1Propos. 5. Whatsoever may be said in an absolute sense about Gods Justice, yet since that threatening promulged (In the day thou eatest thereof, thou shalt die the death) God cannot in Justice, but punish sinners. Though it be in his freedom whether he will give thee a being, or no, yet if thou art an obstinate sinner, it is not in his freedom, whether he will damn thee or no; so that as God cannot but love that Image of his holiness where he seeth it, so he cannot but hate the contrary, wheresoever it is, though that hatred shall not always fall upon the person in whom it is, because removed by Christ.

It is Cameron's opinion, That the word Justitia, [Greek or Hebrew], when attributed to God, doth always signify Goodness, Salvation, Redemption, but never in the Scripture (saith he) doth it denote an affection in God, whereby he avengeth himself upon sinners; but that the words Ira and Judicium, Anger ⟨p. 99⟩and Judgement express this; But though the word signify so sometimes, yet in some places it must needs mean this disposition in God, Psal. 9.5
