The Principal is Christ, the only Mediator between God and Man, 1 Tim. 2.5. His Work is to bring us to God, 1 Peter 3.18. He is the way to the Father, John 14.6. the only plank on which we may escape, the only door by which we may enter, John 10.9. Conversion brings over the Soul to Christ, to accept of him, Col. 2.6. as the only means to Life, as the only way, the only name given under Heaven, Acts 4.12. He looks not for Salvation in any other but him, nor in any other with him; but throws himself on Christ alone, as one that should cast himself with spread A•ms upon the Sea.

Entreat me not to leave thee, or to turn away from following after thee, Ruth 1 16. Here I will throw my self: If thou kick me, if thou kill me, Job 13.15. I will not go from thy door.
