A Faith without Fruits, a Profession without Purity is the most awful Mistake, the most dangerous Self-deceit an immortal Soul can be under. To turn the Grace of God into Lasciviousness, has been indeed an old Practice, and I am afraid is still too much in Being: However, blessed be God, I trust, none of us have so learned Christ; but have indeed felt (and may we more and more feel!) the opposite Constraints of his redeeming Love, and of the holy Commandment, Let every one that nameth the Name of Christ depart from Iniquity.
John Conder — John Conder, A Sermon Preached at the Ordination of the Reverend Mr. William Porter, July 7, 1756, at Miles’s Lane, London (1756), p. 60
