1. That whatsoever is injurious, is injurious to some person or Society.
2. That the enumeration is sufficient in the present Case. None else can be imagined to be wronged but God, or the Redeemer, or the Sinner.
And, 1. That it is no wrong to God himself is past doubt, for God cannot and will not wrong himself.
Object. But it would be contrary to the goodness of his Nature, and so contrary to himself, and to Universal Righteousness.
Answ. Not so: There can nothing in Gods Nature be manifested which should necessitate or cause him certainly to save all that Christ Died for. Not his Justice, for that requires him to give every Man his Right. But I shall show you that this was never the Right of all that Christ Died for, nay, I have showed already that all of them are after Christs Dying for them actually obliged to punishment; so that punishment was then their Right. Not his truth: For he hath no where promised it.
