What wilful perversity of intention so hard and so malignant which the Divine Paraclete, the Heavenly Ambassador of mercy and love, is unable to disarm, subdue, and animate to new and joyful obedience? Could anything set bounds to His liberty of action it would be our guiltiness rendering it unjust to show favour any more to such undeservers. But in the Cross of Christ there is all fulness of atonement; and, as the Lord Jesus, by virtue of His blood, imparts His Holy Spirit freely to whomsoever He will, so the Holy Spirit freely by faith interests whom He will in the merits of Christ; and, thenceforth, if it so please Him, in righteousness lavisheth upon him the whole riches of His grace, though he were the very chief of sinners.
