All is paid for both US and Grace. 1We are bought with a price. He has obtained eternal Redemption for us: yea, and as we are made his, and Heaven made ours thus; so this River of Grace has been also obtained by him for us. Wherefore all comes to us in a way of Justice and Righteousness. Hence we are said to obtain Faith through the righteousness 2of God; that is through the Justice of God, and of Jesus our Lord. Mark, here is the Justice of God, and the Justice of Jesus our Lord: and we have our Faith from the Justice of God, because of the righteousness of Jesus our Lord. That is, Jesus answered with Works of Justice the demands of Justice: and therefore ⟨p. 63⟩in a way of Justice, Grace reigns and comes to us like a River, as if signified for that it is said to come to us out of the Throne.
