1And then his wisdom, that he could reconcile Justice and Mercy, by joining two natures together, this plot was in heaven by God the Father, the Son, and the Holy-Ghost, the Trinity, that God and man should be joined together, to join and knit two Attributes, seeming contrary, Justice, and Mercy, to reconcile man, by reconciling Justice and Mercy, and by such an excellent way, that God should become man, Emanuel, this was a great wisdom to reconcile Justice and Mercy, by such a Person, as should satisfy Justice, and give way to Mercy, that is, by Christ. God will lose none of his Attributes, his Justice must be satisfied, that his Mercy might be manifested; the wisdom of God found out that way, it is a plot the Angels study in.
