Re: Internet connection problem

 

In many others it has been

like the dawning of the day, when at first but a little light appears,

and it may be presently hid with a cloud; and then it appears again, and

shines a little brighter, and gradually increases, with intervening

darkness, till at length it breaks forth more clearly from behind the

clouds. And many are, doubtless, ready to date their conversion wrong,

throwing by those lesser degrees of light that appeared at first

dawning, and calling some more remarkable experience they had

afterwards, their conversion. This often, in a great measure, arises

from a wrong understanding of what they have always been taught, that

conversion is a great change, wherein old things are done away, and all

things become new, or at least from a false inference from that

doctrine.

 

Persons commonly at first conversion, and afterwards, have had many

texts of Scripture brought to their minds, which are exceeding suitable

to their circumstances, often come with great power, as the word of God

or of Christ indeed; and many have a multitude of sweet invitations,

promises, and doxologies flowing in one after another, bringing great

light and comfort with them, filling the soul brimful, enlarging the

heart, and opening the mouth in religion. And it seems to be necessary

to suppose that there is an immediate influence of the Spirit of God,

oftentimes, in bringing texts of Scripture to the mind. Not that I

suppose

Re: Internet connection problem

 

There were 114 such spoof/bogus posts made in the windowsme.general NG

between 04:40 and 09:41 GMT today. Win95 & Win98 NGs were also affected.

 

I have reported them to Microsoft as have others.

 

I have removed the cross post to alt.prisons in this reply. Each of the

spoofs had a cross-post to another, random, Usenet NG.

them into parties holding so different views. Observe, now, all the feelings

of greatness and glory which the experience of so many woes cannot stifle,

and see if the cause of them must not be in another nature.

 

For Port-Royal to-morrow (Prosopopaea).--"It is in vain, O men, that you

seek within yourselves the remedy for your ills. All your light can only

reach the knowledge that not in yourselves will you find truth or good. The

philosophers have promised you that, and you have been unable to do it. They

neither know what is your true good, nor what is your true state. How could

they have given remedies for your ills, when they did not even know them?

Your chief maladies are pride, which takes you away from God, and lust,

which binds you to earth; and they have done nothing else but cherish one or

other of these diseases. If they gave you God as an end, it was only to

administer to your pride; they made you think that you are by nature like

Him and conformed to Him. And those who saw the absurdity of this claim put

you on another precipice, by making you understand that your nature was like

that of the brutes, and led you to seek your good in the lusts which are

shared by the animals. This is not the way to cure you of your

unrighteousness, which these wise men never knew. I alone c
