Full Idea
The three dogmas (1) that the nature of justice is arbitrary, (2) it is fixed, but not certain God will observe it, or (3) the justice we know is not that which God observes, destroy our confidence in the love of God.
Gist of Idea
If justice is arbitrary, or fixed but not observed, or not human justice, this undermines God
