“When God designed the great and glorious work of recovering fallen man and the 
saving of sinners, to the praise of the glory of His grace, He appointed, in His
infinite wisdom, two great means thereof.

The one was _the giving of His Son for them_, and the other was _the giving of His
Spirit unto them_. And hereby was way made for the manifestation of the glory of
the whole blessed Trinity, which is the utmost end of all the works of God.

Hereby were the love, grace, and wisdom of the Father, in the design and projection
of the whole; the love, grace, and condescension of the Son, in the execution, purchase,
and procurement of grace and salvation for sinners; with the love, grace, and power
of the Holy Spirit, in the effectual application of all unto the souls of men, —
made gloriously conspicuous.”
