sith the dearest Son of the eternal GOD, the Heir of heaven and earth, the Mediator of the great Covenant of endless salvation is his Advocate at the hand of His All-mighty Father in the most high and glorious Court of Heaven? Wherefore when an humbled soul, and trembling spirit is sore troubled, and almost turned back from his purpose of prayer, and prostration at the foot of heavenly Majesty, by entertaining before hand a feeling apprehension of his own abhorred vileness, and the holy purity of GODS all-seeing and searching eye, which cannot look on iniquity; let this consideration comfort and breed confidence, that JESUS CHRIST the Son of GODS love doth solicit and tender the suit, who out of His own sense and sympathy of such like troubles and temptations, doth deal for us with a true, a natural, and a sensible touch of compassionateness and mercy. Shall that blessed1 Saviour of ours call and cry for a pardon to His Father, for those which put Him to death; who were so far from seeking unto him, that they sought and sucked his blood; and shall He shut His ears against the groans of thy grieved spirit, and heavy sighs of thy bleeding soul, who values one drop of His blood at an higher price, than the worth of many worlds? It cannot be.
