Its true, Papists hold, that when God forgiveth sin in David, he forgiveth not the punishment;1 for David is punished with the sword on his house for that same sin; but it is known that this doctrine is a too-fall and Pillar to underprop the Chamber in Hell, which they call Purgatory; and that their meaning is, that punishment ⟨p. 33⟩inflicted on a justified person, is a punishment satisfactory to the justice of God; that so they may make the merits of the Saints suffering to ride up as a collateral sharer with the high & noble blood of the killed Lamb of God, who only satisfactorily, taketh away the sins of the world: This we disclaim: But on the other hand, we hold that there is another justice in God, then that legal, and sin-revenging justice, which Christs sufferings hath expiated and fully satisfied, both in regard of Gods acceptation, and of the intrinsical worth of the death of him, who was God the Prince of life: And this other justice, is also the justice of an offended Father correcting though in mercy (and so it is a mixed justice) the sins of the Saints as sins: 1. Because the sins of the Saints are not only the offending §1of divine revenging justice, but also a wrong done against this mixed justice, and against the mercy and kindness of God, 2 Sam. 12.7, 8, 9.
