If Jesus be the Media or of the New covenant, Believers may go with boldness, and look the justice of God in the face; for your debt is satisfied. So long as a man is in debt, he steals by the prison door in the dark; but if his surety have paid the debt, he dares come (as you say) and whet his knife at the Counter-door. Christ your •urety hath paid the debt; you may go with boldness, and look justice in the face, the Devil, and all the Serjeants of Hell in the face. Mr. W.

He doth not forget us though he be exalted to his glory, for he is not like the poor silly creature that cannot bear exaltation without being puffed up, and forgeting both themselves, their friends, and their God. No, his exaltation is Spiritual and Heavenly, perfecting his humane nature to the greatest height it is capable of — he was never more tender of Ierusalem when he wept over it, or of his people when he wept, bled, and died for them; than he is now tender over his in glory. Mr. Baxters Treatise of Convers. p. 184.
