CHAP. XII.
Divine Justice concurs with Mercy in the work of our Redemption. The Reasons why we are Redeemed by the Satisfaction of Justice are specified: to declare Gods hatred of Sin, to vindicate the honour of the Law, to prevent the secure commission of Sin. These Ends are obtained in the Death of Christ. The reality of the Satisfaction made to Divine Justice considered. The requisites in order to it. The appointment of God, who in this transaction is to be considered not as a Judg, that is Minister of the Law, but as Governor. His right of Jurisdiction to relax the Law as to the execution of it. His Will declared to accept of the compensation made. The consent of our Redeemer was necessary. He must be perfectly Holy. He must be God and Man.
