He saves, unto the uttermost, all that come to him by faith; sinners then through faith have deliverance; he breaks the bars of iron, and speaks peace to the captive soul. Who is this that cometh from Edom, with dyed garments from Bozrah? That is glorious in his apparel, travelling in the greatness of his strength? I that speak in righteousness, mighty to save. Oh, sinner, burdened with the weight of this guilt, bowed down with the accumulated load of transgressions, look up unto Jesus, and behold the mighty Saviour: his laws are not like those of Draco, written in blood; but his law is a law of liberty. Are thy sins ever so enormous, be not cast down; satisfaction has been made; the price of redemption, even the price of Jesus has been laid down to obtain thy pardon.
David Rivers — David Rivers, The Gospel a Law of Liberty: A Sermon Preached at Highgate, Middlesex, on Sunday, the 17th of July, 1796 (London: R. Hindmarsh, 1797), p. 17
