The righteous have access to God, and boldness with him in the blood of Christ; So that they dare not only, first, tell him of their own wants, or secondly, of their wrongs from others, or third-of their integrity, and the uprightness of their hearts with him, and that he knows it is so, but fourthly (which argues the greatest height of holy boldness) they dare tell him of all the sins which they have committed against him, and dispute with him for mercy as their right upon the account of his own promise and covenant made with Christ in their behalf, while respecting and reflecting upon themselves they can justify God in condemning them for ever under wrath. Here is the right Gospel-Logic; These are the holy subtleties which the Spirit teacheth; These are none of the disputers of this world, whose wisdom (as the Apostle saith, ⟨p. 355⟩1 Cor. 1.20.) God hath made foolish and will destroy; but these are Divine Disputants indeed, or disputers for another world, whose wisdom is of God, and who are wise unto salvation. These righteous ones may dispute with him.
