The Sin Of Adam Did Not Make

There Is No Form Of Conviction More Intimate And Irresistible Than That Which Arises From The Inward Teaching Of The Spirit.

The Sin Of Adam Did Not Make The Condemnation Of All Men Merely Possible; It Was The Ground Of Their Actual Condemnation. So The Righteousness Of Christ Did Not Make The Salvation Of Men Merely Possible, It Secured The Actual Salvation Of Those For Whom He Wrought.

It Is Because God Is Infinitely Great And Good That His Glory Is The End Of All Things; And His Good Pleasure The Highest Reason For Whatever Comes To Pass. What Is Man That He Should Contend With God, Or Presume That His Interests Rather Than God's Glory Should Be Made The Final End?

But To Be The Vicar Of Christ, To Claim To Exercise His Prerogatives On Earth, Does Involve A Claim To His Attributes, And Therefore Our Opposition To Popery Is Opposition To A Man Claiming To Be God.

The Church, However, Is A Self-governing Society, Distinct From The State, Having Its Officers And Laws, And, Therefore, An Administrative Government Of Its Own.
