§. 8. Direct. 3. Know well your sin, and vileness, and desert, and the Justice and Holiness of God,1 and then you will see that if Christ reconcile you not, and Justify you not by his blood, and do not sanctify and help you by his Spirit, and make you sons of God, and intercede not for you, there is no access to God, nor standing in his sight.
