The harmony of the divine attributes in the contrivance and accomplishment of man's redemption…

He was King of Righteousness and Peace, He Governed his Subjects in Righteousness, and never stained those hands with humane Blood that were employed in the Sacred office of the Priesthood. And by those Glorious Titles are signified the benefits our Saviour conveys to his People. He is the true King of Righteousness: By which is not intended the Righteousness that justifies before God, in which respect he is called the Lord our Righteousness, and is said, to have brought in Eternal Righteousness, for that respects his Priestly office: in that quality he acquired it. But that Title signifies his giving most Righteous Laws for the Government of the Church, and his dispensing ⟨p. 498⟩Righteous Rewards and Punishments, Eternal Life and Death, by which he preserves the Majesty of his Laws, and secures the obedience of his Subjects. And he is King of Peace, by which we are not to understand his temper and disposition, nor our peace with God, for reconciliation is grounded on his Sacrifice; nor peace with Conscience the effect of the other, but that which depends on his Royalty. As the King of Peace he keeps his Subjects in a calm and quiet Obedience; all their Thoughts and Passions are regulated by his Will. The Laws of secular Kings are only exposed to the eyes, or proclaimed to the ears of their Subjects, but His are engraven in their hearts. By the inward and Almighty efficacy of his Spirit he inclines them to their Universal Duty; and will bring them to Eternal Peace in his Glorious Kingdom.
