The Law is not satisfied, unless the thing be paid, or endured in the kind, which the Law doth require, although something be paid, or endured, which is equivalent to the damage made by the trespass; ⟨p. 93⟩As in case (the Law requiring an Eye for an Eye, and a Tooth for a Tooth) that a Jew did strike out his Brothers Tooth, and the Judg did order that his Eye should be put out for it; though the Eye be equivalent to a Tooth, yet the Law should not be satisfied with that Judgment: and in case that a man stole an Ox from another, five Oxen being to be restored by the Law, if the Judg had given the wronged person one Ox, every way as good as his own, yet the Law should not have been satisfied: So that an equivalent may be paid or endured, yet the Law not satisfied.

The Law is not satisfied, unless the thing be paid, or endured in the kind, which the Law doth require, although somthing be paid, or endured, which is equivalent to the dammage made by the trespass; ⟨p. 93⟩As in case (the Law requiring an Eye for an Eye, and a Tooth for a Tooth) that a Jew did strike out his Brothers Tooth, and the Judg did order that his Eye should be put out for it; though the Eye be equivalent to a Tooth, yet the Law should not be satisfied with that Judgment: and in case that a man stole an Ox from another, five Oxen being to be restored by the Law, if the Judg had given the wronged person one Ox, every way as good as his own, yet the Law should not have been satisfied: So that an equivalent may be paid or endured, yet the Law not satisfied.

The punishment which the Law (The day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt die the death) doth threaten, is death, and the Wrath of God, paena sensus, et paena damni. Now those that oppose the Truth in hand, say that Christ did not bear the Wrath of God, nor was forsaken by God, as to his Soul: And is an outward forsaking, being left to the malice of men, equivalent to the Wrath of God.
