on
the Excellency
of
Chri
1.
IIS
found out in
his
Son,
in
this
the wifdome of
God
is
more
glorious
than
in all
his works
infinitely,
the
glory
of Gods
avifdome
in other
things
is
darkned in
comparifòn
of
his
wifdome
in
this;
If
God
had put
it to
Angels
to
finde out
a
way
of Reconciliation , they could never
have
gnat
at
fuch
a
way
as
this is
;
that
wee
fhould bee reconciled in
Chria,
here
is
the
glory of
wifdome.
There
likewife
doth appear
the glory of
Gods
holinefs
The
Holinefc
more
in
Chrill than
in
anyother
way;
it
is
true, the
Law
is
of
God ap-
a
glafs
of
Gods holinefs , and
thole
that
call reproach up-
Pears in
Chrifi
on
the Law, they fpit in the very face
of Gods
holinefs;
I
but
that
is
no
fuch
gla+fs
as
Jefus Chrift
is
there
wee
fee
the
holinefs
of God in another manner
than
wee
can
do
it
in the
holy
Law
that
God
hath made.
God
never
Chewed
his
hatred of
fin
fo much
as
hee
did in
Chrifi,
and
it
can-
not
bee deviled
by all Angels
and men
how
it
were pof-
fible
to have
fuch
an Argument
to
manifeft the hatred
of
fin
fo
as
it
is
rnanifel}ed
in
Chril,
that
God
should
deal
fo
with
his
Son,
as
hee
hath
done for the
fin
of
man;
I
fay,
if
an infinite Wifdome
(
hould fet
it
felf
onwork
never
fo
much
to
finde
out
an
Argument
to
manifef+
the
hatred of
fin
,
there could
not bee
a
greater
Argument
:
So
that
when
God fent
his Son
into
the world
to
dye for mans fin,
hee did
as
it
were
fay,
I
have
many
wayes
to
manifefl
my
holinefs
to
the children
of men
,
how
infinitely
I
do
hate
fin,
but
here
is
a
way
that it (hail
appear
to
the
uttermoft,
they (hall
fee
it
in my
dealing
with
my Son
;
certainly
in
Chrift
Gods
wifdome bath found
out
an
Argument
to
make
us
all
to
bee
convinced
of the infinite
holinefs
of
God,
that
God
hates
fin
more than hell
its
felf ,
and
that
wee fhould do to
too.
Again, the
Justice
of God
appears in
Chriff, more than
in
any
thing
elfe
:
It
appears
not
fo
much in
all
the
tor-
The
Juftice
of
fnents
of the
damned,
as
in Gods
dealings with
Chr'ra
in
God
appears
that
hee
required
fuch
fatisfa,ion
from-him
as
hee did;
In
hri
fl,
when
as
wee
hear of
the
dreadful curies of
the
Law
,
and
of
the
torments that
are in
hell,
wee
may
thereby
be
put in
