Converted and Natural Men Indistinguishable

Converted men as a class are indistinguishable from natural men; some natural men even excel some converted men in their fruits; and no one ignorant of doctrinal theology could guess by mere every-day inspection of the “accidents” of the two groups of persons before him that their substance differed as much as divine differs from human substance.
