“There is one divine remedy, and only one. It is no mixture. Receive ye it and live—’
With His stripes we are healed.’ No sprinkling can wash out sin, no confirmation
can confer grace, no masses can propitiate God.

Your hope must be in Jesus, Jesus smitten, Jesus bruised, Jesus slain, Jesus the
Substitute for sinners. Whosoever believes in Him is healed, but all other hopes
are a lie from top to bottom.

Of sacramentarianism, I will say that its Alpha is a lie, and its Omega is a lie,
it is false as the devil who devised it. But Christ, and only Christ, is the true
Physician of souls, and His stripes the only remedy.

Oh, for a trumpet to sound this through every town of England! Through every city
of Europe! Oh, to preach this in the Colosseum! Or better still from the pulpit 
of St. Peter’s!—’With His stripes we are healed.’

Away, away ye deceivers, with your mixtures and compounds. Away ye proud sons of
men with your boastings of what ye feel, and think, and do, and what ye intend and
vow. ‘With His stripes we are healed.’

A crucified Saviour is the sole and only hope of a sinful world.”
