Before conversion: says the young man,1 What shall I do that ⟨p. 184⟩I may inherit eternal life? And in the point of Conversion, in the second of the Acts, What shall we do to be saved? And Paul himself,2 Lord, what wilt thou have me to do? The Jailer too, What shall I do to be saved; What shall I do? But I pray mark the Apostles answer to the Jailer, when he cried out and said, Oh! What shall I do? The Apostle does not say, go fast, and pray, though he had need to do that: but the first work that the Apostle does put him upon, is, Believe and thou shalt be saved, This is the work.
