The
First
Treatise
.
Shewing
that
both
Saints
and
Unconverted
Sinners
ought
daily
to
go
to
God
in
Jesus
Christ
for
Pardon
of
their
Sins
,
because
they
are
many
and
great
.
PSAL.
XXV
.
11.
For
thy
Names
sake
,
O
Lord
,
pardon
mine
Iniquity
,
for
it
is
great
.
IN
this
Psalm
,
you
have
David's
sins
laid
in
with
weight
upon
his
Conscience
,
and
in
the
deep
sense
of
their
guilt
,
pleading
with
God
about
mercy
and
pardon
;
The
sense
of
that
one
great
sin
,
in
the
matter
of
Vriah
,
(
meant
especially
in
the
Text
)
brought
in
the
sense
of
other
sins
of
his
youth
upon
him
,
as
is
usually
Gods
way
in
humbling
a
sinner
,
and
at
ver.
7.
you
have
him
at
the
feet
of
God
,
begging
as
for
his
life
,
as
to
the
remission
of
them
all
;
Remember
not
the
sins
of
my
youth
,
nor
my
transgressions
:
According
to
thy
mercy
,
remember
thou
me
,
for
thy
Goodness
,
O
Lord
:
And
here
at
the
Text
,
for
thy
Names
sake
,
O
Lord
,
&c
That
which
I
design
to
lay
before
you
from
the
words
,
is
to
open
to
you
,
and
press
upon
you
,
the
weight
,
and
blessedness
of
a
pardoned
condition
,
that
you
may
be
awakened
to
it
,
while
the
day
of
mercy
lasts
,
and
may
indeed
be
in
very
good
earnest
about
it
,
till
,
through
infinite
grace
,
you
may
obtain
it
,
and
live
and
dye
in
the
sweet
and
blessed
peace
and
comfort
of
it
,
through
our
Lord
Jesus
Christ
.
That
which
I
intend
to
give
out
from
hence
(
through
the
spirit
of
grace
assisting
)
is
but
as
previous
and
preparatory
to
the
opening
of
a
justified
estate
,
and
the
New
Creature
in
Christ
;
that
(
if
God
will
)
your
consciences
may
be
brought
to
a
thorough
a
wakening
,
a
spiritual
sight
and
conviction
of
sin
,
and
a
self-emptyness
,
which
is
the
good
and
safe
way
of
a
Soul
to
Jesus
Christ
;
which
from
this
Scripture
take
,
in
these
plain
Observations
.
Obs.
1.
That
great
and
weighty
concernment
that
should
most
of
all
take
up
the
thoughts
of
the
hearts
of
poor
sinners
,
is
that
their
sins
may
be
pardoned
.
2.
Such
who
come
to
God
by
Jesus
Christ
,
to
have
their
sins
pardoned
,
they
look
upon
them
as
great
sins
.
—
for
it
is
Great
.
3.
The
great
reason
of
Gods
pardoning
a
sinner
,
and
the
Plea
that
a
poor
sinner
hath
with
God
,
is
,
that
God
will
pardon
for
his
own
Names
sake
.
1.
To
begin
with
the
first
proposition
,
viz.
That
great
and
weighty
thing
that
should
most
of
all
take
up
the
thoughts
of
the
hearts
of
all
the
Children
of
men
,
is
,
that
their
sins
may
be
pardoned
.
This
may
be
evinced
from
the
frame
of
blessed
David's
spirit
,
and
other
the
pardoned
ones
of
the
Lord
up
and
down
the
holy
Scriptures
,
exercised
with
such
a
violence
and
importunity
with
the
Lord
,
in
this
matter
of
the
Pardon
of
their
sins
,
as
if
they
had
no
other
thing
,
besides
what
conduced
thereunto
,
to
beg
of
God
in
the
world
,
and
all
that
God
gave
them
in
the
world
(
as
indeed
it
is
not
)
were
nothing
without
it
,
therefore
you
have
them
thus
wrestling
with
God
about
it
.
According
to
the
multitude
of
thy
tender
mercies
,
blot
out
my
trangressions
,
Psal.
51.1
.
If
there
be
any
mercy
in
Heaven
,
let
a
poor
guilty
soul
have
a
drop
of
it
;
yea
,
David
layeth
a
kind
of
violence
upon
God
,
Psal.
65.2
.
—
As
for
our
transgressions
,
thou
shalt
purge
them
away
,
thou
shalt
do
it
,
I
cannot
,
must
not
,
will
not
be
denyed
this
,
thou
shalt
do
it
for
me
.
So
Moses
interceding
for
the
people
,
Exod.
39.9
.
If
I
have
found
grace
in
thy
sight
,
O
Lord
,
let
my
Lord
,
I
pray
thee
,
go
amongst
us
,
(
for
it
is
a
stiff-necked
people
)
and
pardon
our
iniquity
and
our
sin
,
and
take
us
for
thine
Inheritance
;
with
what
vehemency
of
heart
doth
Moses
cry
,
if
I
have
any
favour
with
thee
,
let
it
be
laid
out
this
way
,
Oh
Lord
,
let
my
Lord
,
&c.
Otherwhiles
,
when
the
blessed
sense
of
a
pardoned
condition
is
upon
their
hearts
;
Blessed
is
he
whose
trangressions
is
forgiven
.
Blessed
man
,
or
woman
,
as
ever
he
was
born
!
Blessed
He
,
and
only
blessed
,
and
fully
blessed
,
and
for
ever
blessed
,
whose
sins
are
pardoned
!
And
then
admiring
the
blessed
God
in
such
riches
of
Grace
,
as
to
pardon
sinners
;
Who
is
like
to
thee
,
a
God
pardoning
iniquity
?
Mic.
7.18

Thou
art
a
God
ready
to
pardon
,
gracious
and
merciful

&c.

the

that
is
within
me
,
bless
his
holy
name
!
why
?
what
had
the
Lord
done
?
see
verse
3.
Oh
,
who
forgiveth
all
thine
iniquities
;
who
forgiveth
,
and
forgiveth
All
great
sins
a
well
as
less
;
sins
of
nature
as
well
as
life
;
sins
before
conversion
,
and
sins
since
conversion
;
sins
of
knowlege
,
as
well
as
of
ignorance
;
for
David
was
under
all
these
,
yet
All
,
All
,
All
,
forgiven
,
and
that
freely
too
,
only
because
the
Lord
is
gracious
,
verse
8.
and
so
forgiven
them
as
never
to
come
before
him
any
more
.
As
far
as
the
East
is
from
the
West
,
so
far
hath
he
removed
our
trangressions
from
us
,
verse
12.
I
shall
hint
some
Reasons
of
the
Truth
,
why
it
is
,
that
the
pardon
of
sins
doth
,
or
should
,
so
greatly
take
up
the
hearts
of
sinful
creatures
.
Reason
1.
The
pardon
of
sin
should
thus
greatly
take
up
the
hearts
of
all
that
indeed
expect
pardon
,
because
't
was
the
greatest
thing
(
if
I
may
so
speak
)
that
ever
took
up
Gods
heart
,
how
a
sinner
might
be
pardoned
.
He
laid
forth
more
of
his
wisdom
and
goodness
about
it
,
than
in
the
making
of
the
Heavens
and
the
Earth
:
The
framing
of
the
New
Covenant
,
the
giving
out
of
his
eternal
Son
Jesus
Christ
,
God
manifested
in
the
flesh
,
such
a
Glorious
way
of
reconciling
justice
and
mercy
through
the
death
of
Christ
,
(
the
choicest
piece
of
divine
Wisdom
that
ever
was
brought
forth
)
they
were
all
conversant
about
,
and
their
proper
tendency
was
about
this
great
and
weighty
concernment
,
how
,
and
that
a
sinner
might
be
pardoned
;
when
Moses
had
that
blessed
enterview
and
parley
with
the
Lord
,
Exod.
33.
&
34.
and
Moses
getting
nearer
and
nearer
to
God
,
who
was
glimpsing
out
a
ray
of
glory
upon
him
,
breaks
out
,
Show
me
thy
glory
:
I
will
,
saith
God
,
I
will
shew
thee
what
way
of
Glory
I
most
design
to
my self
among
the
Sons
of
men
,
—
I
will
be
gracious
to
whom
I
will
be
gracious
,
and
will
shew
mercy
on
whom
I
will
shew
mercy
.
And
as
if
this
had
not
been
enough
(
the
heart
of
the
blessed
God
was
so
infinitely
taken
with
it
)
Chap.
34.5
,
6.
The
Lord
comes
nearer
to
him
,
descended
in
a
Cloud
,
and
stood
with
him
there
;
and
as
if
meerly
to
have
spoken
what
he
had
before
said
to
Moses
,
Namely
,
That
he
should
have
mercy
,
had
not
been
enough
,
at
verse
6.
He
proclaims
it
,
and
makes
it
as
his
proper
Name
and
most
glorious
Title
,
The
Lord
,
the
Lord
God
,
Merciful
and
Gracious
,
&c.
verse
7.
forgiving
iniquity
,
&c.
As
if
forgiving
iniquity
were
the
great
design
of
glory
he
had
upon
the
world
;
his
heart
most
affected
and
taken
up
with
it
;
this
is
the
first
reason
;
poor
sinners
should
have
their
hearts
most
taken
up
about
the
pardon
of
sins
,
because
the
heart
of
the
infinite
wise
and
blessed
God
is
most
taken
up
about
it
.
2.
The
pardon
of
sin
should
so
greatly
take
up
the
heart
of
a
poor
guilty
sinner
,
because
Nothing
is
a
Blessing
to
a
man
till
his
sins
are
pardoned
,
but
All
a
curse
.
The
Scripture
is
well
known
that
proves
it
,
among
many
,
Deut.
28.15
,
16.
If
thou
wilt
not
hearken
unto
the
voice
of
the
Lord
thy
God
,
to
observe
to
do
all
his
Commandments
,
and
his
Statutes
which
I
command
thee
this
day
,
that
all
those
curses
shall
come
upon
thee
and
overtake
thee
,
Cursed
shalt
thou
be
in
the
City
,
and
cursed
shalt
thou
be
in
the
field
;
Cursed
shall
be
thy
basket
and
thy
Store
;
Cursed
shall
be
the
fruit
of
thy
body
,
and
the
fruit
of
thy
Land
,
the
encrease
of
thy
kine
,
and
the
flocks
of
thy
sheep
;
Cursed
shalt
thou
be
when
thou
comest
in
,
and
cursed
shalt
thou
be
when
thou
goest
out
,
the
Lord
shall
send
upon
thee
cursing
,
vexation
,
and
rebuke
in
all
that
thou
settest
thine
hand
for
to
do
,
&c.
Now
that
Soul
that
doth
not
hearken
to
the
voice
of
God
,
according
to
the
tenour
of
the
New
Covenant
,
to
come
unto
Jesus
Christ
,
to
have
his
sins
pardoned
,
to
have
the
spirit
given
him
to
walk
before
God
in
all
his
ways
,
is
in
an
unpardoned
condition
,
and
so
liable
to
all
these
curses
;
now
,
under
the
old
Testament
God
did
more
usually
come
forth
in
visible
stroaks
of
punishment
upon
outward
mercies
:
But
under
the
New
Testament
,
his
judgments
(
especially
upon
such
as
are
under
the
Gospel
)
are
more
spiritual
,
(
as
blessings
to
his
people
run
in
a
more
spiritual
way
)
as
in
cursing
them
with
hardness
and
blindness
of
heart
,
having
resisted
the
truth
,
but
yet
though
such
outward
curses
are
not
so
visibly
and
frequently
executed
,
(
though
sometimes
they
are
)
yet
unpardoned
unconverted
sinners
enjoy
not
their
outward
good
things
as
a
blessing
,
but
they
serve
but
to
further
their
damnation
,
if
their
hearts
are
not
(
through
infinite
grace
)
made
soft
,
and
turn
unto
the
Lord
,
that
they
may
be
pardoned
.
Now
,
to
have
outward
mercies
,
and
be
hardened
in
an
impenitent
estate
under
them
,
is
a
far
greater
curse
than
to
have
them
smitten
or
imbittered
from
the
Lord
,
though
with
the
heaviest
hand
.
This
is
the
2d
.
Reason
of
the
point
:
Every
thing
is
a
curse
,
(
while
such
)
to
an
unpardoned
sinner
;
therefore
't
is
of
the
greatest
weight
to
have
his
heart
taken
up
about
it
.
3.
The
person
of
an
unpardoned
sinner
is
hated
of
the
Lord
,
therefore
the
weight
of
it
is
very
great
,
Psal.
5.5
.
Thou
hatest
all
workers
of
iniquity
.
All
,
be
they
what
they
will
,
high
or
low
,
rich
or
poor
,
God
hates
them
;
and
while
they
are
workers
of
iniquity
,
they
are
certainly
unpardoned
;
what
they
may
be
in
the
decree
of
God
,
is
nothing
to
that
sinner
in
this
condition
:
While
he
is
a
worker
of
iniquity
,
he
hath
no
ground
for
any
other
apprehension
of
God
,
unless
he
turn
in
unto
him
;
now
,
what
a
dreadful
thing
is
it
,
to
be
hated
of
that
great
and
righteous
God
,
a
drop
of
whose
wrath
is
able
to
scortch
the
Soul
with
uspeakable
torment
;
yet
such
is
the
condition
of
a
wretched
unpardoned
sinner
;
therefore
't
is
his
great
concernment
to
look
to
it
,
&c.
4.
While
a
sinner
is
unpardoned
,
he
is
under
the
Law
.
What
that
is
,
I
shall
,
if
God
will
,
further
discover
;
he
stands
bound
over
to
the
most
exact
fulfilling
of
it
,
under
the
penalty
of
Hell
,
bound
to
make
God
satisfaction
to
the
utmost
,
upon
the
least
breach
;
and
being
under
transgression
of
it
,
is
under
wrath
and
condemnation
,
if
he
abide
so
,
without
Remedy
.
There
is
no
condemnation
to
them
that
are
in
Christ
Jesus
,
but
All
condemnation
to
those
that
are
out
of
Christ
Jesus
,
as
all
unpardoned
sinners
are
;
therefore
't
is
a
condition
above
all
others
to
be
weighed
and
considered
,
and
not
to
be
rested
in
one
moment
.
5.
Neither
the
Prayers
,
nor
Alms
,
nor
any
other
duty
of
an
unpardoned
sinner
,
are
at
all
accepted
with
the
Lord
.
This
wretched
sinners
will
not
admit
of
,
but
think
if
they
perform
any
duty
to
God
,
he
accepts
of
it
,
and
that
indeed
it
makes
an
attonement
for
their
sins
;
take
that
one
eminent
place
in
Isa.
1.15
.
Though
you
make
many
prayers
,
yet
I
will
not
hear
you
;
mark
it
,
you
that
think
because
you
make
,
or
say
,
as
you
style
it
,
many
good
prayers
,
sure
God
hears
you
;
No
,
saith
God
,
I
will
not
hear
;
why
?
see
verse
16.
they
were
not
washed
from
their
sins
,
therefore
the
Prophet
calls
them
to
come
to
the
Lord
,
that
they
might
be
pardoned
,
verse
38.
'T
is
true
,
when
a
poor
sinner
hath
his
heart
smitten
for
sin
,
and
comes
to
the
Lord
,
upon
the
account
of
promises
of
grace
and
pardon
through
Jesus
Christ
,
with
full
purpose
of
heart
to
cleave
unto
the
Lord
,
and
so
begs
for
pardon
,
and
all
things
that
do
accompany
pardon
and
salvation
,
then
God
hears
his
cryes
at
the
very
first
breathing
of
his
soul
,
Lam.
3.56
.
but
not
till
then
doth
God
regard
the
multitude
of
his
Prayers
,
Alms
,
Worship
,
Keeping
conscience
to
men
;
therefore
certainly
if
nothing
be
accepted
with
God
,
till
in
a
pardoned
condition
,
such
an
estate
requires
great
and
deep
thoughts
of
heart
of
it
.
6.
Upon
all
this
,
it
will
follow
,
That
an
unpardoned
sinner
will
have
no
other
word
from
the
Lord
Jesus
Christ
at
his
coming
,
but
go
ye
cursed
;
Everlasting
darkness
,
and
wrath
,
and
woes
,
and
all
misery
must
be
his
portion
for
ever
.
If
he
dye
in
his
sins
,
Joh.
8.29
.
his
soul
must
be
eternally
damned
,
without
all
remedy
;
Live
and
dye
unpardoned
,
and
be
damned
unpardoned
:
When
Jesus
Christ
shall
come
,
neither
he
himself
,
nor
Saint
,
nor
Angel
,
will
or
can
speak
one
word
,
for
a
soul
that
dyes
unpardoned
;
though
the
soul
screek
out
for
a
drop
of
mercy
,
it
will
be
answered
with
nothing
but
the
Ecchoes
of
the
screekings
of
other
desperate
souls
,
ready
to
be
hurled
with
it
into
the
same
everlasting
burnings
;
no
eye
to
pitty
there
,
though
Ministers
and
Saints
did
warn
,
invite
,
weep
,
mourn
,
pity
,
when
on
this
side
the
grave
,
yet
at
the
great
Judgment
it
will
not
be
so
.
No
,
nothing
but
upbraiding
of
Devils
,
for
neglecting
Gospel-Grace
,
and
refusing
the
terms
of
pardon
,
and
for
gross
security
;
this
will
be
the
portion
of
every
unpardoned
sinner
,
that
neglects
the
day
of
his
salvation
;
therefore
the
pardon
of
sins
requires
the
deepest
thoughts
of
heart
,
and
can
never
be
made
too
sure
to
a
poor
sinful
Creature
.
Vse
1.
Is
the
pardon
of
sin
be
of
so
great
and
infinite
weight
,
how
doth
this
meet
with
the
wretched
deplorable
carelesnefs
of
a
world
of
souls
in
this
day
,
that
think
of
nothing
less
than
whether
their
sins
are
pardoned
,
that
will
hear
of
nothing
that
may
call
this
great
matter
into
question
,
or
may
awaken
them
to
it
,
Oh
how
many
poor
souls
,
I
fear
too
many
of
you
,
(
though
so
often
and
earnestly
prest
to
it
)
that
were
never
before
the
Lord
mourning
after
the
pardon
of
your
sins
?
What
a
light
matter
would
it
be
to
be
pardoned
,
if
there
should
be
no
more
in
it
,
nor
care
about
it
,
than
most
sinners
,
that
call
themselves
Christians
,
make
about
it
:
Ah
sinners
,
why
do
you
make
no
more
adoe
,
no
more
matter
of
it
?
why
so
sensless
of
that
,
which
is
alone
worthy
all
the
thoughts
of
thy
heart
?
if
thou
shouldst
live
a
million
of
years
to
dispatch
this
one
thing
,
to
get
thy
sins
all
pardoned
.
You
that
are
Elderly
people
have
a
large
reckoning
,
especially
upon
your
account
of
sinning
against
Gospel-light
and
grace
;
make
haste
,
what
you
do
,
do
quickly
,
lay
hold
on
eternal
life
,
the
sun
is
ready
to
set
upon
you
,
and
wo
with
you
,
as
ever
you
were
men
and
women
,
if
you
fail
of
a
good
and
sure
dispatch
of
this
one
concernable
thing
,
that
your
sins
are
pardoned
;
And
you
that
are
younger
,
take
heed
least
the
day
of
grace
set
upon
you
,
and
you
be
given
up
to
your
own
hearts
lusts
,
and
no
word
that
is
spoken
from
God
or
Man
shall
ever
reach
you
:
Oh
,
tremble
at
trifling
with
convictions
and
light
,
but
begin
to
honour
the
Lord
Jesus
,
and
bow
unto
him
,
and
wait
for
the
promised
effusion
of
his
spirit
,
and
the
joy
of
the
Lord
shall
be
the
joy
of
your
youth
,
and
the
Love
of
the
Lord
will
be
very
sweet
and
precious
to
you
.
2d
.
Exhort
.
Oh
then
let
every
soul
of
us
be
deeply
affected
with
this
weighty
matter
;
let
your
souls
say
within
you
,
Oh
the
dreadfulness
of
an
unpardoned
condition
!
what
tongue
can
express
it
?
to
have
all
my
store
,
(
little
or
much
,
)
house
,
corn
,
cattle
,
trade
,
all
under
a
curse
,
and
enjoy
it
as
a
curse
,
and
only
to
further
my
eternal
damnation
!
to
be
hated
of
the
great
God
,
and
not
loved
,
to
be
under
all
the
condemnation
of
the
Law
!
wherever
I
read
of
wrath
and
wo
,
it
belongs
to
me
;
to
have
not
one
of
my
prayers
,
nor
any
thing
else
,
accepted
of
the
Lord
!
to
be
in
a
condition
of
expecting
nothing
from
Jesus
Christ
at
his
coming
,
but
go
go
ye
cursed
;
when
I
shall
see
so
many
blessed
souls
that
took
pains
for
Heaven
,
enter
into
the
Kingdom
,
and
my self
shut
out
!
Wo
is
me
,
if
I
speak
peace
to
my
soul
in
such
an
estate
one
moment
more
;
Awake
my
soul
,
Awake
!
Away
,
in
to
the
blessed
God
,
for
mercy
,
pardon
,
grace
,
Christ
,
his
blood
,
spirit
,
holiness
,
eternal
life
;
I
will
go
,
(
the
Lord
helping
me
)
and
cry
in
the
bitterness
of
my
soul
for
them
all
;
and
if
't
were
possibe
to
weary
the
Lord
with
the
cryes
of
my
poor
soul
,
I
will
do
it
,
till
he
have
mercy
upon
me
,
and
bid
me
go
in
peace
;
the
Gracious
God
shall
as
hardly
deny
me
,
as
ever
he
did
any
poor
sinner
that
lay
bleeding
at
his
feet
for
mercy
and
grace
from
Heaven
,
to
heal
a
poor
condemned
soul
;
Oh
what
have
I
been
doing
in
the
world
all
this
while
?
get
a
little
something
,
and
my
sins
unpardoned
;
in
daily
danger
of
dying
in
them
,
and
so
be
lost
without
all
remedy
for
ever
;
Oh!
such
will
be
the
great
thoughts
of
heart
about
the
pardon
of
sins
,
when
the
Lord
shall
speak
to
a
poor
sinner
,
and
the
Conscience
shall
be
throughly
awake
about
it
.
Oh!
let
me
yet
in
the
name
of
the
Lord
,
argue
out
this
matter
with
thee
.
Be
serious
for
once
,
and
ponder
it
in
thy
heart
,
what
is
health
or
wealth
?
what
is
it
to
have
something
about
thee
in
the
world
,
and
lay
up
yearly
,
and
thou
go
deeper
in
debt
with
the
just
God
every
day
?
What
if
all
the
world
be
at
Peace
with
thee
,
and
God
thy
enemy
,
and
hate
thee
,
as
thou
hast
been
shewed
?
What
if
all
the
world
say
of
thee
,
Blessed
,
if
God
,
and
his
holy
Word
of
truth
,
pronounce
thee
Cursed
,
because
thy
sins
lye
upon
thy
soul
,
and
the
Spirit
of
grace
is
not
upon
thee
?
Ah!
poor
Creature
,
do
not
,
do
not
let
thy
sins
lye
upon
thy
precious
soul
any
longer
,
do
not
be
contented
to
be
a
child
of
Gods
wrath
any
longer
;
Oh!
do
not
thou
,
poor
careless
soul
,
if
there
be
a
spark
of
pity
in
thee
;
Do
not
,
as
the
Devil
flatters
,
rest
in
this
,
and
say
I
hope
better
,
and
I
hope
't
is
better
with
me
,
and
I
hope
I
am
or
shall
be
pardoned
,
and
so
fall
asleep
till
thou
drop
into
Hell
.
You
that
think
it
an
easie
common
matter
to
be
pardoned
,
know
not
what
it
is
,
you
have
yet
no
part
in
this
blessedness
.
Saith
a
poor
convicted
soul
,
1.
'T
is
a
great
matter
that
any
sinner
in
the
world
is
pardoned
,
much
more
such
a
one
as
I
,
if
ever
I
attain
to
it
.
2.
Souls
that
get
pardon
,
do
make
it
their
greatest
care
to
be
assured
of
it
,
they
do
not
leave
the
matter
at
sixes
and
sevens
,
and
put
it
off
with
bidding
the
heart
hope
well
,
but
they
labour
after
a
Gospel
-
assurance
of
it
.
3.
Such
Souls
will
labour
to
see
that
nothing
be
wanting
that
must
accompany
pardon
of
sin
,
and
a
state
of
salvation
,
Heb.
6.9
.
4.
They
try
all
their
pretenees
to
pardon
and
grace
over
and
over
;
and
will
take
nothing
upon
trust
from
their
hearts
,
or
the
Devils
flatteries
,
or
the
flatteries
of
carnal
Ministers
;
but
search
and
prove
,
and
lay
their
hearts
under
the
Word
and
Spirit
,
till
it
be
sealed
by
the
Holy
Ghost
,
and
that
they
are
wrought
of
God
for
this
self
same
thing
,
and
that
he
hath
given
them
the
Earnest
of
the
Spirit
,
2
Cor.
5.5
.
Well
therefore
say
in
thy
heart
,
in
good
earnest
,
Oh!
it
hath
not
been
so
with
me
,
I
have
been
careless
,
I
thought
well
of
my self
,
I
ne're
questioned
this
weighty
matter
to
purpose
.
Oh!
the
Lord
give
me
grace
,
to
take
pains
in
the
use
of
means
,
to
be
violent
for
Heaven
.
Oh!
I
will
not
rest
(
Oh!
let
me
not
)
till
I
am
assured
indeed
that
my
,
my
sins
are
done
away
,
and
Christ
is
mine
:
Go
,
and
say
,
and
do
it
,
and
the
God
of
all
grace
and
might
be
with
thee
in
it
.
But
yet
further
to
press
the
weight
of
this
matter
upon
thy
Conscience
,
that
thou
mayest
go
off
thoroughly
convinced
,
and
resolved
to
pursue
effectually
the
compassing
of
this
so
great
a
blessing
,
of
getting
thy
soul
in
a
pardoned
estate
,
Do
but
weigh
with
me
the
matchless
blessedness
of
such
a
condition
,
and
methinks
thy
heart
should
not
but
be
taken
with
it
.
1.
The
first
is
,
Peace
with
God
,
Jesus
Christ
having
made
Peace
,
Rom.
5.1
.
Col.
1.20
.
2.
Consider
,
Pardoned
souls
become
the
dear
Children
of
God
,
see
Eph.
1.5
.
&c.
Having
predestinated
us
unto
the
Adoption
of
Children
by
Jesus
Christ
unto
himself
,
according
to
the
good
pleasure
of
his
Will
,
to
the
praise
of
the
glory
of
his
Grace
,
wherein
he
hath
made
us
accepted
in
the
beloved
;
in
whom
we
have
Redemption
through
his
blood
,
the
forgiveness
of
sins
,
&c.
The
glorious
grace
of
Adoption
comes
in
upon
the
forgiveness
of
sins
;
therefore
Chap.
5.1
.
the
Apostle
further
hints
this
so
blessed
a
priviledge
;
Be
ye
followers
of
God
,
as
dear
Children
;
and
Gal.
4.5
.
the
Apostle
gives
it
out
as
the
great
and
blessed
fruit
of
Redemption
,
—
that
we
might
receive
the
Adoption
of
Sons
.
Oh!
to
be
translated
from
being
amongst
the
children
of
wrath
,
to
be
numbered
among
the
dear
Children
of
God
,
to
come
under
the
protection
,
care
,
tender
love
of
God
,
as
a
Father
,
What
soul
would
not
be
restless
till
he
attain
unto
it
?
3.
Pardoned
souls
have
access
to
God
,
Eph.
2.18
,
12.
In
whom
we
have
boldness
and
access
,
with
confidence
,
by
the
faith
of
him
,
Heb.
4.16
.
Let
us
therefore
come
boldly
unto
the
throne
of
grace
,
that
we
may
obtain
mercy
,
and
find
grace
to
help
in
time
of
need
.
This
is
the
blessedness
of
pardoned
souls
,
they
have
free
access
to
God
,
as
a
Child
to
a
Father
,
to
speak
,
and
plead
with
the
Lord
:
As
soon
as
ever
they
come
before
the
Lord
,
they
are
admitted
into
his
presence
,
and
God's
eye
and
ear
is
towards
them
,
and
they
have
their
requests
,
either
in
kind
,
or
a
better
thing
given
to
them
.
This
is
another
inestimable
good
of
blessed
pardoned
souls
.
4.
As
they
are
Gods
dear
Children
,
and
have
free
access
to
him
;
so
when
once
he
hath
freely
and
fully
pardoned
them
,
he
loves
them
with
an
infinite
,
unmixt
,
unchangeable
Love
:
Behold
what
manner
of
love
is
this
,
&c.
1
John
3.1
.
The
Lord
doth
freely
let
out
love
,
full
love
,
to
his
pardoned
ones
,
as
if
they
had
never
sinned
,
because
he
never
looks
upon
them
out
of
Christ
;
when
God
takes
a
poor
sinner
to
himself
,
he
doth
not
barely
and
meerly
pardon
him
,
and
save
him
from
wrath
,
and
no
more
,
(
as
earthly
Princes
pardon
many
whom
they
love
not
)
but
God
sets
his
Love
upon
them
,
as
it
can
never
enter
into
his
heart
to
hate
them
:
He
that
loveth
me
,
saith
Christ
,
shall
be
loved
of
my
Father
,
Joh.
14.21
.
And
if
God
afflict
them
,
't
is
to
make
them
better
,
more
like
unto
himself
,
to
bestow
more
grace
upon
them
,
Heb.
12.10
.
and
Gods
Love
to
his
blessed
children
is
like
himself
,
infinite
,
unmixt
,
everlasting
.
This
is
another
infinite
blessing
of
pardoned
souls
,
to
be
thus
loved
by
their
God
.
5.
Pardoned
souls
are
brought
into
a
justified
state
,
from
which
they
shall
never
fall
.
Thus
runs
the
tenour
of
the
new
Covenant
,
the
bottom
of
all
this
blessedness
;
I
will
remember
their
sins
no
more
,
Heb.
8.12
.
—
No
more
,
Words
of
a
sweet
and
blessed
sound
to
whom
they
are
spoken
by
the
Holy
Ghost
,
that
when
poor
souls
that
have
come
to
Jesus
Christ
in
a
Gospel
way
,
for
pardon
,
and
have
pleaded
,
and
taken
hold
of
promises
of
grace
for
that
end
,
and
yet
sometimes
unbelief
is
stirring
.
Oh!
will
not
God
,
one
time
or
other
,
call
back
to
remembrance
all
my
former
iniquities
,
and
charge
them
upon
me
?
No
,
saith
the
Lord
,
it
shall
never
enter
into
my
heart
,
I
will
remember
them
No
More
;
Blessed
words
,
and
blest
condition
indeed
.
Ah!
who
would
be
without
it
?
6.
Pardoned
souls
shall
be
kept
in
the
hand
of
the
Lord
in
all
their
ways
,
1
Pet.
1.5
.
His
Love
,
Fear
,
Laws
,
Power
,
Spirit
,
shall
be
in
their
hearts
,
that
they
shall
not
fall
from
him
,
Jer.
82.40
.
And
I
will
make
an
everlasting
Covenant
with
them
,
that
I
will
not
turn
away
from
them
to
do
them
good
;
but
I
will
put
my
fear
in
their
hearts
,
that
they
shall
not
depart
from
me
;
He
preserveth
the
souls
of
his
Saints
,
he
keepeth
the
feet
of
his
Saints
,
Psal.
97.10
.
1
Sam.
2.9
.
for
their
good
,
Rom.
1.28
.
And
if
they
fall
,
the
Lord
humbles
them
,
heals
them
,
takes
them
up
again
,
puts
new
strength
into
them
,
and
his
kindness
must
not
depart
from
them
,
&c.
7.
Pardoned
souls
are
Gods
Heirs
;
Gal.
4.7
.
Rom.
8.15
.
&c.
Heirs
of
God
through
Christ
,
and
joynt-heirs
with
Christ
;
Heirs
of
all
his
Promises
of
an
incorruptible
inheritance
that
never
fadeth
away
,
reserved
in
Heaven
for
them
.
1
Pet.
1.9
.
Though
the
Lord
give
them
no
inheritance
of
earthly
possessions
,
yet
they
are
his
special
Heirs
of
the
heavenly
inheritance
.
Not
the
poorest
believer
in
the
world
,
but
may
say
with
a
heart
full
of
blessed
and
humble
rejoycing
,
Though
I
am
worthless
in
my self
,
and
am
so
accounted
in
the
world
,
yet
through
infinite
grace
,
I
am
one
of
the
richest
Heirs
in
the
world
,
a
Co-heir
with
Christ
,
of
an
exeeeding
eternal
weight
of
glory
.

