What will it avail our souls; what comfort will it bring unto us, what endearment will it put upon our hearts unto God, to know that he is infinitely Righteous, Just, and Holy, unchangeably true, and faithful, if we know not how he may preserve the glory of his Justice, and Faithfulness in his Comminations and threatenings, but only in our ruin and destruction? If we can from thence only say it is a Righteous thing with him to recompense tribulation unto us for our iniquities? What fruit of this consideration had Adam in the Garden?
