john-1:29

To all dear Friends, who are called, who are enlightened, whose minds are turned from the world's worships and teachers, having your eye to the light and guide within, which is leading you out of this dark world, and your old, vain conversations, towards God and the world which is without end; mercy...

All Friends every where, to you this is the word of the Lord God: dwell in the life and power of God, and the seed of God, which inheriteth the promise of God [Gal 3:29]; that all light, hasty, airy, drunken spirits may be limited and stopped, and judged, and all foolishness and unsavouriness, and c...

Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, streams of living water will flow from within him." John 7:37-38 The text which heads this message ... Read More

The CAUSE OF GOD AND TRUTH. Part 1 Section 57—1 John 2:2. And he is the propitiation for our sins; and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world. A very considerable argument for the universal extent of Christ’s death is thought to arise[1] from this passage of scripture, as well a... Read More

A Body of Doctrinal Divinity Book 4—Chapter 5 OF THE ABROGATION OF THE OLD COVENANT, OR FIRST ADMINISTRATION OF IT, AND THE INTRODUCTION OF THE NEW, OR SECOND ADMINISTRATION OF IT. When we speak of the Abrogation of the Covenant this is to be understood, not of the covenant of grace, as to the matte... Read More

A Body of Doctrinal Divinity Book 6—Chapter 4 OF THOSE TEXTS OF SCRIPTURE WHICH SEEM TO FAVOUR UNIVERSAL REDEMPTION There are several passages of scripture, which, at first sight, may seem to countenance the universal scheme; and which are usually brought in support of it; and which it will be neces...
