(3.) By him we are encouraged to come to pray for every Blessing we stand in need of; Ephes. 2.18. Through him we both have an access by one Spirit unto the Father. Liberty to approach unto God, is a privilege which we cannot enough value; the Wall of Partition between God and us, is broken down by Christ, he hath completely satisfied God's Justice, Heb. 10.19. He is now at the right Hand of God interceding for us: 1 Tim. 2.5. There is one God, and one Mediator between God and Man, the Man Christ Jesus; and remaineth with God as the great Agent of the Saints: Heb. 8.1, 2. We have such an High Priest, who is set on the right Hand of the Throne of the Majesty in the Heavens, a Minister of the Sanctuary, &c.

And the smoke of the Incense, which came with the prayers ⟨p. 361⟩of the Saints, ascended up before God out of the Angel's hand.
