"Whether is it possible, that any can be saved, without Christ manifested within? If no, then whether is not the doctrine of salvation, which is only necessary, to preach Christ within: And is not the whole mystery of salvation, God manifest in the flesh?" Answ. There can none be saved, but they that have the Spirit of Christ given unto them.
Now the God of blessing bless it to the awakening of many sinners, and the salvation of their souls by faith in Jesus Christ. Amen. Yours, to serve you by my ministry, when I can, to your edification and consolation, Quest. How many gods are there? Answ. Q. Why is not the God of the Christians the God of them that are no Christians? Q. Are there then other gods besides the God of the Christians?
"Thou hast ascended on high, thou hast led captivity captive; and received gifts for men." For what men? Even "for the rebellious also." To what end? Answ. 3. That at that very time when Jesus Christ did hang on the cross on Mount Calvary, was buried, rose again from the dead, and ascended above the clouds from his disciples, at that very time was all the law fulfilled for righteousness.
But some may say, What should be the reason that the damned should desire not to have their companions come into the same condition that they are fallen into, but rather that they might be kept from it, and escape that dreadful state? Answ. I do believe there is scarce so much love in any of the damned in hell as really to desire the salvation of any.
"All manner of sins and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men, wherewithsoever they shall blaspheme. But I have a stout and rebellious heart, a heart that is far from good. Answ. But I have a heart as hard as any stone. Answ. But I am as blind as a beetle; I cannot understand anything of the gospel. Answ.
If thou wouldst more fully express thyself before the Lord, study, first, Thy filthy estate; secondly, God's promises; thirdly, The heart of Christ. Objection. But though you have seemed to speak against any other way of praying but by the Spirit, yet here you yourself can give direction how to pray. Answ.
Quest. But why did God let Him die? Answ. He standing in the room of sinners, and that in their names and natures, God's justice must fall upon Him; for justice takes vengeance for sin wheresoever it finds it, though it be on His dear Son. Nay, God favoured His Son no more, finding our sins upon Him, than He would have favoured any of us; for, should we have died? so did He.
But what did he do with our sins, for he had them upon his back? Answ. Christ Jesus, therefore, having by the infiniteness of his merit taken away, put away, or hidden our sins from the face of God, therefore he raised him up from the dead.
But why, then, is His death so slighted by some? Answ. Christ the High Priest of the New Covenant. "He hath given His life a ransom for many." This consideration being with some weight and clearness on my spirit, I was and am caused to lay them down in two particular heads.
O, but I cannot pray. Answ. To pray is not for thee to down on thy knees, and say over a many Scripture words only; for that thou mayest do, and yet do nothing but babble. Object. O, but I am afraid to pray, for fear my prayers should be counted as sin in the sight of the great God. Answ.
