This is that glory of Christ whereof one view by faith will scatter all fears, answer all the objections, and give relief against all the despondencies, of poor tempted souls; and an anchor it will be to all believers, which they may cast within the veil, to hold them firm and steadfast in all trials, storms and temptations in life and death, - John Owen, Works I. p.359
