6. There is a Congruency in repentance for sin,1 Though it be not expiatory or satisfactory; If we do regard the justice of God, or the mercy and grace of God. The justice of God:2 ⟨p. 160⟩For if he should pardon sinful, impenitent men, though they wallow in all mire and filth, that despise his grace and mercy, how could his justice bear it? Though therefore repentance doth not satisfy his justice, yet sins unrepented of cannot be pardoned without injustice; and therefore Christ did not undertake to satisfy the wrath of God in an absolute illimited manner, but in an ordered way, viz. in the way of faith and repentance.
