And the DOCTRINE of GOD our SAVIOUR, the entrance of which now to give light unto us is This.
'Tis in the way of REPENTING, that they who have sinned, may look to be saved from the evil Effects of their Sin; And there must be seen the PLOUGH breaking up our Fallow Ground, in this REPENTANCE.

In the sacred Prophecies, with which the Scripture of Truth has been, as a Light inning in a Dark place unto us, the Times that are to be longed for, [The Souls under the Altar cry out, for them, How long!] even the Times, when the promised Kingdom of GOD shall arrive, and the Times which according to his Promise we look for; This is given as the Character of them; Isa. II. 4. They shall beat their Swords into Plough-shares. My Brethren, There will be a prelibation of those glorious Times in it, if the Plough-shares may now so come into their operation, as to break up our fallow Ground, and produce the Repentance in us, which will never be Repented of.
