13. Hereby we shall give God the glory of his Justice, that he might damn us, if he did enter into strict judgement with us. In repentance we judge our selves, 1 Cor. 11. that is, we condemn our selves, acknowledge such sins to be committed by us, for which God might show no mercy, for which he might say, Depart ye cursed into everlasting fire; and by this means, God is highly honoured, and we debased. See this notably in David, Psal. 51.4. Against thee have I sinned, that thou mightest be justified, when thou speakest, and clear when thou judgest. By this expression, David doth acknowledge, that all the afflictions laid upon him for sin, were just, and therefore God was to be cleared howsoever. Thus in repentance a man comes to know himself, how low and vile he is, and that if he be saved from wrath and hell, it is merely from Gods good pleasure; and therefore repentance is a kind of a revenge upon a mans self, 2 Cor. 7.10. The Lord is set up in his greatness and sovereignty, we are made wholly prostrate.
