2. For a full Satisfaction given by this Man for harms done by another, may neither obtain the Love of the Person offended, nor the smallest Gift which the Person offending hath not deserved. Suppose I owe to this Man ten thousand Talents, and another should pay him every Farthing, there remaineth over and above, by that complete Satisfaction, not one single half-Penny for me. Christ hath therefore done more than to make satisfaction for sin by his Blood. He hath also made us Kings and Priests to God and his Father, and we shall reign with him for ever and ever, Revel. 1. 5, 6. Chap. 22. 5.
