“Christ’s Sheep hear his Voice tremblingly, with great Fear, holy Awe, and Reverence.” (Page 89)
“2. The Voice of Christ’s Spirit, is a convincing Voice.* Come, see a Man that told me all things that ever I did:” (Page 81)
“Jesus Christ puts forth his Almighty Hand to vanquish and subdue this cruel Foe, and thereby redeems and rescues all his Sheep out of Slavery and Bondage; by which means they come to be his by a blessed Conquest of their Enemies, and by overcoming them; for he subdues their Hearts, bends and subjects their rebellious Wills by the Power of Divine Grace, before he can have one of them: All the Sheep of Christ yield themselves up to him, as being conquered by him; overcome by his Love, and the Power of his Spirit. This brings me to the next thing.” (Pages 79–80)
“No meer Creature was able to abide and overcome infinite Wrath, or the Punishment due to us for our Sins; therefore he must be God, that so he might bear the Burden of Divine Anger in his Flesh, the Godhead upholding and sustaining his Humane Nature, under his bloody Agony and fearful Anguish and Suffering on the Tree, when God the Father was withdrawn from him, and the Pangs of Hell took hold of him.” (Page 93)
“He must be Man; because he must die, which the Godhead could not do; yea, he must be Man in our Nature, that he might satisfy the Justice of God for us, because the Righteousness of God requires, that the same Nature which had sinned, should make a full Compensation to the Law of God and infinite Justice. O take heed no Man shakes your Faith in this great Article of the Christian Religion.” (Page 94)
