The humbled sinner resolved what he should do to be saved. Or Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ the only way of salvation for sensible sinners.

It argues the heart to be base and sordid, which can slight and scorn the Messengers of Christ; he hath no grace, who can contemn and vilify a Minister of grace. But two things God ever works, when he confers grace, (viz.) A love of the word of Grace, and an Honouring of the Messengers of Peace.
