52. The true Reason of the satisfactoriness of Christ's sufferings was that they were a most apt means for the demonstration of the Governing ⟨p. 41⟩Justice, Holiness, Wisdom and Mercy of God, by which God could attain the ends of the Law and Government, better than by executing the Law on the world in its destruction, (as in general was before intimated.)
53. The measure of the satisfaction made by Christ was, that it was a full salvo to Gods Justice, and demonstration of it, that he might give Pardon and Life to Sinners, upon the new terms of the Covenant of Grace, and give what he after gave.

This was the Righteousness of Christ for man, and hence arose his Merit for us.
