Chapter LVIII.&#8212;Submission the Precursor of Salvation.

Let us, therefore, flee from the warning threats pronounced by Wisdom on the disobedient, and yield submission to His all-holy and glorious name, that we may stay our trust upon the most hallowed name of His majesty.&#160; Receive our counsel, and ye shall be without repentance.&#160; For, as God liveth, and as the Lord Jesus Christ and the Holy Ghost live,&#8212;both the faith and hope of the elect, he who in lowliness of mind, with instant gentleness, and without repentance hath observed the ordinances and appointments given by God&#8212;the same shall obtain a place and name in the number of those who are being saved through Jesus Christ, through whom is glory to Him for ever and ever.&#160; Amen.
