And it doth not belong to the satisfier as such, to see that the guilt be actually done away quoad eventum, or that the Damnation be actually escaped: but that a sufficient Sacrifice or satisfaction be given, on consideration whereof Remission and Salvation may be given on the terms as the Legislators and Redeemers Wisdom shall appoint.
