1. By procuring a sufficient Pay-master; Christ, who hath satisfied Gods Justice to the full; answered all Bills, Bonds; paid ⟨p. 65⟩our debt to the utmost farthing. Hence, John 16.10. — I will send the Spirit, and he shall convince the World of Righteousness; because I go to my Father, and you shall see me no more; — That is; he shall convince the World, That Perfect Righteousness is wrought for them. That Gods Justice is completely satisfied. But how shall we know that? Because — I go to my Father, and you shall see me no more. — That is, you shall see me no more in this kind, you shall see me no more to come to suffer, or satisfy for sin; for I have done that already, I have completely satisfied Gods Justice for sin. And therefore you shall see me no more in this kind.

That Gods Justice is compleatly satisfied. But how shall wee know that? Because — I go to my Father, and you shall see mee no more. — That is, you shall see mee no more in this kind, you shall see mee no more to come to suffer, or satisfy for sin; for I have done that already, I have compleatly satisfied Gods Justice for sin.

Indeed, If Justice had not been completely satisfied: If there had been but one sin upon the file unsatisfied for, we should have seen him again. Heaven could not have held him. But now seeing he is gone, and we see him no more an humbled, a suffering-Saviour; this shows all is done.