than
is
or
can
be
named
,
be
the
blessedness
of
pardoned
souls
,
Ah!
what
poor
secure
sinner
(
that
must
also
be
everlastingly
damned
without
it
)
would
miss
of
it
?
Say
,
sinner
,
instead
of
being
cursed
,
hated
,
damned
,
and
that
for
ever
,
(
for
as
is
mercy
and
love
to
pardoned
ones
,
so
is
to
such
as
miss
of
it
,
for
ever
)
I
say
,
instead
of
that
,
which
any
heart
but
what
is
plagued
with
hardness
,
would
melt
and
tremble
at
,
to
become
a
dear
child
of
God
,
and
have
free
access
to
God
,
be
loved
of
God
,
for
ever
justified
,
no
sin
for
ever
remembred
against
thee
,
every
thing
befall
thee
for
good
,
and
be
an
Heir
of
God
,
and
be
even
as
blessed
as
God
can
make
thee
,
and
that
for
ever
.
Ah!
where
's
the
sinner
that
would
be
without
this
?
Who
would
slight
that
word
of
the
Lord
that
would
teach
you
,
and
lead
you
to
this
blessedness
?
Who
would
despise
,
or
neglect
the
day
of
grace
,
now
while
within
the
reach
of
it
?
who
would
run
a
dreadful
hazard
of
being
given
up
of
God
,
if
you
thus
trifle
with
Gospel-salvation
?
Ah!
the
good
Lord
pity
you
that
do
thus
;
you
are
fit
to
be
mourned
over
,
had
we
hearts
to
do
it
,
with
tears
of
blood
.
Yet
once
more
,
Awake
,
awake
,
you
careless
ones
,
before
your
bodies
drop
into
the
grave
,
and
souls
into
hell
.
Oh!
do
not
,
do
not
take
pleasure
in
soul-murder
;
do
not
put
off
the
one
,
only
,
main
,
necessary
work
,
and
leave
it
undone
,
till
it
may
be
impossible
to
have
it
done
.
Tell
me
in
good
earnest
,
canst
thou
well
be
without
the
pardon
of
thy
sins
here
and
for
ever
?
Soul
,
thou
may'st
well
enough
be
without
much
Land
,
and
much
Money
,
and
many
great
friends
,
and
yet
be
well
,
exceeding
well
contented
,
nay
,
better
,
if
thou
hast
Christ
and
Grace
,
than
with
them
.
But
say
,
canst
thou
,
canst
thou
well
be
without
the
pardon
of
thy
sins
?
Canst
thou
well
live
and
dye
hated
by
the
great
and
righteous
God
?
Canst
thou
well
be
where
the
fire
it
never
quenched
,
and
the
worm
never
dyes
?
Say
,
canst
thou
well
miss
the
presence
of
the
ever
blessed
God
to
all
eternity
?
Are
damned
screeking
Spirits
good
company
for
ever
and
ever
?
Away
,
away
sinner
to
the
blessed
God
,
betake
thy self
(
put
it
not
off
an
hour
longer
)
to
crying
,
repenting
,
mourning
to
God
for
free
pardon
,
for
Christ
,
for
the
Spirit
,
and
look
up
to
the
Lord
to
give
thee
a
heart
to
do
it
,
wait
humbly
,
and
carefully
on
the
Gospel
of
Grace
preached
;
and
yet
though
thou
hast
hitherto
been
idle
,
thou
mayest
attain
unto
this
blessedness
,
as
well
as
the
blessedst
Saint
in
the
world
,
if
thou
wilt
be
serious
,
diligent
,
earnest
,
(
as
so
weighty
a
matter
requires
)
about
it
.
The
good
Lord
give
thee
a
heart
to
do
it
.
2.
Do
not
rest
in
false
Evidences
,
false
hopes
of
pardon
.
Many
sinners
might
seem
to
have
got
pardon
,
and
gone
well
to
Heaven
,
if
they
had
not
vainly
and
foolishly
hoped
so
.
Oh
rest
in
nothing
,
and
never
rest
without
it
(
as
I
have
pressed
thee
in
love
)
till
thou
canst
say
,
from
a
well
grounded
Gospel-evidence
,
wrought
forth
with
fear
and
trembling
.
Now
I
have
the
blessedness
that
accompanies
pardoned
souls
:
Now
,
oh
now
(
rejoyce
with
me
blessed
souls
)
I
am
,
I
am
a
Child
of
God
,
I
have
access
to
the
blessed
God
,
and
my
soul
pleads
with
him
every
day
.
Ah
,
now
God
,
my
God
doth
love
me
:
Now
I
am
justified
,
in
a
state
of
Justification
,
from
which
my
God
will
never
let
me
fall
.
Ah
,
my
sins
,
though
great
,
shall
be
remembred
no
more
,
no
more
;
I
shall
be
kept
,
safely
kept
,
in
all
my
ways
;
if
I
fall
,
the
Lord
will
take
me
up
,
and
I
shall
not
utterly
fall
;
however
it
is
,
or
may
be
with
me
as
to
the
world
,
and
the
things
of
it
,
I
am
rich
(
though
poor
,
worthless
,
nothing
in
my self
,
)
with
all
the
riches
,
unsearchable
riches
of
my
Christ
,
I
am
an
Heir
of
God
,
I
need
nothing
,
Oh
,
the
sweetness
,
peace
,
joy
,
contentment
,
Heaven
of
such
a
blest
,
and
for
ever
blest
condition
!
Now
tell
me
sinner
,
(
and
let
it
stick
with
thee
till
thou
art
got
well
to
Heaven
)
is
not
,
is
not
the
pardon
of
thy
sins
the
work
of
the
greatest
weight
before
thee
on
this
side
the
grave
?
which
is
that
I
first
promised
thee
to
prove
to
thy
Conscience
from
the
first
Observation
.
3.
I
might
hence
insist
to
stir
up
poor
souls
,
who
have
been
awake
for
Heaven
,
and
have
been
,
and
are
crying
and
waiting
for
the
pardon
of
your
sins
,
to
be
in
this
matter
with
all
your
might
,
because
you
see
't
is
wonderfully
weighty
and
concernable
to
you
,
beyond
all
imaginations
;
get
your
doubts
,
and
fears
,
and
misgivings
of
heart
well
removed
;
see
from
whence
your
doubts
do
arise
,
and
follow
them
home
to
your
hearts
,
and
then
be
with
the
Lord
much
,
and
in
his
Word
and
Ordinances
,
till
the
Lord
make
it
clear
day
in
thy
Soul
,
and
thou
walk
in
a
sweet
spirit
of
Adoption
before
him
.
4.
Let
pardoned
ones
,
whom
it
doth
cost
much
,
as
to
means
to
get
it
made
good
to
you
,
make
much
of
your
comfort
,
and
do
not
Trisse
it
,
nor
sin
it
away
;
and
keep
the
sense
of
a
pardoned
condition
warm
and
lively
upon
your
spirits
,
and
then
you
will
love
the
Lord
much
,
Luke
7.47
.
Lord
,
thou
hast
forgiven
much
,
as
much
as
to
any
;
Oh
,
let
me
,
let
me
love
,
love
much
,
very
much
.
Conviction
of
sin
and
self-emptiness
.
THe
second
Consideration
we
observed
from
the
words
,
and
proposed
to
be
opened
,
was
this
;
Obs.
2.
Such
who
come
to
God
to
have
their
sins
pardoned
,
they
look
upon
them
as
great
sins
.
Pardon
mine
iniquity
,
for
it
is
great
,
&c.
The
Original
word
as
well
signifies
Many
,
as
Great
,
my
sins
are
great
and
many
;
many
great
sins
lye
upon
me
,
pardon
,
Oh
pardon
them
,
Oh
Lord
,
&c.
Thus
you
have
this
blessed
man
David
in
several
Psalms
,
aggravating
his
sin
,
Psal.
38.4
.
Mine
iniquities
are
gone
over
my
head
,
and
are
a
burden
too
heavy
for
me
to
bear
;
against
thee
only
have
I
sinned
,
Psal.
51.
So
blessed
Paul
,
Jesus
Christ
came
into
the
world
to
save
sinners
,
whereof
I
am
the
chief
;
that
sin
by
the
commandment
might
become
exceeding
sinful
,
Rom.
7.13
.
So
Peter
at
the
first
Glimpse
of
Christ
,
and
a
word
from
him
,
falls
upon
his
knees
,
crys
out
,
Depart
from
me
,
for
I
am
a
sinful
man
,
&c.
Luke
5.8
.
So
the
Publican
,
God
be
merciful
to
me
a
sinner
,
agreat
,
vile
sinner
,
nothing
else
but
a
sinner
:
So
the
Prodigal
,
Father
,
I
have
sinned
against
Heaven
,
and
in
thy
sight
,
&c.
Luke
18.13
.
&
15.21
.
In
the
opening
of
this
Point
,
first
I
would
shew
,
Why
,
such
as
come
in
a
right
way
for
pardon
,
do
look
upon
their
sins
as
great
sins
.
1.
How
they
come
to
see
them
so
.
2.
When
a
sinner
may
be
said
to
have
seen
his
sins
so
great
as
a
pardoned
soul
should
do
.
1.
Sinners
that
come
to
God
for
pardon
and
find
it
,
do
look
upon
their
sins
as
great
sins
,
because
against
a
great
God
,
great
in
power
,
great
in
justice
,
great
in
holiness
;
I
am
a
worm
,
and
yet
sin
,
and
that
boldly
,
against
a
God
so
great
;
for
a
worm
to
lift
up
himself
against
a
great
and
infinite
God
;
Oh
this
makes
every
little
sin
great
,
and
calls
for
great
vengeance
from
so
great
a
God
.
2.
Because
they
have
sinned
against
great
patience
,
despising
the
goodness
,
forbearance
,
and
long-suffering
of
God
,
which
is
call'd
treasuring
up
of
wrath
,
Rom.
2.4
,
5.
Oh
,
saith
a
poor
abased
sinner
at
Gods
feet
,
How
have
I
wearied
the
patience
of
God!
I
have
not
wearied
thee
,
saith
God
,
but
thou
hast
been
weary
of
me
,
and
hast
made
me
to
serve
with
thy
sins
,
and
wearied
me
with
thine
iniquities
,
Isa.
43.23
,
24.
Oh
,
this
is
an
humbling
and
heart-breaking
word
to
a
poor
soul
before
the
Lord
;
this
makes
his
sin
appear
great
indeed
.
I
have
wearied
the
blessed
God
with
my
sin
,
and
yet
he
calls
upon
me
that
he
may
pardon
me
,
ver.
25.
of
the
same
Chapter
.
This
greatens
sin
to
purpose
,
to
a
poor
soul
that
hath
abused
much
patience
.
3.
Sins
do
appear
great
,
because
against
great
mercies
.
Oh
,
against
how
many
mercies
and
kindnesses
do
sinners
sin
against
,
and
turn
all
the
mercies
of
God
into
sin
!
Oh
,
saith
a
poor
soul
,
drawing
near
to
God
,
I
turned
all
the
mercies
of
the
Lord
against
him
,
took
his
mercies
and
fought
against
him
with
them
,
and
served
the
Devil
and
my
lusts
with
them
;
if
God
will
come
and
account
with
me
for
them
,
how
shall
I
answer
him
?
4.
That
which
greatens
sin
in
the
eyes
of
poor
sinners
that
cry
for
pardon
,
is
,
that
they
have
sinned
against
great
light
,
light
in
the
Conscience
;
this
heightens
sin
exceedingly
,
especially
to
such
as
are
under
Gospel-means
,
and
is
indeed
the
sin
of
all
in
this
Nation
;
there
's
nothing
more
abaseth
a
soul
than
this
,
nothing
makes
it
more
difficult
to
believe
pardon
,
when
humbled
for
it
;
therefore
't
is
,
that
many
poor
souls
fear
that
they
have
sinn'd
the
unpardonable
sin
against
the
Holy
Ghost
,
because
they
have
sinned
against
knowledge
and
light
,
which
though
while
they
are
humbled
before
the
Lord
,
it
cannot
be
that
they
have
so
sinned
unpardonably
;
yet
in
as
much
as
't
is
the
sin
that
borders
next
upon
the
sin
against
the
Holy
Ghost
,
it
much
greatens
sin
to
a
poor
soul
under
the
sense
of
it
.
Such
a
sinner
is
said
to
reproach
the
Lord
,
Numb.
15.30
,
31.
Therefore
to
him
that
knoweth
to
do
good
,
and
doth
it
not
,
to
him
it
is
sin
;
James
4.
last
.
To
him
it
is
sin
,
that
is
great
sin
,
of
which
God
will
take
the
severest
account
:
Therefore
such
as
have
the
Profession
of
Christianity
,
and
the
knowledge
of
the
Word
in
some
measure
,
and
yet
go
on
impenitently
in
sin
,
they
are
the
greatest
sinners
in
the
world
,
and
will
have
the
greatest
damnation
;
and
this
circumstance
in
sin
makes
,
or
should
do
so
,
such
souls
that
never
lived
in
notorious
sins
,
be
under
deep
abasement
,
because
,
though
their
Sins
were
not
so
gross
as
many
others
,
yet
they
were
against
great
light
and
knowledge
,
which
makes
every
little
sin
continued
in
great
in
the
account
of
God
,
and
great
in
the
account
of
the
sinner
,
when
he
comes
before
the
Lord
in
the
sense
of
it
.
Oh
,
I
pleased
my self
in
sins
that
I
knew
to
be
sins
,
and
was
convinced
by
the
Word
of
God
of
them
,
yet
I
went
on
,
and
loved
them
.
5.
Continuance
in
sin
,
much
greatens
sin
to
a
poor
soul
,
that
is
,
after
pardon
;
especially
such
as
are
not
very
early
converted
.
God
will
wound
the
hairy
scalp
of
such
a
one
that
goeth
on
still
in
his
trespasses
,
Psal.
68.21
.
Oh
,
I
added
sin
unto
sin
,
saith
a
poor
soul
,
spending
the
choice
time
of
my
youth
in
sin
,
when
I
might
have
been
getting
the
knowledge
of
Jesus
Christ
,
and
honouring
of
God
.
This
lay
close
upon
David's
spirit
,
as
appears
in
this
25th
.
Psal.
7.
Oh
remember
not
the
sins
of
youth
,
&c.
Yet
we
do
not
find
that
David's
youth
was
notoriously
sinful
;
but
in
as
much
as
he
spent
not
his
youth
to
get
knowledge
,
and
to
serve
the
Lord
fully
,
't
was
his
burden
and
complaint
before
the
Lord
;
much
more
such
whose
youth
was
spent
in
nothing
but
vanity
,
prophaneness
,
lying
,
swearing
,
prophaning
of
the
Sabbath
,
sports
,
past-times
,
excess
of
riot
,
and
the
like
,
when
God
lays
it
in
upon
their
Consciences
,
must
be
greivous
and
abominable
to
their
souls
.
6.
Multitudes
of
sins
do
make
sin
appear
great
,
this
made
David
cry
out
for
multitude
of
mercies
,
Psal.
51.
and
Psal.
40.12
.
Innumerable
evils
have
compassed
me
about
,
mine
iniquities
have
taken
hold
upon
me
,
so
that
I
am
not
able
to
look
;
they
are
more
than
the
hairs
of
my
head
,
therefore
my
heart
faileth
me
.
One
sin
,
but
a
sinful
thought
,
is
worthy
of
a
thousand
Hells
,
much
more
,
multiplyed
,
numberless
,
infinite
sins
,
in
thought
,
words
,
walkings
,
calling
,
worship
,
in
all
I
have
done
,
I
did
nothing
else
but
sin
:
Therefore
the
least
sinner
in
the
world
is
a
great
sinner
,
when
God
lays
his
account
before
him
.
7.
Another
thing
that
greatens
sin
is
,
that
it
was
against
purposes
and
resolutions
of
forsaking
such
and
such
sins
;
and
yet
all
broken
,
sometimes
against
solemn
vows
,
against
prayers
:
This
consideration
upon
many
a
poor
soul
sticks
hard
,
and
lays
low
,
and
makes
his
sin
grievous
indeed
,
that
against
purposes
,
vows
,
prayers
,
he
should
return
to
his
sin
;
this
makes
him
cry
out
,
Oh
my
sin
is
great
,
great
indeed
;
Doth
,
will
the
Lord
pardon
such
a
Wretch
?
&c.
8.
Sin
appears
great
,
when
seen
by
a
poor
soul
,
because
it
was
reigning
sin
,
Rom.
5.
&
6.
Sin
reigned
to
death
,
&c.
Oh
,
saith
a
poor
humbled
sinner
,
I
did
not
only
commit
sin
,
but
I
was
the
servant
and
slave
of
sin
,
I
obey'd
sin
as
a
Lord
,
and
that
willingly
,
I
obey'd
it
in
the
lusts
thereof
;
where
God
,
Christ
,
his
Spirit
,
Word
,
Law
,
should
have
dwelt
and
reigned
,
there
sin
and
lusts
bore
sway
,
and
had
the
command
of
my
soul
.
A
little
sin
when
a
reigning
sin
,
is
a
great
sin
.
All
that
sin
can
do
,
is
but
to
rule
the
sinner
,
and
so
it
doth
the
least
sinner
that
is
under
it
,
though
it
break
not
forth
into
gross
notorious
actings
against
the
Lord
,
and
this
doth
much
greaten
it
.
9.
Sin
in
the
fountain
makes
it
great
:
As
it
may
be
said
,
there
is
more
water
in
the
fountain
,
than
in
the
pools
and
streams
it
makes
;
because
there
is
a
continual
issuing
and
flowing
out
of
it
,
which
is
able
to
make
far
greater
streams
:
So
in
the
nature
,
in
the
heart
,
is
there
as
in
the
fountain
,
and
therefore
't
is
more
there
than
in
the
breakings
forth
of
it
in
the
outward
man
;
so
that
,
though
a
sinner
in
his
youth
hath
been
restrained
from
many
great
sins
,
yet
in
as
much
as
sin
in
the
fountain
was
as
full
as
in
any
sinner
in
the
world
,
though
restrained
and
pent
in
(
which
the
sinner
was
not
beholding
to
his
own
heart
for
)
it
renders
him
a
great
sinner
before
the
Lord
,
when
savingly
enlightned
.
The
want
of
this
consideration
makes
outwardly
righteous
persons
not
look
upon
themselves
as
great
sinners
;
they
see
and
feel
not
sin
infinite
in
the
fountain
of
it
,
which
mostly
greatens
it
,
above
all
the
actings
of
it
in
this
life
.
10.
A
sinner
drawing
nigh
to
God
for
pardon
,
sees
his
sin
as
great
,
because
thereby
he
was
led
captive
by
the
Devil
at
his
will
:
He
that
committeth
sin
is
of
the
Devil
,
1
John
3.8
.
committeth
sin
,
so
as
in
a
state
of
sin
,
under
the
power
of
sin
,
and
not
born
of
God
,
why
such
a
one
is
of
the
Devil
,
under
the
power
of
the
Devil
,
of
the
Devil
and
not
of
God
;
and
this
because
of
sin
,
which
gives
this
dominion
to
the
Devil
.
Oh
,
saith
a
poor
Creature
,
I
that
was
the
creature
of
God
,
and
should
have
lived
to
him
,
lived
to
the
Devil
,
and
the
service
of
him
;
and
took
part
with
him
,
against
Christ
,
his
Word
,
his
Saints
,
and
was
an
enemy
to
them
:
This
greatens
my
sin
before
the
Lord
.
11.
Sin
appears
great
,
because
great
is
the
wrath
of
God
against
sin
;
sinners
are
said
to
heap
up
wrath
,
Rom.
2.
and
they
are
called
the
Children
of
wrath
.
God
to
manifest
his
displeasure
against
sin
,
pours
out
everlasting
wrath
upon
an
unpardoned
sinner
,
to
leave
the
sinner
under
endless
torment
of
soul
and
body
.
God
hates
nothing
but
sin
,
and
for
sin
,
and
so
hates
it
,
that
infinite
endless
wrath
must
be
the
vengeance
of
it
.
Oh
,
when
God
gives
a
sinner
a
glimpse
of
this
!
Oh
the
greatness
of
every
little
sin
to
deserve
such
wrath
!
How
shall
I
flee
from
and
escape
the
wrath
to
come
?
who
can
stand
before
such
wrath
,
who
can
bear
it
?
12.
The
way
of
any
sinner's
deliverance
from
such
wrath
,
shews
sin
to
be
exceeding
great
,
in
the
price
and
ransom
that
is
paid
for
the
salvation
of
him
from
his
sins
,
the
price
of
the
blood
of
the
eternal
Son
of
God
.
How
great
was
sin
,
how
sinful
and
damnable
the
nature
of
it
in
the
eye
of
the
righteous
God
,
when
justice
could
not
be
satisfied
but
by
such
a
way
?
Oh
,
saith
a
poor
soul
that
comes
for
pardon
,
what
a
damnable
thing
is
sin
,
which
was
once
nothing
to
me
,
that
redemption
from
it
is
at
such
a
rate
!
God
had
no
greater
a
price
to
give
,
than
what
he
laid
down
to
save
a
wretched
sinner
from
his
sin
.
Oh
,
't
was
great
sin
that
must
crucifie
the
Lord
of
life
and
glory
,
therefore
doth
my
soul
hate
it
.
13.
Lastly
,
This
consideration
also
greatens
sin
,
in
as
much
as
a
poor
creature
hath
drawn
and
tempted
others
to
sin
with
him
,
especially
such
as
have
lived
more
vainly
and
loosly
,
and
it
lies
hard
upon
many
a
poor
soul
after
thorough
conviction
.
Oh
,
how
many
have
I
drawn
to
sin
,
not
only
by
my
example
,
but
encouragement
and
perswasion
,
that
may
be
now
in
Hell
for
such
sins
,
or
are
under
a
state
of
impenitency
,
and
hardened
by
me
.
Oh
,
this
is
an
abasing
consideration
to
a
poor
,
convinced
,
humbled
sinner
,
when
God
smites
his
heart
with
it
.
Vse
1.
Before
we
go
further
,
let
us
labour
to
apply
this
to
the
consciences
of
all
.
I
have
shewed
you
,
the
matter
we
are
upon
is
the
weightiest
that
ever
took
up
God's
heart
,
the
pardoning
of
a
sinner
;
and
therefore
,
how
should
it
swallow
up
the
hearts
of
poor
undone
souls
,
that
are
so
infinitely
concern'd
in
it
.
I
beseech
you
therefore
,
lay
to
your
hearts
what
hath
been
spoken
as
to
the
greatness
of
sin
;
and
consider
,
If
souls
that
come
to
God
by
Christ
for
pardon
,
see
their
sins
as
great
sins
,
and
't
is
their
great
trouble
they
cannot
see
them
greater
;
First
then
,
This
may
serve
to
take
off
that
woful
deceit
of
heart
,
and
delusion
of
the
Devil
,
of
poor
careless
souls
that
dream
of
pardon
,
and
yet
never
in
any
measure
thus
saw
their
sins
as
great
;
this
shews
the
heart
was
never
touched
of
God
,
never
smitten
for
sin
as
yet
;
this
is
the
way
indeed
of
unpardoned
sinners
,
they
are
lessening
their
sins
to
God
and
themselves
,
finding
out
circumstances
to
lessen
them
,
of
others
tempting
them
,
and
the
Devil
,
and
the
like
;
and
many
or
most
of
Men
or
Women
allow
themselves
in
the
same
,
or
they
were
overtaken
,
or
the
like
;
they
think
they
can
easily
pacifie
God
again
,
and
that
God
makes
not
so
great
a
matter
of
it
;
thus
a
deceitful
heart
and
a
cheating
Devil
juggle
together
,
and
sooth
Conscience
in
a
damnable
peace
:
And
such
souls
call
their
great
reigning
sins
their
infirmity
,
and
God
will
not
be
so
exact
as
some
of
the
Preachers
make
him
;
here
's
a
sinner
rivetted
in
a
cursed
estate
.
But
now
take
a
Soul
whom
God
(
as
I
shall
shew
)
hath
made
sensible
of
sin
,
and
the
weight
of
pardon
,
and
comes
to
the
feet
of
the
Lord
for
it
,
't
is
quite
otherwise
.
Oh
,
my
sins
,
Wretch
that
I
was
and
am
,
were
little
sins
to
me
before
,
but
now
they
are
great
sins
;
I
called
it
my
infirmity
to
lye
,
swear
,
prophane
the
Sabbath
,
allow
my self
in
any
excess
;
but
now
I
see
't
was
reigning
sin
,
soul-damning
sin
,
great
,
oh
great
sin
;
Oh
that
I
am
out
of
Hell
!
Oh
the
patience
of
God!
Is
there
mercy
for
such
a
wretch
?
What
a
wonder
will
it
be
if
I
get
to
Heaven
?
How
great
will
that
mercy
be
that
pardons
me
?
2.
Therefore
in
the
second
place
,
Examine
how
it
is
with
you
?
and
whether
you
have
had
some
such
workings
of
heart
;
Have
you
been
before
the
Lord
in
David's
posture
,
Oh
,
mine
iniquity
is
great
!
Oh
,
I
I
have
sinned
against
a
great
God
,
wearied
great
patience
,
turned
great
mercies
into
sin
.
Oh
I
have
sinned
against
great
light
,
How
shall
I
be
pardoned
?
Sins
continued
in
,
and
multiplied
from
my
youth
up
,
and
these
against
serious
purposes
,
under
the
reign
of
it
;
there
's
an
infinite
fountain
of
all
evil
within
me
.
If
I
have
been
any
way
restrained
,
no
thanks
to
my
own
heart
for
it
.
Oh
,
saith
a
poor
soul
,
I
was
led
by
the
Devil
,
befool'd
by
the
Devil
,
served
the
Devil
against
God
;
and
now
,
what
can
I
challenge
at
the
Hands
of
God
?
What
belongs
to
me
but
wrath
,
great
wrath
,
everlasting
wrath
,
infinite
Wrath
?
If
one
sin
deserves
a
thousand
Hells
,
what
do
innumerable
transgressions
do
?
If
Mercy
be
not
infinite
,
How
shall
I
look
up
to
God
,
or
how
shall
God
look
down
upon
me
?
Oh
,
I
say
,
let
your
Conscience
answer
,
hath
it
been
thus
,
in
some
good
and
real
measure
,
though
not
so
deep
as
your
soul
desires
.
I
know
there
are
degrees
,
and
I
also
know
till
God
come
to
let
out
himself
in
such
a
way
as
☞
this
,
that
sin
is
great
,
and
greater
in
mine
eye
then
ever
,
we
make
but
slight
work
of
it
in
our
spirits
;
want
of
this
makes
many
in
these
days
run
away
with
pleasant
notions
of
Grace
,
Christ
,
Light
,
(
though
blessed
be
the
Lord
for
ever
,
for
the
more
glorious
Revelation
of
all
these
,
but
I
speak
of
abuses
)
but
sin
was
never
great
by
the
appearance
of
God
,
and
so
they
wanton
with
such
Notions
which
at
last
wear
off
,
and
so
they
come
to
nothing
but
a
reproach
to
the
Gospel
.
3.
In
the
third
place
,
therefore
,
let
it
serve
to
exhort
sinners
to
look
back
upon
your
lives
,
even
from
your
youth
up
:
You
may
find
one
more
of
the
discoveries
mentioned
of
the
greatness
of
sin
,
that
you
will
fall
under
;
especially
such
as
have
been
given
to
the
prophaness
and
vanities
of
the
age
you
live
in
,
lying
,
swearing
,
prophaning
of
the
Sabbath
,
to
riot
,
ungodly
pastimes
and
sports
,
reviling
the
Godly
,
or
other
more
secret
wickednesses
and
pollutions
;
any
of
which
may
bespeak
thee
in
a
state
of
sin
and
wrath
,
joyned
with
thy
living
in
the
neglect
of
known
duties
,
upon
which
neglect
God
hath
pronounced
a
curse
,
as
the
neglect
of
secret
or
Family-prayer
,
Jer.
10.
ult.
Or
if
thou
hast
not
been
engaged
in
gross
sins
,
but
hast
been
sober
and
well
carriaged
from
thy
youth
up
,
yet
thou
mayst
be
still
in
a
state
of
sin
,
but
go
a
little
more
soberly
to
Hell
,
and
in
more
danger
of
being
damned
in
thy
civil
sober
carriage
than
great
sinners
,
with
which
thou
art
apt
to
compare
thy self
,
and
seeing
thy self
not
so
bad
as
them
,
thinkest
all
is
well
;
but
remember
well
what
hath
been
proved
,
that
sin
is
greater
in
the
Fountain
than
the
streams
,
though
it
make
a
greater
noise
or
shew
to
others
in
the
stream
of
ones
life
;
thou
hast
a
Hell
in
thy
nature
,
an
infinite
fountain
of
any
wickedness
,
that
ever
any
of
the
Sons
or
Daughters
of
men
did
commit
,
an
Idolater
,
an
Adulterer
,
a
Murderer
,
a
Sodomite
,
a
Devil
in
thy
Heart
and
whole
frame
of
thy
Nature
.
In
a
word
,
one
sin
,
which
thou
callest
little
,
reigning
but
in
thy
heart
,
and
cherished
there
,
is
enough
to
send
thee
to
Hell
,
as
if
thou
wert
the
veriest
Reprobate
living
.
Remember
,
the
same
Paul
that
thought
himself
a
blameless
man
,
Philip.
3.6
.
afterwards
cries
out
of
exceeding
sinfulness
,
Rom.
7.13
.
yea
,
the
greatest
,
the
chief
of
sinners
,
1
Tim.
1.15
.
But
I
hope
to
meet
with
thee
,
and
with
thy
conscience
,
as
to
this
conviction
,
more
hereafter
.
The
next
inquiry
will
be
,
when
a
poor
soul
may
be
said
to
be
under
such
a
discovery
of
the
greatness
of
sin
,
as
may
lead
him
to
get
pardon
through
Jesus
Christ
.
1.
One
discovery
I
have
named
already
;
which
is
,
such
a
soul
doth
not
go
about
to
lessen
his
sin
,
but
greeaten
it
to
his
greater
abasement
;
't
is
his
fear
he
doth
not
see
his
sins
great
enough
,
to
lay
him
low
enough
before
the
Lord
.
2.
When
such
a
sight
and
discovery
of
sin
,
it
begets
trouble
upon
the
spirit
:
In
Psal.
28.
you
have
David
under
a
great
discovery
of
sin
,
and
he
cries
out
,
there
is
no
rest
in
my
bones
,
because
of
my
sin
;
I
am
troubled
,
I
am
bowed
down
,
I
go
mourning
all
the
day
;
such
a
trouble
,
that
will
not
admit
of
peace
and
healing
,
but
from
Jesus
Christ
,
till
it
can
take
hold
of
Jesus
Christ
in
a
promise
of
Grace
and
Pardon
,
and
come
to
him
,
and
close
with
him
to
be
justified
and
Sanctified
by
him
and
in
him
;
as
I
am
at
large
to
shew
,
if
God
will
.
I
speak
this
,
because
there
is
a
trouble
for
sin
,
that
often
ends
in
a
more
dangerous
peace
:
Many
poor
creatures
have
for
a
time
been
troubled
for
sin
,
and
they
have
made
one
shift
or
other
to
quiet
themselves
,
it
may
be
leave
their
sins
,
and
do
a
little
something
more
,
but
never
come
in
a
Gospel-way
to
Christ
;
which
I
am
also
(
through
grace
)
to
evidence
in
the
discovery
of
a
false
Conversion
.
However
,
so
it
is
,
that
every
soul
that
is
unbottomed
from
a
false
peace
,
a
peace
in
sin
,
or
resting
in
his
duties
,
he
comes
under
trouble
,
more
or
less
,
in
and
for
his
sin
,
as
he
gets
to
pardon
.
3.
God
smites
a
soul
for
some
special
particular
sin
;
Jer.
3.13
.
Only
acknowledge
thine
iniquity
,
that
thou
hast
transgressed
against
the
Lord
thy
God
,
and
hast
scattered
thy
ways
under
every
green
tree
,
&c.
General
acknowledgment
of
Sins
comes
to
nothing
,
't
is
the
note
of
a
Hypocrite
;
but
particular
Sins
lying
upon
the
soul
,
speak
forth
spiritual
convictions
,
when
joyned
,
I
mean
with
other
workings
of
heart
we
are
now
setting
forth
.
So
Christ
dealt
with
the
woman
of
Samaria
,
Joh.
4.16.29
.
Found
her
at
,
and
smote
her
in
her
particular
Sin
.
4.
As
God
smites
,
so
the
sinner
is
in
particular
confession
before
the
Lord
,
loads
his
heart
with
Sin
,
till
it
breaks
.
Object
.
But
who
will
not
confess
himself
a
Sinner
,
you
will
say
?
Answ.
Truly
few
,
in
a
Scripture
saving
sense
.
A
word
or
two
more
to
this
;
That
confession
of
sin
before
the
Lord
,
is
a
duty
,
and
such
as
hath
the
promise
of
forgiveness
of
Sin
,
such
places
of
Scripture
will
clear
,
Psal.
32.
I
acknowledge
my
sin
unto
thee
,
and
mine
iniquity
have
I
not
hid
;
I
said
I
will
confess
my
transgressions
unto
the
Lord
,
and
thou
forgavest
the
iniquity
of
my
sin
;
Prov.
28.13
.
He
that
covereth
his
sins
shall
not
prosper
,
but
he
that
confesseth
and
forsaketh
them
,
shall
find
mercy
;
If
we
confess
our
sins
he
is
faithful
and
just
,
to
forgive
us
our
sins
,
1
John
1.9
.
This
being
a
duty
to
which
so
blessed
promises
are
annexed
,
't
is
of
much
concernment
to
souls
that
are
very
serious
about
forgiveness
,
to
have
it
stated
aright
,
according
to
Scripture
and
saving
Experience
.
There
is
a
confession
of
sin
,
that
doth
not
entitle
to
the
promise
,
which
a
hypocrite
may
reach
to
;
so
Pharaoh
,
Exod.
9.27
.
I
have
sinned
this
time
,
the
Lord
is
righteous
,
and
I
and
my
people
are
wicked
;
here
's
confession
,
but
no
pardon
;
so
Judas
,
Matth.
27.3
,
4.
I
have
sinned
,
in
that
I
have
betrayed
the
innocent
blood
;
so
Saul
,
1
Sam.
15.29
.
I
have
sinned
,
for
I
have
transgressed
the
Commandment
of
the
Lord
;
Here
are
verbal
inforced
confessions
,
when
the
hand
of
God
was
upon
them
,
and
yet
did
not
end
in
mercy
.
The
confession
of
a
Hypocrite
proceeds
only
from
judgment
felt
or
feared
;
but
that
which
is
sincere
and
ends
in
mercy
and
pardon
,
goes
upon
better
grounds
.
1.
As
first
,
Confession
that
hath
the
promise
of
pardon
,
is
accompanied
with
hatred
of
sin
.
So
in
that
blessed
draught
of
the
New
Covenant
Ezek.
36.
I
will
save
you
from
your
uncleannesses
,
&c.
verse
29.
and
verse
31.
Then
shall
you
remember
your
own
evil
ways
,
and
your
doings
that
were
not
good
,
and
shall
loath
your selves
in
your
own
sight
for
your
iniquities
,
and
for
you
abominations
.
Then
,
when
God
comes
in
a
way
of
mercy
and
pardon
,
then
God
will
make
them
remember
their
wickednesses
,
that
they
had
even
forgotten
,
and
had
thought
that
God
had
forgotten
them
also
:
They
thought
they
were
good
ways
before
,
but
now
the
Lord
shews
them
they
were
not
good
,
and
they
loath
themselves
:
Sin
is
not
only
a
terror
,
but
a
loathsom
thing
to
them
,
hateful
to
the
soul
that
is
under
this
conviction
.
2.
Whence
,
secondly
,
Saving
confession
respects
the
pollution
of
sin
.
They
shall
loath
themselves
,
&c.
That
thou
mayest
remember
and
be
confounded
,
and
never
open
thy
mouth
any
more
,
because
of
thy
shame
,
when
I
am
pacified
toward
thee
;
In
that
38th
.
Psal.
David
is
in
self-loathing
;
this
doth
arise
(
as
presently
I
shall
shew
)
from
a
glimpse
of
Gods
holiness
,
which
I
humbly
conceive
,
no
reprobate
in
the
World
doth
reach
to
,
to
loath
sin
,
because
it
makes
him
an
unholy
Creature
.
3.
It
follows
therefore
that
such
confession
follows
sin
to
the
root
,
to
the
fountain
,
there
sees
it
most
abominable
,
odious
,
infinite
.
So
David
Psal.
51.5
.
I
was
shapen
in
iniquity
,
&c.
A
Hypocrites
confession
ends
in
outward
gross
sins
,
from
terror
only
,
and
reacheth
not
to
heart-sin
,
pollution
of
nature
;
and
if
he
can
reach
to
reform
such
outward
gross
sins
,
he
hath
done
,
as
he
thinks
,
the
utmost
,
but
never
comes
to
loath
(
and
so
to
mortifie
,
through
the
spirit
)
sin
at
the
root
:
But
sincere
souls
,
touched
by
the
Holy
Ghost
,
with
a
saving
sense
of
sin
,
do
drive
sin
home
to
its
original
,
to
its
root
,
in
the
universal
corruption
of
heart
and
nature
,
and
there
the
severest
edge
and
indignation
against
it
is
let
forth
.
4.
Brokenness
of
heart
for
sin
,
is
an
effect
of
such
confession
,
Psal.
51.17
.
Isa.
61.1
.
&
57.15
.
And
this
ariseth
upon
sense
of
Gods
patience
,
goodness
,
love
;
as
hatred
of
the
pollution
of
sin
,
ariseth
from
a
sight
of
Gods
Holiness
;
Pharaoh
crys
out
,
he
had
sinned
,
when
he
smarted
with
punishment
,
but
was
still
under
the
plague
of
his
hard
heart
,
Ex.
9.27
.
&
34.
There
is
indeed
a
kind
of
brokenness
,
that
the
hammerings
of
terrour
,
by
punishments
,
or
by
the
Word
,
may
work
,
which
may
a
little
wear
and
rough-hew
the
heart
,
and
yet
go
no
further
,
but
yet
leave
the
heart
under
its
natural
hardness
,
but
now
that
which
is
the
Spirits
saving
work
kindly
melts
the
heart
,
makes
it
soft
,
and
so
it
can
pour
out
it self
to
God
in
heart-melting
confessions
;
at
least
,
the
poor
soul
mourns
over
the
hardness
of
its
heart
,
oh
that
I
have
thus
sinned
,
and
yet
my
heart
will
not
break
?
blessed
be
every
stroak
,
and
every
word
of
God
,
and
every
Ordinance
,
that
through
grace
breaks
my
heart
more
.
A
sincere
soul
sets
a
high
price
upon
brokenness
,
and
yet
rests
not
in
it
,
&c.
5.
Such
confession
that
hath
the
promise
,
is
accompanied
with
soul
abasement
;
He
that
humbleth
himself
,
shall
be
exalted
,
Luke
18.14
.
spoken
upon
the
Publicans
acceptance
with
God
in
his
Confession
,
smiting
upon
his
breast
,
in
a
deep
abasement
,
not
lifting
up
his
eyes
to
Heaven
:
So
that
great
promise
,
2
Chron.
7.14
.
If
my
people
shall
humble
themselves
,
and
pray
,
and
seek
my
face
,
and
turn
from
their
wicked
ways
,
then
will
I
hear
from
Heaven
,
and
will
forgive
their
sins
:
This
is
a
work
of
the
narrowest
search
of
any
other
.
I
intend
,
if
the
Lord
will
,
to
speak
to
this
more
distinctly
and
fully
,
only
now
a
word
of
Humiliation
,
as
is
joyned
with
such
confession
,
that
hath
the
promise
of
pardon
,
which
is
the
scope
we
drive
at
.
1.
When
the
Soul
is
in
confession
,
and
under
the
Lords
humblings
in
order
to
pardon
,
The
poor
Creature
acknowledgeth
himself
infinitely
unworthy
that
ever
the
Lord
should
cast
a
look
upon
him
,
or
give
out
mercy
and
pardon
to
him
:
This
Conclusion
is
fixed
upon
the
soul
,
and
the
Soul
falls
down
abased
in
the
sense
of
it
,
whatever
the
Lord
do
with
me
,
I
will
lay
my
mouth
in
the
dust
,
I
am
worthy
of
nothing
from
the
Lord
,
but
a
thousand
Hells
;
this
quiets
the
heart
in
some
measure
,
whatever
the
pleasure
of
the
Lord
be
towards
him
.
2.
As
the
poor
sinful
Creature
is
worthy
of
nothing
,
so
he
will
give
glory
to
God
,
if
God
never
pardon
;
God
is
never
the
less
righteous
or
holy
,
if
he
never
let
out
one
drop
of
mercy
upon
so
vile
a
Creature
:
Thou
art
holy
,
saith
David
,
Psal.
22.3
.
But
I
am
a
worm
,
and
no
man
,
verse
6.
A
worm
,
fit
for
God
and
man
to
tread
upon
,
and
yet
must
not
rise
up
against
God
,
nor
say
to
him
,
what
doest
thou
?
No
Man
:
I
have
unman'd
my self
with
sin
,
I
am
dust
and
vanity
it self
,
vile
dust
;
that
's
my
make
,
my
frame
:
Oh
,
I
must
give
glory
to
his
justice
,
though
I
perish
for
ever
.
3.
The
poor
Creature
hath
no
good
,
no
,
not
the
least
,
to
procure
pardon
,
or
to
move
God
to
pardon
,
Psal.
14.3
.
Saith
a
poor
humbled
soul
,
treating
for
pardon
,
if
mercy
and
pardon
must
come
forth
upon
terms
of
my
good
,
having
or
doing
any
thing
,
but
what
hath
infinitely
Sin
enough
in
it
to
damn
me
for
ever
;
assuredly
to
Hell
I
must
:
No
,
Sin
enough
to
send
a
world
of
souls
to
Hell
,
but
not
a
drop
of
good
to
move
the
Lord
to
mercy
.
If
God
give
out
mercy
upon
a
Sight
of
good
,
I
expect
not
a
drop
from
him
.
4.
It
follows
from
hence
,
when
a
sinner
comes
humbled
,
he
comes
as
nothing
else
but
a
sinner
:
Luke
18.13
.
God
be
merciful
to
me
a
sinner
:
One
,
that
's
nothing
else
but
a
wretched
Sinner
,
for
so
the
Publican
means
it
,
as
in
a
contrary
frame
to
the
Pharisee
,
who
thanks
God
that
he
was
not
so
bad
as
many
were
,
though
the
Pharisee
no
doubt
would
acknowledge
some
Sin
,
but
now
the
Publican
is
All
a
sinner
,
in
as
bad
a
condition
as
any
Sinner
in
the
World
:
Poor
Souls
in
these
days
,
they
hope
they
have
not
so
much
need
of
Christ
as
many
great
sinners
,
they
be
not
nothing
else
but
Sinners
,
they
have
or
do
some
good
:
The
discussion
of
this
will
be
the
next
discourse
,
only
now
a
word
more
:
Know
Sinner
,
that
one
Sin
strikes
off
all
thy
pretended
good
,
as
shall
at
large
through
mercy
be
proved
to
thee
:
Stick
to
one
drop
of
good
in
thee
or
from
thee
,
when
thou
comest
for
mercy
and
pardon
,
and
thou
losest
all
:
Oh
,
to
be
wholly
condemned
,
wholly
unrighteous
,
wholly
a
sinner
,
is
a
great
work
;
't
is
the
most
distinguishing
conviction
of
any
other
.
While
a
man
hath
any
thing
to
live
upon
,
he
is
not
fit
to
beg
;
so
while
a
soul
hath
a
drop
of
any
thing
,
that
in
his
own
sense
,
may
the
more
admit
him
to
pardon
,
he
cannot
have
it
.
Take
it
thus
,
If
one
come
to
your
doors
and
beg
,
and
he
hath
good
Cloaths
on
his
Back
,
and
he
should
say
,
I
have
good
Cloaths
on
my
back
,
I
have
something
of
my
own
,
therefore
I
pray
give
me
:
Would
you
not
answer
,
if
you
have
something
of
your
own
,
and
are
pretty
well
cloathed
,
why
should
you
beg
;
't
is
not
for
you
come
and
ask
alms
?
But
if
a
poor
naked
wretch
come
,
and
say
,
and
cry
,
Oh
,
I
am
a
poor
Creature
,
a
poor
naked
destitute
creature
,
I
have
nothing
,
all
's
gone
,
I
have
lost
all
,
pray
cover
me
,
pray
feed
me
;
out
of
great
pity
you
will
look
upon
such
a
poor
Wretch
,
and
do
something
for
him
,
if
you
have
any
bowels
:
So
,
if
a
Sinner
(
as
that
Pharisee
did
)
come
and
say
,
Lord
I
have
done
this
and
this
,
I
have
not
been
so
wicked
as
many
,
I
do
some
good
,
therefore
pardon
,
that
therefore
will
make
the
Lord
send
thee
away
without
mercy
:
No
,
saith
God
,
live
upon
what
thou
hast
,
if
thou
hast
any
thing
:
Oh
Sinner
,
thou
art
not
fit
to
beg
,
(
to
beg
mercy
and
pardon
)
till
thou
hast
just
nothing
of
thy
own
,
which
the
natural
pride
of
thy
heart
will
very
hardly
come
off
to
.
5.
In
the
way
of
Mens
Tribunals
of
Justice
,
and
Courts
of
Life
and
Death
:
If
a
Malefactor
be
condemned
by
the
Law
,
and
he
yet
plead
,
Though
I
am
proved
a
Thief
or
a
Murderer
,
yet
I
have
kept
the
rest
of
the
Law
,
I
have
broken
no
Law
of
the
Nation
that
deserves
death
beside
,
shall
not
this
rather
justifie
me
,
than
this
crime
condemn
me
;
No
,
saith
the
Judge
,
That
's
nothing
to
us
,
though
thou
hast
kept
the
Law
in
other
things
,
thou
must
dye
by
the
Law
,
as
a
Transgressor
of
it
,
for
this
thou
hast
done
:
Why
then
,
saith
the
condemned
person
,
I
must
plead
all
mercy
.
Just
so
it
is
at
the
Tribunal
of
God
,
comes
a
poor
Soul
that
is
convinced
he
hath
sinn'd
,
Oh
,
but
saith
he
in
his
heart
,
I
have
kept
the
Law
in
many
or
most
things
,
will
not
that
commend
me
to
God
?
Will
not
God
look
upon
my
good
more
than
my
evil
?
No
,
saith
God
in
his
word
,
thou
hast
broken
the
Law
,
and
thou
art
cursed
,
therefore
the
Law
can
shew
thee
no
mercy
.
I
can
take
no
notice
of
any
of
thy
pretended
keeping
of
it
in
any
other
thing
;
Oh
,
then
must
a
poor
Sinner
say
,
then
it
must
be
all
,
all
of
mercy
,
if
I
am
ever
pardoned
;
this
may
be
enough
to
discover
such
a
humiliation
that
follows
confession
that
hath
the
promise
of
pardon
.
6.
One
thing
more
,
which
I
shall
but
mention
;
such
a
confession
of
sin
as
hath
the
promise
of
mercy
,
is
accompanied
with
a
firm
resolution
,
through
grace
,
to
forsake
Sin
,
every
Sin
,
in
heart
and
life
;
He
that
confesseth
and
forsaketh
his
sins
,
shall
find
mercy
,
Prov.
28.
as
before
.
Mark
well
that
famous
promise
,
Isa.
55.7
.
Let
the
wicked
forsake
his
way
,
and
the
unrighteous
man
his
thoughts
,
and
let
him
return
unto
the
Lord
,
and
he
will
have
mercy
upon
him
,
and
to
our
God
,
for
he
will
abundantly
pardon
:
Here
's
forsaking
ways
and
thoughts
;
Sins
of
Heart
and
Life
,
and
not
a
forsaking
or
leaving
of
some
great
Sins
,
but
forsaking
and
warring
against
a
sinful
disposition
,
sinful
thoughts
;
and
not
only
a
meer
leaving
of
sin
,
but
a
returning
to
the
Lord
,
which
he
cannot
do
,
if
held
under
the
love
of
but
one
Sin
;
and
a
turning
to
God
only
upon
the
account
of
free
mercy
,
and
then
God
abundantly
pardons
:
A
good
word
suited
to
a
poor
soul
,
under
the
sense
of
sinning
abundantly
,
therefore
need
of
abundance
of
mercy
and
pardon
.
Vse
4.
Therefore
the
next
Use
will
be
of
Examination
:
Have
you
been
under
such
a
trouble
,
as
before
opened
,
about
Sin
,
and
the
pardon
of
it
?
Such
a
trouble
that
would
not
be
quietted
but
by
clasping
about
Jesus
Christ
;
hath
the
Lord
smitten
you
with
the
deep
sense
of
a
particular
Sin
,
your
bosome
Sin
,
and
thereby
been
brought
to
a
deep
sense
of
the
evil
of
all
Sin
?
Have
you
been
upon
your
knees
,
your
faces
in
as
peculiar
a
confession
as
you
could
,
hating
,
loathing
,
Sin
and
your selves
in
it
?
Oh
,
have
you
driven
Sin
to
the
root
,
the
fountain
!
Oh
,
there
's
a
Hell
of
it
within
?
Say
,
do
you
know
what
it
is
to
gave
broken
hearts
under
the
weight
of
Sin
,
and
the
sense
of
the
Patience
,
Grace
and
Love
of
God
,
held
forth
to
you
in
Jesus
Christ
?
Do
you
know
what
soul-abasement
is
,
acknowledging
in
confusion
of
face
,
that
you
are
worthy
of
nothing
from
the
Lord
for
ever
?
not
so
much
as
a
glimpse
of
mercy
,
a
good
look
from
him
,
because
you
have
so
sinned
against
him
?
Have
you
glorified
God
,
though
he
never
pardon
you
?
and
is
he
holy
and
blessed
,
though
you
are
banished
from
him
for
ever
?
Have
you
been
so
reduced
to
see
that
there
's
not
the
least
attom
of
good
to
commend
you
to
the
Lord
,
and
so
lain
down
as
nothing
else
but
a
Sinner
before
him
;
thousands
of
Sins
to
damn
thee
,
but
not
a
drop
of
righteousness
to
cover
thee
;
and
so
creep
to
the
seat
of
mercy
,
infinite
,
free
mercy
?
yea
,
hast
thou
seen
and
felt
the
difficulty
of
such
a
self-emptiness
,
that
thou
wouldst
rather
part
with
all
thy
Sin
than
thy
self-righteousness
:
☞
A
poor
soul
would
take
up
from
Sin
,
upon
conviction
of
the
damnableness
of
it
,
and
be
more
righteous
and
holy
,
but
to
be
reduced
first
to
nothing
,
nothing
else
but
a
poor
,
vile
,
unrighteous
,
weak
,
empty
creature
,
and
so
to
Christ
;
here
the
pride
of
heart
sticks
.
Now
soul
,
be
narrow
and
close
in
the
search
of
this
;
for
fail
here
,
and
fail
in
all

