Do not stand still disputing about thine election, but set to repenting and believing. Cry to God for converting grace. Revealed things belong to thee; in these busy thyself. 'Tis just (as one well said) that they that will not feed on the plain food of the word, should be choked with the bones. Whatever God's purposes be, I am sure his promises be true. Whatever the decrees of heaven be, I am sure, that if I repent and believe, I shall be saved; and that if I repent not, I shall be damned. Is not here plain ground for thee? and wilt thou yet run upon the rocks?
Joseph Alleine — An Alarm to Unconverted Sinners: In a Serious Treatise (Hanover, N.H.: C. Spear, 1816), "The nature of Conversion," p. 37
