But that which he possessed from the beginning, he possessed only for himself, or at most, only in part for the holy angels that had remained faithful. Not the least glimmer of his glory could he bestow upon us, sinners, without trenching upon his honor and majesty. Divine justice, which necessarily condemned us, de- cidedly protested against every impartation of the kind ; likewise, his divine holiness, which blesses only those who are free from sin; and divine truth, which never employs empty... words, nor utters threats which it does not verify by the deed. Now, if the rich Lord of heaven was nevertheless desirous of bequeathing some part of Ins property to us, it was first of all ne- cessary that he should satisfy these exalted opponents of our fallen race, in a holy and divinely appointed way. And to tins he agreed, when he undertook to yield, in our stead, that obedience which we owed, and to endure, in his own person, the curse inflicted upon us. And both these he accomplished at the horrible moment in which we now find him ; and by his vicari- ous endurance of our misery, he builds a bridge for us, unhappy mortals, by which we are enabled to reach his own felicity.
