Min. But do you Mourn without Hopes?
H. S. I thank God I do not.
Min. Where do you see a Door of Hope?
H. S. In the Lord Jesus Christ, who as died to save Sinners.
Min. Truly, There is no other Name by which we may be saved? The Righteousness ⟨p. 74⟩of the Lord Jesus Christ, […] that alone, in which you may safely anon appear before the Judgment […] of God. And that Righteousness in by the marvellous and infinite Grace of God, offered unto you. But do you find, that as you have no Righteousness, so you have no Strength• that you cannot of your self move or stir; towards the Lord Jesus Christ, though you justly, perish if you do not Run unto Him? that it is the Grace of God alon which must enable you to accept of Salvation from the Great Saviour?
