Mercy Should Make Us Ashamed, Wrath Afraid

Weak Faith Will As Surely Land The Christian In Heaven As Strong Faith, For It Is Impossible The Least Dram Of True Grace Should Perish

And While God Had Work For Paul, He Found Him Friends Both In Court And Prison. Let Persecutors Send Saints To Prison, God Can Provide A Keeper For Their Turn.

Indeed All The Saints Are Taught The Same Lesson - To Renounce Their Own Strength, And Rely On The Power Of God; Their Own Policy, And Cast Themselves On The Wisdom Of God; Their Own Righteousness, And Expect All From The Pure Mercy Of God In Christ, Which Act Of Faith Is So Pleasing To God, That Such A Soul Shall Never Be Ashamed.

God Is Very Precise In This Point; He Will Say To Such As Invent Ways To Worship Him Of Their Own, Coin Means To Mortify Corruption, Obtain Comfort In Their Own Mint: 'who Hath Required This At Your Hands?' This Is Truly To Be 'righteous Over-much,' As Solomon Speaks, When We Will Pretend To Correct God's Law, And Add Supplements Of Our Own To His Rule.

Paul Was Nero's Prisoner, But Nero Was Much More God's... But How Does The Great Apostle Spend His Time In Prison?... We Read Of No Dispatches Sent To Court To Procure His Liberty; But Many To The Churches, To Help Them To Stand Fast In The Liberty Wherewith Christ Had Made Them Free... The Devil Had As Good Have Let Paul Alone, For He No Sooner Comes Into Prison But He Falls A Preaching, At Which The Gates Of Satan's Prison Fly Open, And Poor Sinners Come Forth.
