1 Pet. 5. 10. But the God of all grace that hath called us, &c. This hath the same consequence, as the other, and therefore needs no other answer.
1 Job. 4. 9. In this was manifested the love of God, &c. I have granted it is out of love that God sent his Son, but it doth no way follow, that therefore his Son did not make satisfaction to his justice; and therefore though W.
