too_o in_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o thing_n itself_o that_o creature_n so_o different_a shall_v be_v under_o different_a law_n and_o that_o therefore_o neither_o their_o obedience_n to_o nor_o their_o transgression_n of_o those_o several_a law_n under_o which_o they_o be_v shall_v have_v any_o such_o concern_v or_o relation_n to_o one_o another_o as_o that_o one_o sort_n of_o creature_n shall_v in_o any_o case_n undergo_v the_o penalty_n of_o the_o transgression_n of_o the_o other_o sort_n of_o creature_n and_o therefore_o for_o the_o same_o reason_n that_o we_o shall_v look_v upon_o it_o as_o absurd_a and_o unjust_a that_o a_o man_n shall_v suffer_v for_o the_o sin_n of_o a_o angel_n i_o say_v for_o the_o same_o reason_n we_o shall_v think_v it_o no_o less_o absurd_a and_o unjust_a that_o a_o angel_n shall_v suffer_v for_o the_o sin_n of_o a_o man._n the_o thing_n may_v be_v make_v out_o in_o more_o word_n but_o it_o need_v not_o now_o these_o few_o remark_n be_v leave_v by_o the_o way_n to_o give_v perspicuity_n and_o strength_n to_o those_o thing_n which_o be_v to_o follow_v the_o wisdom_n justice_n reasonableness_n and_o congruity_n of_o the_o redemption_n of_o mankind_n by_o the_o suffering_n and_o death_n of_o our_o saviour_n as_o that_o redemption_n be_v express_o lay_v down_o in_o the_o scripture_n will_v appear_v from_o these_o follow_a consideration_n 1._o and_o first_o our_o saviour_n who_o by_o his_o death_n and_o suffering_n undertake_v the_o purchase_n of_o man_n redemption_n be_v as_o real_o and_o very_o a_o man_n himself_o as_o be_v those_o who_o he_o undertake_v to_o redeem_v this_o be_v evident_a because_o he_o be_v all_o along_o in_o the_o new_a testament_n call_v man_n the_o son_n of_o man_n and_o the_o like_a as_o we_o have_v make_v it_o out_o already_o and_o this_o so_o far_o accommodate_v the_o scripture-account_a of_o the_o purchase_n of_o man_n salvation_n to_o the_o law_n that_o 1._o as_o the_o law_n threaten_v the_o punishment_n to_o man_n alone_o and_o to_o no_o other_o creature_n so_o in_o the_o purchase_n of_o the_o redemption_n man_n alone_o suffer_v such_o punishment_n and_o no_o creature_n beside_o 2._o and_o second_o as_o it_o accommodate_v the_o scripture-account_a of_o the_o purchase_n of_o man_n redemption_n to_o the_o law_n because_o our_o saviour_n who_o suffer_v in_o order_n to_o such_o purchase_n be_v a_o man_n so_o it_o accommodate_v the_o scripture-account_a of_o the_o purchase_n of_o man_n redemption_n to_o the_o rule_n of_o justice_n because_o our_o saviour_n who_o suffer_v in_o order_n to_o such_o purchase_n be_v a_o innocent_a man._n it_o may_v perhaps_o at_o first_o sight_n look_v strange_a when_o i_o say_v that_o the_o purchase_n of_o redemption_n by_o the_o death_n of_o a_o innocent_a man_n be_v accommodate_v to_o the_o rule_n of_o justice_n but_o the_o wonder_n will_v then_o vanish_v when_o i_o shall_v come_v to_o make_v it_o out_o that_o though_o a_o innocent_a man_n can_v without_o his_o own_o consent_n be_v just_o punish_v yet_o that_o with_o such_o his_o consent_n he_o may_v be_v so_o punish_v but_o because_o that_o belong_v to_o another_o place_n therefore_o in_o this_o i_o pass_v it_o by_o for_o that_o that_o i_o design_n at_o present_a be_v only_o to_o show_v that_o it_o be_v not_o agreeable_a to_o the_o law_n of_o justice_n that_o a_o criminal_a against_o the_o law_n shall_v expiate_v another_o man_n sin_n by_o suffer_v the_o penalty_n of_o the_o law_n because_o the_o penalty_n which_o he_o suffer_v be_v the_o just_a demerit_n and_o wage_n of_o his_o own_o sin_n he_o can_v by_o undergo_a the_o punishment_n of_o his_o own_o sin_n add_v any_o such_o desert_n to_o such_o his_o punishment_n as_o to_o make_v it_o meritorious_a of_o impunity_n to_o any_o other_o sinner_n as_o therefore_o under_o the_o last_o head_n we_o learn_v that_o he_o who_o by_o his_o punishment_n expiate_v the_o sin_n of_o another_o man_n must_v in_o reason_n and_o congruity_n be_v a_o man_n himself_o so_o under_o this_o head_n we_o may_v learn_v that_o he_o must_v be_v a_o innocent_a man_n likewise_o and_o so_o the_o suffering_n and_o death_n of_o our_o saviour_n for_o the_o redemption_n of_o mankind_n will_v afford_v we_o a_o further_a congruity_n to_o the_o rule_n of_o reason_n and_o justice_n in_o that_o that_o saviour_n be_v exhibit_v to_o we_o in_o the_o gospel_n not_o only_o to_o be_v a_o man_n but_o also_o to_o be_v a_o innocent_a man._n 3._o the_o wisdom_n justice_n and_o reasonableness_n of_o the_o redemption_n of_o mankind_n by_o the_o suffering_n and_o death_n of_o our_o saviour_n as_o that_o saviour_n be_v a_o man_n will_v yet_o far_o and_o more_o notorious_o appear_v if_o we_o consider_v the_o first_o rise_n and_o formation_n of_o mankind_n according_a to_o that_o account_n which_o the_o scripture_n give_v