_o christ_n and_o christ_n my_o surety_n have_v make_v a_o atonement_n have_v lay_v down_o a_o price_n now_o by_o faith_n i_o tender_v up_o this_o unto_o god_n the_o father_n and_o by_o this_o way_n i_o believe_v my_o soul_n shall_v be_v accept_v in_o he_o what_o a_o mighty_a engagement_n be_v this_o for_o we_o to_o be_v righteous_a with_o god_n the_o lord_n betrothe_v we_o unto_o himself_o in_o righteousness_n &_o we_o shall_v give_v up_o ourselves_o to_o he_o in_o righteousness_n too_o o_o my_o

cost_v he_o so_o dear_a to_o show_v himself_o righteous_a unto_o we_o what_o a_o infinite_a engagement_n be_v this_o unto_o we_o to_o be_v righteous_a before_o he_o cler._n to_o glorify_v god_n righteousness_n in_o our_o conversation_n i_o will_v do_v it_o in_o righteousness_n and_o you_o shall_v have_v such_o a_o righteous_a heart_n as_o you_o shall_v never_o be_v a_o dishonour_n unto_o i_o before_o the_o people_n neither_o devil_n nor_o wicked_a man_n shall_v ever_o be_v able_a to_o upbraid_v i_o that_o i_o set_v my_o love_n upon_o such_o creature_n as_o you_o because_o whatsoever_o

and_o make_v we_o look_v up_o to_o free_a grace_n not_o take_v we_o off_o from_o the_o practice_n of_o any_o but_o from_o rely_v upon_o any_o only_o to_o rely_v upon_o free_a grace_n in_o christ_n as_o this_o be_v the_o supernatural_a seek_v god_n so_o it_o be_v the_o most_o powerful_a way_n of_o seek_v he_o it_o be_v not_o enough_o to_o seek_v god_n by_o virtue_n of_o a_o promise_n except_o

because_o he_o have_v promise_v mercy_n this_o be_v a_o high_a degree_n but_o we_o must_v go_v high_a yet_o we_o must_v look_v to_o his_o son_n in_o who_o all_o the_o promise_n be_v yea_o &_o amen_o otherwise_o though_o we_o seek_v he_o never_o so_o earnest_o though_o we_o challenge_v his_o promise_n and_o cry_v to_o he_o to_o remember_v his_o promise_n yet_o if_o we_o do_v not_o act_v our_o

we_o may_v say_v or_o the_o great_a design_n he_o have_v to_o honour_v himself_o in_o the_o world_n here_o and_o everlasting_o hereafter_o certain_o though_o god_n have_v make_v the_o creature_n for_o

his_o glory_n in_o this_o he_o care_v not_o much_o for_o what_o soever_o glory_n you_o can_v give_v he_o otherwise_o you_o must_v not_o therefore_o expect_v when_o you_o seek_v god_n that_o you_o must_v have_v good_a thing_n from_o he_o mere_o because_o he_o be_v merciful_a you_o must_v not_o think_v that_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n serve_v to_o eike_v out_o our_o righteousness_n perhaps_o some_o will_v say_v it_o be_v true_a we_o be_v poor_a sinful_a creature_n and_o what_o can_v we_o expect_v from_o god_n be_v fin_n full_a but_o we_o hope_v that_o god_n will_v pardon_v our_o sin_n and_o so_o will_v accept_v of_o the_o poor_a service_n that_o we_o perform_v this_o be_v the_o way_n that_o most_o go_v they_o do_v as_o it_o be_v employ_v god_n mercy_n in_o such_o a_o work_n that_o
