whom God had ordained, thro' faith, to be the propitiatory victim by his blood, for the manifestation of his goodness, by patiently passing over their past transgressions: to manifest,

Sentence of death therefore shall not pass upon those christians who do not lead a vicious life.

and it shall come to pass, that in the place where it was said unto them, ye are not my people; there shall they be called, the children of the living God."

as you in times past did not obey God, yet have now obtained mercy upon the occasion of their disobedience:

O the depth of the divine goodness, wisdom, and contrivance! how impenetrable are his decrees, and his ways past finding out!

let not him that eateth, despise him that does not; and let not him that refrains, pass censure on him that eateth: for God hath received him.
