he_o love_v we_o and_o give_v himself_o a_o ransom_n for_o we_o second_o as_o it_o be_v the_o love_n of_o christ_n to_o give_v himself_o so_o it_o be_v the_o love_n of_o god_n that_o give_v christ_n

three_o as_o the_o love_n of_o god_n be_v the_o cause_n of_o this_o so_o the_o justice_n of_o god_n require_v that_o christ_n shall_v die_v for_o god_n have_v no_o purpose_n to_o redeem_v man_n and_o

to_o take_v our_o burden_n use_v 1_o and_o here_o when_o we_o consider_v the_o infinite_a wisdom_n of_o god_n devise_v so_o to_o fit_v a_o mean_n for_o the_o reconcile_n the_o mercy_n and_o justice_n of_o god_n in_o our_o salvation_n and_o redemption_n we_o have_v cause_n to_o cry_v out_o with_o the_o apostle_n oh_o the_o deepness_n and_o riches_n of_o the_o knowledge_n and_o wisdom_n of_o god_n how_o unsearchable_a be_v his_o judgement_n and_o his_o way_n past_o find_v out_o it_o be_v true_a i_o deny_v not_o the_o print_n and_o footstep_n of_o the_o way_n of_o god_n in_o the_o creation_n the_o heathen_n themselves_o discover_v by_o the_o dark_a and_o dim_a light_n of_o reason_n the_o heathen_a can_v discern_v it_o in_o the_o creation_n but_o for_o the_o print_n of_o his_o footstep_n in_o redemption_n man_n and_o angel_n can_v not_o conceive_v how_o infinite_a justice_n and_o infinite_a mercy_n shall_v come_v together_o how_o sinner_n shall_v die_v eternal_o and_o be_v save_v

the_o torment_n of_o the_o damn_a in_o hell_n as_o the_o torment_n of_o christ_n on_o the_o cross_n for_o sin_n sure_o those_o sin_n must_v needs_o be_v great_a that_o can_v not_o be_v expiate_v but_o at_o so_o dear_a a_o rate_n as_o the_o shed_n of_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n i_o come_v not_o to_o dispute_v here_o as_o the_o school_n nice_o and_o curious_o and_o unprofitable_o whether_o god_n

of_o god_n and_o to_o say_v this_o god_n can_v do_v as_o he_o say_v to_o the_o sea_n hither_o shall_v thou_o go_v and_o here_o thou_o shall_v stay_v thy_o proud_a wave_n shall_v go_v no_o further_o it_o be_v not_o for_o man_n to_o say_v so_o to_o god_n wisdom_n and_o power_n this_o god_n can_v do_v and_o he_o can_v do_v no_o more_o but_o let_v i_o tell_v you_o thus_o much_o that_o the_o son_n of_o god_n be_v more_o precious_a and_o dear_a in_o the_o eye_n of_o his_o father_n then_o to_o suffer_v he_o to_o die_v a_o curse_a death_n if_o the_o work_n of_o redemption_n can_v be_v so_o well_o and_o so_o convenient_o accomplish_v otherwise_o i_o can_v think_v but_o that_o the_o son_n of_o god_n be_v more_o precious_a in_o the_o eye_n of_o his_o father_n then_o to_o suffer_v he_o to_o

the_o satisfaction_n for_o man_n sin_n it_o be_v such_o a_o work_n as_o can_v not_o have_v be_v perform_v but_o by_o the_o finger_n of_o god_n man_n nor_o angel_n can_v not_o do_v it_o they_o may_v

they_o can_v not_o undergo_v the_o punishment_n of_o our_o sin_n which_o be_v infinite_a there_o be_v a_o infinite_a punishment_n due_a to_o our_o sin_n because_o we_o have_v offend_v infinite_a
