Though now there be mercy more than enough for the greatest sinners; as the Apostle saith, 1 Tim. 1.14. yet there was not Justice more than enough exercised upon Christ for the demerit and guilt of sin.
The Death of Christ was—[Greek or Hebrew]—An Adequate Ransom for our souls and sins: And yet there is a Redundancy of merit, an Overflowing of merit in the Satisfaction of Christ, to Ransom a thousand worlds more to that, if need were. As sin is infinite, in regard of the Object; so Satisfaction is infinite, in respect of the Merit.

Hence Christs death is not only said to be A Satisfaction, but A Purchase; not only A Payment, but A Purchase.
