11.  Internal  sensation  is  not  to  govern  us,  or  our  feelings  to  be  our
leaders — instead  of  being  led  and  governed  by  "  the  words  which  the
Holy  Ghost  teacheth."  We  are  to  walk  neither  by  internal  nor  exter-
nal sensation — but  by  faith;  and  the  word  of  God  is  our  highest  rule  al-
ways. Wo  to  the  man  who,  inverting  the  proper  symmetry  of  his  be-
ing, allows^/ee^tTi^^  to  control  him  in  religion  or — almost — ^in  any  thing
else!

^  12.  Their  genuine  fruit  or  result  is  identified  with  all  the  moral  ex-
cdlence  or  evangelical  holiness  ever  found  in  remsomed  men.
13.  Their  mere  restraining'  power,  however  vast  or  excellent  it  may
be  in  certain  aspects,  infers  not  grace  in  the  heart  of  its  subject.  Gra-
cious afiections  are  spontaneous,  positive,  free,  happy,  joyous,  and  com-
paratively imrestrained.
14.  They  are  in  any  wise  absclutdy  necessary  to  salvation.  Are  not
regeneration,  sanctification,  illumination,  necessary  ?

15.  We  are  not  passive  under  their  action — when  all  their  efficacy
consists  in  actuaiing  us  in  goodnesB !  Not  Friends  only  have  made
this  mistake !  I  have  some  reason  for  knowing  that  passivity  doctrines
are  not  the  legitimate  progeny  of  truth.
16.  We  need  not  wait  for  them.  In  fact  they  are  waiting  for  us —
and  the  waiting  system  on  our  part  is  compounded  only  of  false  views,
contracted  thoughts,  and  disobedient  feelings,  combining  for  an  excuse
in  sin !  The  waiting  system  is  ordinarily  subverted  before  conversions  or
revivals  ensue.
17.  They  are  not  necessary  to  make  us  accountabley  or  necessary  to
accountableness.  They  may  increase,  not  constitute,  our  accountable-
ness.  We  are  accountable  absolutely  and  universally,  perfectly  and
eternally.
