The Justice of God hath nothing to lay to the Charge of God's Elect, because it is Christ that died; he whose Death hath an infinite Worth and Satisfaction in it: this is the Apostle's very Argument; If God's Justice is satisfied, and his Wrath appeased in Christ's Death; if our blessed Jonah's being thrown into the Sea of Divine Wrath, hath made so sweet a Calm, that God declares in him, i. e. in his Son, he is well-pleased, and that Fury is not in him now no more for ever towards Believers; who can or shall 1then condemn them?
