_Sentences from 'No Cross, No Crown,'
by WILLIAM PENN._
_'Come, Reader, hearken to me
awhile; I seek thy salvation; that
is my plot; thou wilt forgive me.'_
_'Thou, like the inn of old, hast
been full of guests; thy affections
have entertained other lovers;
there has been no room for thy
Saviour in thy soul ... but his
love is after thee still, & his
holy invitation continues to save
thee.'_
_'Receive his leaven, & it will
change thee; his medicine and it
will cure thee; he is as infallible
as free; without money and with
certainty.... Yield up the body,
soul & spirit to Him that maketh
all things new: new heavens & new
earth, new love, new joy, new
peace, new works, a new life &
conversation....'_
_'The inward, steady righteousness
of Jesus is another thing than all
the contrived devotion of poor
superstitious man.... True worship
is an inward work; the soul must be
touched and raised in its heavenly
desires by the heavenly Spirit....
So that souls of true worshippers
see God: and this they wait, they
pant, they thirst for.'_
_'Worship is the supreme act of
man's life.'_
