divine_a worship_n which_o must_v have_v continue_v still_o in_o force_n so_o long_o as_o those_o shadow_n be_v not_o do_v away_o by_o the_o more_o perfect_a sacrifice_n of_o christ_n upon_o the_o cross_n second_o by_o this_o mean_v god_n give_v the_o world_n the_o strong_a assurance_n that_o it_o can_v possible_o receive_v of_o his_o veracity_n or_o of_o his_o fix_a and_o unalterable_a resolution_n to_o perform_v on_o his_o part_n the_o condition_n of_o that_o new_a covenant_n which_o he_o have_v enter_v into_o with_o mankind_n who_o sanction_n be_v found_v in_o the_o blood_n of_o his_o only_a son_n it_o be_v not_o only_o unreasonable_a but_o impious_a and_o high_o derogatory_n to_o the_o honour_n and_o majesty_n of_o god_n to_o suppose_v that_o the_o divinity_n itself_o shall_v condescend_v to_o appear_v in_o the_o form_n and_o likeness_n of_o a_o servant_n shall_v take_v our_o flesh_n and_o our_o nature_n upon_o he_o shall_v stoop_v to_o those_o mean_a indignity_n which_o be_v offer_v he_o by_o the_o vile_a of_o man_n and_o shall_v suffer_v such_o a_o shameful_a and_o ignominious_a death_n upon_o the_o cross_n by_o the_o hand_n of_o sinner_n and_o in_o the_o scandalous_a company_n of_o two_o notorious_a malefactor_n and_o all_o this_o to_o no_o purpose_n in_o the_o world_n three_o a_o three_o reason_n why_o this_o method_n be_v take_v seem_v to_o i_o to_o have_v be_v not_o only_o that_o by_o faith_n in_o a_o crucify_a god_n we_o may_v have_v sufficient_a assurance_n of_o the_o remission_n of_o sin_n but_o also_o that_o by_o his_o resurrection_n and_o ascension_n which_o be_v consequent_a upon_o that_o crucifixion_n we_o may_v have_v the_o most_o sensible_a demonstration_n that_o can_v be_v give_v we_o of_o the_o certainty_n of_o our_o own_o resurrection_n and_o of_o those_o eternal_a joy_n that_o expect_v we_o in_o heavenly_a place_n there_o be_v no_o way_n so_o proper_a to_o bring_v life_n and_o immortality_n to_o light_n as_o for_o he_o who_o first_o make_v so_o clear_a and_o perfect_a a_o discovery_n of_o they_o to_o rise_v himself_o from_o the_o dead_a and_o become_v the_o first-fruit_n of_o they_o that_o sleep_v and_o if_o to_o these_o three_o you_o will_v add_v likewise_o a_o four_o consideration_n it_o may_v be_v this_o that_o if_o god_n have_v bestow_v a_o gratuitous_a remission_n upon_o the_o world_n that_o be_v for_o i_o will_v not_o be_v mistake_v in_o the_o use_n of_o that_o word_n a_o remission_n without_o any_o satisfaction_n make_v for_o sin_n either_o by_o ourselves_o or_o our_o proxy_n it_o will_v have_v argue_v such_o a_o easiness_n in_o the_o divine_a nature_n in_o the_o opinion_n of_o many_o man_n that_o it_o will_v rather_o have_v prove_v a_o encouragement_n to_o continue_v in_o sin_n than_o a_o obligation_n as_o it_o ought_v to_o be_v in_o point_n of_o gratitude_n to_o great_a strictness_n and_o holiness_n of_o conversation_n as_o on_o the_o contrary_a if_o for_o this_o reason_n without_o shed_v of_o blood_n there_o can_v be_v no_o forgiveness_n it_o follow_v plain_o that_o nothing_o less_o than_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o god_n himself_o upon_o the_o cross_n will_v serve_v the_o turn_n because_o nothing_o short_a of_o this_o can_v possible_o be_v a_o complete_a expiation_n and_o atonement_n for_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o whole_a world_n but_o it_o will_v be_v so_o far_o from_o it_o that_o all_o the_o sacrifice_n that_o can_v be_v offer_v will_v fall_v infinite_o short_a of_o the_o value_n of_o this_o and_o god_n may_v as_o well_o pardon_v we_o without_o any_o atonement_n at_o all_o as_o by_o that_o which_o will_v be_v so_o infinite_o disproportionate_a to_o the_o guilt_n of_o the_o offend_a party_n further_o though_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o god_n can_v not_o possible_o give_v the_o world_n a_o more_o signal_n demonstration_n of_o his_o love_n than_o by_o send_v his_o only_a beget_v and_o his_o entire_o belove_a son_n to_o die_v for_o it_o for_o he_o that_o spare_v not_o his_o own_o son_n but_o deliver_v he_o up_o for_o we_o all_o how_o shall_v he_o not_o with_o he_o also_o free_o give_v we_o all_o thing_n rom._n 8._o 32_o yet_o this_o will_v but_o enhance_v and_o aggravate_v the_o condemnation_n of_o our_o disobedience_n if_o after_o so_o dear_a a_o purchase_n pay_v for_o our_o redemption_n we_o shall_v still_o notwithstanding_o