we_o of_o it_o for_o there_o we_o be_v tell_v in_o general_a that_o god_n do_v of_o one_o blood_n make_v all_o nation_n of_o man_n for_o to_o dwell_v on_o the_o face_n of_o the_o whole_a earth_n in_o the_o seventeen_o chapter_n of_o the_o act_n of_o the_o apostle_n and_o then_o if_o we_o look_v back_o to_o the_o original_a creation_n of_o mankind_n and_o there_o inquire_v more_o particular_o how_o this_o be_v do_v we_o shall_v from_o thence_o be_v inform_v that_o god_n first_o make_v adam_n out_o of_o the_o earth_n and_o that_o after_o that_o he_o make_v eve_n out_o of_o adam_n both_o of_o they_o extraordinary_a and_o miraculous_a production_n and_o that_o then_o through_o all_o succeed_a generation_n he_o form_v all_o the_o rest_n of_o mankind_n out_o of_o both_o or_o such_o succeed_a pair_n which_o proceed_v from_o both_o to_o a_o understand_a man_n as_o miraculous_a though_o a_o more_o ordinary_a production_n than_o that_o of_o the_o first_o man_n and_o woman_n so_o that_o all_o mankind_n be_v by_o the_o scripture-account_a of_o the_o thing_n a_o continue_a propagation_n of_o the_o blood_n of_o adam_n branch_v out_o through_o the_o several_a dissemination_n of_o all_o succeed_a man_n and_o woman_n from_o his_o day_n to_o this_o present_a time_n now_o our_o saviour_n as_o he_o be_v man_n take_v part_n of_o this_o flesh_n and_o blood_n so_o the_o scripture_n and_o by_o do_v so_o become_v a_o part_n of_o that_o common_a blood_n out_o of_o which_o all_o the_o particular_a man_n in_o the_o world_n be_v and_o always_o have_v be_v make_v as_o well_o as_o he_o he_o stand_v therefore_o in_o as_o near_o a_o relation_n to_o all_o mankind_n as_o can_v possible_o be_v make_v by_o the_o same_o flesh_n and_o blood_n and_o that_o relation_n may_v well_o be_v grant_v to_o be_v very_o near_o because_o it_o be_v that_o very_a relation_n which_o the_o several_a part_n of_o a_o thing_n by_o continue_a derivation_n the_o same_o have_v to_o one_o another_o and_o so_o far_o the_o relation_n of_o our_o saviour_n to_o the_o rest_n of_o mankind_n be_v in_o all_o circumstance_n exact_o the_o same_o with_o that_o relation_n which_o every_o other_o man_n have_v to_o every_o other_o but_o yet_o there_o be_v something_o peculiar_a to_o our_o saviour_n in_o his_o become_a man_n which_o do_v not_o belong_v to_o any_o other_o man_n whosoever_o and_o that_o be_v that_o as_o the_o first_o woman_n be_v form_v only_o out_o of_o the_o man_n so_o our_o saviour_n be_v form_v only_o out_o of_o the_o woman_n and_o according_o the_o first_o promise_n of_o redemption_n that_o god_n give_v to_o adam_n after_o he_o have_v sin_v be_v prophetical_o word_v when_o he_o tell_v he_o that_o the_o seed_n of_o the_o woman_n shall_v break_v the_o serpent_n head_n and_o therefore_o as_o adam_n be_v in_o the_o scripture_n call_v the_o first_o man_n because_o he_o be_v form_v out_o of_o the_o earth_n so_o our_o saviour_n be_v call_v the_o second_o man_n in_o the_o same_o scripture_n because_o he_o be_v form_v out_o of_o the_o woman_n that_o be_v he_o be_v the_o first_o man_n after_o his_o kind_a as_o adam_n be_v in_o he_o to_o our_o present_a purpose_n and_o design_n then_o as_o we_o can_v but_o take_v notice_n that_o god_n counsel_n and_o merciful_a purpose_n for_o the_o redemption_n of_o mankind_n be_v very_o early_o for_o that_o counsel_n must_v needs_o be_v so_o that_o be_v in_o a_o manner_n cotemporary_a to_o man_n first_o sin_n as_o the_o immediate_a discovery_n of_o that_o counsel_n to_o man_n upon_o the_o commission_n of_o that_o sin_n do_v make_v it_o appear_v so_o some_o glimpse_n of_o that_o counsel_n do_v to_o i_o seem_v to_o show_v forth_o themselves_o in_o the_o scripture-account_a of_o man_n creation_n for_o when_o god_n tell_v we_o in_o his_o word_n that_o he_o have_v so_o order_v the_o creation_n propagation_n and_o dissemination_n of_o mankind_n that_o though_o their_o number_n be_v to_o we_o innumerable_a yet_o we_o do_v for_o all_o
the_o incarnation_n of_o our_o saviour_n i_o will_v offer_v it_o to_o consideration_n that_o the_o scripture_n do_v instruct_v we_o that_o there_o be_v a_o very_a intimate_a union_n between_o christ_n and_o his_o church_n and_o though_o humane_a and_o unassisted_a reason_n take_v its_o measure_n from_o other_o instance_n of_o the_o like_a appearance_n may_v be_v apt_a to_o conclude_v that_o the_o union_n of_o our_o saviour_n with_o his_o church_n be_v but_o a_o political_a union_n such_o as_o be_v between_o a_o king_n and_o his_o subject_n or_o the_o head_n and_o member_n of_o a_o ordinary_a corporation_n yet_o a_fw-fr christian_n reason_n once_o true_o enlighten_v and_o so_o guide_v by_o divine_a revelation_n will_v thereupon_o conclude_v it_o to_o be_v something_o noble_o and_o better_o and_o because_o it_o be_v inform_v that_o he_o take_v part_n of_o the_o same_o flesh_n and_o