2 That it is not in Christ as Mediator, is no less evident. He that makes Satisfaction, and he to whom it is made, he who Meriteth any thing, and he at whose hands he Meriteth it, must be distinguished. The second Person under the Notion of performing the work of Mediation, receiveth not Satisfaction.
The Power Christ receiveth of the Father, because he is the Son of Man, to give eternal Life to those given him of his Father, is of latter Consideration to that we have in hand, being a Result, and Consequence thereof.
3 It must therefore be in the Father, or God, as receiving Satisfaction.
Of all the Attributes of God where this may be placed (to speak after the manner of men) one of these Four must needs be the proper seat of it: 1 His Power. 2 His Will. 3 His Justice. 4 His Truth.
1, His Power, and then it must be, not that God hath any addition of Power, for that cannot be to him who is Omnipotent; but that a Way is made for the Exercise of his Power, which before by somewhat from himself was shut up.
