Sect. 9. It would be too long to insist on the severals; take one instance in the business of Atonement, Reconciliation, and Acceptance with God. What strange horrible fruits and effects have mens contrivances on this account produced? What have they not invented? What have they not done? What have they not suffered? and yet continued in dread and bondage all their days? Now with what a Glorious soul appeasing Light doth the doctrine of satisfaction and Atonement, by the blood of Christ the son of God, come in upon such men? This first astonisheth, then ⟨p. 128⟩conquereth, then ravisheth, and satiateth the soul. This is that they looked for, this they were sick for, and knew it not. This is the design of the Apostles discourse in the 3 first Chapters of the Epistle to the Romans. Let any man read that discourse from v. 18. of chap. the first, and onward, and he will see with what Glory and Beauty, with what full and ample satisfaction this Doctrine breaks out. Chap. 3. v. 22, 23, 24, 25, 26.
