Therefore my brethren, in all our approaches to God, we should not doubt. It is the Apostles own argument, Heb. 10. 21. Having such an High Priest over the house of God, 22. Let us draw near with a true heart, in full assurance of faith. And ver. 23. Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering, &c. It is as if the Apostle had said, If men did know what a Christ they have, what a full righteousness there is in him, what he doth with it, how he justifies their persons, and justifies their services, pleads for them, beautifies them, ingratiates them with the Father, they would not doubt so much as they do, ⟨p. 267⟩they would be better persuaded of God, when they come and pray unto him.
