“The special end of the covenant of grace is, ‘the praise of the glory of His grace,’(**
Eph. 1:6**), and the revelation of His unsearchable and manifold wisdom: which divine
perfections shine forth with lustre in the gift of a Mediator, by whom the sinner
is admitted to complete salvation, without any dishonour to the holiness, justice,
and truth of God.

There is also a demonstration of the all-sufficiency of God, by which not only man,
but even a sinner, which is more surprising, may be restored to union and communion
with God.”