Let
it
exhort
you
that
have
never
been
under
any
trouble
about
your
Sin
,
and
the
pardon
of
it
,
that
you
do
not
ward
off
,
and
get
from
under
such
convincing
,
searching
words
,
that
may
trouble
you
:
Many
poor
sinful
Creatures
resolve
they
will
never
hearken
to
such
a
word
as
shall
trouble
them
,
and
cannot
bear
such
preaching
as
would
trouble
their
Consciences
:
One
word
with
you
,
Why
soul
,
Hast
thou
been
dishonouring
God
,
abusing
his
patience
and
mercy
,
transgressing
his
Holy
Commands
,
slighting
his
Grace
,
and
yet
thou
must
not
be
troubled
for
it
?
Wilt
thou
have
thousands
of
Sins
upon
thy
Soul
unpardoned
,
and
tread
upon
the
brink
of
Hell
every
step
thou
goest
,
and
not
be
troubled
about
it
?
It
seems
then
thou
resolvest
not
to
trouble
thy self
much
about
that
petty
business
(
as
thou
makest
it
)
of
being
damned
for
ever
,
or
saved
for
ever
?
No
,
nothing
about
Sin
,
Guilt
,
Pardon
,
Heaven
and
Hell
,
must
trouble
thee
?
Alas
,
poor
deluded
creature
,
what
care
it
there
to
get
to
Hell
peaceably
;
for
never
any
one
got
to
Heaven
so
,
that
was
never
troubled
about
getting
his
Sins
pardoned
:
Away
,
away
with
such
a
cursed
peace
,
and
let
it
now
trouble
thee
that
thou
hast
put
off
this
work
so
long
,
that
Sin
and
thy
Soul
have
been
at
such
a
peace
so
long
.
Be
now
at
a
professed
war
against
it
,
and
take
part
with
the
Lord
and
his
word
,
that
it
teaching
thee
how
yet
to
arive
at
the
blessed
Haven
of
Peace
,
not
with
Sin
,
but
with
the
blessed
God
,
against
whom
thou
hast
so
greatly
Sinned
;
Oh
look
unto
him
to
smite
a
hard
secure
heart
,
to
strike
a
Bosome
Hellish
Lust
,
for
whose
peace
thou
hast
so
long
,
and
so
foolishly
contended
;
yea
,
go
in
secret
,
and
fall
down
before
the
great
God
,
parcitularly
confessing
and
shaming
thy self
,
hating
,
loathing
,
humbling
,
till
thou
cry
out
,
as
David
here
,
Oh
pardon
;
what
a
great
matter
't
is
for
any
poor
soul
to
be
pardoned
?
Now
,
great
mercy
for
a
great
Sinner
,
or
I
am
lost
for
ever
.
Out-sinned
pardon
thou
hast
not
,
if
thou
comest
in
this
posture
to
God
for
it
.
But
you
may
further
enquire
,
how
doth
God
bring
a
poor
Soul
to
this
pass
,
to
such
a
deep
sense
of
Sin
,
such
a
fight
of
himself
,
so
as
to
be
thus
before
the
Lord
in
self
loathing
and
abasement
.
Only
now
a
Word
;
(
1.
)
When
a
Soul
is
brought
to
this
pass
,
God
lets
out
an
appearance
of
himself
in
measure
,
upon
a
poor
creature
,
such
a
glimpse
of
light
and
purity
,
that
makes
the
creature
fall
down
,
and
cry
out
,
Oh
I
am
vile
,
vile
as
the
dust
I
tread
on
?
(
2.
)
God
gives
out
the
Spirit
in
the
word
,
which
convinceth
and
searchech
the
soul
,
shews
its
condition
,
state
,
sin
,
the
damnableness
and
pollution
of
it
,
the
greatness
of
it
,
as
was
shewed
:
The
spirit
opens
the
holiness
and
spirituallity
of
the
Law
,
Rom.
7.9
.
and
shews
the
Sinner
,
as
in
a
glass
,
what
he
is
:
The
spirit
gives
a
Sight
of
Jesus
Christ
pierced
with
the
Sins
of
such
as
come
unto
him
,
Zach.
12.10
.
These
do
cause
loathing
and
bitterness
upon
the
Soul
of
a
poor
Sinner
,
drawing
near
to
the
Lord
for
pardon
.
Therefore
't
is
great
wisdom
to
be
where
God
speaks
,
where
God
appears
,
where
God
gives
out
his
spirit
,
which
is
usually
in
the
word
preached
powerfully
,
and
setting
thy self
in
secret
to
muse
and
ponder
about
an
eternal
condition
;
or
when
the
afflicting
Hand
of
God
is
upon
thee
,
do
not
say
,
I
am
not
so
great
a
Sinner
as
to
make
so
much
ado
about
Pardon
or
Heaven
,
if
that
be
thy
temper
,
thou
art
the
most
likely
to
be
in
the
road-way
to
Hell
,
in
peace
that
will
end
in
woes
and
sorrows
,
of
any
Soul
in
the
world
.
Oh
,
wait
for
Gods
appearance
,
and
every
little
Sin
will
be
great
,
a
Hell
of
Sin
within
thee
,
though
outwardly
civil
and
sober
;
wait
for
the
Spirit
in
the
Word
,
and
go
and
pray
for
it
.
'T
is
one
thing
to
know
Sin
by
the
Letter
of
the
Law
,
which
commands
this
,
and
forbids
that
,
and
another
thing
to
know
,
see
,
feel
Sin
,
and
the
infinite
evil
of
it
,
the
exceeding
Sinfulness
and
Pollution
of
it
,
by
the
conviction
of
the
Spirit
;
so
as
to
see
it
most
in
the
fountain
,
in
thy
nature
,
and
there
loath
and
bewail
it
,
because
it
makes
thee
unclean
and
unholy
,
and
unlike
God
,
and
unfit
for
God
,
or
holy
communion
with
him
:
Which
is
the
way
and
most
certain
evidence
of
the
Spirits
saving
conviction
of
Sin
,
(
as
distinguishing
from
that
which
a
hypocrite
may
have
)
and
carries
a
soul
to
the
fountain
opened
,
Zach.
13.1
.
that
its
iniquity
may
be
throughly
cleansed
.
Vse
6.
If
Sinners
that
come
to
God
for
mercy
and
pardon
,
see
their
Sin
as
great
,
then
it
will
follow
,
that
great
Sinners
may
be
pardoned
and
saved
:
You
that
are
great
Sinners
,
old
Sinners
,
Oh
hearken
to
this
,
you
that
are
yet
within
the
reach
of
Grace
,
and
Mercy
,
and
Pardon
,
if
you
will
come
to
Jesus
Christ
for
it
,
the
greatness
of
your
Sin
is
no
bar
to
you
,
but
,
if
you
fail
of
pardon
,
't
is
because
you
will
not
come
to
Christ
for
it
,
and
accept
it
upon
Gospel-terms
;
you
will
not
have
pardon
with
a
new
heart
and
new
life
,
or
you
make
a
slight
matter
of
pardon
,
or
you
think
't
will
come
of
course
;
or
you
are
afraid
to
enter
into
a
serious
review
and
debate
with
your selves
,
because
your
Sins
are
so
great
,
they
will
terrifie
you
,
or
take
you
off
your
pleasure
and
peace
of
your
minds
,
and
joy
in
the
world
:
Away
,
away
with
any
of
these
pleas
;
though
thou
hast
sinned
much
,
greatly
,
long
,
with
all
thy
might
,
come
to
Jesus
Christ
,
and
those
great
Sins
are
no
more
before
his
blood
to
wash
them
away
than
the
least
Sin
(
if
any
be
little
)
that
ever
was
committed
and
pardoned
,
Isa.
1.18
.
Do
not
hence
say
securely
,
Oh
't
is
well
,
that
great
Sinners
may
be
pardoned
,
I
ever
thought
so
,
what
need
so
much
ado
?
Do
not
thus
harden
thy self
,
and
make
such
a
cursed
use
of
so
Blessed
a
Truth
;
but
therefore
come
in
,
lay
down
thy
weapons
,
with
which
thou
hast
been
fighting
against
God
;
wilt
thou
hold
up
rebellion
,
and
yet
cry
pardon
?
Is
it
equitable
thou
shouldst
expect
it
?
No
,
fall
down
at
the
feet
of
that
God
against
whom
thou
hast
so
greatly
sinned
,
in
the
posture
hath
been
shewed
thee
;
and
then
though
sin
hath
abounded
,
yet
grace
doth
much
more
abound

