That "one thing," I trust, the Lord will both show you, and bestow upon you, in his due time. You speak somewhere of "atoning for disobedience by repentance." Ah! my dear sir, when we are brought to estimate our disobedience, by comparing it with such a sense of the majesty, holiness, and authority of God, and the spirituality, extent, and sanction of his holy law, as he, and he only, can impress upon the heart of a sinner, we shall be convinced that nothing but the blood of the Son of God can atone for the smallest instance of disobedience.
John Newton — Cardiphonia; or, The Utterance of the Heart, in the Course of a Real Correspondence (Philadelphia: Presbyterian Board of Publication), Letter to the Rev. Mr. S., p. 167
