Angels and Men may see and adore the Perfection of his Justice, in that he will not pardon Sin without a compleat Satisfaction. God out of Christ, is a consuming Fire, a dreadful, unapproachable, Sin-avenging God: His unappeased Justice wou’d scorch and burn the guilty Sinner in the everlasting Wine-press of his Indignation. But now in Christ, ver. 26. he is a just God, and yet the justifier of a sinner that believes in Jesus. The Curse of the broken Covenant is fully executed, and Riches of Grace are open’d and exercis’d: The Sinner, by Faith in Christ, obtains a Pardon in the way of Justice, and sees the amiable meeting of Mercy and Truth; the blessed Exosculation of Righteousness and Peace; Justice and Grace in an equal Conspiracy to absolve and save him.
Zephaniah Marryat — Zephaniah Marryat, The Exalted Saviour: or, Jesus Christ the Lord and God of True Believers, in Several Sermons Delivered Lately in Gravel-Lane, Southwark (London: R. Cruttenden, 1719), p. 85
