scripture_n teach_v we_o otherwise_o that_o the_o great_a end_n of_o god_n give_v his_o son_n and_o christ_n come_v and_o lay_v down_o his_o life_n be_v to_o purchase_v remission_n and_o salvation_n

not_o do_v it_o alone_o as_o god_n or_o alone_o as_o man_n that_o therefore_o he_o can_v not_o do_v it_o as_o god-man_n neither_o be_v it_o true_a as_o be_v obscure_o phrase_v it_o that_o where_o two_o middle_a position_n be_v inconsistent_a with_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o end_n for_o which_o they_o be_v bring_v their_o conjunction_n do_v rather_o augment_v than_o lessen_v the_o difficulty_n of_o their_o accomplishment_n for_o as_o the_o soul_n can_v see_v without_o the_o body_n for_o want_v of_o a_o organ_n nor_o the_o body_n can_v see_v without_o the_o soul_n for_o want_v of_o a_o visive_a faculty_n yet_o the_o man_n can_v see_v and_o so_o both_o soul_n and_o body_n can_v do_v that_o in_o conjunction_n which_o neither_o can_v do_v in_o separation_n therefore_o though_o god_n separately_z can_v satisfy_v from_o a_o better_a reason_n than_o any_o he_o bring_v because_o he_o can_v suffer_v and_o man_n separately_z can_v satisfy_v because_o the_o satisfaction_n will_v not_o