blood_n with_o his_o member_n and_o because_o he_o their_o head_n do_v influence_n such_o his_o member_n by_o his_o spirit_n in_o order_n to_o their_o spiritual_a life_n that_o therefore_o there_o be_v between_o they_o in_o some_o sense_n a_o vital_a union_n from_o whence_o we_o may_v to_o our_o present_a purpose_n conclude_v that_o one_o person_n may_v be_v vital_o unite_v to_o another_o and_o that_o too_o at_o the_o great_a apparent_a distance_n and_o that_o they_o may_v by_o that_o mean_n become_v one_o though_o our_o sense_n and_o our_o natural_a but_o unassisted_a reason_n do_v give_v we_o in_o quite_o contrary_a information_n when_o the_o king_n of_o syria_n send_v a_o great_a host_n and_o enclose_v elisha_n in_o dothan_n in_o order_n to_o his_o destruction_n the_o man_n of_o god_n to_o encourage_v his_o despond_v servant_n desire_v of_o the_o lord_n to_o open_v his_o eye_n and_o when_o that_o be_v do_v he_o see_v the_o mountain_n full_a of_o horse_n and_o chariot_n of_o fire_n round_o about_o his_o master_n now_o though_o one_o may_v well_o think_v and_o natural_a reason_n will_v be_v apt_a to_o incline_v one_o more_o than_o bare_o to_o think_v so_o that_o fire_n be_v a_o thing_n very_o discoverable_a to_o our_o sight_n for_o perhaps_o nothing_o discover_v itself_o to_o our_o sight_n but_o fire_n yet_o we_o see_v that_o sometime_o revelation_n be_v require_v even_o for_o such_o a_o discovery_n but_o then_o such_o a_o revelation_n when_o once_o make_v do_v easy_o work_v a_o conviction_n and_o true_o i_o can_v persuade_v myself_o but_o that_o the_o revelation_n of_o our_o saviour_n union_n with_o his_o church_n will_v do_v so_o too_o will_v christian_n but_o consider_v it_o with_o a_o honest_a and_o sincere_a mind_n and_o with_o a_o free_a and_o impartial_a reason_n for_o though_o i_o be_o satisfy_v that_o bare_a reason_n can_v not_o have_v discover_v it_o yet_o i_o can_v so_o well_o satisfy_v myself_o that_o a_o diligent_a use_n of_o our_o reason_n will_v then_o let_v we_o dissent_v from_o it_o when_o once_o revelation_n have_v acquaint_v we_o with_o it_o 2._o but_o second_o i_o will_v have_v it_o consider_v in_o order_n to_o the_o assist_v our_o belief_n of_o the_o union_n of_o god_n with_o man_n in_o the_o incarnation_n of_o our_o saviour_n whether_o or_o no_o the_o apprehension_n of_o the_o possible_a union_n of_o god_n with_o man_n be_v not_o at_o least_o in_o some_o degree_n natural_a for_o that_o the_o heathen_a in_o many_o country_n and_o in_o several_a age_n have_v such_o a_o notion_n and_o that_o too_o very_o ordinary_a and_o common_a may_v be_v make_v out_o from_o innumerable_a instance_n out_o of_o their_o several_a history_n but_o it_o will_v be_v the_o less_o needful_a to_o produce_v any_o from_o thence_o because_o we_o be_v furnish_v with_o one_o out_o of_o the_o act_n of_o the_o apostle_n for_o there_o in_o the_o fourteen_o chapter_n where_o we_o have_v a_o account_n that_o paul_n and_o barnabas_n cure_v the_o impotent_a man_n who_o have_v be_v a_o cripple_n from_o his_o mother_n womb_n we_o be_v likewise_o tell_v that_o the_o people_n lift_v up_o their_o voice_n and_o say_v that_o the_o god_n be_v come_v down_o to_o we_o in_o the_o likeness_n of_o men._n and_o that_o we_o may_v not_o think_v that_o such_o apprehension_n proceed_v only_o from_o a_o idolatrous_a notion_n of_o the_o deity_n we_o may_v furnish_v ourselves_o with_o instance_n in_o abundance_n from_o the_o old_a testament_n that_o the_o worshipper_n of_o the_o true_a god_n have_v constant_o the_o same_o apprehension_n for_o though_o god_n sometime_o appear_v to_o the_o jew_n in_o fire_n as_o to_o moses_n in_o the_o bush_n and_o sometime_o in_o a_o cloud_n as_o in_o the_o tabernacle_n and_o sometime_o in_o both_o together_o as_o in_o the_o wilderness_n and_o in_o mount_n sinai_n yet_o his_o more_o constant_a and_o repeat_v appearance_n to_o particular_a person_n be_v in_o the_o likeness_n of_o man._n so_o he_o appear_v to_o abraham_n to_o isaac_n to_o jacob_n to_o joshua_n to_o manoah_n and_o to_o several_a other_o and_o though_o it_o be_v free_o confess_v that_o some_o of_o those_o appearance_n be_v in_o reality_n but_o the_o appearance_n of_o angel_n yet_o it_o must_v be_v grant_v also_o that_o such_o angel_n be_v so_o unite_v to_o those_o body_n in_o which_o they_o appear_v that_o they_o do_v in_o they_o exercise_v several_a action_n both_o of_o a_o humane_a and_o animal_n life_n by_o which_o we_o may_v be_v instruct_v that_o a_o angel_n may_v be_v so_o unite_v to_o man_n that_o our_o knowledge_n of_o that_o may_v help_v to_o lead_v we_o one_o step_n far_o towards_o our_o belief_n that_o man_n may_v be_v unite_v to_o god_n it_o must_v be_v grant_v also_o that_o though_o in_o several_a of_o the_o instance_n lay_v down_o the_o union_n be_v only_o between_o a_o man_n and_o a_o angel_n yet_o