Whilst strongholds remain unshaken, the Lord Jesus is kept off from conquering of the soul.
只要堡垒依然屹立不倒，主耶稣就无法征服灵魂。
Now, spiritual truths are either such as tend to enlarge the understanding, or such as may work chiefly upon the affections. I pass by (in this knowing age) the first of these, and, being among a people whose hearts are hard enough, I begin with the latter sort; for the understanding, although it may literally, yet it never savingly, entertains any truth, until the affections be herewith smitten and wrought upon.
现在，属灵真理要么倾向于扩展理解，要么主要作用于情感。我略过（在这个知识的时代）前者，身处一群心肠足够坚硬的人之中，我从后者开始；因为理解，尽管可能从字面上，却永远无法从救赎的角度接受任何真理，直到情感被击中并受到影响。
I shall, therefore, here prosecute the unfolding of these divine principles: –
因此，我将在此阐述这些神圣原则的展开：-
First, that there is one most glorious God.
首先，存在一位最荣耀的上帝。
Secondly, that this God made all mankind at first in Adam in a most glorious estate.
其次，这位上帝最初在亚当里创造了全人类，处于最荣耀的状态。
Thirdly, that all mankind is now fallen from that estate into a bottomless gulf of sin and misery.
第三，全人类现在已从那种状态堕落到无底的罪恶和苦难深渊中。
Fourthly, that the Lord Jesus Christ is the only means of redemption of this estate.
第四，主耶稣基督是这种状态唯一的救赎方式。
Fifthly, that those that are saved out of this woeful estate by Christ are very few, and that these few are saved with much difficulty. 第五，那些被基督从这可悲状态中拯救出来的人很少，而且这些少数人得救是非常困难的。
Sixthly, that the greatest cause why so many die and perish in this estate is from themselves: either, –
第六，如此多人在这种状态中死亡和灭亡的最大原因来自他们自身：要么，-
By reason of their bloody ignorance, they know not their misery; or, –
由于他们的极度无知，他们不知道自己的苦难；或者，-
By reason of their carnal security, they feel not, they groan not under their sin and misery.
由于他们的肉体安全感，他们感觉不到，他们不在罪恶和苦难下呻吟。
By reason of their carnal confidence, they seek to help themselves out of their misery by their own duties, when they see or feel it; or, –
由于他们的肉体自信，当他们看到或感觉到苦难时，他们试图通过自己的职责来帮助自己摆脱苦难；或者，-
By reason of their false faith, whereby they catch hold upon, and trust unto, the merits of Christ too soon, when they see and feel they cannot help themselves.
由于他们的虚假信仰，当他们看到并感觉到无法自助时，他们过早地抓住并信任基督的功德。
