I always laugh when we are accused of "cheap grace" because of our firm belief in salvation by grace through faith, the gift of God, not works or the will of man and the assurance it gives. In the middle of Edward's first Resolution, he says, "Resolved to do whatever I think to be my duty and most for the good and advantage of mankind in general." The fruit of this great salvation, not the cause or the cooperation. My church has the Cliff Notes version of the Resolutions which we affirm at the first prayer meeting of the New Year.

Remember to read over these Resolutions once a week.

1. Resolved, that I will do whatsoever I think to be most to God' s glory, and my own good, profit and pleasure, in the whole of my duration, without any consideration of the time, whether now, or never so many myriads of ages hence. Resolved to do whatever I think to be my duty and most for the good and advantage of mankind in general. Resolved to do this, whatever difficulties I meet with, how many soever, and how great soever.

You're ahead of me. I only found them today (but I resolve to find them again.) 8~)
