Chapter 8: An Answer to W. Ps cavils against the Doctrine of Christs Satisfaction.
Modern spelling is a reading aid: the words are the author’s, only the spelling is modernized. Original shows the page as printed, with the transcription marks.
The fifth Consequence is as impious as unreasonable, when the Love and Compassion of the Father and the Son is alike; the one in sending, the other in coming to redeem lost Sinners.
The sixth Consequence is ridiculous, that Christs satisfaction should rob God of the gift of his Son for our Redemption; who seeth not (but some blind Moles) that our Doctrine doth ascribe God the greatest glory for this gift?
The seventh consequence is childish, and a shame that a man that pretendeth to any brains should mention it, That though Christ hath satisfied for us, the debt remaineth still to Christ, as if when one man dischargeth for another, the debt should still abide.
The eighth Consequence is so abominable, that it might make the Reader tremble and wonder, that a Worm, whom the Lord could easily crush, should open his mouth thus against the glorious ⟨p. 67⟩Jehovah, as to say, that it Gods justice be satisfied by Christ, then Man is no ways beholding, or the least Obliged to God; as if we were not beholding to God for giving his Son, for accepting this Satisfaction, for giving us a share therein; are not we beholding to God for all, though Christ hath purchased all?
