Ans. No Man may teach God Knowledge, he knoweth best how to deliver his Mind in such words and terms as best agree with his Eternal Wisdom, and the Consciences of these that are truly desirous of Salvation, being over-burdened with the guilt of Sin. Perhaps the Word Satisfaction will hardly be found in the Bible; and where is it said in so many words, God is dissatisfied with our Sins? Yet 'tis sufficiently manifest, that there is nothing that God hateth but sin, and Sinners for the Sake of sin. What meant he by turning Adam out of Paradise, by drowning the Old World, by burning up Sodom with Fire and Brimstone from Heaven? What meant he by drowning of Pharaoh, by causing the Ground to swallow up Corah and his Company, and by his destroying Israel in the Wilderness, if not to ⟨p. 93⟩show that he was dissatisfied with Sin? That God is also satisfied, yea, more than satisfied by Christ's Sufferings for our Sins, is apparent: For granting that he died for them, as these Scriptures declare, Isa. 53. 1 Cor, 15. 1, 2, 3, 4. Gal. 1. 4. 1 Cor. 5. 8. 2 Cor. 5. 21. Gal. 3. 13. 1 Pet. 2. 24. Chap. 3. 18. 1 Joh. 2. 2. Chap. 3. 16. Chap. 4. 14. Revel. 1. 5. Chap. 5. 9. Isa. 49. 4, 5, 6.
