It is beautiful to observe, how the holy pleader begs for deliverance upon the footing of God's righteousness. Jesus, when he stood as the sinner's surety, did this: and in his name all his people do the same. Acts 4:12. God's righteousness, as well as God's grace, becomes the plea, when a soul hath an interest in the Redeemer's righteousness.
