5. He saith, God had power so far to relax his own Law, as to have the name of a surety put into the Obligation, which before was not there; and then to require the whole debt of that surety.
5. He saith, God had power so farre to relax his owne Law, as to have the name of a surety put into the Obligation, which before was not there; and then to require the whole debt of that surety.
And what saith Grotius more then this? If the same thing in the Obligation be paid, then the Law is executed; and if executed (properly and fully) then not relaxed. Here he confesseth that the sureties name was not in the Obligation; and that God relaxed the Law to put it in. Now the main business that Grotius there drives at, is but to prove this relaxation of the Law, and the non-execution of it on the offenders threatened.

I Judge that Mr. Owen hath no better success in his next assault of Grotius, on that question, [whether God manage this work of relaxing the Law, punishing Christ for us, &c. as a Creditor, or as an absolute Master, or as a Judge under Laws, or as the supreme Rector? the last of which Grotius maintaineth? He that readeth Grotius and Vossius own words, doth need no further defensative against the force of Mr. Owens Answers.