which_o be_v close_o to_o our_o present_a purpose_n they_o who_o see_v the_o appearance_n do_v almost_o constant_o take_v it_o for_o the_o appearance_n of_o god_n so_o it_o seem_v to_o be_v in_o the_o case_n of_o joshua_n in_o the_o five_o chapter_n of_o that_o book_n so_o it_o be_v in_o the_o case_n of_o manoah_n and_o his_o wife_n in_o the_o thirteen_o chapter_n of_o judge_n where_o the_o man_n tell_v his_o wife_n we_o shall_v certain_o die_v because_o we_o have_v see_v god_n and_o so_o undoubted_o it_o be_v in_o the_o case_n of_o abraham_n when_o he_o entertain_v the_o three_o man_n in_o the_o eighteen_o chapter_n of_o genesis_n for_o abraham_n in_o his_o behaviour_n and_o discourse_n treat_v one_o of_o they_o as_o the_o lord_n god_n himself_o and_o more_o particular_o in_o the_o twenty_o five_o verse_n call_v he_o the_o judge_n of_o all_o the_o earth_n to_o our_o purpose_n then_o if_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o angel_n have_v appear_v to_o man_n in_o humane_a shape_n if_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o under_o such_o appearance_n they_o have_v do_v several_a action_n of_o the_o humane_a life_n such_o as_o talk_v walk_v eat_v drink_v and_o the_o like_a if_o it_o be_v probable_a that_o god_n himself_o have_v so_o appear_v and_o under_o such_o appearance_n have_v also_o do_v the_o same_o thing_n and_o last_o if_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o most_o of_o those_o people_n to_o who_o such_o appearance_n have_v be_v make_v have_v constant_o take_v such_o appearance_n for_o the_o appearance_n of_o god_n in_o the_o likeness_n of_o man_n i_o say_v if_o these_o thing_n be_v so_o as_o it_o be_v probable_a by_o what_o have_v be_v say_v in_o short_a that_o so_o they_o be_v then_o as_o we_o may_v rational_o look_v upon_o such_o thing_n as_o presiguration_n of_o the_o incarnation_n so_o may_v we_o also_o be_v so_o far_o from_o think_v the_o incarnation_n a_o absurdity_n or_o a_o impossibility_n that_o we_o may_v be_v satisfy_v that_o great_a good_a and_o wise_a man_n have_v believe_v and_o think_v otherwise_o and_o that_o too_o upon_o such_o their_o own_o experience_n to_o which_o they_o who_o deny_v a_o incarnation_n neither_o

be_v a_o much_o better_a judge_n in_o the_o case_n than_o we_o can_v pretend_v to_o be_v do_v not_o only_o acknowledge_v the_o possibility_n but_o the_o reality_n of_o a_o incarnation_n too_o it_o may_v so_o much_o the_o less_o become_v we_o to_o deny_v it_o and_o that_o too_o the_o rather_o because_o we_o may_v easy_o satisfy_v ourselves_o that_o he_o do_v so_o believe_v and_o therefore_o i_o

therefore_o thus_o in_o short_a take_v notice_n of_o what_o the_o scripture_n tell_v we_o concern_v the_o expiation_n of_o sin_n by_o the_o sussering_n of_o our_o saviour_n and_o have_v already_o make_v it_o out_o 1._o that_o no_o creature_n can_v by_o any_o mean_n expiate_v the_o sin_n of_o mankind_n and_o 2._o that_o our_o saviour_n be_v god_n incarnate_a or_o god_n and_o man_n unite_v in_o one_o person_n we_o do_v in_o pursuit_n of_o our_o main_a design_n lay_v it_o down_o in_o the_o 3._o three_o place_n that_o the_o way_n and_o method_n of_o man_n salvation_n as_o it_o be_v express_o and_o frequent_o lay_v down_o in_o the_o scripture_n which_o be_v by_o the_o suffering_n and_o death_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n manifest_v in_o the_o flesh_n be_v agreeable_a to_o right_a reason_n and_o exact_o congruous_a to_o the_o measure_n of_o truth_n and_o to_o the_o rule_n of_o justice_n and_o in_o order_n to_o our_o make_v this_o plain_a and_o clear_a we_o take_v notice_n 1._o that_o that_o law_n about_o the_o transgression_n of_o which_o and_o the_o release_n from_o the_o penalty_n of_o such_o transgression_n the_o gospel-forgiveness_n be_v only_o concern_v be_v give_v to_o man._n for_o the_o scripture_n give_v we_o no_o account_n of_o the_o forgiveness_n of_o the_o breach_n of_o any_o other_o law_n but_o only_o of_o that_o law_n which_o god_n have_v prescribe_v to_o mankind_n and_o therefore_o though_o in_o the_o scripture_n we_o have_v several_a broad_a hint_n of_o the_o fall_n of_o the_o angel_n and_o though_o our_o reason_n tell_v we_o that_o that_o which_o put_v they_o under_o the_o displeasure_n of_o god_n must_v needs_o be_v sin_n in_o the_o general_a yet_o we_o be_v therefore_o ignorant_a what_o their_o sin_n be_v because_o we_o be_v ignorant_a what_o that_o law_n be_v against_o which_o they_o sin_v 2._o we_o take_v notice_n that_o as_o that_o law_n about_o which_o alone_o the_o gospel-forgiveness_n be_v concern_v be_v the_o law_n give_v by_o god_n to_o man_n so_o the_o gospel_n take_v no_o other_o or_o far_a notice_n of_o the_o transgression_n of_o that_o law_n than_o as_o that_o law_n be_v break_v by_o man._n from_o whence_o we_o infer_v in_o the_o 3._o three_o place_n