Sin Is Never Less Quiet Than When

I Wish Thy Lot, Now Bad, Still Worse, My Friend, For When At Worst, They Say, Things Always Mend.

Unless We Are Thoroughly Convinced That Without Christ We Are Under The Eternal Curse Of God, As The Worst Of His Enemies, We Shall Never Flee To Him For Refuge.

The New Goddess Contingency Could Not Be Erected Until The God Of Heaven Was Utterly Despoiled Of His Dominion Over The Sons Of Men, And In The Room Thereof A Home-bred Idol Of Self-sufficiency Set Up, And The World Persuaded To Worship It. But That The Building Climb No Higher, Let All Men Observe How The Word Of God Overthrows This Babylonian Tower.

All That May Be Known Of God For Our Salvation, Especially His Wisdom, Love, Goodness, Grace And Mercy On Which The Life Of Our Souls Depends, Are Represented To Us In All Their Splendour In And Through Christ. No Wonder Then That Christ Is Glorious In The Eyes Of Believers!

Many There Are Who, Not Comprehending, Not Being Affected With, That Divine, Spiritual Description Of The Person Of Christ Which Is Given Us By The Holy Ghost In The Scripture, Do Feign Unto Themselves False Representations Of Him By Images And Pictures, So As To Excite Carnal And Corrupt Affections In Their Minds. By The Help Of Their Outward Senses, They Reflect On Their Imaginations The Shape Of A Human Body, Cast Into Postures And Circumstances Dolorous Or Triumphant; And So, By The Working Of Their Fancy, Raise A Commotion Of Mind In Themselves, Which They Suppose To Be Love Unto Christ.
