Stier 1800-1862)

“A God full of compassion; that is, infinitely compassionate, and, as it were, affected with our misery. He is gracious, though we be unworthy: he is long-suffering, although we be given to strife and provocation of him; and how great soever our misdeservings have been, he is plenteous in mercy; and however we have forfeited our interest in his promises, yet he will not follow the forfeiture, but will keep up our right unto his promises still: he is plenteous in truth; great is his faithfulness who keepeth promises, albeit he might justly reject them.” (David Dickson 1583-1662)

“Truly may we say, the sweet savour of the death of Christ, perpetuated through the ceaseless ministry of our High Priest, is ever our memorial of acceptance with God: sheltered under that, no ill-savour of ours can awaken wrath—no accusation of the enemy can prevail.” (Henry W. Soltay 1805-1875)
