Indeed folution of the Debt, and fatisfallion flritily taken thus differ, thatfatisfatlion isfolutio tantidem, nel equivalentis alias indebiti. And if Chrift be Paid to have paid the very fameduty and punifhment which the Law required, he is denied to have fatisfied for our non-pay- ment : For a Lam that is fully performed can require no more, nor the Lamgiver neither : And therefore both satisfa lion and Pardon are fbut out. z 5o. It is not properly the Lawwhich is fatisfied, but the Law-giver as above Law as is laid : But yet improperly the Law may be Paid to be fatisfied in that the ends oftheLaw-giver in it areobtained. 151. Though I owe much thanks to God for what, near thirty years ago, I learned fromGrotius defatisfalJ. yet I mutt fay that in this great queüton, whether Chriftfatisfied God for Sin as Domino abfoluto, vet litparti lrefa, vel nt Rellori, which he aflerteth alone, I take him to come fhort of accuratenefs and foundnef; And that this is the truth. God is toman, a. Dominus abfolutus, that is, our Owner. 2. Ream' fupremus. 3. Amiens , Benefatior : vet Pater & finis. Sin is against God in all thefe three Relations : z. Asour Owner, it is a denyinghim and alienatinghisown quoad ufum. 2. As Relier, it breakethhis Law. 3. As our Lover andEnd, it is a departing from him. For I. As our Owner, we owehim total rfgnation and life asfuch. 2. As ourRuler, we owe him subjelion andObedience as fuch. 3. As our Friend (Bene ailor &Ama- bilimus) we owe him Gratitude and Love as fuch (whichyet is part of obedience too.) NowSin being the privation of all this, God is to be fatisfied for it as fuch, in all thefe three Relations ; And is pars lefa in all thefe three Relations, thatis, he is injured, though not hurt. It is true, that Government andpunifhing Juftice, formally as fuch, belong to God only as Reltor. And fatirfallion is made him eminently in thatRe- lation; yet allo tocompenfate the injury done by fin tohim in the other two Relationsalfo. SECT. IX.
