1. From the proceedings of God: God is a righteous God, it is impossible that he should vary one hairs breadth from the rule of righteousness: Th• Judge of all the world will do right, gen. 18.25. and his proceedings are such as do justify the casting off of sinful man: the constitution of the law does give in evidence of it: if the law had been unjust, i• had been an unrighteous thing to make it as well as execute it: and indeed God has not only made it, but executed it: he has executed it upon the angels that sinned: he has cast them down to hell, 1 Pet. 2.2, 4. and he does execute it upon multitudes of men in all ages, multitudes perish according to this law: yea he has executed the law upon his Son Christ Jesus: Christ has bore the curse for us, gal. 3.13. and had it not been just God would not have inflicted it, had it not been just, Christ would not have subjected himself unto it.
