" That at length ' he humbled himself even to the death of the Cross , for us miserable sinners ; to the end that ah who , with hearty repentance and true faith , should come to him , might not perish , but have everlasting life : ' ' . ' That he ' is now at the right hand of God , making intercession for his people : ' " That ' being reconciled to God by the death of his Son , we may come
boldly unto the throne of Grace , to obtain mercy and find grace to help in rime of need : ' " That our Heavenly Father ' will surely give his Holy Spirit to them that ask him : ' " That ' the Spirit of God must dwell in us ; ' and that ' if any man
