Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade, &c.— "We convince men, and persuade them to be Christians, through divine grace, and by that means are manifested to God as his servants, and to your consciences." Mr. Locke's paraphrase is, "Knowing therefore this terrible judgment of the Lord, I preach the gospel, persuading men to be Christians; and with what integrity I discharge that duty is manifest to God; and I trust also you are convinced of it in your consciences." See the Inferences and Reflections.
