I found this discovery sweetly drawing to a willing, cheerful endeavour after holiness in all manner of conversation. Whereas, all former courses I took, only drove me forcibly to a feigned submission; which made me often wonder at the folly of Socinians and Arminians, and other Pelagian enemies, who pretend, that free justification leads to security and carelessness. I could not but say and think often, What! shall I believe such wild and wicked reproaches against my clear experience? Do not I find quite the contrary, while the "love of Christ constrains to judge thus, that if one died for all, then were all dead, that they who henceforth live, should not live to themselves, but to him that died for them. They err, not knowing the Scriptures, nor the power of God."
