"We said, in 1744, 'We have leaned too much toward Calvinism.' Wherein?
"1. With regard to man's faithfulness. Our Lord Himself taught us to use the expression. And we ought never to be ashamed of it. We ought steadily to assert, on His authority, that if a man is not 'faithful in the unrighteous mammon,' God will not give him 'the true riches.'
"2. With regard to working for life. This also our Lord has expressly commanded us. 'Labour ([Greek: ergazesthe], literally, 'work') for the meat that endureth to everlasting life.' And, in fact, every believer, till he comes to glory, works for as well as from life.
"3. We have received it as a maxim that 'a man is to do nothing in order to justification.' Nothing can be more false. Whoever desires to find favour with God, should 'cease from evil, and learn to do well.' Whoever repents should do 'works meet for repentance.' And if this is not in order to find favour, what does he do them for?
"Review the whole affair.
"1. Who of us is now accepted of God?
"He that now believes in Christ, with a loving and obedient heart.
"2. But who among those that never heard of Christ?
"He that feareth God, and worketh righteousness, according to the light he has.
"3. Is this the same with 'he that is sincere'?
