many_o divine_v say_v that_o god_n do_v not_o take_v away_o his_o image_n but_o man_n thrust_v it_o away_o so_o capell_n of_o temptation_n pag._n 8._o etc._n etc._n though_o most_o judge_v otherwise_o because_o the_o same_o power_n must_v annihilate_v that_o must_v create_v i_o conclude_v then_o that_o in_o regard_n of_o the_o proper_a penalty_n christ_n do_v suffer_v a_o pain_n and_o misery_n of_o the_o same_o sort_n and_o of_o equal_a weight_n with_o that_o threaten_a but_o yet_o because_o it_o be_v not_o in_o all_o respect_v the_o same_o it_o be_v rather_o satisfaction_n than_o the_o payment_n of_o the_o proper_a debt_n be_v such_o a_o payment_n as_o god_n may_v have_v choose_v to_o accept_v the_o 2._o question_n be_v whether_o the_o threaten_a be_v execute_v or_o relax_v and_o dispense_v with_o answ._n the_o answer_n to_o this_o be_v plain_a in_o the_o answer_n to_o the_o former_a in_o regard_n of_o the_o mere_a weight_n of_o punishment_n consider_v as_o abstract_v from_o person_n &_o duration_n it_o be_v execute_v &_o not_o relax_v yet_o take_v the_o threaten_a entire_o as_o it_o be_v give_v out_o and_o we_o must_v say_v it_o be_v dispense_v with_o for_o mankind_n do_v not_o suffer_v all_o that_o be_v there_o threaten_a yet_o some_o who_o think_v that_o the_o death_n threaten_v do_v consist_v in_o out_o present_a misery_n and_o temporal_a death_n only_o do_v also_o think_v that_o the_o threaten_a be_v full_o execute_v upon_o the_o sinner_n and_o that_o christ_n have_v only_o deliver_v we_o from_o the_o accidental_a duration_n of_o it_o but_o not_o prevent_v the_o execution_n if_o i_o can_v think_v that_o the_o threaten_v intend_v no_o punishment_n to_o the_o soul_n further_o after_o it_o be_v separate_v from_o the_o body_n than_o i_o shall_v think_v as_o they_o the_o 3._o question_n be_v how_o it_o can_v stand_v with_o the_o truth_n and_o justice_n of_o god_n to_o dispense_v with_o his_o threat_n concern_v his_o justice_n the_o question_n be_v not_o difficult_a &_o i_o shall_v say_v nothing_o to_o that_o all_o the_o question_n be_v how_o to_o reconcile_v this_o dispensation_n with_o god_n truth_n here_o you_o must_v distinguish_v 1._o betwixt_o the_o letter_n of_o the_o law_n and_o the_o sense_n 2._o between_o the_o law_n and_o the_o end_n of_o the_o law_n 3._o between_o a_o threat_n with_o exception_n either_o express_v or_o reserve_v and_o that_o which_o have_v no_o exception_n 4._o between_o a_o threaten_n which_o only_a express_v the_o desert_n of_o the_o sin_n and_o what_o punishment_n be_v due_a and_o so_o fall_v only_o under_o the_o will_n of_o precept_n and_o that_o which_o also_o intend_v the_o certain_a prediction_n of_o event_n and_o so_o fall_v under_o the_o will_n of_o purpose_n also_o and_o now_o i_o answer_v 1._o the_o end_n of_o the_o law_n be_v the_o law_n and_o that_o end_n be_v the_o manifestation_n of_o god_n justice_n and_o hatred_n of_o sin_n etc._n etc._n be_v fulfil_v and_o therefore_o the_o law_n be_v fulfil_v 2._o most_o think_v that_o the_o threaten_v have_v this_o reserve_a exception_n thou_o shall_v die_v i._n e._n by_o thyself_o or_o thy_o surety_n and_o though_o it_o be_v sinful_a in_o man_n to_o speak_v with_o mental_a reservation_n when_o he_o pretend_v to_o reveal_v his_o mind_n yet_o not_o in_o god_n because_o as_o he_o be_v subject_a to_o no_o law_n so_o he_o be_v not_o bind_v to_o reveal_v to_o we_o all_o his_o mind_n nor_o do_v he_o indeed_o pretend_v any_o such_o thing_n 3._o so_o that_o the_o sense_n of_o the_o law_n be_v fulfil_v 4._o but_o the_o special_a answer_n that_o i_o give_v be_v this_o when_o threaten_n be_v mere_o part_n of_o the_o law_n and_o not_o also_o prediction_n of_o event_n and_o discovery_n of_o god_n purpose_n thereabouts_o than_o they_o may_v be_v dispense_v with_o without_o any_o breach_n of_o truth_n for_o as_o when_o god_n say_v thou_o shall_v not_o eat_v of_o the_o tree_n etc._n etc._n the_o meaning_n be_v only_o it_o be_v thy_o duty_n not_o to_o eat_v and_o not_o that_o eventual_o he_o shall_v not_o eat_v so_o when_o he_o say_v thou_o shall_v die_v the_o death_n the_o meaning_n be_v death_n shall_v be_v the_o due_a reward_n of_o thy_o sin_n and_o so_o may_v be_v inflict_v for_o it_o at_o my_o pleasure_n and_o not_o that_o he_o shall_v certain_o suffer_v it_o in_o the_o event_n and_o i_o judge_v that_o except_o there_o be_v some_o note_n add_v whereby_o it_o be_v apparent_a that_o god_n intend_v also_o the_o prediction_n of_o event_n no_o mere_a threaten_v be_v to_o be_v understand_v otherwise_o but_o as_o it_o be_v a_o part_n of_o the_o law_n and_o so_o speak_v of_o the_o duenesse_n of_o punishment_n only_o as_o the_o precept_n speak_v of_o the_o duenesse_n of_o obey_v if_o this_o be_v grotius_n his_o

