1we have little enough: would we had rather much more. Then they will be glad of any thing like Grace: and if they can but produce any external familiarity with Christ, or Common gifts, how glad are they? Lord, we have eat and drunk in thy presence, prophesied in thy name, cast out devils, done many wonderful works; we have been baptized, heard Sermons, professed Christianity: But, alas, this will not serve the turn: He will profess to them, I never knew you: 2Depart from me, ye workers of iniquity. Oh dead hearted sinner! is all this nothing to thee? As sure as Christ is true, this is true. Take it in his own words: Math. 25.31. When the Son of man shall come in his Glory: and before him shall be gathered all Nations; and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats: and he shall set the sheep on the right hand, and the goats on the left: and so on, as you may read in the Text.