you

You

turn

back
upon
it

hast

he
must
stay

leisure

acceptance

sweet

thee

that
Gods
pardons
cost
him
dear
,
and
are
precious

and
if
thou
deal
thus
,
they
may
be
lockt
up
in

from
thy
wretched
Soul
to
all
Eternity

Who
but
a
desperate
wretch
,
but
would
take
mercy
and
grace
from
Heaven
,
that
may
make
him
blessed
for
ever
,
when
God
offers
it
by
his
dear
Son
,
let
thy
Sins
be
never
so
great
?
why
,
wretched
Man
or
Woman
,
Hast
thou
not
done
God
wrong
enough
already
!
but
must
thou
stay
yet
longer
in
thy
cursed
Sin
,
and
wrong
him
yet
more
?
Hast
not
done
enough
already
to
damn
a
thousand
Souls
,
but
wouldst
do
more
,
and
make
as
sure
of
Hell
as
thou
canst
?
I
beseech
thee
,
Sinner
,
great
Sinner
,
young
or
old
,
do
not
put
me
off
,
nay
,
do
not
put
the
Lord
off
with
a
pardon
in
his
hand
,
a
promise
of
Grace
ready
to
be
sealed
by
the
Holy
Ghost
,
if
thou
wilt
now
,
from
thy
Soul
,
readily
say
,
why
then
be
it
so
,
Lord
Jesus
I
come
to
thee
;
if
the
terms
be
leaving
all
this
deceitful
Sin
,
and
to
be
made
like
unto
thee
,
be
it
so
,
I
accept
of
it
,
tear
my
lusts
from
my
heart
,
I
have
served
them
long
enough
,
too
long
;
Oh
now
,
if
there
be
any
mercy
in
Heaven
,
let
me
have
it
,
save
me
,
(
not
in
)
but
from
my
Sins
,
Oh
Lord
,
for
they
are
great
,
great
indeed
;
I
will
,
saith
the
Lord
,
and
he
speaks
it
in
Ezek.
36.29
.
I
will
save
you
from
all
your
uncleannesses
;
't
is
as
much
as
if
the
Lord
should
have
now
spoken
it
from
Heaven
,
Mark
every
tittle
in
such
a
promise
!
Now
thou
cryest
,
Oh
,
will
,
will
the
Lord
save
?
I
will
,
saith
the

Oh

,
will
he
save
me
from
such
uncleannesses

,
from
uncleannesses
;
what
from
All

yea
,
from
All
thy
uncleannesses

fall
down
and
Adore

and
cry
out

Oh

infinite

glorious
grace
;

Behold

of
Gods
wonders

A
great
sinner
saved

And
so
seventhly
,
it
may
serve
to
exhort
blessed
souls
brought
into
a
state
of
peace
and
pardon
,
still
to
keep
an
eye
upon
the
greatness
of
mercy
:
If
mercy
were
not
great
,
how
could
any
Sin
be
forgiven
?
Thus
this
blessed
man
David
,
is
breathing
forth
,
Blessed
is
he
whose
iniquities
are
forgiven
!
Oh
bless
the
Lord
,
Oh
my
soul
,
who
forgiveth
all
thine
iniquities
;
Oh
how
great
is
thy
mercy
towards
me
,
and
thou
hast
delivered
my
soul
from
the
lowest
hell
:
So
should
pardoned
,
called
,
redeemed
souls
,
see
themselves
call'd
and
taken
out
of
Hell
it self
:
Out
of
a
Hell
of
abominations
,
pollutions
,
wrath
,
under
which
they
were
fast
held
by
the
power
of
darkness
.
Say
,
did
ever
such
a
soul
get
to
Heaven
?
shall
I
not
be
the
wonder
of
Heaven
and
Hell
,
how
I
got
to
Heaven
,
and
escaped
that
wrath
into
which
thousands
,
that
were
better
than
I
,
are
now
plunged
?
there
's
no
other
reason
,
but
because
mercy
is
great
,
greater
than
the
greatnesses
of
Sin
,
with
which
I
shall
conclude
the
second
Point
,
namely
,
When
Sinners
come
on
to
find
pardon
,
they
see
their
Sins
great
.
Obs.
3.
The
great
reason
of
Gods
pardoning
a
sinner
;
and
the
plea
that
a
poor
convinced
sinner
hath
with
God
,
is
,
that
he
will
pardon
for
his
own
Names
sake
.
For
thy
Names
sake
,
Oh
Lord
,
pardon
,
&c.
That
is
,
not
for
any
worth
that
is
in
a
poor
creature
,
not
for
my
sake
,
but
for
thy
own
glories
sake
,
thy
mercy
sake
;
grace
and
mercy
will
be
hereby
glorified
.
God
gets
himself
a
Name
by
the
pardoning
of
a
poor
Sinner
,
that
Name
which
he
proclaims
to
Moses
,
Exod.
34.6
.
The
Lord
merciful
and
gracious
,
&c.
Now
,
God
hath
given
forth
the
ground
of
this
plea
in
the
New
Covenant
,
where
his
Name
is
thus
made
most
glorious
.
And
when
he
had
given
forth
a
brief
and
blessed
draught
of
the
tenor
of
the
New
Covenant
,

