Modern spelling is a reading aid: the words are the author’s, only the spelling is modernized. Original shows the page as printed, with the transcription marks.
To such I would present a few words.
1. That of the Apostle in Rom. 2. 2. Where sin abounded, grace did much more abound. Psal. 130. 4. There is forgiveness with thee that thou mayest be feared. Rom. 6. 1. What shall we say then? shall we continue in sin that grace may abound? ver. 2, God forbid. This were indeed to turn the grace of God into wantonness, as the Spider turns the sweet juice into poison.

2. That of the Apostle to the Church of the Ephesians, Ephes. 4. 20. But you have not so learned Christ. verse 21. if so be that you have heard him, and have been taught by him as the truth is in Jesus.
