"For so very peculiarly directed to the sinner, and to him only (says the evangelical preacher) is the blessed Gospel of the Lord Jesus, that unless you are a sinner, you are not interested in its saving truths." Does not Christ himself say the same in the plainest and most unmistakable words?
'I come not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.

They that be whole need not a physician, but they that are sick'.

Can he, who has no share in the danger, be interested in the saving?
Pleased from benevolence he may be; but interested he cannot be.
'Estne aliquid inter salvum et salutem; inter liberum et libertatem?
Salus est pereuntis, vel saltem periditantis: redemptio, quasi pons divinus, inter servum et libertatem,--amissam, ideoque optatam'.

It was reserved for these days of 'new discovery' to announce to mankind that, unless they are sinners, they are excluded from the promised blessings of the Gospel.
Merely read 'that unless they are sick they are precluded from the offered remedies of the Gospel;' and is not this the dictate of common sense, as well as of Methodism?
But does not Methodism cry aloud that all men are sick--sick to the very heart?
'If we say we are without sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us'.

This shallow-pated Barrister makes me downright piggish, and without the stratagem of that famed philosopher in pig-nature almost drives me into the Charon's hoy of Methodism by his rude and stupid tail-hauling me back from it.
