1. This Righteousness it self answered the Law in the utmost extent of it; so that it is wide enough and large enough to cover all Guilt. Christ bare the penalty to the full which the Law exacted; he bare the whole weight of that wrath which was due to man for Sin. His Righteousness therefore is able to hide the greatest and most multiplied transgressions out of sight: the Law can ask no more than there is in that, to answer God as a Judge, who is fully pleased with the Righteousness of Christ.