that_o that_o punishment_n which_o the_o law_n threaten_v against_o those_o who_o transgress_v it_o can_v only_o in_o justice_n belong_v to_o those_o to_o who_o the_o law_n be_v give_v and_o direct_v for_o they_o can_v never_o transgress_v a_o law_n who_o have_v no_o law_n assign_v they_o and_o they_o can_v never_o be_v just_o punish_v for_o the_o transgression_n of_o the_o law_n who_o can_v never_o transgress_v the_o law_n the_o law_n therefore_o about_o which_o alone_o a_o gospel-forgiveness_n be_v concern_v be_v the_o law_n give_v to_o man_n and_o transgress_v by_o man_n man_n alone_o can_v just_o suffer_v the_o penalty_n of_o such_o transgression_n from_o whence_o we_o infer_v in_o the_o 4._o four_o place_n that_o if_o any_o penalty_n can_v ever_o just_o expiate_v that_o gild_n which_o be_v contract_v by_o the_o breach_n of_o the_o law_n that_o penalty_n that_o must_v make_v such_o expiation_n must_v be_v a_o penalty_n lay_v upon_o man._n and_o therefore_o our_o common_a sense_n of_o justice_n will_v not_o allow_v we_o to_o think_v that_o either_o angel_n which_o be_v rank_v above_o mankind_n nor_o beast_n which_o be_v rank_v below_o they_o can_v by_o any_o suffering_n whatsoever_o expiate_v or_o atone_v for_o the_o breach_n of_o such_o law_n which_o be_v give_v by_o god_n to_o man_n do_v so_o far_o forth_o concern_v man_n alone_o and_o though_o we_o have_v before_o make_v it_o out_o that_o neither_o angel_n on_o the_o one_o hand_n nor_o brute_n beast_n on_o the_o other_o can_v expiate_v the_o sin_n of_o mankind_n as_o both_o the_o one_o and_o the_o other_o be_v creature_n yet_o what_o we_o now_o say_v be_v that_o they_o can_v do_v it_o as_o they_o be_v different_a creature_n for_o it_o seem_v necessary_a and_o that_o
that_o know_v that_o they_o all_o come_v from_o one_o single_a fountain_n that_o be_v from_o one_o single_a man_n and_o so_o that_o they_o be_v all_o but_o so_o many_o rivulet_n from_o that_o fountain_n and_o when_o moreover_o we_o be_v assure_v that_o our_o saviour_n be_v one_o of_o those_o rivulet_n for_o though_o our_o saviour_n be_v only_o to_o be_v make_v of_o the_o woman_n yet_o because_o the_o woman_n be_v make_v out_o of_o the_o man_n therefore_o our_o saviour_n do_v by_o the_o woman_n derive_v from_o the_o same_o one_o single_a person_n with_o the_o rest_n of_o mankind_n i_o say_v when_o we_o consider_v all_o this_o methinks_v it_o be_v no_o hard_a matter_n to_o conceive_v that_o god_n himself_o do_v in_o his_o word_n lie_v the_o groundwork_n of_o man_n redemption_n by_o a_o saviour_n if_o i_o may_v be_v allow_v so_o to_o word_n myself_o in_o that_o near_a and_o intimate_a relation_n which_o our_o saviour_n by_o become_a man_n have_v to_o all_o mankind_n beside_o and_o that_o the_o intimacy_n of_o such_o relation_n consist_v in_o this_o that_o the_o saviour_n and_o all_o mankind_n do_v derive_v from_o one_o single_a and_o common_a fountain_n and_o hence_o we_o be_v tell_v in_o one_o place_n that_o as_o by_o man_n come_v death_n there_o be_v the_o sin_n of_o adam_n and_o the_o wage_n of_o such_o sin_n by_o man_n come_v also_o the_o resurrection_n of_o the_o dead_a there_o be_v the_o redemption_n of_o our_o saviour_n and_o his_o purchase_n and_o more_o express_o still_o to_o our_o present_a purpose_n speak_v the_o same_o apostle_n in_o the_o same_o chapter_n the_o fifteen_o of_o the_o first_o to_o the_o corinthian_n for_o as_o in_o adam_n all_o die_v so_o in_o christ_n shall_v all_o be_v make_v alive_a and_o to_o the_o same_o purpose_n again_o in_o the_o five_o to_o the_o roman_n and_o the_o eighteen_o verse_n therefore_o as_o by_o the_o offence_n of_o one_o judgement_n come_v upon_o all_o man_n to_o condemnation_n even_o so_o by_o the_o righteousness_n of_o one_o the_o free-gift_n come_v upon_o all_o man_n unto_o justification_n of_o life_n in_o all_o which_o text_n and_o several_a other_o that_o may_v be_v name_v it_o be_v notorious_a that_o the_o redemption_n of_o mankind_n be_v so_o ascribe_v to_o the_o second_o adam_n the_o man_n christ_n jesus_n as_o the_o sin_n and_o death_n of_o mankind_n be_v ascribe_v to_o the_o first_o man_n adam_n and_o i_o do_v not_o at_o all_o question_n but_o that_o those_o hint_n which_o the_o scripture_n do_v frequent_o offer_v to_o we_o of_o our_o saviour_n take_v the_o humane_a nature_n in_o order_n to_o our_o redemption_n of_o his_o take_a part_n of_o the_o same_o flesh_n and_o blood_n with_o we_o of_o his_o be_v our_o brother_n and_o the_o like_a i_o say_v i_o do_v not_o at_o all_o question_n but_o that_o when_o serious_o consider_v they_o may_v mighty_o assist_v and_o facilitate_v both_o our_o conception_n and_o belief_n of_o the_o wisdom_n justice_n reasonableness_n and_o congruity_n of_o our_o saviour_n incarnation_n death_n resurrection_n in_o one_o word_n of_o that_o redemption_n which_o he_o by_o be_v