(3) [centered]

2 All men are on trial now – respite given
Salvation is freely – and cordially – offered
on fair & well understood conditions

III How comes it to hap [happens] that men
are thus so favorably placed, &
put in possession of means to secure
their deliverance from sin & its ills?

Ans. [Answer] By the pure love & kindness – the
mere grace & goodness of God.

A broken law brings down pen sure
& unerring unless God – the law given in-
-terfere. ~

Offenders can do
nothing toward atoning for broken law.
Law & good from nat. [nature] of things allow
of no aton [atonement] by – those who had transg^ed [transgressed].

For full & perf. [perfect] obed. [obedience] is required – &
future keeping law can only answer for itself.
No extra suffering – can atone – for – none.