36.21
.
The
Lord
gives
out
this
as
the
great
reason
often
mentioned
,
why
he
would
take
such
a
way
of
making
another
Covenant
,
wherein
he
wills
all
,
undertakes
all
,
does
all
,
works
all
,
as
resolved
it
should
be
a
Covenant
,
and
a
way
of
grace
that
surely
should
hold
:
He
gives
out
this
,
I
say
,
as
the
ground
of
all
,
I
had
pitty
for
my
own
holy
Name
,
ver.
21.
Thus
saith
the
Lord
God
,
I
do
not
this
for
your
sakes
,
but
for
mine
holy
Names
sake
,
ver.
22.
I
will
sanctifie
my
great
Name
,
ver.
23.
And
when
the
Lord
had
shewed
what
he
would
do
for
the
poor
Jews
in
special
,
and
so
for
all
Sinners
taken
into
Covenant
with
him
,
that
he
would
sprinkle
clean
water
upon
them
,
cleanse
them
from
their
Sins
,
give
them
a
new
heart
,
put
his
Spirit
upon
them
,
write
his
Laws
in
their
hearts
,
and
so
take
them
to
be
his
people
,
he
again
concludes
with
the
same
ground
as
before
,
that
all
this
was
still
for
his
own
Name
,
ver.
32.
Not
for
your
sakes
I
do
this
,
be
it
known
unto
you
,
&c.
And
yet
,
that
he
would
as
certainly
and
fully
do
it
,
as
if
all
the
engagements
from
man
in
the
world
had
been
upon
him
,
as
undoubtedly
make
good
every
part
and
article
of
the
Covenant
,
he
adds
,
ver.
36.
I
the
Lord
have
spoken
it
,
and
I
will
do
it
;
you
may
safely
abide
by
it
:
Neither
should
his
grace
and
power
come
hardly
from
him
(
as
poor
doubting
souls
surmise
)
as
if
't
were
as
much
as
ever
the
Lord
could
do
,
to
give
out
mercy
and
grace
to
poor
Sinners
;
but
,
saith
the
blessed
God
,
in
another
place
upon
the
same
account
,
having
given
out
the
promises
of
Grace
in
the
New
Covenant
,
Jer.
32.37
.
and
so
on
,
He
subjoyns
,
—
I
will
do
it
with
my
whole
heart
and
my
whole
soul
;
mark
it
,
poor
souls
,
with
my
whole
soul
,
will
I
pardon
you
,
love
you
,
never
turn
away
from
you
to
do
you
good
,
and
never
suffer
you
to
turn
away
from
me
.
If
poor
souls
(
for
whose
sake
I
put
it
)
should
here
ask
,
what
is
this
Covenant
,
what
do
you
mean
by
it
?
only
a
word
here
.
God
at
first
,
when
he
made
man
,
agreed
with
man
to
be
his
God
,
to
give
him
life
for
ever
,
upon
these
terms
that
man
would
keep
the
Law
that
God
gave
him
,
and
't
was
a
Law
that
would
have
given
all
glory
to
the
Creator
,
preserved
the
creature
in
a
holy
and
blessed
order
,
and
been
a
blessing
to
the
whole
Creation
;
but
man
transgressing
here
,
the
blessed
God
from
his
own
good
pleasure
,
for
his
names
sake
,
gives
out
another
Covenant
,
provides
in
it
terms
of
reconciliation
,
for
the
first
breach
of
the
first
Covenant
,
sends
his
eternal
blessed
Son
Jesus
Christ
,
to
be
a
mediator
of
this
new
Covenant
,
gives
him
commission
to
offer
it
to
all
,
and
that
freely
;
and
to
let
the
World
know
,
that
if
any
Sinner
in
the
World
,
never
so
great
,
come
and
put
up
his
plea
,
make
his
claim
,
enter
his
claim
,
accept
of
this
Covenant
and
new
agreement
with
God
,
accept
of
the
terms
of
it
,
give
up
himself
mutually
to
God
back
again
;
then
will
God
be
his
God
,
and
that
upon
better
terms
than
before
with
Adam
,
pardon
,
own
,
love
,
bless
,
unite
to
himself
,
never
suffer
him
to
fall
;
mercy
built
upon
an
unmoveable
foundation
,
The
foundation
of
God
standeth
sure
,
2
Tim.
2.19
.
This
briefly
is
the
meaning
of
the
New
Covenant
,
upon
which
all
our
mercy
is
built
;
now
from
first
to
last
,
from
the
first
to
the
top-stone
of
it
,
from
Election
to
Glory
,
all
is
done
and
made
good
for
the
Lords
own
glorious
Names
sake
.
Souls
elected
,
the
Covenant
transacted
between
God
and
Christ
,
Jesus
Christ
sent
,
the
Sinner
called
,
forgiven
,
justified
,
sanctified
,
adopted
,
kept
,
glorified
,
All
for
his
Names
sake
;
See
the
promises
running
thus
,
in
most
places
,
Isa.
43.25
.
I
,
even
I
am
he
that
blotteth
out
thy
transgressions
.
Why
?
for
my
own
sake
;
Purge
away
our
sins
for
thy
Names
sake
,
Psal.
79.9
.
This
is
the
bottom
of
all
.
This
name
he
hath
revealed
in
Jesus
Christ
,
Exod.
23.21
.
Now
,
because
the
further
clearing
of
this
blessed
truth
is
my
design
,
through
Grace
in
the
next
discourse
,
I
shall
speak
but
a
word
more
by
the
way
of
use
only
.
Vse
1.
If
it
be
thus
,
that
whatever
God
gives
out
to
poor
souls
,
is
for
his
own
Names
sake
,
that
this
is
the
plea
a
poor
Sinner
hath
;
let
it
then
be
for
your
information
and
instruction
,
that
you
have
no
other
plea
to
be
heard
in
Heaven
but
this
,
(
the
plea
of
Jesus
Christ
being
upon
the
same
bottom
)
Don't
make
a
sorry
pile
of
carnal
duties
and
works
,
and
say
,
for
the
sake
of
these
,
Lord
do
me
good
,
and
pardon
where
I
have
failed
;
the
Lord
may
send
fire
from
Heaven
to
consume
thee
and
them
,
because
of
their
pollution
,
and
that
't
is
a
cursed
offering
,
but
never
hear
thee
,
and
bless
thee
upon
such
a
plea
;
No
,
no
,
say
in
thy
soul
,
and
that
from
full
conviction
,
If
ever
I
have
any
thing
from
God
on
this
side
Hell
,
it
must
be
for
his
own
Names
sake
;
I
expect
,
I
plead
,
I
wait
,
upon
no
other
ground
.
Vse
2.
If
the
Lord's
Names
sake
be
the
only
plea
for
grace
,
then
let
poor
Sinners
drawing
near
to
God
by
Jesus
Christ
,
be
perswaded
that
't
is
a
good
plea
,
and
most
acceptable
before
the
Lord
.
Now
this
is
the
way
of
the
heart
of
poor
creatures
,
from
rooted
self-love
and
pride
,
we
think
,
if
God
could
give
out
good
unto
us
for
our
sakes
,
it
were
something
;
if
there
were
any
thing
to
be
beheld
in
us
that
were
commendable
to
the
Lord
,
I
could
go
with
some
confidence
;
but
seeing
't
is
thus
,
that
I
am
nothing
else
but
vile
before
him
,
how
can
I
go
to
him
?
with
what
face
?
or
,
how
can
he
give
out
unto
me
?
Sinner
;
be
as
low
as
thou
wilt
or
canst
;
but
reason
not
so
with
thy self
.
If
God
can
as
freely
,
as
fully
do
thee
good
,
all
good
,
for
his
own
Names
sake
,
and
hath
thereby
the
more
glory
by
it
;
why
shouldest
thou
so
stand
upon
thy
terms
with
God
,
and
not
be
as
willing
,
as
contented
,
to
accept
of
Mercy
,
all
mercy
,
for
Gods
own
Names
sake
,
as
well
as
for
thy
sake
?
'T
is
thy
pride
,
be
it
known
unto
thee
Sinner
,
as
thou
thinkest
thou
art
,
and
not
thy
lowliness
;
know
,
for
thy
comfort
,
God
can
more
readily
,
easily
,
do
thy
soul
good
,
upon
the
terms
he
now
is
,
for
his
own
sake
;
and
so
the
thing
be
done
,
thy
soul
pardoned
,
blessed
,
saved
,
and
all
shall
end
in
everlasting
love
upon
thee
,
let
the
Lord
have
all
the
Glory
,
though
thou
hast
nothing
to
boast
of
for
thy
own
sake
.
And
yet
also
know
,
that
when
the
Lord
saith
,
he
doth
it
for
his
own
sake
,
he
doth
not
exclude
that
he
hath
no
respect
and
love
unto
thee
;
but
that
the
great
and
highest
motive
with
God
was
,
and
is
,
his
own
Name
,
his
own
glorious
grace
,
why
he
ever
had
a
thought
of
good
to
an
undone
creature
;
that
there
was
no
motive
in
the
creature
,
unless
misery
,
which
is
no
glory
;
but
all
is
done
,
given
,
estated
upon
souls
,
undone
,
poor
Sinners
freely
,
for
his
own
sake
.
3.
Let
it
exhort
souls
to
make
use
of
this
plea
,
therefore
,
and
that
with
great
,
though
humble
confidence
;
It
never
failed
poor
Souls
since
the
world
was
,
that
made
use
of
it
when
they
were
low
and
helpless
,
and
eyed
and
pleaded
mercy
for
mercies
sake
,
they
had
it
,
and
never
went
away
but
blessed
.
The
Second
Treatise
.
Shewing
how
we
are
to
expect
Salvation
,
not
from
any
Righteousness
of
our
own
,
but
by
the
Righteousness
of
the
alone
Mediator
,
JESUS
CHRIST
;
how
we
shall
be
made
Partakers
thereof
,
and
Evidences
of
the
Truth
of
it
.
ROM.
3.19
,
20.
Now
we
know
,
that
what
things
soever
the
Law
saith
,
it
saith
to
them
who
are
under
the
Law
,
that
every
mouth
may
be
stopped
,
and
all
the
world
may
become
guilty
before
God
.
Therefore
by
the
deeds
of
the
Law
shall
no
flesh
be
justified
in
his
sight
,
&c.
HAving
spoken
,
as
the
Lord
hath
helped
me
,
as
to
the
weight
of
the
pardon
of
sin
,
and
the
way
to
it
;
I
now
come
to
open
the
compleating
this
mercy
in
a
poor
souls
compleat
justification
before
God
.
So
it
hath
pleased
the
Wisdom
of
God
to
order
the
way
of
his
glorious
mercy
to
poor
Sinners
that
shall
be
saved
,
that
he
doth
not
only
let
forth
free
grace
for
the
remission
of
their
sins
,
and
meerly
pardon
them
,
but
hath
so
blessedly
ordered
the
matter
,
to
bring
them
in
a
state
of
Righteousness
,
a
compleat
and
perfect
righteousness
,
as
Adam
in
his
perfect
estate
was
in
,
not
by
making
the
Sinner
personally
holy
and
righteous
in
himself
,
in
his
own
nature
,
but
by
giving
out
his
eternal
Son
Jesus
Christ
,
to
fulfill
all
righteousness
in
their
stead
,
by
satisfying
and
keeping
the
perfect
Law
of
righteousness
,
which
is
imputed
to
the
Believer
as
if
he
had
fulfilled
it
,
and
were
wholly
righteous
in
his
own
person
;
in
which
lies
the
great
mystery
of
the
Gospel
.
I
am
not
ashamed
of
the
Gospel
of
Christ
,
saith
Paul
,
&c.
for
therein
is
the
righteousness
of
God
revealed
from
faith
to
faith
,
&c.
Rom.
1.16
.
namely
▪
that
righteousness
of
Jesus
Christ
whereby
God
will
justifie
,
put
in
a
state
of
righteousness
,
made
over
to
them
by
faith
that
shall
be
pardoned
and
saved
.
To
endeavour
to
evince
and
discover
the
necessity
of
such
a
justification
,
and
the
nature
of
it
,
and
how
a
poor
soul
comes
to
be
invested
in
it
,
to
have
a
right
unto
it
,
is
my
design
,
as
the
Lord
shall
graciously
assist
in
this
ensuing
discourse
.
Oh
that
I
might
do
it
in
the
simplicity
of
the
Gospel
,
plainly
,
convincingly
,
spiritually
,
as
I
ought
to
speak
.
In
the
prosecuting
hereof
,
I
shall
first
shew
that
righteousness
is
not
to
be
attained
any
other
way
,
not
by
the
exactest
keeping
of
the
Law
,
so
as
to
commend
us
to
God
;
not
by
setting
our selves
to
keep
the
Law
of
God
as
well
as
we
can
,
and
so
we
hope
God
will
accept
of
it
;
which
being
naturally
rooted
in
the
hearts
of
all
,
I
find
it
the
hardest
piece
of
conviction
,
and
most
hardly
received
of
any
other
;
souls
are
a
thousand
times
more
easily
beaten
off
gross
sins
,
than
beaten
off
the
confidence
of
the
good
they
think
they
do
,
and
so
come
as
Nothing
else
but
sinners
to
Jesus
Christ
;
want
of
this
conviction
makes
all
the
Hypocrites
in
the
world
.
This
is
that
part
therefore
I
shall
first
begin
with
,
according
to
the
Apostles
Method
in
this
Epistle
.
The
Apostle
lays
down
his
Doctrine
,
which
he
was
to
prove
in
the
17th
.
verse
of
the
1st
.
Chapter
,
The
just
shall
live
by
faith
;
to
make
way
for
which
,
he
first
proves
in
the
remaining
part
of
the
first
Chap.
that
the
Gentiles
knowledge
of
God
,
which
they
had
by
the
things
that
are
made
.
The
Creation
and
Providence
of
God
over
the
world
,
left
them
in
unrighteousness
because
they
held
the
truth
(
of
the
being
of
a
God
)
in
unrighteousness
,
even
the
wisest
and
learnedst
of
them
,
such
as
professed
themselves
to
be
wise
,
verse
22.
and
brake
forth
into
Idolatry
and
all
abominations
,
for
which
cause
God
gave
them
up
,
&c.
verse
26
,
28.
At
the
17th
.
verse
of
the
2d
.
Chap.
The
Apostle
undertakes
the
Jew
,
strikes
off
all
his
priviledges
,
and
at
the
9th
.
verse
of
the
3d.
Chapter
,
concludes
both
Jew
and
Gentile
,
in
the
same
condition
,
as
to
the
obtaining
of
such
a
righteousness
by
the
Law
,
that
might
commend
either
to
God
;
What
then
are
we
,
(
who
are
Jews
)
better
than
they
,
(
who
are
Gentiles
?
)
No
,
in
no
wise
,
for
we
have
proved
that
Jews
and
Gentiles
are
all
under
sin
;
As
it
is
written
,
there
is
none
righteous
,
no
not
one
:
Which
he
further
proves
by
several
Scriptures
to
the
words
of
the
text
.
In
which
the
Apostle
prevents
an
objection
,
namely
,
that
some
might
urge
,
The
Scriptures
urged
may
concern
some
few
and
grosly
wicked
persons
,
and
not
all
mankind
in
general
:
No
such
matter
;
whatever
the
Law
saith
,
it
saith
to
them
that
are
under
the
law
,
which
are
all
the
Sons
and
Daughters
of
Adam
,
as
in
their
natural
corrupt
estate
;
All
under
the
Law
,
from
whence
the
Apostle
infers
,
(
1.
)
That
therefore
every
mouth
is
stopped
,
(
2.
)
All
the
world
is
guilty
before
God
.
(
3.
)
That
no
flesh
,
within
or
without
the
Church
,
can
be
justified
by
the
Law
.
From
whence
I
draw
these
four
plain
observations
,
to
prove
what
is
my
main
design
,
viz.
That
no
man
can
attain
to
such
a
measure
of
righteousness
by
all
that
ever
he
can
do
,
in
his
best
keeping
the
Law
,
as
may
commend
him
to
God
;
which
four
are
these
.
1.
Every
Son
and
Daughter
of
Adam
in
their
natural
estate
are
under
the
Law
.
2.
That
a
Transgressor
of
the
Law
hath
nothing
to
boast
in
,
nor
to
excuse
himself
from
his
sin
,
or
the
righteous
judgment
of
God
due
unto
him
.
[
That
every
mouth
may
be
stopped
.
]
3.
Every
Soul
in
the
world
is
under
guilt
and
condemnation
:
[
That
all
the
world
may
be
guilty
before
God
.
]
4.
Every
soul
lies
under
an
impossibility
of
reaching
to
such
a
Justification
,
by
the
best
keeping
of
the
Law
,
as
for
God
thereby
to
accept
of
him
.
I
intend
briefness
in
the
opening
of
these
,
and
what
plainness
also
the
Lord
shall
help
me
with
:
This
is
a
principle
rooted
in
the
hearts
of
all
the
Children
of
men
:
That
still
there
is
a
sufficiency
in
them
to
keep
the
Law
of
God
,
in
such
a
measure
as
God
will
accept
them
for
it
;
This
being
heightened
,
by
the
ignorance
of
times
,
and
darkness
of
Gospel
light
,
and
of
the
New
Covenant
of
Grace
,
upon
the
spirits
of
this
Generation
,
they
are
most
hardly
beaten
off
it
;
say
poor
souls
,
If
I
keep
Gods
law
as
well
as
I
can
,
and
worship
God
,
and
do
not
harm
my
Neighbour
,
God
will
accept
me
,
and
pardon
where
I
fail
;
but
to
be
convinced
that
all
that
keeping
of
the
law
is
made
void
by
one
sin
,
and
so
see
an
absolute
necessity
of
righteousness
,
another
way
and
out
of
themselves
by
Jesus
Christ
,
though
it
be
preacht
by
many
good
men
,
yet
few
,
very
few
,
in
this
Generation
live
in
the
practical
sense
and
sight
of
it
;
yea
,
how
many
professors
(
not
hereby
to
reproach
any
)
have
confessed
to
the
Glory
of
God
,
and
their
own
abasement
,
that
since
the
breaking
forth
of
a
fuller
light
of
the
nature
of
the
New
Covenant
,
Gospel
Grace
,
the
Righteousness
of
Christ
,
they
have
been
shaken
in
their
bottoms
,
being
legal
,
and
thought
if
they
took
up
from
their
sins
,
and
had
a
kind
of
sorrow
for
them
,
and
then
set
themselves
to
obey
the
law
strictly
,
be
close
in
the
Sabbath
,
and
some
such
duties
,
that
God
would
accept
them
,
being
still
ignorant
,
at
least
practically
,
that
when
they
were
convinced
of
sin
,
they
were
to
see
where
to
have
a
righteousness
,
and
how
to
get
into
Christ
,
and
have
life
and
strength
in
and
from
him
for
their
new
Obedicence
;
which
is
that
I
drive
at
in
this
,
and
my
afterwards
discourse
in
opening
the
New
Creature
,
as
in
Christ
.
Having
premised
this
,
I
come
to
speak
to
the
first
particular
laid
down
,
namely
,
Observ
.
1.
Every
son
and
daughter
of
Adam
in
their
natural
estate
are
under
the
Law
.
By
the
Law
,
I
do
not
mean
the
Mosaical
or
old
Testament
way
of
worship
:
But
by
the
law
,
I
understand
that
which
we
stile
the
moral
law
,
the
law
of
the
ten
Commandments
,
that
was
written
in
Adams
heart
,
and
afterwards
given
out
by
God
unto
Moses
at
Mount
Sinai
;
and
promised
in
the
New
Covenant
to
be
written
again
in
the
hearts
of
all
that
are
really
called
into
the
grace
of
ihe
Covenant
,
Ezek.
36.27
.
To
be
under
the
Law
,
is
an
Expression
familiar
to
you
,
you
know
what
it
is
to
live
under
a
law
:
To
be
under
this
law
of
God
then
bespeaks
these
things
.
1.
To
be
under
it
,
is
to
be
bound
over
to
the
exact
fulfilling
it
:
See
Rom.
10.15
.
For
Moses
describeth
the
righteousness
which
is
of
the
Law
,
that
the
man
which
doth
these
things
shall
live
by
them
;
that
is
it
,
to
be
bound
over
to
the
fulfilling
and
doing
of
the
law
,
which
if
done
exactly
,
without
the
least
deviation
,
there
is
life
promised
to
it
:
But
upon
the
least
transgression
of
it
,
to
be
liable
to
the
penalty
which
God
hath
pronounced
against
the
transgressors
of
it
.
2.
It
follows
thence
,
that
to
be
under
the
Law
,
is
to
be
bound
over
to
the
whole
Law
,
in
its
full
and
perfect
latitude
,
as
it
reacheth
the
whole
Man
.
Cursed
is
every
one
that
continueth
not
in
all
things
which
are
written
in
the
Book
of
the
Law
to
do
them
:
Mark
well
the
tenour
of
these
words
:
Here
is
required
of
every
one
an
exact
doing
(
not
only
purposing
and
thinking
to
do
;
)
and
that
not
only
of
some
or
the
most
of
the
Law
,
but
in
all
things
;
and
that
not
only
for
a
time
,
but
a
Continuance
of
doing
so
,
or
else
under
the
curse
:
One
sinful
thought
hath
a
curse
belonging
to
it
,
as
well
as
the
breach
of
the
whole
Law
,
if
under
the
Law
.
Whosoever
committeth
sin
,
transgresseth
also
the
Law
,
1
John
3.4
.
3.
To
be
under
the
Law
,
is
to
be
subject
to
,
and
to
be
under
all
the
curses
,
threatnings
,
judgments
,
wrath
,
that
it
threateneth
to
the
transgressors
of
it
,
here
and
for
ever
:
Whatsoever
the
Law
saith
,
in
point
also
of
judgment
and
wrath
,
it
saith
to
all
that
are
under
it
.
4.
To
be
under
it
,
is
to
be
bound
to
make
God
satisfaction
in
our
own
persons
for
the
breach
of
it
;
I
mean
,
while
under
it
,
every
soul
is
so
obliged
to
make
satisfaction
,
to
the
justice
of
God
:
If
a
poor
soul
be
in
his
natural
estate
,
and
so
under
the
Law
;
he
must
stand
or
fall
to
the
Law
:
God
expects
personal
satisfaction
from
every
soul
that
sinneth
against
it
,
that
will
stand
to
his
keeping
the
Law
,
in
whole
or
in
part
,
and
God
in
his
justice
can
bate
nothing
of
what
he
hath
spoken
.
Now
,
That
all
Men
and
Women
are
by
nature
,
as
of
and
in
the
first
Adam
,
thus
under
the
Law
,
to
wit
,
to
be
bound
up
to
it
,
and
to
have
life
only
upon
the
exact
and
perfect
fulfilling
of
it
,
to
be
bound
up
to
the
whole
Law
,
subject
to
the
curse
of
it
,
upon
the
transgression
of
one
part
,
bound
to
make
God
satisfaction
in
his
own
person
for
any
breach
thereof
,
I
briefly
prove
.
Saith
Paul
,
Rom.
6.14
.
Ye
are
not
under
the
Law
,
but
under
grace
;
Implying
,
till
a
soul
is
brought
under
grace
,
the
Covenant
of
grace
,
justifying
and
sanctifying
grace
,
in
and
by
Jesus
Christ
,
he
is
under
the
Law
,
whosoever
he
be
;
so
Gal.
4.5
.
—
To
redeem
them
that
were
under
the
law
,
&c.
implying
also
that
all
mankind
are
naturally
under
it
,
till
under
the
power
and
efficacy
and
priviledge
of
Christ's
Redemption
.
The
main
reasons
of
it
are
,
All
are
under
this
law
,
because
all
Mankind
were
bound
up
under
the
same
Covenant
with
Adam
,
who
was
a
publick
person
,
representing
all
mankind
,
as
a
man
may
bind
up
himself
and
his
posterity
to
such
and
such
Conditions
;
and
such
a
Covenant
,
decree
,
or
obligation
binds
his
posterity
in
Law
,
so
was
Adam
bound
up
to
God
;
See
Rom.
5.12
.
the
special
Scripture
that
proves
this
truth
;
Wherefore
as
by
one
man
sin
entred
into
the
world
,
and
death
by
sin
,
so
death
passed
upon
all
men
,
for
that
all
have
sinned
:
So
verse
16
,
17
,
18
,
19.
by
one
that
sinned
,
&c.
by
one
mans
offence
death
reigned
by
one
;
by
the
offence
of
one
judgment
came
upon
all
men
to
condemnation
:
By
one
mans
disobedience
many
were
made
sinners
:
Implying
clearly
,
that
the
guilt
of
Adam
,
as
representing
all
his
posterity
,
was
and
is
imputed
to
all
;
and
therefore
all
were
,
and
are
bound
over
to
the
same
Law
;
bottomed
upon
that
word
of
the
Lord
to
Adam
,
by
which
God
put
the
Covenant
upon
him
,
Gen.
2.17
.
For
in
the
day
that
thou
eatest
thereof
thou
shalt
surely
dye
▪
Adam
had
the
law
of
Holiness
and
Righteousness
,
the
Moral
Law
,
written
in
his
heart
before
,
and
his
nature
perfect
,
which
bound
him
over
to
obey
every
command
of
his
God
;
now
God
gave
out
that
external
law
unto
him
by
way
of
trial
,
in
which
the
form
of
the
Covenant
was
implied
;
but
sinning
against
that
,
he
transgressed
the
Moral
law
,
written
in
his
heart
also
,
which
bound
him
over
to
obey
God
in
all
things
;
so
that
the
sin
of
Adam
was
(
at
least
virtually
)
a
transgression
of
the
moral
law
,
now
abiding
and
obliging
mankind
;
which
law
we
all
brake
in
him
,
as
it
was
given
to
all
in
him
,
and
being
written
in
Adam's
heart
,
it
was
as
much
as
if
it
had
been
actually
written
in
the
hearts
of
all
mankind
;
which
doth
also
appear
by
the
remnants
of
the
Law
,
(
as
that
there
is
a
God
,
and
man
should
be
just
,
)
and
remaining
in
the
hearts
of
all
:
Therefore
by
nature
we
are
all
bound
up
to
,
and
are
under
this
law
.
2.
It
doth
appear
that
all
do
sin
and
transgress
this
law
of
God
,
therefore
they
are
under
the
penalty
and
condemnation
of
it
:
This
Argument
the
Apostle
brings
to
prove
the
same
thing
,
verse
9.
of
this
3d.
of
the
Rom.
—
For
we
have
before
proved
both
Jews
and
Gentiles
,
that
they
are
all
under
sin
:
And
verse
12.
They
are
all
gone
out
of
the
way
,
they
are
together
become
unprofitable
,
there
is
none
that
doth
good
,
no
not
one
;
Thefore
seeing
all
do
sin
,
they
are
bound
to
answer
the
law
(
as
you
use
to
phrase
it
,
)
and
are
subject
to
whatsoever
the
Law
pronounceth
against
the
transgressors
of
it
.
3.
All
the
partial
keeping
of
the
Law
,
will
not
deliver
a
Soul
from
that
penalty
that
belongs
to
the
breach
of
the
whole
:
Keep
me
all
or
none
,
as
to
your
deliverance
from
the
curse
,
saith
the
law
.
But
this
I
am
further
to
prove
,
when
I
speak
to
the
next
verse
,
The
impossibility
of
a
sinners
being
accepted
by
his
best
keeping
of
the
law
.
Vse
1.
Are
all
Men
and
Women
in
the
World
,
young
and
old
,
naturally
under
the
law
,
bound
over
to
the
most
exact
and
rigorous
fulfilling
it
under
a
curse
,
and
are
indeed
under
all
the
curses
and
threatnings
it
pronounceth
,
and
bound
to
make
God
satisfaction
in
your
persons
,
while
you
are
under
it
?
Oh!
let
every
poor
Sinner
be
convinced
of
it
,
what
a
state
is
this
for
any
poor
soul
to
rest
it self
satisfied
in
?
who
is
the
man
or
woman
that
is
not
a
transgressor
of
it
?
and
therefore
see
to
it
,
and
that
before
the
execution
of
judgment
come
upon
thee
without
remedy
.
Sinner
,
if
thou
wast
condemned
by
the
Law
,
and
under
a
sense
of
death
,
how
wouldst
beg
for
a
reprieve
?
and
beg
of
all
thy
friends
to
interpose
for
thee
;
what
an
amazing
word
would
it
be
to
thee
?
Thou
art
condemned
to
dye
.
Ah
sinner
,
't
is
the
case
of
thy
precious
soul
,
Thou
art
condemn'd
to
eternal
death
,
by
the
law
of
God
,
the
sentence
is
pronounc'd
from
the
righteous
Judge
of
Heaven
;
Away
Sinner
,
with
all
speed
to
a
Mercy
seat
.
Acknowledge
thy
condemation
just
by
the
Law
,
go
to
the
great
and
potent
Advocate
of
Heaven
,
Jesus
Christ
the
righteous
;
put
thy
case
into
his
hand
,
tell
him
thou
bast
none
else
to
make
to
,
and
that
thou
hast
heard
he
hath
helped
many
a
condemned
Sinner
,
in
the
same
case
as
thou
art
;
and
that
thou
hast
heard
he
hath
laid
down
a
price
for
such
as
thou
art
to
redeem
them
from
the
curse
of
the
Law
:
Follow
him
,
and
if
he
speak
but
a
word
to
the
just
and
great
God
for
thee
,
the
sentence
of
the
law
is
remitted
,
a
pardon
of
grace
comes
forth
,
and
at
last
the
Holy
Ghost
shall
be
sent
from
the
Father
,
and
the
Son
to
witness
it
,
and
seal
it
in
thy
own
Conscience
;
and
that
blessed
word
shall
be
thine
,
Therefore
there
is
now
no
condemnation
,
&c.
who
shall
condemn
me
,
since
Jesus
Christ
hath
cleared
me
?
and
hath
made
the
Court
of
Heaven
for
me
?
Go
and
ponder
in
thy
soul
every
day
;
and
say
,
Is'
t
nothing
to
be
under
a
Curse
?
condemned
by
a
Law
to
be
damned
for
ever
?
shall
I
let
my
poor
soul
lie
in
such
a
case
one
hour
longer
,
especially
when
a
way
I
hear
is
open'd
to
me
to
get
from
under
it
?
Say
,
what
satisfaction
can
I
,
wretched
creature
,
make
to
the
righteous
God
?
None
,
but
by
suffering
what
infinite
justice
will
lay
upon
me
,
which
is
no
less
than
infinite
punishment
.
Oh!
get
in
upon
thy
conscience
,
what
it
is
to
be
condemned
by
the
great
God
,
to
lye
under
guilt
,
to
have
no
plea
or
excuse
by
the
Law
left
thee
;
which
I
will
labour
to
prove
to
thy
conscience
,
and
then
further
urge
thee
,
which
is
the
import
of
the
next
point
.
Obser
.
2.
A
transgressor
of
the
law
,
as
he
hath
nothing
to
boast
in
,
so
he
hath
nothing
to
excuse
himself
for
his
sin
,
or
from
the
righteous
judgment
of
God
due
unto
him
;
which
is
drawn
from
these
words
—
That
every
mouth
may
be
stopped
,
&c.
This
the
Apostle
intimates
,
Rom.
2.1
.
Therefore
thou
art
inexcusable
,
O
man
,
&c.
speaking
to
the
Jew
who
went
about
to
free
himself
.
And
the
judgment
of
God
is
according
to
truth
,
against
them
which
do
such
things
,
verse
.
2.
Reason
1.
A
poor
sinner
hath
nothing
to
excuse
himself
for
sinning
against
the
law
of
God
,
because
the
law
is
good
and
righteous
,
Rom.
7.12
.
Therefore
the
law
is
holy
,
and
the
Commandment
holy
,
just
,
and
good
,
saith
Paul
,
when
he
was
under
such
a
Conviction
of
sinning
against
it
as
we
are
pressing
;
So
1
Tim.
1.8
.
But
we
know
that
the
law
is
good
,
&c.
'T
is
a
Law
that
gives
glory
to
the
Creator
,
and
all
good
and
blessedness
(
as
in
it self
)
to
the
Creature
▪
A
Law
that
's
full
of
all
wisdom
and
blessedness
,
takes
care
for
the
good
,
blessing
,
peace
,
order
of
the
whole
Creation
,
that
man
might
not
sin
against
his
Maker
,
nor
,
in
the
least
,
harm
(
nor
think
to
do
so
)
his
fellow
creature
,
so
that
its
proper
end
is
goodness
,
preservation
to
all
;
Now
what
excuse
for
a
creature
,
most
concern'd
in
the
good
of
it
,
for
sinning
against
such
a
Law
?
what
hath
a
creature
to
say
for
himself
?
how
inexcusable
is
he
before
God
,
Angels
,
and
Men
?
2.
God
writ
this
holy
and
blessed
Law
in
the
heart
of
Adam
,
as
he
was
a
publick
person
,
whereby
he
,
and
in
him
all
mankind
,
had
power
to
keep
it
,
therefore
the
sinner
hath
no
excuse
before
God
;
He
gave
man
a
power
,
though
he
did
not
lay
a
necessity
upon
his
will
,
but
left
them
to
the
liberty
of
it
,
but
man
corrupted
himself
,
Gen.
6.12
.
Whereby
he
disabled
himself
from
keeping
the
Law
:
Now
if
a
man
disable
himself
,
it
can
be
no
rational
excuse
for
neglecting
the
duty
,
so
that
his
Mouth
is
stopped
as
to
any
plea
or
excuse
before
the
Lord
.
3.
Though
man
had
blurred
and
defaced
the
fair
and
original
Copy
of
this
holy
and
good
law
written
in
his
heart
,
yet
God
gave
it
forth
again
by
Moses
in
Legible
Characters
,
one
end
whereof
was
to
leave
all
Mankind
without
excuse
;
therefore
this
strikes
off
all
plea
for
the
sinner
,
especially
to
such
to
whom
it
is
revealed
.
4.
There
is
a
remnant
of
this
Law
yet
in
the
heart
of
Adam
,
which
though
not
sufficient
to
enable
him
to
an
exact
performance
of
it
,
yet
enough
to
leave
him
without
excuse
;
so
Paul
,
Rom.
2.15
.
to
prove
this
point
we
are
now
upon
,
speaking
of
the
Gentiles
,
—
Which
shew
the
works
of
the
Law
written
in
their
hearts
,
their
Conscience
also
bearing
witness
,
and
their
thoughts
the
mean
while
accusing
,
or
else
excusing
one
another
.
There
is
enough
of
the
law
remaining
in
every
mans
heart
to
accuse
him
,
when
he
doth
evil
;
and
excuse
him
so
far
as
he
doth
right
,
though
man
by
habitual
sinning
,
doth
much
stifle
it
;
so
that
this
also
helps
to
aggravate
his
sin
,
and
to
leave
him
without
all
plea
or
excuse
.
5.
There
is
that
to
be
known
of
God
,
in
the
creatures
,
that
may
and
doth
leave
a
sinner
without
all
excuse
for
sinning
against
him
;
this
the
Apostle
argues
as
to
this
very
purpose
,
Rom.
1.20
.
For
the
invisible
things
of
him
from
the
Creation
of
the
World
,
are
clearly
seen
,
being
understood
by
the
things
that
are
made
,
even
his
eternal
power
and
god
head
,
so
that
they
are
without
excuse
,
&c.
The
creatures
could
not
say
,
we
will
make
our selves
thus
and
thus
,
and
subsist
in
such
an
order
and
harmony
;
therefore
there
was
one
first
Infinite
Being
,
who
made
all
things
,
and
by
the
same
power
doth
uphold
them
,
to
which
first
Being
,
all
the
creatures
must
owe
their
homage
and
conformity
:
Now
though
such
a
glimmering
of
light
can
never
suffice
to
lead
a
soul
to
the
true
worshipping
of
God
,
as
the
Apostle
there
argues
,
yet
it
leaves
the
creature
without
excuse
,
which
is
that
I
am
proving
from
it
.
6.
All
the
Children
of
men
do
sin
presumptuously
,
wilfully
,
and
obstinately
,
against
the
Law
of
God
;
mans
sin
being
not
so
much
from
his
weakness
to
obey
the
law
,
(
though
weak
he
is
)
but
from
the
rebellion
of
his
will
against
God
and
his
law
;
as
it
is
in
the
case
of
disobeying
the
call
of
the
Gospel
also
:
Now
whatsoever
a
man
doth
presumptuously
and
wilfully
,
it
leaves
him
without
all
excuse
;
and
this
is
it
that
is
charged
upon
the
Children
of
men
,
by
the
holy
Ghost
in
the
word
,
that
their
sin
was
obstinate
rebellion
against
the
great
God
.
From
all
these
,
the
truth
of
the
Assertion
doth
appear
,
that
every
Transgressor
of
the
Law
is
without
all
excuse
before
God
.
7.
As
the
Creature
hath
no
excuse
for
his
sin
,
so
it
follows
he
hath
no
pretence
against
the
righteous
judgment
of
God
;
We
are
sure
the
judgment
of
God
is
according
to
truth
,
Rom.
2.2
.
and
Chap.
3.4
.
That
thou
may'st
be
justified
in
thy
savings
,
and
clear
when
thou
art
judged
;
that
is
,
whatever
any
sinner
may
dispute
to
the
contrary
,
God
is
righteous
when
he
judgeth
;
if
the
Law
be
just
,
and
holy
,
and
good
,
once
written
in
his
his
heart
,
and
had
a
power
to
have
kept
it
,
that
God
hath
given
out
this
law
again
to
him
,
the
remnants
of
it
in
his
heart
,
so
much
to
be
known
of
God
in
the
Creatures
,
and
that
he
sins
presumptuously
and
wilfully
against
God
,
and
so
blessed
a
law
,
made
for
his
own
good
,
certainly
must
every
sinner
conclude
,
the
Lord
is
righteous
when
he
judgeth
,
and
every
mouth
must
be
stopped
.
Vse
1.
If
it
be
so
,
that
no
sinner
in
the
world
hath
any
justifiable
excuse
for
his
sin
,
then
let
this
truth
come
in
into
your
consciences
,
and
strike
off
all
vain
pretences
,
and
wretched
excuses
,
when
you
have
sinned
against
the
Lord
;
which
usually
are
such
as
these
,
when
sinners
break
forth
into
this
or
that
rebellious
way
,
they
cry
,
Oh!
't
is
my
nature
,
my
natural
disposition
;
and
then
they
think
that
excuseth
or
allayeth
the
matter
,
whereas
it
aggravates
,
for
we
our selves
corrupted
our
natures
.
Saith
another
,
I
have
been
so
accustomed
to
such
a
way
,
to
drink
to
excess
,
sometimes
to
swear
,
to
use
the
Lords
name
vainly
,
and
as
a
by-word
;
whereas
the
custom
of
sinning
is
the
greatest
and
most
grievous
aggravation
of
it
.
Saith
another
,
't
is
my
company
that
draws
me
,
or
the
example
of
others
,
or
't
is
my
temptation
,
when
they
are
under
the
Spirit
that
worketh
in
the
children
of
disobedience
:
Or
,
that
they
do
keep
the
Law
as
well
as
they
can
,
and
think
this
will
excuse
:
Whereas
nothing
,
no
plea
that
ever
a
sinful
deceitful
heart
put
up
,
or
that
the
Devil
suggests
,
can
before
God
excuse
any
sinner
in
the
world
,
rich
or
poor
,
knowing
or
ignorant
,
from
the
exact
and
perfect
keeeping
of
the
Law
,
(
if
they
are
under
the
Law
)
but
upon
one
transgression
of
it
,
the
law
doth
most
justly
condemn
and
curse
them
.
Nothing
is
more
natural
to
fallen
man
,
under
sin
,
than
when
having
sinned
,
to
devise
an
excuse
,
and
thinks
and
surmiseth
,
that
because
such
an
excuse
will
be
taken
by
his
own
blinded
Conscience
,
therefore
God
will
also
accept
of
it
,
and
so
flatters
himself
in
his
own
eyes
,
till
his
iniquity
be
found
to
be
hateful
,
Psal.
36.2
.
Thus
Adam
as
soon
as
he
had
sinn'd
,
he
thought
how
to
excuse
the
matter
,
puts
it
off
to
the
woman
,
and
the
woman
to
the
Devil
,
which
trade
sinners
have
well
learnt
,
and
have
driven
it
on
ever
since
to
their
own
damnation
:
Observe
this
,
if
every
sinner
,
yet
under
the
law
,
and
the
power
of
sin
,
had
not
some
vain
pretence
and
excuse
to
ensilence
conscience
,
and
foolishly
thinks
to
insinuate
unto
God
,
he
or
she
,
must
needs
fall
down
before
the
Lord
,
see
all
their
pretences
and
coverts
to
be
damnable
flatteries
,
and
soul-cheatings
,
and
so
Judge
themselves
,
and
pronounce
God
most
righteous
,
if
he
damn
them
for
ever
.
Oh
therefore
,
Sinners
,
Away
with
all
your
pretences
,
no
more
excusing
,
but
judging
,
and
go
to
the
great
God
,
and
fall
down
at
his
feet
,
crying
out
,
Oh
,
I
am
a
Transgressor
,
the
Law
condemns
me
,
no
excuse
will
be
taken
,
my
mouth
is
now
stopped
;
whatever
God
do
with
me
,
he
is
most
holy
and
righteous
.
If
I
were
going
to
Hell
I
must
justifie
God
,
and
cannot
say
unto
him
,
why
doest
thou
thus
?
Thus
't
is
with
a
poor
soul
,
when
the
Lord
by
his
word
and
spirit
discovers
sin
,
reveals
the
law
,
lays
it
in
upon
the
conscience
,
discovers
the
Holiness
and
Exactness
of
his
Justice
,
that
the
law
shews
no
mercy
,
but
crys
out
for
fulfilling
,
or
pronounceth
absolute
condemnation
,
then
I
say
,
a
sinner
crys
out
,
Oh
I
am
cast
by
the
Law
,
I
am
gone
by
the
Law
,
All
my
Pleas
are
found
too
light
,
All
my
endeavours
to
keep
it
is
worth
nothing
,
if
guilty
in
the
least
,
while
I
am
under
the
law
.
I
must
find
out
a
righteousness
elsewhere
,
another
way
,
or
Condemnation
,
just
condemnation
is
my
portion
for
ever
;
Here
's
the
first
stroak
of
a
convinced
sinner
,
when
God
is
outing
him
from
himself
,
and
all
his
Coverts
or
Excuses
,
and
brings
him
naked
to
put
on
the
righteousness
of
his
Son
Jesus
Christ
,
freely
held
out
in
the
Gospel
;
which
is
the
work
in
hand
.
2.
If
no
excuse
can
be
heard
or
taken
,
for
the
the
transgression
of
the
Law
,
for
but
one
breach
of
it
,
but
every
mouth
is
stopped
;
how
much
less
will
any
excuse
be
taken
,
for
withstanding
the
Gospel
of
grace
by
Jesus
Christ
.
Saith
our
blessed
Lord
,
If
I
had
not
come
and
spoken
unto
them
,
they
had
not
had
sin
,
(
that
is
not
so
great
sin
and
comdemnation
)
but
now
they
have
no
cloak
(
nor
excuse
)
for
their
sin
;
If
a
righteous
law
leave
all
the
world
without
excuse
,
much
more
a
Gospel
that
offers
free
grace
,
and
pardon
,
and
righteousness
,
by
Jesus
Christ
to
any
sinner
,
condemned
by
the
Law
,
that
will
come
in
,
as
so
condemn'd
,
and
accept
of
the
free
gift
of
Righteousness
by
him
.
But
that
I
may
yet
a
little
further
labour
to
bring
in
the
sense
of
Guilt
upon
the
soul
,
I
shall
prove
every
soul
guilty
before
God
of
the
transgression
of
the
Law
,
and
shew
what
the
sense
of
guilt
is
,
which
few
there
are
that
have
,
in
a
saving
way
.
Observ
.
3.
Every
soul
in
the
world
is
guilty
before
God
of
the
transgression
of
the
Law
.
—
And
all
the
world
may
become
guilty
before
God
.
This
hath
been
proved
,
where
we
have
shew'd
that
All
have
sinned
,
and
come
short
of
the
glory
of
God
.
This
guilt
is
threefold
,
which
is
set
home
upon
every
sinners
heart
,
when
convinc'd
of
sin
by
the
spirit
.
1.
The
guilt
of
Adams
sin
,
which
stands
charg'd
upon
every
sinner
in
the
world
,
while
under
the
law
,
Rom.
5.18
.
2.
The
guilt
of
the
corruption
of
our
natures
,
sin
in
the
fountain
,
as
I
have
shewed
,
which
is
likewise
upon
every
Son
or
Daughter
of
Adam
,
they
are
all
corrupt
,
Psal.
14.1
.
wherein
lies
the
exceeding
sinfulness
of
sin
.
3.
The
guilt
of
actual
rebellion
against
God
,
sin
brought
forth
,
and
acted
in
the
outward
man
against
God
.
Now
under
this
threefold
guilt
is
every
sinner
in
the
world
,
while
under
the
Law
,
the
effect
of
which
,
if
not
reconciled
,
is
punishment
suitable
to
the
guilt
;
which
is
—
Thou
shalt
surely
dye
,
And
The
wages
of
sin
is
death
,
Eternal
Death
,
Rom.

