Q. 12. Ask them whether the holy Nature of God be not so contrary to Sin, as that it is Blasphemy to •y that he will bring to Heaven, and into the Bosom of his Eternal Delights, any unholy unrenewed Soul. 1 Pet. 1.15, 16.
Q 13. Ask them why it was that Christ came into the World? whether it was not to save his People from their Sins, Matth. 1.21. and to destroy the works of the Devil, 1 John 3.8. and to purify to himself a peculiar People, zealous of good works, Titus 2.14. And to bring home straying Souls to God, Luke 15. And to be the way to the Father, John 13.6 And whether Christ will save that Soul that is not converted by him, & saved from his Sins? Or whether it be the dead Image only of a crucified Jesus, that is all their Saviour, while they will have no more of him?
Q. 14. Ask them why they believe, and were baptized into the Holy-Ghost; and whether a Man can enter into the Kingdom of Heaven, that is not born of the Spirit as well as of Water, Joh. 3.3, 5, 6. and ⟨p. xvi⟩he that is not converted, and begins not the World as it were anew, in a teachable, tractable newness of Life, like a little Child?
