If the Lord Christ will not cast me off for my Sins of Infirmity; then through the Grace of God, I will not question my Spiritual Estate and Condition for every Sin; I will grieve for every Sin of Infirmity, because it is a Sin; but I will not question my Condition because it is but a Sin of Infirmity.
If the Lord Christ wil not cast me off for my Sins of Infirmity; then through the Grace of God, I wil not question my Spiritual Estate and Condition for every Sin; I wil grieve for every Sin of Infirmity, because it is a Sin; but I wil not question my Condition because it is but a Sin of Infirmity.
Then will not I cast off my self and others for the Sins of Infirmities; Shall Christs Eye be good, and shall my Eye be bad? Will not Christ cast me off for mine Infirmities, and shall I cast off others for their Infirmities? God forbid.
Then wil not I cast off my self and others for the Sins of Infirmities; Shal Christs Eye be good, and shal my Eye be bad? Wil not Christ cast me off for mine Infirmities, and shal I cast off others for their Infirmities? God forbid.
Then will not I cast off the things of Christ, because of any infirmity that may adhere to them, or the Dispensation of them. When Christ took our Nature on him, his Deity was veiled under our Humanity; his Excellency under our Infirmity. So now, his Grace, and his Dispensations, are veiled under the Infirmity of our Administrations: As for Example: Preaching is an Ordinance of Christ, yet the Sermon may be so delivered, with so much weakness of the Speaker, that the Ordinance of Christ may be veiled under much Infirmity. So the Admonition of a fallen Brother, is an Ordinance of Christ; yet it may be so administered with so much passion in the Speaker, that this Ordinance may be veiled under much Infirmity: Scarcely any Ordinance, but is veiled under some Infirmity in regard of its Administration. But is this true, That the Lord will not cast me away, because of mine Infirmities? Surely then, I will never cast away the Ordinances, or things of Christ, because of those Infirmities which may adhere, or cleave unto them.
