They say that they do believe and rejoice that there is a throne * of grace , at which wt ? may obtain mercy and > find grace ; aad alsQ that we have a high priest , who is touched with the ^ feelings of © ur infireiities ^ It was not my intention to deny this , but I am now sensible thatl . was not sufficiently accurate or sufficiently full in the . statement
which I made . , I would therefore , mal $ e the following alteration , which I apprehend will meet the ideas of those gentlemen who were present when this subject was discussed /*
" The generality of Christians must have a Saviour who is more' tban human : they- ' mast haVe -atfc atonfrig sacrifice ; theymust have a throne * of grace , where they may apply not only for mercy to pardon ; ( ps the ; Soxjinians allow ) : but also for ^ race
to help them in time of need , ( which many > of them do not allow if by grace we mean tjie immediate . assistance of theJHToly Spirit )^ and they must huve a high priest who is , toucjhed with the ieejing of th ^ ir infirmities , ( which the ( j $ o . cimans aflpw that they havc ' , and also tliat he is now actively employed ^ iri prdmoting the "Welfare of Cihristian ^ , but ^ they do not allow tttat he intercedes for
them or pleads their pause in the common acceptation ' of the vr ^ rd ) I " On the * Whole of . this statencent ' and e ^ p laAaUoax Mr / Caifpenter ' s * f- Unitarian bi ^ thrieiOt' / jkvill , 4 aiibtless , © hserve , that numbers of Christians , besides the fieKfr o ? ptiih $ p $% i 6 ' mincl $ y actuailv , ^ n .
