2. But those in whom the foundation is already laid, we exhort to go on to perfection: which we did not see so clearly at first; although we occasionally spoke of it from the beginning. 3. Yet we now preach, and that continually, faith in Christ, as the prophet, priest and king, at least, as clearly, as strongly, and as fully as we did six years ago. _Q._ 16. Do we not discourage visions and dreams too much? As if we condemned them _toto genere_. _A._ We do not intend to do this. We neither discourage nor encourage them. We learn from _Acts_ ii. 19, &c. to expect something of this kind _in the last days_. And we cannot deny, that saving faith is often given in dreams or visions of the night: which faith we account neither better nor worse, than if it came by any other means. _Q._ 17. Do not some of our assistants preach too much of the wrath, and too little of the love of God? _A._ We fear they have leaned to that extreme; and hence some of their hearers may have lost the joy of faith. _Q._ 18. Need we ever preach the terrors of the Lord to those who know they are accepted of him? _A._ No; it is folly so to do: for love is to them the strongest of all motives. _Q._ 19. Do we ordinarily represent a justified state so great and happy as it is? _A._ Perhaps not. A believer walking in the light, is inexpressibly great and happy. _Q._ 20. Should we not have a care of depreciating justification, in order to exalt the state of full sanctification? _A._ Undoubtedly we should beware of this: for one may insensibly slide into it. _Q._ 21. How shall we effectually avoid it? _A._ When we are going to speak of entire sanctification, let us first describe the blessings of a justified state, as strongly as possible. _Q._ 22. Does not the truth of the gospel lie very near both to _Calvinism_ and _Antinomianism_? _A._ Indeed it does: as it were, within a hair’s breadth. So that it is altogether foolish and sinful, because we do not quite agree, either with one or the other, to run from them as far as ever we can. * _Q._ 23. Wherein may we come to the very edge of _Calvinism_? _A._ In ascribing all good to the free grace of God: 2. In denying all natural free will, and all power antecedent to grace; and 3. In excluding all merit from man; even for what he has or does by the grace of God. _Q._ 24. Wherein may we come to the edge of _Antinomianism_? _A._ 1. In exalting the merits and love of Christ. 2. In rejoicing evermore. _Q._ 25. Does faith supersede (set aside the necessity of) holiness or good works? _A._ In no wise. So far from it, that it implies both, as a cause does its effects. _About ten, we began to speak of sanctification: with regard to which, it was inquired_; _Q._ 1. WHEN does inward sanctification begin?
