On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

I speak as a man, that is, I object this as the of carnal hearts; it is suggested like a man, a vain, foolish, proud creature. God forbid; far be it from us to imagine such a thing. Suggestions that reflect dishonour upon God and his justice and holiness are rather to be startled at than parleyed with.