last

Vse
1.
This
may
therefore
inform
and
convince
,
that
every
sin
brings
guilt
upon
the
soul
,
and
so
deserves
death
and
everlasting
wrath
from
God
;
you
that
make
light
of
sin
,
to
lye
,
to
prophane
the
Name
of
the
Lord
,
be
in
worldly
discourses
on
the
Lords
day
,
in
any
way
of
sin
whatsoever
,
weigh
this
in
thy
conscience
,
there
's
not
the
least
sin
but
makes
thee
guilty
before
the
Tribunal
of
God
;
God
,
the
Law
,
Angels
,
Conscience
,
are
all
witnesses
against
thee
;
where
's
the
soul
that
will
think
to
avoid
this
charge
?
shall
I
prove
every
soul
of
you
guilty
,
and
that
before
God
?
If
this
were
proved
by
the
power
of
the
word
in
the
conscience
,
I
know
what
(
and
I
shall
shew
it
you
)
will
be
the
effect
of
it
;
lay
your
Consciences
to
the
Word
,
and
if
thou
art
found
guilty
before
the
Lord
this
day
,
go
home
with
the
sense
of
it
upon
thy
soul
,
and
do
as
a
guilty
sinner
should
do
.
1.
Consider
first
,
as
to
what
concerns
God
,
immediately
;
the
Law
requires
,
thou
shouldst
have
no
other
Gods
but
him
,
Exod.
20.
which
Jesus
Christ
interprets
,
is
,
to
love
the
Lord
thy
God
with
all
thy
Heart
,
with
all
thy
Soul
:
Now
,
hath
God
had
thy
whole
Heart
and
Soul
,
darest
thou
say
so
?
Hath
not
the
world
had
more
of
thy
Heart
than
God
?
Dost
not
thou
love
the
World
,
and
the
things
of
it
?
Do
not
thy
Affections
,
Thoughts
,
Desires
of
thy
Heart
,
even
day
and
night
,
go
after
it
?
Yea
,
you
cannot
but
grant
,
that
't
is
so
?
Then
God
and
Angels
are
witness
,
that
thou
art
guilty
of
the
damnable
sin
of
Idolatry
.
And
such
a
one
shall
not
,
as
such
,
enter
into
the
Kingdom
of
God
,
Eph.
5.5
.
Know
by
that
Scripture
,
A
covetous
heart
may
send
thee
to
Hell
,
as
well
as
any
sin
in
the
World
:
—
No
Covetous
man
who
is
an
Idolater
,
shall
enter
into
the
kingdom
of
God
.
Read
over
the
place
every
day
,
and
tremble
at
it
:
Here
's
guilt
already
enough
to
damn
thee
.
2.
Thou
hast
worshipped
God
superstitiously
and
idolatrously
,
after
the
Traditions
and
Commandments
of
Men
:
You
that
are
elderly
people
,
are
all
guilty
here
in
a
grevious
manner
in
the
time
of
your
ignorance
and
superstition
,
coming
to
Sacraments
with
sins
upon
your
Souls
,
from
which
sins
your
are
not
converted
,
and
changed
to
this
day
,
which
the
Apostle
calls
eating
and
drinking
damnation
,
or
judgment
;
under
which
guilt
you
still
lye
,
and
would
heap
up
more
of
this
guilt
,
were
not
some
more
tender
of
your
Souls
than
your selves
?
Art
thou
not
now
ready
to
cry
out
,
Oh
hold
,
hold
,
you
need
go
no
further
,
my
Conscience
is
smitten
:
Oh!
guilt
,
great
guilt
lyes
upon
me
!
Oh
that
't
were
the
cry
of
many
Souls
before
the
Lord
,
how
might
it
end
in
mercy
that
shall
be
for
ever
!
3.
But
yet
further
to
pursue
thy
Conscience
,
(
for
that
's
the
nature
of
guilt
)
doth
not
the
Lord
require
in
his
law
,
that
thou
shouldst
not
take
his
Name
in
vain
,
Exod.
20.7
.
Now
sinner
,
stave
off
this
guilt
if
thou
canst
:
How
oft
hast
thou
abused
and
profaned
this
great
and
dreadful
Name
,
the
Lord
thy
God
,
by
swearing
,
or
in
thy
by
words
,
crying
,
Oh
Lord
,
Oh
God
,
for
God's
sake
,
for
Christ's
sake
,
upon
every
foolish
vain
occasion
,
with
no
more
reverence
of
His
Name
,
than
the
most
common
name
in
the
World
?
And
some
of
you
have
,
as
many
days
as
you
have
lived
since
your
Child-hood
,
been
frequently
guilty
of
this
great
evil
,
which
thou
hast
made
a
small
matter
of
,
which
if
ever
God
pardon
it
,
it
will
appear
to
be
odious
guilt
,
from
the
height
of
thy
Heart-Atheism
.
How
oft
hast
thou
heard
the
Word
,
and
thy
Heart
been
after
the
World
,
and
thine
eyes
gazing
up
and
down
,
that
't
is
easie
to
discern
thou
regardest
not
what
is
spoken
from
God
to
thee
?
and
the
same
in
Prayer
:
How
oft
hast
thou
babled
over
the
Lords
Prayer
like
a
Charm
,
with
no
reverence
of
Gods
Majesty
upon
thy
Soul
:
In
thy
bed
,
it
may
be
in
a
drowsie
manner
,
or
if
otherwise
,
not
understanding
the
Words
thou
speakest
,
much
less
thy
Heart
affected
with
them
;
or
,
it
may
be
,
saying
over
the
Creed
,
and
the
Commandments
,
or
some
Book
of
Prayers
,
as
abundance
do
,
grievously
prophaning
God's
Name
,
and
offering
Lip-labour
,
which
his
soul
abhorreth
;
yea
,
know
,
what
hath
been
often
proved
,
that
thy
prayers
,
and
all
thy
worship
,
and
good
deeds
,
(
as
thou
callest
them
)
are
an
abomination
to
the
Lord
,
while
thou
art
in
thy
sin
,
an
unconverted
and
unholy
person
;
yea
,
the
way
of
thy
worship
,
in
which
thou
placest
thy
greatest
confidence
,
hath
been
the
highest
aggravations
of
thy
sin
,
in
offering
up
to
God
that
which
his
soul
hateth
;
Isa.
1.11