make_v one_o with_o mankind_n by_o take_v their_o nature_n upon_o himself_o have_v purchase_v form_n they_o and_o may_v mighty_o conduce_v to_o the_o remove_n of_o those_o difficulty_n which_o the_o enemy_n of_o the_o cross_n of_o christ_n have_v throw_v as_o so_o many_o stumbling-block_n in_o the_o way_n of_o plain_a and_o honest_a christian_n 4._o the_o wisdom_n justice_n reasonableness_n and_o congruity_n of_o our_o saviour_n incarnation_n in_o order_n to_o his_o purchase_n of_o man_n redemption_n do_v yet_o far_o appear_v in_o that_o by_o become_a man_n he_o put_v himself_o into_o a_o capacity_n of_o suffer_a death_n that_o be_v of_o suffer_v that_o punishment_n which_o the_o law_n have_v denounce_v against_o those_o that_o shall_v transgress_v it_o for_o it_o be_v a_o gross_a mistake_n and_o do_v indeed_o bring_v a_o scandal_n upon_o god_n veracity_n to_o affirm_v that_o he_o threaten_v great_a vengeance_n in_o any_o law_n before_o the_o transgression_n of_o it_o than_o he_o will_v execute_v after_o the_o transgression_n that_o so_o he_o may_v the_o more_o effectual_o prevent_v such_o transgression_n for_o god_n never_o yet_o threaten_v any_o peremptory_a and_o unconditional_a punishment_n in_o any_o law_n which_o he_o have_v not_o or_o when_o the_o time_n come_v he_o will_v not_o as_o certain_o execute_v in_o the_o day_n thou_o eat_v thereof_o thou_o shall_v sure_o die_v say_v god_n the_o threaten_v we_o see_v be_v peremptory_a and_o the_o execution_n we_o find_v be_v so_o too_o and_o therefore_o all_o sinner_n die_v and_o i_o can_v in_o the_o least_o doubt_n but_o that_o for_o the_o same_o reason_n a_o eternal_a punishment_n will_v be_v the_o certain_a vengeance_n upon_o a_o final_a impenitence_n but_o that_o be_v not_o so_o direct_v to_o my_o present_a purpose_n and_o therefore_o here_o i_o pass_v it_o by_o but_o to_o confirm_v what_o i_o be_o now_o upon_o i_o say_v that_o god_n do_v not_o pardon_v the_o death_n threaten_v in_o his_o law_n against_o sin_n no_o not_o in_o consideration_n of_o the_o death_n of_o our_o saviour_n and_o therefore_o notwithstanding_o his_o death_n and_o that_o too_o in_o our_o stead_n we_o see_v that_o all_o man_n and_o even_o those_o who_o hope_v for_o salvation_n by_o such_o his_o death_n do_v yet_o die_v what_o therefore_o our_o saviour_n in_o this_o case_n have_v puchase_v for_o we_o be_v not_o a_o freedom_n but_o a_o release_n from_o death_n and_o therefore_o that_o redemption_n from_o death_n which_o be_v the_o purchase_n of_o his_o blood_n be_v to_o be_v accomplish_v after_o we_o have_v be_v dead_a by_o a_o resurrection_n a_o resurrection_n than_o be_v to_o make_v good_a the_o purchase_n of_o his_o death_n and_o therefore_o his_o death_n purchase_v for_o we_o not_o a_o freedom_n but_o a_o release_n from_o our_o death_n by_o such_o resurrection_n now_o as_o his_o death_n be_v necessary_a for_o such_o a_o purchase_n so_o his_o incarnation_n be_v necessary_a in_o order_n to_o such_o his_o death_n and_o he_o be_v therefore_o make_v of_o the_o same_o blood_n with_o all_o mankind_n that_o by_o shed_v that_o blood_n for_o mankind_n he_o may_v after_o his_o own_o resurrection_n restore_v the_o life_n of_o all_o man_n which_o have_v be_v forfeit_v by_o adam_n transgression_n so_o that_o as_o his_o death_n be_v the_o meritorious_a expiation_n of_o sin_n and_o as_o a_o resurrection_n be_v the_o fruit_n and_o effect_n of_o such_o his_o expiation_n so_o his_o incarnation_n be_v a_o necessary_a forerunner_n of_o such_o his_o death_n and_o therefore_o before_o he_o can_v possible_o die_v for_o man_n and_o so_o purchase_v a_o redemption_n of_o man_n from_o death_n it_o be_v agreeable_a to_o the_o law_n of_o wisdom_n justice_n and_o reason_n that_o he_o shall_v become_v man_n himself_o but_o then_o how_o his_o death_n come_v to_o be_v of_o so_o valuable_a a_o price_n as_o to_o make_v so_o glorious_a a_o purchase_n we_o must_v leave_v to_o far_a enquiry_n for_o by_o that_o it_o will_v appear_v that_o as_o it_o be_v necessary_a that_o he_o shall_v die_v the_o death_n of_o a_o man_n so_o it_o be_v necessary_a that_o such_o his_o humanity_n shall_v be_v unite_v to_o the_o divinity_n and_o by_o both_o it_o will_v appear_v that_o god_n be_v manifest_v in_o the_o flesh_n to_o destroy_v the_o work_n of_o the_o devil_n and_o that_o therefore_o when_o the_o scripture_n tell_v we_o so_o much_o they_o tell_v we_o no_o more_o than_o what_o be_v agreeable_a to_o wisdom_n justice_n and_o reason_n chap._n vi_o the_o divinity_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n necessary_a for_o the_o expitation_n of_o man_n sin_n as_o well_o as_o his_o humanity_n some_o doctrinal_a inference_n a_o general_a proof_n that_o as_o our_o saviour_n do_v actual_o die_v so_o that_o he_o may_v just_o die_v for_o the_o expiation_n of_o sin_n have_v therefore_o see_v