Who that is in any light of reason does not see in it inconsistencies which are contrary to the Divine Essence itself? as, that God, who is Love itself and Mercy itself, could out of anger and consequent vengefulness condemn men and devote them to hell? also that He should desire to be moved to compassion by the condemnation being laid upon His Son, and by beholding His passion on the cross and His blood?
