The greatness of the soul and unspeakableness of the loss thereof with the causes…

The Gospel is a Revelation of a sovereign Remedy, provided by God through Christ, for the Health and Salvation of those that have made themselves objects of wrath by the Breach of the Law of Works. This is manifest by all the Scripture: But how doth the Soul carry it towards God, when he offereth to deal with it under and by this dispensation of grace? Why, just as it carried it under the Law of Works, they oppose, they contradict, they blaspheme, and forbid that this Gospel be mentioned. What higher ^aaffront or contempt can be offered to God and what greater disdain can be shown against the Gospel? Yet all this the poor Soul to its own wrong offereth against the way of its own salvation as it is said in the Word of Truth, ^bHe that sinneth against ⟨p. 81⟩me, wrongs his own Soul, all that hate me, love death.