that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n be_v qualify_v by_o his_o incarnation_n to_o make_v a_o expiation_n for_o sin_n by_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o himself_o and_o that_o such_o his_o qualification_n be_v agreeable_a to_o the_o law_n of_o justice_n and_o to_o the_o rule_n of_o reason_n and_o wisdom_n our_o next_o enquiry_n must_v be_v how_o such_o his_o sacrifice_n come_v to_o be_v of_o such_o a_o value_n as_o to_o be_v just_o sufficient_a to_o make_v good_a such_o a_o expiation_n for_o because_o the_o death_n of_o a_o innocent_a man_n if_o he_o be_v no_o more_o than_o a_o mere_a man_n be_v but_o the_o death_n of_o a_o creature_n and_o because_o no_o creature_n can_v by_o its_o punishment_n in_o another_o creature_n be_v stead_n expiate_v the_o sin_n of_o that_o other_o creature_n for_o if_o it_o can_v than_o a_o creature_n may_v by_o its_o own_o punishment_n
because_o in_o the_o case_n so_o put_v he_o can_v have_v no_o concern_v with_o justice_n but_o what_o be_v his_o own_o and_o because_o he_o himself_o have_v pay_v a_o exact_a obedience_n to_o the_o law_n and_o because_o life_n be_v the_o reward_n of_o such_o obedience_n as_o death_n be_v the_o wage_n of_o disobedience_n therefore_o if_o we_o do_v allow_v he_o to_o have_v unload_v himself_o of_o the_o sin_n of_o man_n which_o he_o have_v take_v upon_o himself_o by_o his_o death_n we_o must_v and_o do_v by_o so_o do_v reinstate_v he_o in_o his_o own_o right_n that_o be_v we_o must_v allow_v that_o he_o have_v a_o right_a to_o be_v and_o therefore_o in_o justice_n ought_v to_o be_v restore_v to_o life_n again_o and_o therefore_o it_o be_v not_o at_o all_o to_o be_v question_v but_o that_o our_o saviour_n have_v never_o die_v at_o all_o if_o he_o have_v never_o take_v upon_o himself_o the_o sin_n of_o other_o men._n but_o of_o this_o more_o by_o and_o by_o in_o the_o mean_a while_n these_o thing_n be_v lay_v down_o we_o proceed_v and_o 1._o observe_v in_o the_o first_o place_n that_o our_o saviour_n resurrection_n be_v almost_o constant_o by_o the_o scripture_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n ascribe_v to_o god_n the_o father_n and_o multitude_n of_o text_n may_v be_v quote_v for_o it_o as_o the_o second_o of_o the_o act_n ver_fw-la 24_o &_o 30._o the_o five_o chapter_n of_o the_o same_o ver_fw-la 26_o &_o 30._o the_o ten_o ver_fw-la 40._o the_o seventeen_o ver_fw-la 31._o the_o ten_o to_o the_o roman_n ver_fw-la 9_o the_o first_o to_o the_o corinthian_n chap._n 6._o ver_fw-la 14_o etc._n etc._n we_o know_v well_o enough_o that_o they_o who_o make_v it_o their_o business_n to_o degrade_v our_o saviour_n below_o his_o most_o exalt_a dignity_n and_o station_n do_v make_v use_n of_o these_o text_n for_o such_o their_o purpose_n but_o we_o know_v withal_o that_o there_o be_v other_o text_n though_o indeed_o not_o so_o many_o and_o some_o of_o they_o when_o compare_v with_o their_o context_n not_o so_o categorical_a which_o yet_o ascribe_v his_o resurrection_n to_o himself_o such_o be_v that_o in_o the_o second_o chapter_n of_o st._n john_n v._o 19_o destroy_v this_o temple_n and_o in_o three_o day_n i_o will_v raise_v it_o up_o and_o so_o again_o in_o the_o ten_o of_o st._n john_n v._o 18._o no_o man_n take_v it_o from_o i_o but_o i_o lay_v it_o down_o of_o myself_o i_o have_v power_n to_o lay_v it_o down_o and_o i_o have_v power_n to_o take_v it_o again_o now_o as_o we_o make_v it_o out_o just_a now_o that_o after_o the_o expiation_n finish_v he_o have_v a_o right_a to_o rise_v from_o the_o dead_a so_o we_o do_v not_o at_o all_o question_n but_o that_o he_o have_v a_o power_n to_o raise_v himself_o too_o but_o though_o it_o shall_v be_v allow_v as_o we_o do_v not_o at_o all_o question_n and_o that_o too_o from_o several_a thing_n already_o lay_v down_o and_o make_v good_a but_o that_o it_o may_v be_v prove_v but_o i_o say_v though_o it_o shall_v be_v allow_v that_o he_o have_v both_o a_o right_n and_o a_o power_n to_o raise_v himself_o from_o the_o dead_a yet_o notwithstanding_o that_o it_o be_v not_o altogether_o so_o congruous_a or_o agreeable_a to_o the_o equitable_a proceed_n of_o justice_n that_o he_o shall_v exercise_v such_o his_o power_n or_o put_v himself_o into_o the_o possession_n of_o such_o his_o right_n in_o the_o present_a case_n for_o because_o he_o have_v submit_v to_o offer_v his_o life_n a_o expiatory_a sacrifice_n to_o the_o divine_a justice_n for_o the_o sin_n of_o man_n he_o have_v by_o such_o his_o submission_n so_o far_o resign_v such_o his_o right_n and_o power_n into_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n as_o that_o both_o by_o the_o law_n of_o reason_n and_o justice_n as_o well_o as_o by_o the_o rule_n of_o decency_n and_o congruity_n god_n be_v now_o become_v the_o sole_a judge_n of_o the_o validity_n of_o such_o