The Almost Christian Discovered

''But leaving the treatise to speak for itself, we beseech the man who is but almost a Christian, in traveling through its pages to avail himself of its aid. We ask him simply, to reason the matter on the principles and findings which it sets before him; but to do this in that spirit of earnest and humble inquisitiveness, which befits so grave a subject: and if such a spirit be far from him, or appearing to evaporate as he proceeds, let him pause and invoke its return, from that God in Jesus Christ, who maketh the heart of the rash to understand doctrine. As be wishes to prosper, let him never forget, that while it is easy to show him the proper means, and possible to bring him into contact with these, yet the disposition to apply the means in such a way, as to gain their end, cometh forth from Him, who is wonderful in counsel and excellent in working.''