not_o to_o relax_v or_o reverse_v they_o that_o he_o will_v come_v in_o flame_a fire_n to_o render_v vengeance_n on_o they_o that_o know_v not_o god_n and_o obey_v not_o the_o gospel_n of_o our_o

that_o god_n do_v not_o remit_v the_o penalty_n of_o the_o first_o covenant_n whole_o but_o will_v have_v his_o justice_n satisfy_v though_o by_o the_o suffering_n of_o his_o son_n christ_n and_o yet_o that_o it_o also_o cost_v the_o offender_n so_o dear_a themselves_o the_o 5._o question_n be_v may_v we_o not_o fear_v lest_o god_n may_v dispense_v with_o his_o promise_n as_o well_o as_o his_o

law_n be_v relaxable_a whether_o god_n may_v not_o have_v free_o remit_v the_o offence_n and_o have_v spare_v his_o son_n his_o satisfactory_a suffering_n i_o answer_v 1._o it_o yet_o remain_v under_o

they_o off_o which_o make_v their_o unbelief_n not_o to_o be_v final_a and_o damn_v many_o a_o man_n that_o live_v not_o half_a so_o long_o in_o rebellion_n do_v yet_o prove_v a_o final_a condemn_a rebel_n so_o that_o they_o do_v deserve_v that_o god_n in_o the_o time_n of_o their_o infidelity_n shall_v have_v cut_v off_o their_o life_n and_o so_o have_v let_v their_o infidelity_n be_v their_o

of_o the_o purchaser_n be_v they_o whole_o commit_v and_o partly_o by_o prevail_v with_o they_o to_o come_v in_o to_o he_o by_o the_o efficacy_n of_o his_o word_n and_o spirit_n so_o that_o consider_v they_o as_o unbeliever_n who_o be_v to_o be_v convert_v and_o so_o they_o be_v neither_o the_o proper_a subject_n of_o the_o promise_n of_o the_o new_a covenant_n nor_o of_o the_o threaten_a and_o condemnation_n of_o it_o promise_v they_o have_v none_o but_o conditional_a such_o as_o they_o have_v not_o receive_v and_o so_o be_v never_o the_o better_a for_o and_o so_o they_o be_v without_o the_o covenant_n and_o without_o hope_n and_o without_o god_n and_o stranger_n to_o all_o the_o privilege_n of_o the_o saint_n but_o yet_o not_o those_o to_o who_o the_o law_n or_o covenant_n say_v

of_o that_o but_o i_o perceive_v you_o think_v it_o a_o strange_a say_n that_o a_o man_n by_o the_o great_a gross_a actual_a sin_n may_v not_o be_v say_v to_o violate_v this_o covenant_n so_o as_o to_o incur_v its_o curse_n but_o only_o for_o final_a unbelief_n do_v not_o the_o godly_a sometime_o break_v covenant_n with_o christ_n answ._n i_o have_v two_o thing_n to_o say_v to_o the_o help_a of_o your_o right_a understanding_n in_o this_o viz._n a_o twofold_a distinction_n to_o mind_n you_o of_o which_o you_o seem_v to_o forget_v 1._o either_o the_o gross_a sin_n which_o you_o speak_v of_o be_v such_o as_o may_v stand_v with_o sincerity_n of_o heart_n or_o such_o as_o can_v if_o they_o be_v sin_n of_o real_o godly_a man_n then_o certain_o they_o violate_v not_o the_o covenant_n so_o as_o to_o make_v they_o the_o subject_n of_o its_o curse_n for_o the_o covenant_n say_v not_o he_o that_o sin_v shall_v be_v damn_v nor_o he_o that_o commit_v this_o or_o that_o great_a sin_n

for_o these_o thing_n sake_n come_v the_o wrath_n of_o god_n upon_o the_o child_n of_o disobedience_n answ._n i_o pray_v you_o remember_v that_o i_o have_v already_o prove_v that_o faith_n be_v the_o
