Excerpt from The Saint Indeed, and the Touchstone of Sincerity
This is no gratuitous assertion, which they are shut up to take at our word; for if they look at the character of God as described in his own revelation, and consider the nature of that communion which he must maintain with reasonable beings, when he chooses to commune with them at all, they will see it undeniable, that in all their intermeddlings with religious things, they have been in a state of aliena tion from God that although he was near in their mouths, yet, by an inward moral repellency of which they were conscious, and which was the matter of their own choice, he was kept far from their reins. If this, then, be the cause of the evil, the cure is easily pointed out. They must come near to God.
