And of his holiness,1 that he would be no otherwise satisfied for sin, it was so foul a thing, that to show his hatred of it, he punished it in his own Son, when he became our Surety. How holy and pure is God? that is, what a separation is there, in the nature of God from sin, considering that he so punished it in his Son, our Surety? that he made him cry out, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? We cannot see the nature of God in any thing in the world, so much as in Christ, in Christ we see, as in a glass, his infinity sweet Wisdom, his Justice, and Holiness, in hating and loathing of sin.
