Read the Introduction by Rev. Robert Maguire, D. D.

Lord Chief Secretary

"This signifies the Holy Spirit, whose office it is to reveal and make known to man the counsels of the God-head. Of that Spirit doth Christ speak when he saith—“He shall take of mine, and shall show it unto you,” John 16:55. The Spirit makes known the terms of the covenant for the redemption of the world—that man has sinned, and must therefore pay the penalty pronounced against the sinner—the penalty of death."[2]
