Johannes Crellius, Hans Krell, Jan Crell 1590-1633, was a Polish-German philosopher, one of the chief theologians of Polish brethren and author of Ad librum Hugonis Grotii quem de satisfactione Christi... (1623), De Deo et eius attributis... (1630), De uno Deo Patre libri duo (1631).. From 1613 he worked at the Academy of Rakow, and he was rector of the academy 1616-1621.
But here Crellius (which is a bad omen, as they say) stumbles in the very threshold, supposing punishment to be competent to God as he hath, or is endowed with, an absolute and supreme dominion over the creatures.
But, again, the infliction of punishment belongs not to God as injured, as Crellius signifies, but as he is the ruler of all and the judge of sinners, to whom it belongs to preserve the good of the whole, and the dependence of his creatures on himself.
Crellius, then, grants that it is unworthy of God to let the sins of those pass unpunished for whom Christ hath not made satisfaction.