,

15.
—
When
you
make
many
prayers
(
saith
the
Lord
)
I
will
not
hear
you
,
&c.
And
as
to
the
sanctifying
the
Sabbath
,
which
thou
shouldst
make
a
holy
rest
unto
God
,
thou
hast
made
it
a
meer
fleshly
rest
,
consuming
the
day
upon
thy
lusts
,
in
vanity
,
idleness
,
carnal
and
worldly
discourses
in
families
,
in
the
streets
,
to
the
high
dishonour
of
the
Name
of
God
,
and
hardening
of
thy
heart
against
the
truths
of
God
,
rendering
thereby
the
preaching
of
the
Gospel
wholly
unprofitable
to
thy
soul
:
A
carriage
far
unlike
a
man
that
hath
the
grace
of
God
upon
him
,
and
a
most
invincible
argument
to
thy
Conscience
,
that
thou
makest
not
God
,
his
word
,
ordinances
sabbaths
,
a
holy
delight
,
and
knowest
not
the
excellency
and
sweetness
of
Communion
with
him
;
say
,
sinner
,
and
lay
thy
Conscience
to
this
conviction
,
is
hearing
and
that
with
love
,
praying
,
praising
,
meditating
,
conferring
of
holy
things
,
the
very
Heaven
of
thy
soul
,
and
so
longest
for
such
Exercises
,
as
the
joy
and
strength
of
thy
heart
?
Nothing
less
!
Thy
own
Conscience
being
Judge
;
but
hear
drowsily
and
negligently
,
it
may
be
despisingly
;
revile
the
Preacher
,
speak
evil
of
the
word
,
out
of
thy
gross
ignorance
,
and
hatred
to
be
reformed
,
speak
vainly
,
carnally
,
worldly
,
with
such
as
are
like
thy self
.
Here
's
guilt
enough
to
send
thee
to
a
thousand
Hells
,
if
God
smite
not
thy
heart
for
it
,
and
thou
turn
not
unto
him
for
pardon
and
a
better
heart
to
be
given
to
thee
.
Add
to
all
this
,
an
unthankful
and
unholy
use
of
Gods
good
Creatures
;
it
may
be
thou
hast
been
betray'd
by
the
devil
,
and
thy
own
ready
heart
to
some
secret
sins
,
which
thou
thinkest
enough
if
thou
canst
hide
from
man
,
not
considering
the
judgment
of
God
that
hangs
over
thee
.
But
if
not
so
,
yet
a
heart
full
of
uncleanness
,
envy
,
wrath
,
malice
;
which
our
Lord
Jesus
Christ
,
in
his
opening
the
Law
in
its
spirituality
,
Mat.
5.21
,
22
,
27
,
28.
convinceth
to
be
murder
and
adultery
,
which
it
may
be
,
thou
hast
never
considered
of
,
so
thou
hast
not
been
an
actual
adulterer
,
or
murderer
.
In
a
word
,
There
's
not
a
vain
thought
in
thy
heart
,
the
first
rising
of
it
,
but
brings
thee
under
the
guilt
of
condemation
of
the
Law
,
and
as
thou
art
under
the
Law
,
as
if
a
transgressor
in
thought
,
word
,
and
deed
of
the
whole
Law
;
This
may
seem
strange
to
thee
,
but
see
it
proved
,
Jam.
2.10
.
For
whosoever
shall
keep
the
whole
Law
,
and
yet
offend
in
one
point
is
guilty
of
all
.
But
it
hath
been
proved
that
thou
art
guilty
of
the
breach
of
every
Commandment
of
God
,
from
thy
youth
up
.
But
see
further
,
sinner
,
(
that
some
word
of
God
or
other
may
hit
thee
)
this
Law
could
not
condemn
thee
;
wouldst
thou
have
been
convinc'd
of
guilt
,
and
made
in
to
grace
by
Jesus
Christ
,
but
thou
art
under
the
guilt
of
Gospel-contempt
;
Come
sinner
,
saith
Jesus
Christ
,
see
what
I
can
and
will
do
for
thee
,
I
'll
save
thee
from
this
condemning
Law
,
I
'll
take
away
the
curse
,
I
'll
remove
all
thy
guilt
,
blot
out
all
the
charge
that
is
against
thee
,
I
'll
put
a
righteousness
upon
thee
,
I
'll
bestow
my
spirit
upon
thee
,
I
'll
give
thee
a
heart
to
love
God
and
his
Law
,
and
in
the
inward
man
to
delight
to
walk
in
it
,
and
then
take
thee
to
Heaven
,
and
fill
thee
with
glory
for
ever
.
All
this
Heaven
of
mercy
and
free
grace
thou
hast
sleighted
and
sinned
against
,
and
brought
thy self
under
greater
condemnation
,
than
by
the
law
:
And
yet
,
by
the
way
,
Jesus
Christ
will
do
as
much
for
thee
still
as
I
have
spoken
of
,
and
more
:
Though
thou
hast
thus
sinned
against
Law
and
Gospel
,
if
thou
wilt
come
a
poor
,
undone
,
guilty
soul
,
unto
him
,
which
is
that
I
aim
at
in
thus
pressing
upon
thee
;
and
were
the
sense
of
guilt
indeed
upon
thy
soul
,
thou
wouldst
seriously
hearken
to
me
.
Therefore
yet
further
bear
with
me
,
Take
home
this
guilt
to
thy
Conscience
,
and
say
,
Oh
guilty
,
guilty
,
of
all
that
hath
been
this
day
charged
from
the
righteous
God
upon
me
!
Oh
may
the
Lord
find
thee
out
this
day
,
and
lay
in
the
fresh
sense
of
the
guilt
of
sins
,
even
of
such
thou
hast
long
since
committed
!
do
not
justifie
nor
excuse
thy self
any
longer
;
for
that
's
the
natural
way
of
thy
heart
,
as
thou
hast
been
shewed
.
Never
did
guilty
prisoner
at
the
bar
find
more
shifts
,
more
subtle
pleas
,
than
the
proud
and
shameless
heart
of
a
sinner
will
do
,
till
God
himself
pronounce
guilt
in
the
conscience
,
and
then
the
guilt
of
one
sin
laid
in
,
brings
in
the
guilt
of
all
other
,
and
they
sometimes
come
in
like
waves
and
billows
upon
thy
soul
;
Oh
,
let
the
sense
of
thy
lying
,
swearing
,
prophaning
the
Sabbath
,
slighting
the
word
,
refusing
Jesus
Christ
,
out
of
thy
secret
hatred
of
holiness
,
reproaching
the
people
of
God
,
because
in
their
practice
they
condemn
thee
,
Oh
let
this
,
any
,
all
,
seize
upon
thee
,
go
and
lye
low
before
the
great
God
,
judging
,
charging
,
condemning
thy self
,
and
say
;
God
and
his
Word
hath
found
me
out
this
day
,
and
I
go
home
with
at
arrow
of
God
in
my
conscience
,
I
am
the
Man
or
Woman
,
that
am
found
the
guiltiest
soul
in
the
Congregation
;
how
to
be
delivered
and
saved
from
it
,
that
's
my
business
now
.
Blessed
be
the
advice
and
counsel
now
,
(
which
formerly
I
despised
)
of
any
good
man
that
speaks
in
the
Name
of
the
Lord
unto
me
,
and
will
show
me
there
is
yet
hope
for
so
wretched
a
creature
as
I
am
.
Particularly
,
these
are
the
effects
of
the
sense
of
the
guilt
of
sin
,
wrought
by
the
Holy
Ghost
upon
the
conscience
of
a
poor
soul
,
in
order
to
his
salvation
.
1.
Fear
of
wrath
to
come
,
more
or
less
,
possesseth
the
heart
;
can
a
man
be
guilty
and
not
fear
,
if
truly
sensible
of
it
?
This
was
upon
Adam
,
after
he
had
sinned
,
and
heard
Gods
voice
,
which
struck
him
with
sense
of
guilt
,
Gen.
3.10
.
I
heard
thy
voice
and
was
afraid
;
so
when
guilt
came
upon
Belshazzar
,
his
thoughts
troubled
him
,
Dan.
5.6
.
Felix
trembled
,
Acts
24.25
.
The
Jaylor
came
trembling
,
Acts
16.29
.
The
fear
of
wrath
,
the
fear
of
a
miscarrying
soul
,
the
fear
of
eternity
,
seizeth
upon
the
spirit
of
a
poor
creature
;
and
then
't
is
an
infinite
weighty
matter
with
a
poor
soul
to
be
saved
.
2.
Shame
is
another
effect
of
guilt
brought
in
upon
the
conscience
:
So
Adam
likewese
was
ashamed
,
and
hid
himself
,
because
he
was
naked
,
Gen.
3.
What
fruit
had
you
in
those
things
whereof
you
are
now
ashamed
;
Rom.
6.21
.
So
Ezek.
16.
last
.
That
thou
mayest
remember
and
be
confounded
,
and
never
open
thy
mouth
any
more
,
because
of
thy
shame
,
when
I
am
pacified
towards
thee
,
for
all
that
thou
hast
done
,
saith
the
Lord
;
See
also
Ezek.
43.10
,
11.
Oh
how
is
a
sensible
guilty
soul
ashamed
before
God
,
Angels
and
men
,
of
such
ways
and
carriages
,
in
which
he
impudently
before
delighted
himself
?
and
lies
down
in
his
shame
and
confusion
of
face
,
even
covering
his
face
before
God
,
and
ashamed
to
look
up
unto
him
.
3.
The
soul
walks
up
and
down
with
a
burthened
spirit
,
those
creature-comforts
,
delights
,
contentments
,
which
before
would
still
the
spirit
,
now
will
not
;
sense
of
guilt
eats
out
the
hearts
of
them
,
the
soul
must
now
have
something
else
than
wind
and
vanity
,
(
for
so
are
creatures
become
to
such
a
poor
soul
:
)
It
may
be
the
deceitful
heart
carries
a
poor
creature
to
this
thing
and
that
,
but
finds
no
satisfaction
there
,
the
burden
still
remains
,
the
arrow
that
God
hath
shot
sticks
fast
,
till
Jesus
Christ
pluck
it
forth
,
and
heals
all
with
his
Blood
and
Spirit
.
4.
Guilty
souls
make
out
for
deliverence
,
sue
to
Heaven
,
are
enquiring
how
the
law
may
be
satisfied
,
how
guilt
may
be
removed
,
how
attonement
may
be
had
,
how
bondage
taken
off
;
in
a
word
,
how
he
may
come
to
see
the
face
of
a
blessed
God
,
reconciled
in
Jesus
Christ
,
and
so
love
him
,
and
bless
him
to
eternity
.
Why
now
,
careless
sinner
,
Is'
t
not
better
be
thus
,
than
be
hardening
for
Hell
?
and
have
the
guilt
of
sin
as
nothing
to
thee
,
till
the
books
shall
be
opened
?
all
thy
sins
written
in
Letters
of
Blood
against
thee
,
Conscience
accused
,
charged
,
and
witnessing
against
thee
,
and
so
away
screeking
to
Hell
without
all
remedy
,
and
canst
not
be
heard
a
word
for
thy self
,
nor
any
one
,
Saint
,
or
Angel
for
thee
?
Now
thou
mayst
be
heard
,
if
thou
wilt
speedily
acknowledge
thy
guilt
,
not
cover
thy
transgression
nor
hide
thy
iniquity
in
thy
bosom
,
Job
31.33
.
but
come
with
fear
,
and
shame
,
burthen'd
with
thy
guilt
,
to
him
whose
arms
are
yet
open
to
receive
thee
,
and
is
ready
to
take
away
iniquity
off
thee
,
and
take
off
thy
burthens
,
put
his
hand
under
thy
soul
:
And
if
thou
wouldst
know
who
it
is
,
't
is
that
blessed
Jesus
who
loves
to
save
such
a
sinner
,
as
he
loves
his
life
;
therefore
away
to
him
.
But
the
heart
of
a
guilty
sinner
will
now
urge
;
Well
,
if
it
be
so
,
that
some
guilt
is
upon
me
,
yet
I
have
done
many
things
well
,
or
as
well
I
could
,
will
not
that
take
off
my
guilt
,
and
will
not
God
impute
the
good
to
me
,
and
pass
by
the
evil
?
Or
will
not
God
acept
of
the
will
for
the
deed
?
Or
if
I
set
my self
for
the
time
to
come
,
to
keep
the
law
as
well
as
I
can
,
will
not
that
make
God
amends
?
Alas
,
poor
soul
,
these
refuges
will
undo
thee
,
if
thou
get
not
out
of
them
;
No
,
No
;
Thy
good
shall
not
be
imputed
,
nor
thy
will
accepted
,
nor
thy
obedience
for
time
to
come
satisfie
;
I
mean
,
still
as
thou
art
under
the
law
,
As
well
as
thou
canst
,
will
not
be
heard
here
;
If
thou
indeed
gets
justified
in
Christ
,
and
rooted
in
him
,
and
so
from
a
new
principle
of
life
in
thy
soul
,
thou
bring
forth
new
and
holy
obedience
,
then
thy
will
is
accepted
,
and
thy
new
obedience
,
but
not
upon
this
account
,
as
to
justifie
thee
before
God
;
or
as
to
expiate
and
take
off
guilt
from
the
soul
.
This
therefore
is
the
next
thing
I
am
to
prove
to
thy
Conscience
,
if
God
will
,
Namely
,
Observ
.
4.
No
man
or
woman
under
Heaven
,
can
ever
arrive
at
such
a
keeping
of
the
law
,
as
to
be
accepted
with
God
,
for
and
by
such
a
keeping
of
it
.
I
would
press
this
as
plainly
as
I
may
,
for
till
this
conviction
be
thoroughly
and
practically
received
into
the
Conscience
,
a
soul
cannot
make
a
saving
close
with
Jesus
Christ
.
What
I
mean
by
these
deeds
of
the
Law
,
is
,
I
presume
,
understood
;
I
mean
,
The
professed
owning
the
true
God
,
and
frequenting
his
ordained
worship
and
ordinances
,
observing
the
Sabbath
,
making
good
prayers
,
doing
some
good
,
as
to
helping
thy
Neighbour
,
and
giving
of
Alms
,
making
conscience
of
wronging
or
defrauding
any
man
,
and
refraining
many
gross
sins
;
I
mention
these
things
,
because
most
men
that
go
thus
far
,
as
your
more
civil
sort
of
people
,
think
that
it
is
impossible
,
but
God
must
accept
them
in
and
for
all
this
;
that
't
is
for
great
sinners
to
be
damned
,
they
thank
God
they
are
not
so
;
by
the
way
,
soul
,
I
shall
not
doubt
to
prove
,
that
there
's
more
hope
of
the
vilest
drunkard
in
the
Country
,
than
of
such
a
one
;
and
that
this
thy
good
keeping
of
the
law
,
and
that
as
well
as
thou
canst
,
will
stand
thee
in
no
stead
at
all
;
and
God
looks
upon
thee
no
more
for
it
,
than
if
thou
wert
the
greatest
sinner
in
the
world
;
How
sayest
thou
soul
to
this
?
1.
From
clear
Scriptures
I
shall
demonstrate
it
,
and
Scriptural
reasons
,
and
examples
of
such
kind
of
persons
rejected
of
God
,
and
so
labour
to
drive
this
nail
home
upon
thy
conscience
.
What
need
we
go
further
than
the
words
of
my
Text
;
By
the
deeds
of
the
law
shall
no
flesh
be
justified
in
his
sight
?
The
Apostle
speaks
of
such
who
professed
to
own
and
make
conscience
of
keeping
the
law
,
as
well
as
they
could
,
such
as
were
within
(
as
you
call
it
)
the
pale
of
the
Church
,
and
frequented
the
worship
of
God
,
and
were
sober
people
:
See
Act.
13.39
;
—
From
which
(
meaning
their
sins
)
they
could
not
be
justified
by
the
Law
of
Moses
:
They
could
not
!
an
utter
impossibility
of
it
,
though
they
kept
the
law
of
God
as
well
as
they
were
able
,
and
hoped
for
pardon
thereby
,
yet
saith
Paul
(
which
exceedingly
troubled
them
)
they
could
not
be
justified
thereby
;
Rom.
9.31
.
But
Israel
which
followed
after
the
law
of
righteousness
,
hath
not
attained
to
the
law
of
righteousness
;
Though
they
followed
after
it
,
and
laboured
to
keep
the
Law
of
God
to
their
utmost
yet
they
fail'd
of
their
purpose
,
Gal.
3.10
,
11.
&c
,
For
as
many
as
are
of
the
works
of
the
Law
,
are
under
the
curse
,
that
is
,
such
as
insist
upon
works
of
the
Law
,
they
are
so
far
from
being
the
more
accepted
for
all
the
good
they
did
,
and
all
the
evil
they
refrained
,
that
they
were
under
the
curse
,
as
well
as
any
sinners
in
the
world
besides
.
Briefly
,
Paul
who
well
knew
the
experience
of
this
,
it
having
been
his
own
case
,
as
I
shall
shew
,
spends
two
Epistles
,
of
the
Romans
and
Galathians
,
to
convince
chiefly
what
I
am
now
upon
;
therefore
peruse
them
over
and
over
.
Now
the
Reasons
of
it
are
these
,
namely
,
why
any
sinners
keeping
of
the
Law
to
his
best
power
,
can
not
justifie
him
,
or
make
him
the
better
,
or
at
all
accepted
with
God
for
it
.
This
doctrine
goes
to
the
quick
,
and
I
know
naturally
you
do
not
love
it
,
and
't
is
irksom
,
and
disquieting
;
the
Lord
make
it
disquieting
and
unsettling
to
purpose
.
Reason
1.
The
best
keeping
of
the
Law
cannot
make
a
soul
more
accepted
with
God
,
(
while
under
the
Law
,
and
not
in
Christ
)
because
of
the
holiness
of
Gods
Justice
,
which
being
violated
by
sin
,
(
it
being
also
proved
that
all
do
sin
)
cannot
again
be
made
up
by
any
act
of
the
Creature
,
the
severity
of
his
justice
cannot
admit
of
it
,
therefore
if
the
Law
be
transgressed
,
the
sinner
must
dye
,
as
he
is
under
the
law
,
and
stands
to
the
law
,
or
God
is
not
righteous
,
which
to
assert
is
execrable
blasphemy
.
And
if
your
thoughts
should
prevent
me
,
with
a
general
notion
of
mercy
,
know
,
and
consider
it
well
,
that
the
law
shews
no
mercy
,
but
calls
for
justice
,
and
justice
it
shall
have
upon
every
transgressor
whosoever
,
if
he
stand
to
his
endeavour
to
keep
the
Law
;
The
soul
that
sinneth
,
it
shall
dye
.
From
whence
,
by
the
law
,
I
say
,
by
the
law
,
there
's
no
appeal
:
What
you
may
do
when
you
renounce
the
Law
,
for
righteousnes
,
and
fly
wholly
to
a
mercy-seat
,
is
another
case
.
This
is
the
first
reason
.
2.
The
best
keeping
of
the
Law
will
not
accepted
,
because
of
the
exactness
of
the
Law
;
it
requires
full
,
entire
,
perfect
fulfilling
and
obedience
,
or
all
stands
for
nothing
;
If
this
were
throughly
weighed
and
laid
to
heart
,
we
should
come
to
an
issue
in
the
point
.
Mark
that
Word
,
Gal.
3.12
.
Cursed
is
every
one
that
continueth
not
in
all
things
which
are
written
in
the
law
to
do
them
:
I
think
I
opened
this
place
lately
,
but
mark
it
well
;
the
Law
requires
of
every
one
,
and
therefore
of
thee
,
whoever
thou
art
,
a
continuance
(
without
intermission
)
of
doing
(
not
only
purposing
and
endeavouring
)
All
things
,
not
keeping
nine
,
and
breaking
one
Commandment
;
not
keeping
it
outwardly
,
and
breaking
it
in
thy
thoughts
of
sin
,
but
in
All
things
,
or
Cursed
,
without
remedy
,
by
the
law
,
the
Law
can
give
you
no
remedy
;
see
Rom.
10.5
.
For
Moses
describeth
the
righteousness
of
the
law
;
The
man
that
doth
these
things
shall
live
by
them
;
If
he
doth
all
things
of
the
Law
,
not
purposeth
them
only
,
but
doth
them
,
he
shall
live
by
them
,
but
not
otherwise
,
but
shall
dye
,
and
that
for
ever
,
by
the
law
:
Now
mark
you
,
The
same
Law
can't
at
once
justifie
and
condemn
,
bless
and
curse
,
quit
and
judge
,
save
and
condemn
,
if
it
therefore
condemn
in
the
least
,
it
cannot
quit
by
all
that
ever
a
soul
hath
done
,
or
may
do
,
towards
fufilling
it
.
I
instanced
before
,
if
a
man
that
lives
under
the
law
of
England
,
all
the
laws
of
it
,
and
he
be
found
a
transgressor
of
one
law
,
that
is
to
be
punished
with
death
;
it
will
not
be
a
good
plea
for
him
that
he
never
brake
any
other
law
that
deserves
death
:
No
,
saith
the
Judge
,
you
must
dye
for
this
;
so
as
I
have
shew'd
,
the
law
pronounceth
death
to
the
breach
of
any
one
Commandment
,
any
part
of
one
,
as
well
as
to
the
breach
of
the
whole
.
Therefore
he
that
pleads
,
as
the
Pharisee
did
,
(
and
was
never
the
more
accepted
,
)
that
he
is
no
murtherer
,
no
blasphemer
,
no
thief
,
no
adulterer
;
't
is
all
one
,
as
if
thou
hast
ever
had
an
unholy
thought
in
thy
heart
,
(
as
thou
hast
had
thousands
)
as
thou
art
under
the
Law
,
thou
art
condemned
;
if
this
indeed
had
been
the
tenour
of
the
law
,
as
it
was
a
Covenant
between
God
and
the
first
Adam
,
that
if
thou
and
thy
posterity
shall
endeavour
to
keep
the
law
as
well
as
you
can
,
though
you
sail
in
some
part
,
yet
you
shall
be
accepted
;
then
this
had
been
a
good
plea
before
God
,
that
you
have
so
endeavour'd
to
keep
it
;
but
't
is
not
so
,
the
Covenant
doth
not
run
so
,
but
,
as
hath
been
shewed
,
it
runs
thus
;
Here
's
a
holy
and
righteous
law
,
saith
God
,
the
matter
of
the
Covenant
between
us
,
if
you
break
it
in
any
one
least
part
of
it
,
and
but
once
,
you
are
condemn'd
,
and
all
your
other
righteousness
shall
not
be
imputed
to
you
.
This
hath
been
proved
from
several
Scriptures
;
and
I
think
't
is
the
hardest
thing
in
the
World
to
be
spiritually
and
practically
convinced
of
it
;
such
is
the
exactness
of
the
Law
,
that
it
admits
of
no
bartering
,
of
no
terms
whatsoever
;
it
still
crys
,
fulfill
me
to
the
utmost
,
or
dye
.
3.
The
third
Reason
,
which
strikes
off
all
hope
of
acceptance
with
God
,
by
keeping
the
Law
as
well
as
you
can
,
is
taken
from
the
sinfulness
of
those
very
duties
and
works
which
you
place
such
acceptance
in
;
There
is
a
sinfulness
in
every
such
duty
,
though
the
matter
of
the
duty
be
good
,
yet
the
manner
of
performing
it
by
any
natural
man
is
wholly
sinful
;
yea
,
there
's
a
mixture
of
sin
in
the
most
holy
performances
of
any
regenerate
soul
in
the
world
,
which
he
is
sensible
of
;
but
I
am
dealing
with
the
natural
man
,
as
to
his
opinion
of
his
good
keeping
the
law
;
I
say
there
's
nothing
but
sin
in
their
performances
,
the
principle
they
proceed
from
is
wholly
sinful
,
viz.
a
corrupted
,
polluted
heart
and
nature
:
Can
a
corrupt
tree
bring
forth
good
fruit
?
Mat.
7.18
.
Can
a
corrupt
fountain
send
forth
sweet
waters
?
James
3.11
.
No
more
can
a
corrupt
defiled
heart
bring
forth
any
duty
or
work
,
but
what
is
loathsome
to
God
,
full
of
all
impurity
:
This
a
natural
man
is
not
able
to
see
,
nor
consider
of
,
till
convinc'd
by
the
Holy
Ghost
,
and
therefore
't
is
that
he
rests
only
in
performing
the
matters
and
bulk
of
duties
to
God
and
his
Neighbour
;
but
with
what
heart
,
and
the
unholiness
of
it
,
he
weighs
not
.
Upon
this
account
it
is
,
that
the
Scriptures
speak
at
such
a
rate
of
natural
Men
,
that
they
are
an
abomination
to
the
Lord
,
Prov.
15.8
.
That
his
soul
hates
them
,
he
cannot
away
with
them
,
they
are
iniquity
,
they
are
a
trouble
to
him
,
Isa.
1.
And
that
he
casts
them
back
,
as
dung
upon
their
faces
,
Mal.
2.3
.
Therefore
if
there
be
more
than
sin
enough
,
in
that
best
keeping
of
the
Law
,
towards
God
or
Man
,
to
damn
a
soul
for
ever
;
Certainly
a
soul
shall
be
never
the
better
,
nor
at
all
accepted
for
such
a
keeping
of
it
.
That
which
in
it self
hath
sin
,
nothing
but
sin
in
the
manner
of
it
,
cannot
be
a
means
to
quit
a
soul
from
other
sin
,
by
which
he
hath
brought
guilt
upon
himself
,
let
this
be
well
considered
,
and
(
nothing
but
a
Christ
)
would
be
your
cry
to
purpose
indeed
.
4.
The
fourth
Reason
or
Convincement
of
this
truth
,
that
the
best
endeavour
to
keep
the
law
,
will
not
give
you
more
acceptance
with
God
,
nor
take
away
any
guilt
from
off
thy
soul
,
is
because
such
duties
,
and
keeping
the
Law
,
are
but
of
the
outward
man
,
which
is
far
from
reaching
the
Compass
of
the
law
:
The
law
is
spiritual
,
Rom.
7.14
.
that
is
,
it
reacheth
to
the
inwards
parts
,
to
the
motions
of
the
heart
,
as
hath
been
before
hinted
,
and
not
only
to
the
outward
man
;
therefore
our
blessed
Lord
,
seeing
the
Jews
insisting
so
much
that
they
were
outwardly
blameless
,
spends
a
large
discourse
Mat.
5.6
,
&
7.
to
beat
them
off
their
confidence
,
in
being
outwardly
righteous
,
and
proves
a
man
a
murderer
by
the
Law
,
for
one
wrathful
thought
in
his
heart
,
Mat.
5.21
,
22.
Upon
this
conviction
you
have
him
,
as
oft
as
he
spake
to
the
Jews
,
(
that
we
may
see
the
weight
of
this
Doctrine
:
)
See
Luke
16.19
,
15.
And
the
Pharisees
also
,
who
were
covetuous
,
heard
all
these
things
,
and
they
derided
him
,
And
he
said
unto
them
,
ye
are
they
which
justifie
your selves
before
men
,
but
God
knoweth
your
hearts
,
for
that
which
is
highly
esteemed
amongst
men
is
an
abomination
in
the
sight
of
God
;
Jesus
Christ
was
convincing
the
wickedness
of
a
covetous
heart
,
the
Jews
,
who
were
carnal
and
formal
,
made
a
slight
matter
of
this
,
seeing
they
were
outwardly
blameless
,
and
wronged
no
body
;
Ay
,
but
,
saith
Christ
,
God
knoweth
your
hearts
,
and
his
eye
is
most
upon
them
,
and
though
you
are
outwardly
righteous
before
men
,
and
this
is
a
matter
highly
esteemed
of
among
men
,
that
you
are
righteous
and
blameless
,
yet
't
is
an
abomination
to
God
;
see
how
severe
the
Lord
is
in
pressing
of
this
,
(
it
being
the
great
let
of
his
Ministery
,
and
of
the
Jews
stumbling
at
the
Gospel
,
as
it
is
with
us
)
Mat.
23.
his
last
Sermon
I
conceive
he
preacht
to
them
,
verse
25.
Woe
unto
you
Scribes
and
Pharisees
,
Hypocrites
,
for
ye
make
clean
the
outside
of
the
cup
and
platter
,
but
within
they
are
full
of
extortion
and
excess
;
so
with
the
same
woe
pronounced
verse
27.
Ye
are
like
unto
whited
sepulchers
,
which
indeed
appear
beautiful
outward
,
but
are
within
full
of
dead
mens
bones
,
and
of
all
uncleanness
;
verse
28.
Even
so
also
ye
outwardly
appear
righteous
unto
men
,
but
within
ye
are
full
of
Hypocrisie
,
and
iniquity
:
Mark
the
Lords
words
,
within
ye
are
thus
,
and
thus
,
as
if
the
Lord
should
say
,
God
regards
not
what
you
are
outwardly
,
and
your
observing
the
law
with
the
outward
man
;
seeing
you
have
abundance
of
all
iniquity
within
,
which
every
unregenerate
soul
in
the
world
hath
;
so
you
may
see
that
an
outward
keeping
of
the
law
,
stands
for
nothing
in
the
account
of
God
,
whatever
it
do
with
men
and
your selves
which
you
hear
Jesus
Christ
gives
forth
,
as
the
mark
of
an
Hypocrite
.
Now
you
have
heard
,
the
law
requires
inward
as
well
as
outward
perfection
,
perfect
holiness
within
,
as
well
as
righteousness
in
the
outward
man
;
I
verily
believe
,
want
of
this
conviction
upon
the
soul
,
sends
more
souls
to
Hell
than
any
other
thing
in
the
world
besides
;
how
confident
are
poor
Creatures
if
they
are
a
little
consciencious
in
dealing
,
and
sober
,
and
blameless
to
men

