See How Ye Pharisee In The Temple

He That Doth Righteousness; That Is, Righteousness Which The Gospel Calleth So, Is Righteous; That Is, Precedent To, Or Before He Doth That Righteousness. For He Doth Not Say, He Shall Make His Person Righteous By Acts Of Righteousness That He Shall Do; For Then An Evil Tree May Bear Good Fruit, Yea, And Make Itself Good By Doing So; But He Saith, He That Doth Righteousness Is Righteous; As He Saith, He That Doth Righteousness Is Born Of Him.

To Lay Hold Of And Receive The Gospel By A True And Saving Faith Is An Act Of The Soul That Has Been Made A New Creature, Which Is The Workmanship Of God... Wherefore Whoever Receiveth The Grace That Is Tendered In The Gospel, They Must Be Quickened By The Power Of God, Their Eyes Must Be Opened, Their Understandings Illuminated, Their Ears Unstopped, Their Hearts Circumcised, Their Wills Also Rectified, And The Son Of God Revealed In Them.

No Man, Without Trials And Temptations, Can Attain A True Understanding Of The Holy Scriptures.

Then Said He, ’i Am Going To My Father’s; And Though With Great Difficulty I Am Got Hither, Yet Now I Do Not Repent Me Of All The Trouble I Have Been At To Arrive Where I Am. My Sword I Give To Him That Shall Succeed Me In My Pilgrimage, And My Courage And Skill To Him That Can Get It. My Marks And Scars I Carry With Me, To Be A Witness For Me That I Have Fought His Battles Who Now Will Be My Rewarder.’.... So He Passed Over, And All The Trumpets Sounded For Him On The Other Side.

What A Fool, Quoth He, Am I, Thus To Lie In A Stinking Dungeon, When I May As Well Walk At Liberty! I Have A Key In My Bosom, Called Promise, That Will, I Am Persuaded, Open Any Lock In Doubting Castle.
