Eph. 1. 7. In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins according to the riches of his grace. This place is an invincible argument for Christs satisfaction, redemption through Christs blood on our part, clearly importing satisfaction through Christs blood on Gods part, and therefore ⟨p. 63⟩this with other places, which W. P. mentioneth against the truth, do prove to be for the truth, and cut the throat of his own tenets, who most childishly (God infatuating of him) bringeth arguments to the destruction of his own cause. His arguing that grace is not justice, because forgiveness is according to the riches of Gods grace is very weak, for though grace be not formally justice, yet grace and justice are very well consistent, as Rom. 3. 24. Being justified freely by his grace, &c. vers. 25. To declare his righteousness for the remission of sins, vers. 26. That he might be just, and the justifier of him that believeth. As God is just (in respect of Christ) he pardoneth them that believe, because of his satisfaction, though all be free grace in regard of us.
