Secondly, He is a debtor to Gods Justice to satisfy that: 1and hereby it is, that Christ gave himself a price for our sins, and reconciled God to us: for we were not in that condition, as to say with the servant in the Parable, Mat. 18. Have patience and I will pay thee all I owe. They have low and narrow thoughts of sin, which think any external or internal humiliation for sin, can be satisfactory to Gods Justice. Hence the godly do not (as the Antinomians charge them) put any such meritorious efficacy, and causality in them. They attribute not that to their tears, which belongs to Christs blood; they do not judge their crucifying sin to be equivalent with Christ crucified; they do not in practice that which some have done in opinion, say, they are the Messiah or Christ: and certainly if the Psalmist say, we cannot ransom our selves from the grave, much less can we from hell. ⟨p. 106⟩Now this debt of Gods Justice is in every sin, the least idle thought or word: we may say of every sin pardoned, here is the price of blood, even of Christs blood.
