Fifthly, Christ dying for our Sins, was a full and complete Payment 1of all our Debts, which bound us over to Death and Condemnation; we owed ten thousand Talents, and Christ our Surety was charged with it, even with all we owed to Justice; and by his Death he paid the uttermost Farthing: Now the Principal and the Surety are legally and judicially one Person; so that in Christ we paid all, though it was God and not we that found out the Surety, and paid himself with his own Money; and therefore we are acquitted in a way of Sovereign Grace; we have it in a way of Mercy, though in a way of Righteousness also: That 2God might be Just, and the Justifier of him that believeth in Jesus.
