1It is a point of wondrous comfort, that now in CHRIST JESUS, God becoming man, we can in him break through the justice of God: For, as I said, when Conscience is awaked, there are other manner of conceits of God, then when it is sleepy, and drowsy. A sleepy Christian hath a sleight conceit of God, as if he as little thought of his sins, as he doth himself. Oh, but when Conscience is awaked, and when we are drawn from the pleasures of sin, and they from us, and Conscience hath nothing to do, but to look upon God, and upon the time to come, which is eternity; then if there be not somewhat for Conscience to oppose that is equal to ⟨p. 61⟩the justice of God; if there be not somewhat about us, to clothe us, and arm us, to pass through the justice; what will become of us? Therefore it is a fruitful consideration, that God was manifest in our flesh, and that to give satisfaction to God, that so Conscience might have full satisfaction.
1It is a point of wondrous comfort, that now in CHRIST JESUS, God becomming man, we can in him break through the justice of God: For, as I said, when Conscience is awaked, there are other manner of conceits of God, then when it is sleepie, and drowsie. A sleepie Christian hath a sleight conceit of God, as if he as little thought of his sinnes, as he doth himselfe. Oh, but when Conscience is awaked, and when we are drawne from the pleasures of sinne, and they from us, and Conscience hath nothing to doe, but to looke upon God, and upon the time to come, which is eternity; then if there be not somewhat for Conscience to oppose that is equall to ⟨p. 61⟩the justice of God; if there be not somewhat about us, to cloath us, and arme us, to passe thorow the justice; what will become of us? Therefore it is a fruitfull consideration, that God was manifest in our flesh, and that to give satisfaction to God, that so Conscience might have full satisfaction.
