12. Lastly, They shall in their just everlasting Damnation bring double Glory to Gods Justice, as Believers in their Salvation shall bring a double Glory to his Mercy. As in our Salvation God will not be honoured only as Creator and Rector according to the first Law; but also as Redeemer and Rector according to the New Law: So in the Damnation of Unbelievers, it is not only the Justice of God as Creator and Rector according to the first Law, but it is specially the supereminent Justice of Christ and God as Redeemer and Rector, according to the new Law, which will be everlastingly glorified on the rejectors of Grace. They will then fully acknowledge that Christ died for them and Redeemed them, and that in mercy; and that for the undervaluing and rejecting of that mercy, they do justly suffer: So that here will be a more glorious advantage for the demonstration of Gods Justice, than ever could have been according to the tenor of the first Law, and without Christs satisfaction for the Sinners. And I think if Christ attain his own and his Fathers Glory, he Dieth not in vain, and loseth not the fruits of his Blood-shed. He knows how to manage the business so as that he shall be no loser, let men prove as ungrateful and obstinate as they please. All these ends Christ actually obtains, for they are ends fully intended by himself. But then the very Salvation of all men, is finis prescriptus & propositus, propounded to man to be intended, and Christs satisfaction is made a sufficient ⟨p. 451⟩means thereto, in suo genere, and so this may be called the end of Gods Legislative will, though he attain it not (as is said before.)
