6 Therefore God the Father, moved by his unspeakable mercy, would have that only Son of his, Coessential and Coeternal with him (as he had promised unto the Fathers, when Sin first entered into the world) at the time appointed, to become true man, who, as being true God and true man, without any confusion of the two natures, might reconcile men with God.

7 Of the justice of this Mediator, the which justice is laid against those things, that make us guilty of Gods wrath, there are three parts. The one is, the penalty sustained for the satisfaction of all our sins, which he discharged to the very uttermost farthing. The other is, the absolute fulfilling of the whole law of GOD, thereby covering our whole guiltiness, both that which we have by our original blemish, or by sinning sin, and also by the sins that are the most bitter fruits of that root. The third is, the repairing of our human nature, in that most perfect humanity, which Christ took upon him; whereby all our corruptions and stains are blotted out.
