“Mark well the great advantages you have for the attainment of holiness by
seeking it in a right gospel order.
You will have the advantage of the love God manifested towards you, in
forgiving your sins, receiving you into favor, and giving you the spirit of
adoption, and the hope of His glory freely through Christ, to persuade and
constrain you by sweet allurements to love God again, who has so dearly loved
you, and to love others for His sake, and to give up yourselves to the obedience
of all His commands out of hearty love to Him.
You will also enjoy the help of the Spirit of God to incline you powerfully
to obedience, and to strengthen you for the performance of it against all your
corruptions and the temptations of Satan, so that you will have both wind and
tide to forward your voyage in the practice of holiness."
— Walter Marshall
