has evidently
made us a new people.

I cannot say that there has been no instance of any one person who has
conducted himself unworthily; nor am I so vain as to imagine that we
have not been mistaken in our good opinion concerning any; or that there
are none who pass amongst us for sheep, that are indeed wolves in
sheep's clothing; and who probably may, some time or other, discover
themselves by their fruits. We are not so pure, but that we have great
cause to be humbled and ashamed that we are so impure; nor so religious,
but that those who watch for our halting, may see things in us, whence
they may take occasion to reproach us and religion. But in the main,
there has been a great and marvellous work of conversion and
sanctification among the people here; and they have paid all due respect
to those who have been blest of God to be the instruments of it. Both
old and young have shown a forwardness to hearken not only to my
counsels, but even to my reproofs, from the pulpit.

A great part of the country have not received the most favorable
thoughts of this affair; and to this day many retain a jealousy
concerning it, and prejudice against it. I have reason to think that the
meanness and weakness of the instrument, that has been made use of in
this town, has prejudic

"Lord, when saw we Thee an hungered, thirsty"? etc.

516. Romans 3:27. Boasting is excluded. By what law? Of works? Nay, but by
faith. Then faith is not within our power like the deeds of the law, and it
is given to us in another way.

517. Comfort yourselves. It is not from yourselves that you should expect
grace; but, on the contrary, it is in expecting nothing from yourselves that
you must hope for it.

518. Every condition, and even the martyrs, have to fear, according to
Scripture. The greatest pain of purgatory is the uncertainty of the
judgement. Deus absconditus.86

519. John 8. Multi crediderunt in eum. Dicebat ergo Jesus: "Si manseritis...
VERE mei discipuli eritis, et VERITAS LIBERABIT VOS." Responderunt: "Semen
Abrahae sumus, et nemini servimus unquam."[87]

There is a great difference between disciples and true disciples. We
recognise them by telling them that the truth will make them free; for if
they answer that they are free and that it is in their power to come out of
slavery to the devil, they are indeed disciples, but not true disciples.

520. The law has not destroyed nature, but has instructed it; grace has not
destroyed the law, but has made it act. Faith received at baptism is the
source of the whole life of Christians and of the converted.

521. Grace will always be in the world, and nature also; so that the former
is in some sort natural. And thus there will always be Pelagians, and always
Catholics, and always strife; because the first birth makes the one, and the
grace of the second birth the other.

522. The law imposed what it did not give. Grace gives what it imposes.

523. All faith consists in Jesus Christ and in Adam, and all morality in
lust and in grace.

524. There is no doctrine more appropriate to man than this, which teaches
him his double capacity of receiving and of losing grace, because of the
