Arise, O thou dejected soul, that art prostrate in the dust before God, and trembling under the terrors of his righteous sentence: for I am commissioned to tell thee, that though "thou hast destroyed thyself, in God is thine help," Hosea xiii. 9. I bring thee "good tidings of great joy," Luke ii. 10, which delight my own heart while I proclaim them, and will, I hope, reach and revive thine; even the tidings of salvation by the blood and righteousness of the Redeemer. And I give it thee, for thy greater security, in the words of a gracious and forgiving God, that "he is in Christ reconciling the world unto himself, and not imputing to them their trespasses," 2 Cor. v. 19.
Philip Doddridge — The Rise and Progress of Religion in the Soul (Philadelphia: Presbyterian Board of Publication, [1835?]), ch. VIII, "News of Salvation by Christ, Brought to the Convinced and Condemned Sinner," p. 82
