The Glory of Christ the Saviour, through' whom it is that the Grace of God is thus Magnified […] Sinful Man! The Glory of the Divine Holiness in the Forgiveness of Sin through' the Blood of Christ, the Justice of God having received full Satisfaction thereby; So that God can be Just, and yet the Justifier of all them that Believe! The Glory of the Power also of Renewing Grace, whereby God is able to subdue all things to himself; and to ⟨p. 30⟩Soften, Sanctify, & Change thy Heart! And finally, the Glory of Gods Holy, Wise and Terrible Providence, and yet most tender to thee and merciful, […] whatever Methods it may use, and make them Effectual Means of thy Conversion and Salvation! Ah, If thy very Sin may bring thee unto Christ, and into the way of Divine Awakenings, Instruction & Conviction; how shouldest thou in thy very Chains, and on the Gibbet Sing aloud of Gods Righteousness.
