Our eternal life is the free gift of God through Jesus Christ. Our light, both of the night and day, is free. Christ, the light of the world, is the unspeakable gift of God. Our birth is free; of his own will he begets us again to a lively hope, and we are born of the free Spirit. Our baptism is free; we are buried with Christ in baptism, baptized into Christ, and put on Christ. Our food is free bread, which the Father giveth us from heaven; water of life, which we are required to take freely, and wine and milk bought without money and without price. Our raiment is free; a gift of righteousness and grace, and garments of salvation. Our person is free; for whom the Son makes free, he is free indeed.
John Brown of Haddington — Tract XIII, "Christ the Best Minister of State," in Select Remains of the Rev. John Brown, Late Minister of the Gospel at Haddington (Pittsburgh: Cramer, Spear and Eichbaum, 1810), p. 104