his_o sacrifice_n for_o the_o accomplishment_n of_o the_o design_a expiation_n and_o if_o god_n be_v the_o sole_a judge_n of_o the_o validity_n of_o his_o sacrifice_n he_o have_v by_o the_o same_o mean_v the_o rightful_a and_o i_o may_v add_v the_o sole_a power_n of_o declare_v such_o validity_n and_o because_o the_o resurrection_n of_o our_o saviour_n from_o the_o dead_a be_v in_o effect_n such_o a_o declaration_n therefore_o we_o may_v now_o be_v satisfy_v why_o the_o holy_a ghost_n do_v so_o very_o frequent_o and_o in_o a_o manner_n constant_o ascribe_v the_o resurrection_n of_o our_o saviour_n in_o the_o scripture_n to_o god_n alone_o to_o which_o we_o may_v add_v that_o the_o highpriest_n under_o the_o law_n who_o in_o this_o very_a case_n be_v a_o type_n of_o our_o saviour_n be_v oblige_v once_o a_o year_n to_o enter_v into_o the_o holy_a of_o holies_n but_o as_o the_o author_n to_o the_o hebrew_n word_n it_o not_o without_o blood_n which_o he_o offer_v for_o himself_o and_o for_o the_o error_n of_o the_o people_n in_o which_o case_n it_o must_v be_v confess_v that_o the_o offering_n of_o the_o blood_n to_o god_n be_v in_o order_n to_o his_o acceptance_n and_o that_o god_n acceptance_n of_o the_o blood_n that_o be_v of_o the_o life_n of_o the_o sacrifice_n be_v the_o ratification_n of_o that_o expiation_n that_o be_v make_v by_o such_o sacrifice_n and_o in_o deed_n and_o truth_n our_o saviour_n in_o the_o business_n now_o before_o we_o be_v both_o the_o priest_n and_o the_o sacrifice_n to_o god_n for_o the_o sin_n of_o man_n and_o his_o resurrection_n be_v the_o first_o testimony_n or_o declaration_n of_o the_o acceptance_n of_o such_o his_o sacrifice_n we_o can_v in_o any_o congruity_n suppose_v that_o such_o testimony_n or_o declaration_n shall_v be_v ascribe_v to_o any_o other_o but_o to_o god_n alone_o and_o therefore_o as_o all_o those_o text_n which_o ascribe_v our_o saviour_n resurrection_n to_o god_n do_v in_o this_o case_n speak_v strict_o and_o proper_o so_o we_o may_v now_o by_o what_o have_v be_v say_v perceive_v that_o they_o be_v no_o prejudice_n to_o his_o divinity_n because_o he_o have_v oblige_v himself_o to_o offer_v that_o body_n to_o which_o his_o deity_n be_v unite_v a_o sacrifice_n for_o sin_n he_o have_v by_o the_o same_o act_n oblige_v himself_o to_o expect_v from_o god_n the_o approbation_n and_o allowance_n of_o such_o his_o sacrifice_n and_o therefore_o also_o to_o receive_v from_o he_o his_o resurrection_n which_o be_v a_o effectual_a declaration_n of_o such_o allowance_n and_o therefore_o 2._o i_o do_v offer_v it_o to_o consideration_n that_o the_o resurrection_n of_o our_o saviour_n from_o the_o dead_a be_v a_o undoubted_a argument_n that_o he_o have_v finish_v and_o complete_v that_o expiation_n which_o he_o have_v undertake_v to_o make_v by_o his_o death_n for_o the_o sin_n of_o men._n for_o as_o we_o be_v assure_v by_o the_o scripture_n that_o he_o be_v crucify_v dead_a and_o bury_v and_o so_o that_o he_o die_v the_o death_n of_o a_o criminal_a so_o we_o be_v assure_v by_o the_o same_o scripture_n that_o he_o do_v not_o die_v for_o his_o own_o crime_n for_o it_o be_v utter_o impossible_a and_o that_o too_o in_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o thing_n that_o he_o shall_v die_v for_o his_o own_o sin_n who_o yet_o do_v no_o sin_n neither_o be_v guile_n find_v in_o his_o mouth_n that_o be_v who_o have_v no_o sin_n of_o his_o own_o to_o die_v for_o now_o because_o we_o be_v teach_v by_o the_o scripture_n and_o as_o we_o have_v already_o make_v it_o out_o because_o our_o reason_n guide_v by_o they_o do_v fall_v in_o with_o they_o and_o so_o both_o do_v tell_v we_o that_o the_o wage_n of_o sin_n be_v death_n that_o be_v that_o there_o be_v a_o natural_a justice_n in_o the_o case_n that_o death_n shall_v be_v inflict_v as_o the_o punishment_n of_o sin_n and_o because_o we_o be_v assure_v by_o the_o same_o natural_a reason_n that_o it_o must_v needs_o be_v unjust_a to_o inflict_v the_o same_o punishment_n upon_o a_o innocent_a person_n which_o be_v the_o just_a punishment_n of_o a_o criminal_a i_o say_v for_o this_o reason_n we_o may_v be_v satisfy_v that_o our_o saviour_n though_o he_o be_v in_o himself_o a_o lamb_n without_o spot_n yet_o do_v die_v for_o some_o sin_n or_o other_o be_v those_o sin_n who_o they_o will_v at_o present_a and_o therefore_o because_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n have_v by_o his_o express_a word_n tell_v we_o that_o he_o die_v for_o our_o sin_n we_o may_v upon_o his_o testimony_n rest_v satisfy_v that_o so_o he_o do_v thus_o far_o therefore_o we_o have_v advance_v towards_o our_o present_a purpose_n and_o argument_n that_o death_n be_v what_o the_o law_n threaten_v for_o our_o sin_n and_o that_o we_o be_v sinner_n and_o so_o have_v incur_v the_o vengeance_n threaten_v
