“Blessed Spirit! impart to us more of ‘the mind that was in Christ Jesus!’ that the law of God may be increasingly precious in our eyes, and that we may be ‘exceedingly jealous for the Lord God of Hosts!’ Help us by thy gracious influence, to plead with sinners for God, and to plead for sinners with God!” (Page 87)

“Their hatred and resistance of sin are therefore now as instinctive, as was their former enmity and opposition to God.” (Page 11)
