the_o only_a saviour_n of_o mankind_n which_o wisdom_n be_v so_o transcendent_a do_v evidence_n both_o the_o contrivement_n thereof_o in_o man_n salvation_n and_o the_o discovery_n thereof_o in_o

the_o word_n to_o be_v the_o word_n of_o god_n to_o clear_v this_o argument_n i_o shall_v show_v 1._o that_o the_o way_n of_o man_n salvation_n by_o jesus_n christ_n which_o the_o scripture_n reveal_v

do_v every_o thing_n that_o have_v a_o be_v be_v either_o god_n or_o a_o creature_n all_o the_o creature_n be_v finite_a in_o their_o being_n and_o action_n and_o therefore_o can_v not_o make_v a_o infinite_a satisfaction_n it_o be_v god_n only_o who_o be_v infinite_a and_o he_o be_v the_o party_n offend_v can_v not_o make_v satisfaction_n to_o his_o own_o justice_n especial_o since_o his_o justice_n require_v punishment_n for_o satisfaction_n which_o god_n as_o god_n be_v impassable_a be_v uncapable_a of_o not_o to_o say_v any_o thing_n that_o the_o same_o nature_n which_o do_v commit_v sin_n shall_v in_o justice_n suffer_v the_o punishment_n will_v not_o reason_v now_o conclude_v that_o it_o be_v impossible_a for_o this_o satisfaction_n to_o be_v make_v sure_o it_o be_v none_o but_o the_o wisdom_n of_o god_n that_o can_v contrive_v the_o way_n of_o satisfaction_n to_o his_o justice_n by_o the_o incarnation_n of_o his_o son_n by_o the_o union_n of_o the_o divine_a nature_n in_o the_o second_o person_n of_o the_o trinity_n unto_o the_o humane_a nature_n in_o the_o person_n of_o christ_n that_o so_o by_o virtue_n of_o the_o hypostatical_a union_n the_o humane_a nature_n may_v not_o only_o be_v strengthen_v to_o undergo_v the_o wrath_n of_o god_n which_o be_v due_a for_o the_o sin_n of_o man_n in_o the_o suffering_n which_o he_o endure_v before_o and_o upon_o the_o cross_n but_o also_o that_o through_o the_o communication_n of_o attribute_n the_o suffering_n of_o christ_n may_v be_v of_o infinite_a value_n because_o the_o suffering_n of_o such_o a_o person_n as_o be_v
