You ask, what I would do with them: I would make them virtuous and happy, easy in themselves and useful to others.Amen and Amen!
Whither would I lead them? To heaven; to God the Judge, the lover of all, and to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant.
What religion do I preach? The religion of love; the law of kindness brought to light by the Gospel.
What is this good for? To make all who receive it enjoy God and themselves: to make them like God; lovers of all; contented in their lives; and crying out at their death, in calm assurance, “O grave, where is they victory! Thanks be unto God, who giveth me the victory through my Lord Jesus Christ.”
