W. Hast thou need to be informed, that no name is so offensive in thy sight as infidel? And didst thou not use that word to revile thy brother? Is that for the glory of God, which injures thyself and those that hear thee? When thou shalt see thyself, as thy Master seeth thee, then thou wilt not contradict his instruction. Thou wilt not dispute with revelation, because thou dost not comprehend, by reason of thy confinement, the wisdom it discloses. Wouldst thou evacuate this castle? C. I would consult my teacher, and exercise my reason. W. Who is thy teacher, and what is thy reason? C. That thou mayest explain. W. Thy teacher will not consent to any interference. C. Thou mayest explain, and I will counsel with him. W. Better that thou shouldst call him, and I will converse with him before thee. C. The mind soon said, “He is here.” W. Thy teacher will explain. T. This castle is the gate to heaven. No man can gain admission to the sanctuary of wisdom, unless he shall deny the world, and take up the cross. W. What world must he deny? T. He must deny all ungodliness, and all worldly-mindedness, and pride. He must deny the world of vanity and pleasure. W. He must not deny himself pleasure? T. Yes; he must deny himself the pleasures of sin for a season, that he may inherit eternal life at the day of judgment. W. Thou wilt not say he must deny himself the pleasure of good? T. No: but minds must deny what will do them much harm. W. Will good do minds harm? T. The good of sin will curse the soul at the day of judgment. W. Then, wilt thou inform me, why it would not be better to call that good, evil? T. It is good now to the sinner; but when God comes to make up his jewels, he will separate the chaff from the wheat. W. Will God gather his jewels together at the judgment day? T. They will be gathered from one end of heaven to the other. W. What will he do with them, when he has gathered them together? T. He will place them at his right hand. W. Whom will he place on the left hand? T. The goats. W. Who are the goats? T. Infidels and unbelievers. W. Who are infidels and unbelievers? T. Those who deny revelation, and disobey God. W. Then all who deny revelation, and disobey God, are infidels, or unbelievers? T. Yes. W. Hast thou never denied revelation, and disobeyed God? Thou wilt not reject what revelation discloses and duty requires, if wisdom be found in thy sayings. T. I will not say, I have never denied revelation, and I acknowledge I have disobeyed God; but, I trust, I have found favor in his sight, by repentance and faith in the Lord Jesus. W. Thou mayest find still greater favor, if thou wilt evacuate this castle, and receive the inspiration of nature. T. The inspiration of nature! What is the inspiration of nature? W. It is what natural things impress on the mind. T. How can nature inspire?
