Again, an infinite justice revealed to us in our Saviour CHRIST, who hath borne in his own person for us the infinite wrath of God, & hath made satisfaction for us in his own blood. And in that one action of his suffering appeared both the infinite justice, and mercies of God, and therefore the image of God.
