That soul is dead to which the Spirit of Christ is not given in the work of regeneration; and all its works are dead works.

All the tears of a penitent sinner, should he shed as many as there have fallen drops of rain, since the creation, to this day, cannot wash away one sin. The everLasting burnings in hell, cannot purify the flaming conscience, from the least sin.

One word of God can do more than ten thousand words of men to relieve a distressed soul.
