It was fit the threatning should be executed; the Veracity of God seemed to require it; Man therefore shall die. But shall Man die without Hope? Is there no Room for Mercy? Blessed be God, our Case is not thus desperate. Our gracious God hath found a Ransom, not to deliver us from going down into the Pit, but to bring us up out of it. We die, because Adam sinned; but because Christ died, we shall rise again. Because of our own Sins, we deserve not only to die, but to be miserable for ever; Christ hath satisfied for our Sins, and by that Means, made way for our being entirely restored to the Presence and Love of our Maker.
