DELIVERED TO

A COUNTRY CONGREGATION.

BY THE
REV. WILLIAM BUTCHER, M. A.

RECTOR OF ROPSLEY, LINCOLNSHIRE.

When God affirms expressly, that be justifies him who worketh

not, and freely by his grace, I cannot understand what place
our works, or duties of obedience, can have in our justification.
Neither are the words capable of any evading interpretation.
He that worketh not is he that worketh not, let men say what
they please, and distinguish as long as they will.

DR. JOHN OWEN,
They that think they are bound for Heaven in the ways of sin,

bave either found a new way untrodden by all that have gone
thither, or will find themselves deceived in the end.
