whether_o they_o be_v guilty_a or_o no_o and_o if_o this_o may_v be_v just_a in_o man_n why_o not_o in_o god_n if_o any_o say_v that_o the_o parent_n be_v only_o punish_v in_o the_o child_n he_o speak_v that_o which_o be_v contradictory_n to_o the_o common_a sense_n of_o mankind_n for_o punishment_n do_v suppose_v sense_n or_o feel_n of_o it_o and_o in_o this_o b_o case_n the_o parent_n be_v

this_o be_v design_v by_o the_o law_n as_o a_o punishment_n to_o the_o parent_n and_o as_o to_o the_o child_n it_o be_v only_o a_o necessary_a consequent_a d_o of_o their_o punishment_n for_o

much_o more_o exemplary_a than_o if_o he_o be_v consider_v only_o as_o our_o adversary_n do_v as_o a_o mere_a man_n so_o that_o the_o dignity_n of_o his_o person_n under_o all_o his_o suffering_n

which_o will_v easy_o appear_v by_o these_o brief_a consideration_n 1._o that_o the_o apostle_n always_o speak_v of_o the_o offering_n of_o christ_n as_o a_o thing_n past_a and_o once_o do_v so_o as_o not_o to_o be_v do_v again_o which_o have_v be_v very_o improper_a if_o by_o the_o oblation_n of_o christ_n he_o have_v mean_v the_o continual_a appearance_n of_o christ_n in_o heaven_n for_o we_o

sacrifice_n which_o we_o have_v already_o at_o large_a prove_v he_o can_v not_o do_v in_o our_o adversary_n sense_n 3_o that_o the_o apostle_n speak_v of_o such_o a_o sacrifice_n for_o sin_n to_o which_o the_o sit_v at_o the_o right_a hand_n of_o god_n be_v consequent_a so_o that_o the_o oblation_n antecedent_n to_o it_o must_v be_v proper_o that_o sacrifice_n for_o sin_n which_o he_o offer_v to_o god_n and_o therefore_o the_o exercise_n of_o his_o power_n for_o expiation_n of_o sin_n which_o they_o say_v be_v mean_v by_o sit_v at_o the_o right_a hand_n of_o god_n can_v be_v that_o 12._o

it_o have_v no_o immediate_a relation_n to_o the_o expiation_n of_o they_o i_o can_v understand_v 4._o the_o apostle_n speak_v of_o such_o a_o offer_n of_o christ_n once_o which_o if_o it_o have_v be_v repeat_v do_v imply_v that_o christ_n suffering_n must_v have_v be_v repeat_v too_o for_o than_o must_v he_o often_o have_v suffer_v since_o 26._o the_o foundation_n of_o the_o world_n but_o the_o repeat_v exercise_n of_o christ_n power_n in_o heaven_n do_v imply_v no_o necessity_n at_o all_o of_o christ_n frequent_a suffering_n nor_o his_o frequent_a entrance_n into_o heaven_n which_o may_v have_v be_v do_v without_o suffer_v therefore_o it_o must_v be_v mean_v of_o such_o a_o offer_v up_o himself_o d_o as_o be_v employ_v in_o his_o death_n and_o suffering_n 5._o he_o speak_v of_o the_o offer_v up_o of_o that_o body_n which_o god_n give_v he_o when_o he_o 10_o come_v into_o the_o world_n but_o our_o adversary_n deny_v that_o he_o carry_v the_o same_o body_n into_o heaven_n and_o therefore_o he_o must_v speak_v not_o of_o a_o offering_n of_o christ_n in_o heaven_n but_o what_o be_v perform_v here_o on_o earth_n but_o here_o our_o adversary_n have_v show_v we_o a_o

to_o the_o whole_a scope_n and_o design_n of_o the_o place_n for_o he_o speak_v of_o that_o world_n wherein_o sacrifice_n and_o burnt-offering_n be_v use_v and_o the_o levitical_a law_n be_v observe_v
