There Can Be But One

Therefore, I Bind These Lies And Slanderous Accusations To My Person As An Ornament; It Belongs To My Christian Profession To Be Vilified, Slandered, Reproached And Reviled, And Since All This Is Nothing But That, As God And My Conscience Testify, I Rejoice In Being Reproached For Christ's Sake.

It Is Said That In Some Countries Trees Will Grow, But Will Bear No Fruit Because There Is No Winter There.

Therefore If Mine Enemy Hunger, Let Me Feed Him; If He Thirst, Let Me Give Him Drink. Now In Order To Do This, (1) We Must See Good In That, In Which Other Men Can See None. (2) We Must Pass By Those Injuries That Other Men Would Revenge. (3) We Must Show We Have Grace, And That We Are Made To Bear What Other Men Are Not Acquainted With. (4) Many Of Our Graces Are Kept Alive, By Those Very Things That Are The Death Of Other Men's Souls.... The Devil, (they Say) Is Good When He Is Pleased; But Christ And His Saints, When Displeased.

Grace Can Pardon Our Ungodliness And Justify Us With Christ's Righteousness; It Can Put The Spirit Of Jesus Christ Within Us; It Can Help Us When We Are Down; It Can Heal Us When We Are Wounded; It Can Multiply Pardons, As We Through Frailty Multiply Transgressions.

Yet My Great-grandfather Was But A Water-man, Looking One Way And Rowing Another: And I Got Most Of My Estate By The Same Occupation.
