2. The Law is Norma judicii; that's past question. I speak of a Law in force, and as to the subjects to whom it is in force. And if so, then it can be no injustice to execute it. But I think few sober men will deny the Major, and therefore I leave that. And one would think none should doubt of the Minor: Whether it be any injustice in God, by his Law to oblige to punishment those that Christ Died for? But because the Antinomians deny it, let us prove it. If God do de facto oblige to punishment those for whom Christ Died, then it is no injustice so to do: But God doth so actually, Ergo, &c.
I hope if we prove that God doth it, none dare say it is unjust. If he be not Just he is not God. And that God doth it I prove thus.
1. Those that God Hateth, and are Children of Wrath, and without Hope, and without God in the World, and Strangers to the Covenant of Promises, and Aliens to the Common-Wealth of Israel, &c. are certainly obliged to punishment: But such many have been and still are, for whom Christ Died, Ergo &c. God hateth all the workers of Iniquity, and they are all by Nature Children of Wrath, &c. But many that Christ Died for, are before Regeneration workers of Iniquity, Ergo, &c.
