Thus it became our High Priest to justify his Redeemed! The great Apostle cannot pass it by, without special notice; He is able to save to the uttermost, such as come to God through him; To the uttermost of what? To the uttermost Obligation of the Law, preceptive as well as penal; to bring in perfect Righteousness as well as perfect Innocence: To the uttermost demand of divine Justice; perfect Conformity to divine Will, as well as perfect Satisfaction to divine Justice: 1To the uttermost Indigency and necessity of the lost Creature; Qualification as well as Absolution: To the uttermost of our High Priest's perfection, in whom dwelt all the fullness of the Godhead bodily.

- 1Perfection as well as Pardon.
Oh, for such an one to have saved a cheap way, to drive the ⟨p. 160⟩Purchase to as low a price as might be, by pardoning their sin, and making reparation to divine Justice; to satisfy for the wrong, which man had done to the Creator, and his Law; This, only, (with Reverence may we speak it) had not become so August a Redeemer as the Son of God was. But, to set him upon his Legs again, to make him as good a man as he was in his Created perfection (one way, or other) such as all the Attributes of God should acquiesce in, to put him into a capacity of demanding Eternal life, not by gift only, but by merit (through a Redeemer) yet so still, as it is the Redeemers merit, not Mans; not that Christ hath merited, that we might merit (as the Papists would vainly varnish that proud doctrine of merit): no; all was done by Him, and is Ours only by Imputation.
