He Who Prays As He Ought Will

The Natural Man "cannot See Or Discern That Divine Excellency In The Scripture, Without An Apprehension Whereof No Man Can Believe It Aright To Be The Word Of God."

It Is The Spirit Alone That Can Mortify Sin; He Is Promised To Do It, And All Other Means Without Him Are Empty And Vain. How Shall He, Then, Mortify Sin That Has Not The Spirit? A Man May Easier See Without Eyes, Speak Without A Tongue, Than Truly Mortify One Sin Without The Spirit.

Free Will Is "corrupted Nature's Deformed Darling, The Pallas Or Beloved Self-conception Of Darkened Minds"

Though We Are Commanded To 'wash Ourselves', To 'cleanse Ourselves From Sins', To 'purge Ourselves From All Our Iniquities', Yet To Imagine That We Can Do These Things By Our Own Efforts Is To Trample On The Cross And Grace Of Jesus Christ. Whatever God Works In Us By His Grace, He Commands Us To Do As Our Duty. God Works All In Us And By Us.

There Neither Is, Nor Ever Was, In The World, Nor Ever Shall Be, The Least Dram Of Holiness, But What, Flowing From Jesus Christ, Is Communicated By The Spirit, According To The Truth And Promise Of The Gospel.
