Truth Is The Agreement Of Our Ideas

Sincere Friendship Towards God, In All Who Believe Him To Be Properly An Intelligent, Willing Being, Does Most Apparently, Directly, And Strongly Incline To Prayer; And It No Less Disposes The Heart Strongly To Desire To Have Our Infinitely Glorious.

Religion, In Its Purity, Is Not So Much A Pursuit As A Temper; Or Rather It Is A Temper, Leading To The Pursuit Of All That Is High And Holy. Its Foundation Is Faith; Its Action, Works; Its Temper, Holiness; Its Aim, Obedience To God In Improvement Of Self, And Benevolence To Men.

If We Make A Great Show Of Respect And Love To God, In The Outward Actions, While There Is No Sincerity In The Heart, It Is But Hypocrisy And Practical Lying Unto The Holy One.

Those Who Are In A State Of Salvation Are To Attribute It To Sovereign Grace Alone, And To Give All The Praise To Him Who Maketh Them To Differ From Others.

Resolved, Never To Do Anything Out Of Revenge.
