Let us now attend to the Evangelical preacher, (Toplady).

"The Religion of Jesus Christ stands eminently distinguished, and essentially differenced, from every other religion that was ever proposed to human reception, by this remarkable peculiarity; that, look abroad in the world, and you will find that every religion, 'except one', puts you upon 'doing something', in order to recommend yourself to God.

A Mahometan * * A Papist * * * It is only the religion of Jesus Christ that runs counter to all the rest, by affirming--that we are 'saved' and called with a holy calling, 'not' according to our works, but according to the Father's own purpose and grace, which was 'not' sold to us 'on certain conditions to be fulfilled by ourselves', but was given us in Christ before the world began." Toplady's Works: Sermon on James ii.

18.
'Si sic omnia'! All this is just and forcible; and surely nothing can be easier than to confute the Methodist by shewing that his very 'no-doing', when he comes to explain it, is not only an act, a work, but even a very severe and perseverant energy of the will.

He is therefore to be arraigned of nonsense and abuse of words rather than of immoral doctrines.
