20. Howbeit, I
would not that the Son should rely on the mere prerogative of His
nature and the claims of peculiar rights of His Majesty. Let us
not call Him good, if He merit not the title; and if He merit not this
by works, by acts of lovingkindness, let Him waive the right He enjoys
by virtue of His nature, and be submitted to our judgment. He Who
is to judge us disdains not to be brought to judgment, that He may be
“justified in His saying, and clear when He is
judged.” Ps. li. 4 (Prayer-book).
