330. oldal - From my childhood up, my mind had been full of objections against the doctrine of God's sovereignty in choosing whom He would to eternal life, and rejecting whom He pleased, leaving them eternally to perish, and be everlastingly tormented in hell.

We do not go to New England as Separatists from the Church of England; though we cannot but separate from the corruptions in it.
