Till the sinner repents, God and he cannot be friends: 'Wash you, make you clean' (Isa. 1.16); go, steep yourselves in the brinish waters of repentance. Then, says God, I will parley with you: 'Come now, and let us reason together' (Isa. 1.18); but otherwise, come not near me: 'What communion hath light with darkness?' (2 Cor. 6.14).
