Joh. 3. 16. God so loved the World, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, &c. This Scripture is nothing to W. P's purpose, but strongly against his error, because if we be saved only by faith in Christ, than it must need be in Christ, as a sacrifice for sin, as fulfilling the Law and bearing Gods wrath, and by ⟨p. 62⟩consequence, as making satisfaction: I grant that Gods love of benevolence, or electing love is not the effect of Christs satisfaction, from whence it was that he sent his Son into the World for our salvation, but his love of complacency is the effect of Christs satisfaction, Math. 3. 17. He is well pleased with us only in Christ.

Rom. 8. 31, 32. Carrieth the same argument, and therefore may have the same answer, neither is it any absurdity to say that God should be at the charges of his own satisfaction.
