John Owen's Warning to Those Who Profess the Gospel

Owen was fighting a Deistic theology in his day that was creeping into the churches, so he issues a "woe" to the ministers who preach a gospel that minimizes the role of the Holy Spirit.

Woe to professors of the gospel, who are seduced to believe that all they have to do with God, consists in their attention to moral virtue. It is sottish ignorance and infidelity to suppose that under the gospel there is no communication between God and us but by laws, commands and promises on his part, and by obedience performed in our own strength on part.(p.139, The Holy Spirit: His Gifts and Power
