The Good Lord Send Out A Spirit

There Is No True Gospel Fruit Without Faith And Repentance.

Indwelling Sin Always Abides Whilst We Are In This World; Therefore It Is Always To Be Mortified.

Never Was Sin Seen To Be More Abominably Sinful And Full Of Provocation Than When The Burden Of It Was Upon The Shoulders Of The Son Of God...would You, Then, See The True Demerit Of Sin?-take The Measure Of It From The Mediation Of Christ, Especially His Cross.

Some Relate . . . That The Eagle Tries The Eyes Of Her Young By Turning Them To The Sun; Which If They Cannot Look Steadily On, She Rejects Them As Spurious. We May Truly Try Our Faith By Immediate Intuitions Of The Sun Of Righteousness. Direct Faith To Act Itself, Immediately And Directly On The Incarnation Of Christ And His Mediation; And If It Be Not The Right Kind And Race, It Will Turn Its Eyes Aside To Anything Else.

Now Nothing Can Prevent This But Mortification; That Withers The Root And Strikes At The Head Of Sin Every Hour, So That Whatever It Aims At It Is Crossed In.