this
you
may
be
,
and
be
no
better
than
Devils
(
as
in
your selves
)
in
Gods
account
,
and
thy
best
Character
from
Jesus
Christ
,
Mat.
23.26
.
is
,
a
Blind
Pharisee
.
Every
place
,
I
fear
,
abounds
with
them
,
therefore
this
inveterate
cursed
plea
of
being
outwardly
blameless
in
keeping
the
Law
,
will
not
in
the
least
render
you
more
accepted
with
God
,
but
't
is
at
the
best
but
painted
Hypocrisie
:
And
yet
,
wretched
souls
that
you
are
,
none
so
well
perswaded
of
themselves
as
these
.
This
is
the
fourth
Reason
.
5.
All
the
best
keeping
of
the
Law
,
doth
not
,
cannot
,
make
satisfaction
to
God
for
one
sin
of
thy
soul
,
therefore
't
is
worth
nothing
;
Gods
Justice
is
wronged
,
and
if
the
sinner
be
remitted
,
God
must
be
satisfied
by
the
sinner
himself
,
or
by
another
;
Now
all
the
obedience
of
a
sinner
cannot
make
satisfaction
to
God
in
the
least
;
if
he
had
the
whole
world
to
offer
up
to
God
,
it
could
not
satisfie
him
for
the
wrong
of
one
Sin
;
See
that
known
place
,
Micah
6.6
,
7.
Wherewith
shall
I
come
before
the
Lord
,
and
bow
my self
before
the
high
God
?
shall
I
come
before
him
with
burnt
offerings
,
with
Calves
of
a
year
old
?
will
the
Lord
be
pleased
with
thousands
of
Rams
,
or
with
ten
thousands
of
Rivers
of
Oyl
?
shall
I
give
my
first
born
for
my
transgression
,
the
fruit
of
my
body
for
the
sin
of
my
soul
?
Implying
that
there
is
nothing
that
a
poor
sinner
of
himself
can
offer
up
to
God
,
to
make
atonement
of
satisfaction
to
God
,
for
the
least
sin
of
his
soul
;
should
he
offer
up
thousands
of
prayers
,
rivers
of
tears
,
whole
ages
spent
in
services
to
God
,
take
up
to
a
severe
new
obedience
,
if
you
should
so
take
to
a
new
course
as
never
to
sin
more
all
your
days
,
it
would
not
make
God
satisfaction
or
atonement
for
one
evil
thought
of
thy
soul
:
Now
observe
this
,
(
for
if
thou
art
not
rightly
convinced
of
this
thing
,
thou
art
lost
for
ever
)
'T
is
naturally
upon
every
man
and
womans
heart
,
that
hath
sinned
,
to
imagine
that
when
they
have
sinned
,
they
can
put
off
God
,
as
to
his
displeasure
,
with
something
or
other
,
they
will
reckon
what
good
they
have
done
,
gone
to
Church
,
(
as
you
style
it
)
given
Alms
,
been
just
to
Men
,
or
some
such
thing
;
and
the
poor
blind
Creature
imagines
and
pleaseth
himself
in
it
,
that
this
good
thus
done
will
well
enough
pacifie
God
for
his
sins
,
or
at
least
he
will
go
over
some
prayers
,
and
be
strict
for
a
little
while
,
and
then
they
doubt
not
but
God
(
because
also
he
presently
smites
not
with
judgment
)
is
well
enough
appayed
,
and
he
need
no
more
trouble
himself
.
Is
not
this
the
very
way
of
your
hearts
,
hath
not
the
word
found
you
out
?
Object
.
But
you
will
say
;
why
cannot
these
duties
and
this
obedience
satisfie
and
pacifie
God
well
enough
for
sin
?
Answ.
1.
Because
there
is
sin
mixt
in
them
,
they
come
from
a
prophane
heart
,
as
is
shew'd
in
the
last
reason
,
(
thou
thou
ignorantly
,
because
thou
knowest
not
thy
heart
,
call'st
it
a
good
heart
:
)
Now
that
which
is
in
it self
sinful
,
cannot
sure
satisfie
for
sin
.
2.
Because
of
the
infiniteness
of
God's
justice
,
as
well
as
purity
of
it
;
a
finite
creature
cannot
offer
up
a
proportionable
attonement
to
an
infinite
God
.
Suppose
a
poor
man
were
under
the
guilt
of
treason
,
and
condemn'd
to
dye
,
and
he
should
go
and
offer
up
a
little
course
broken
bread
to
the
Prince
,
would
any
one
think
that
this
would
satisfie
the
Prince
for
his
treason
?
So
,
poor
deceived
creature
,
thou
art
guilty
of
treason
and
rebellion
against
the
great
and
most
high
God
,
and
thou
comest
and
offerest
up
to
him
thy
poor
polluted
broked
obedience
and
duties
,
and
thinkest
he
will
be
satisfied
with
this
;
whereas
God
may
in
the
same
moment
justly
send
thee
to
Hell
for
the
iniquity
of
them
.
A
poor
sinful
soul
thinks
,
that
because
such
doings
and
services
do
satisfie
himself
,
his
own
conscience
,
therefore
he
thinks
they
will
satisfie
God
also
;
because
they
quiet
him
upon
any
trouble
for
guilt
,
he
thinks
they
will
also
quiet
God
,
and
take
off
his
anger
and
justice
from
punishing
him
:
Poor
Creature
,
this
thy
way
is
thy
folly
,
and
the
ready
way
to
come
under
the
severe
justice
of
the
Almighty
,
who
will
not
thus
be
dealt
with
,
nor
be
thus
bribed
with
thy
cursed
sacrifices
;
this
is
a
further
convincement
of
the
point
;
all
the
creature
can
do
,
cannot
pacifie
God
for
one
sin
,
and
therefore
all
his
best
keeping
of
the
law
cannot
justifie
a
poor
sinner
before
God
,
nor
give
him
acceptance
in
the
least
with
him
;
till
he
sees
pacification
another
way
,
and
takes
up
obedience
from
another
principle
,
and
to
another
end
,
as
we
are
to
shew
.
6.
All
a
mans
endeavour
in
setting
himself
to
keep
the
law
to
the
utmost
,
cannot
give
him
acceptance
with
God
,
because
it
cannot
give
life
to
the
soul
;
Gal.
3.21
.
For
if
there
had
been
a
law
,
which
would
have
given
life
,
verily
righteousness
had
come
by
the
law
:
Man
hath
procured
death
and
weakness
upon
his
soul
,
and
the
law
cannot
give
life
,
nor
strength
to
obey
it
.
All
that
righteousness
which
leaves
the
soul
dead
,
comes
to
nothing
;
while
a
soul
is
under
the
law
,
and
upon
the
fulfilling
of
it
,
(
as
he
hopes
in
a
good
measure
)
still
the
soul
is
as
dead
as
sin
left
it
,
and
void
of
the
life
of
God
:
True
,
a
poor
soul
thinks
himself
alive
by
his
legal
performances
,
as
Paul
thought
,
Rom.
7.9
.
but
he
is
dead
in
sin
,
and
under
the
sentence
of
death
by
the
Law
,
and
all
the
performances
towards
the
keeping
of
it
,
can
never
give
a
drop
of
life
to
such
a
poor
soul
:
They
are
dead
works
,
and
there
's
no
life
in
them
,
or
from
them
,
therefore
they
stand
no
soul
instead
,
while
under
the
law
,
as
under
it
he
is
,
whiles
he
goes
upon
this
account
.
7.
The
main
reason
of
all
,
which
is
now
but
to
be
touched
,
is
this
:
If
a
soul
endeavouring
to
keep
the
law
of
God
as
well
as
he
can
,
may
be
accepted
of
God
thereby
,
what
need
Jesus
Christ
to
have
dyed
:
'T
is
Pauls
great
argument
,
Rom.
8.3
,
4.
For
what
the
Law
could
not
do
,
in
that
it
was
weak
through
the
flesh
,
God
sending
his
own
son
,
in
the
likeness
of
sinful
flesh
,
condemned
sin
in
the
flesh
,
that
the
righteousness
of
the
law
might
be
fulfilled
in
us
,
&c.
Mark
ye
,
what
the
law
could
not
do
,
that
it
could
not
give
us
a
righteousness
whereby
God
might
accept
us
,
therefore
God
sent
his
Son
in
the
flesh
,
and
condemned
sin
upon
him
,
which
otherwise
had
been
condemned
upon
the
sinner
himself
:
Another
place
to
this
purpose
is
,
Gal.
2.
last
.
I
do
not
frustrate
the
grace
of
God
;
for
if
righteousness
come
by
the
law
,
then
Christ
is
dead
in
vain
.
If
there
were
a
possibility
of
a
Creatures
attaining
to
such
a
degree
of
keeping
the
law
as
well
as
he
can
,
that
might
render
him
accepted
with
God
,
and
procure
pardon
wherein
he
failed
,
then
the
dying
of
Jesus
Christ
was
in
vain
,
to
no
purpose
at
all
.
Take
heed
you
that
are
outwardly
righteous
,
that
you
do
not
frustrate
the
grace
of
God
,
and
the
death
of
Jesus
Christ
for
ever
,
to
your
own
souls
,
by
thinking
you
endeavour
to
keep
Gods
law
as
well
as
you
can
,
and
make
some
conscience
of
it
,
and
there
fix
your
hope
wholly
or
in
part
,
and
so
be
undone
for
ever
.
Another
place
in
the
same
Epistle
,
Gal.
4.4
,
5.
speaks
out
the
same
truth
.
But
when
the
fulness
of
time
was
come
,
God
sent
forth
his
son
made
of
a
woman
,
made
under
the
law
;
to
redeem
them
that
were
under
the
law
;
that
we
might
receive
the
Adoption
of
Sons
.
What
need
Jesus
Christ
to
have
dyed
,
to
redeem
the
elect
from
under
the
law
,
if
they
had
been
able
to
reach
forth
to
such
a
keeping
of
it
,
that
God
might
be
well
pleased
with
,
and
with
them
in
it
?
Now
Jesus
Christ's
being
made
under
the
Law
,
implies
these
things
,
which
I
now
but
hint
forth
.
1.
His
being
under
the
punishment
of
the
Law
,
which
was
due
to
such
as
were
under
it
;
what
ever
the
Law
pronounced
to
the
Transgressors
of
it
,
Jesus
Christ
in
effect
did
undergo
it
,
See
Gal.
3.
Christ
hath
redeemed
us
from
the
Curse
of
the
law
,
being
made
a
curse
for
us
:
If
good
prayers
,
making
a
conscience
in
dealing
,
outward
sobriety
,
harming
no
body
,
giving
of
Alms
to
poor
people
,
could
have
taken
away
the
curse
,
did
the
wise
and
blessed
God
do
well
in
giving
out
his
Son
to
be
made
a
curse
?
were
prayers
,
righteousness
,
good
deeds
made
a
Curse
?
They
will
be
indeed
,
in
another
sense
,
if
thou
thinkest
to
be
accepted
by
them
.
2.
Jesus
Christ
being
made
under
the
Law
,
was
to
satisfie
Gods
offended
justice
for
the
breach
of
the
Law
,
for
such
as
shall
be
saved
,
to
make
attonement
for
God
,
Rom.
5.11
.
If
now
all
that
thou
hast
done
,
or
shalt
ever
do
,
could
make
the
least
satisfaction
or
attonement
to
God
,
in
thy
good
keeping
the
Commandments
as
well
as
thou
canst
,
(
as
hath
been
shew'd
)
God
might
have
kept
his
Son
in
Heaven
,
and
not
sent
him
to
make
attonement
for
any
sinners
.
3.
To
reconcile
sinners
unto
God
,
Rom.
5.10
.
When
we
were
enemies
,
we
were
reconciled
to
God
by
the
death
of
his
Son
,
&c.
If
reconciliation
to
God
can
be
had
no
other
way
,
but
by
the
death
of
Jesus
Christ
,
will
thy
good
endeavours
for
the
time
to
come
to
keep
the
Law
of
God
as
well
as
thou
canst
,
and
take
up
from
a
loose
course
,
will
those
,
I
say
,
reconcile
thee
to
God
?
See
,
poor
creature
,
how
little
need
thou
thinkest
thou
hast
of
Jesus
Christ
,
and
what
a
meer
notion
a
Saviour
is
to
thee
,
when
it
comes
to
the
Tryal
!
4.
Jesus
Christ
died
to
work
out
Righteousness
for
all
that
shall
be
saved
:
Now
if
thou
could'st
come
up
to
such
a
degree
of
being
righteous
,
by
thy
fair
and
good
carriage
,
as
thou
thinkest
,
to
God
and
Man
,
this
righteousness
of
Jesus
Christ
was
to
little
purpose
,
Rom.
10.4
.
Christ
is
the
end
of
the
Law
for
Righteousness
,
to
every
one
that
believeth
.
Now
see
,
mistaken
Soul
,
how
they
hope
to
please
God
well
enough
,
and
make
him
amends
for
thy
sin
,
by
thy
good
endeavours
to
serve
him
in
his
Law
,
as
well
as
thou
may'st
,
makes
void
the
whole
design
of
God
,
in
the
glorious
gift
of
his
eternal
Son
,
(
as
much
as
in
thee
lyeth
)
and
robs
him
of
the
Glory
of
his
Grace
;
and
makes
thy
Salvation
(
if
it
might
be
had
in
such
a
way
)
not
of
Grace
,
but
of
Debt
,
Rom.
4.4
.
Now
to
him
that
worketh
is
the
reward
,
not
reckoned
of
debt
but
of
grace
;
and
thus
thou
in
effect
becomest
thy
own
Saviour
.
Yet
bear
with
me
a
little
further
,
(
because
a
sinner
can
never
be
too
thoroughly
convinced
of
this
matter
)
let
me
shew
you
some
examples
in
the
Scriptures
,
of
such
that
thought
as
you
do
,
and
as
all
men
naturally
do
,
that
they
by
their
honest
and
conscionable
endeavour
to
worship
God
,
and
harm
no
body
,
they
should
be
saved
;
and
yet
were
found
light
in
the
ballance
.
The
first
is
that
Pharisee
,
Luke
18.11
.
He
thanks
God
,
he
was
not
as
other
men
are
,
Extortioners
,
Vnjust
,
Adulterers
,
&c.
Here
was
hope
for
his
acceptance
with
God
,
He
was
not
so
bad
as
others
,
as
many
riotous
prophane
persons
were
,
not
unjust
in
his
dealings
,
no
Adulterer
,
and
should
any
one
question
his
Salvation
and
going
to
Heaven
?
Enough
for
great
sinners
to
miss
of
Heaven
,
and
not
such
as
he
was
,
reputed
a
good
and
honest
man
in
his
Country
,
and
amongst
his
Neighbours
well
thought
of
by
most
.
And
yet
for
all
this
confidence
and
security
,
a
great
sinner
was
accepted
before
him
,
and
he
not
justified
in
the
sight
of
the
God
,
though
he
was
in
his
own
sight
,
and
the
sight
of
others
.
See
another
,
Mat.
19.20
.
(
which
place
hath
been
at
large
opened
to
you
)
There
came
a
young
man
,
a
man
of
parts
,
with
the
same
confidence
to
reason
with
Jesus
Christ
about
his
condition
,
the
man
conceived
he
wanted
nothing
that
a
man
should
have
or
do
for
Heaven
;
All
these
things
,
said
he
,
I
have
kept
from
my
youth
up
;
meaning
especially
the
second
Table
of
the
Law
,
which
Christ
gave
out
,
not
as
thereby
to
put
him
upon
the
Law
,
but
to
find
him
out
,
and
discover
him
under
the
Law
.
When
Jesus
Christ
searched
the
mans
heart
,
and
finds
him
under
the
power
of
the
love
of
the
world
,
as
a
reigning
Soul
damning
Sin
,
(
for
all
his
outward
blamelesness
)
and
so
to
discover
his
heart
to
himself
,
puts
him
upon
tryal
of
Self-denial
;
away
the
man
packs
as
mute
as
a
fish
,
and
would
hear
no
more
,
(
as
worldlings
now
)
of
such
Doctrine
;
unless
he
could
be
a
Disciple
,
and
part
with
nothing
,
lose
or
venture
nothing
,
he
would
rest
as
he
was
,
and
hope
his
being
an
honest
sober
man
,
and
well
thought
of
,
would
bring
him
to
Heaven
;
and
so
,
for
ought
appears
,
cheated
his
Soul
to
Hell
.
The
case
of
Paul
hath
been
often
shew'd
you
;
he
was
,
as
many
of
you
think
your selves
,
blameless
,
Phil.
3.6
.
lived
in
no
known
sin
outwardly
against
the
Law
,
frequented
the
publick
Worship
,
made
Conscience
of
his
dealings
,
was
zealous
of
the
traditions
and
customs
of
his
Fathers
,
and
yet
do
you
not
hear
him
crying
out
of
it
all
as
loss
,
ver.
7.
and
8.
He
thought
it
was
his
gain
before
,
that
it
would
have
gained
him
Heaven
,
but
now
t
is
all
loss
,
his
keeping
the
Church
,
his
outward
blamelesness
stands
him
not
in
the
least
stead
,
but
cryes
out
,
't
is
All
,
all
loss
for
Jesus
Christ
;
the
same
Paul
that
before
boasted
,
and
thought
very
well
of
himself
,
and
was
in
much
peace
,
and
persecuted
all
beyond
his
formal
Profession
,
now
cryes
out
,
away
with
this
figleaf-righteousness
of
mine
own
,
't
is
as
dung
,
I
tread
it
under
my
feet
for
Jesus
Christ
;
he
that
thought
himself
so
blameless
before
,
now
cryes
out
,
I
am
the
Chief
of
sinners
,
1
Tim.
1.15
.
And
I
am
carnal
,
sold
under
sin
,
Wretched
man
that
I
am
,
who
shall
deliver
me
from
the
body
of
this
death
?
A
marvellous
Change
indeed
,
and
such
that
is
made
upon
every
Soul
,
that
is
really
brought
off
from
the
righteousness
of
the
Law
to
that
which
is
of
Jesus
Christ
.
Now
to
bring
what
hath
been
spoken
to
this
point
to
a
more
particular
Application
.
Vse
1.
If
it
be
so
,
that
the
best
endeavour
of
any
mortal
creature
to
keep
the
Law
of
God
as
well
as
they
can
,
will
not
give
them
acceptance
with
God
;
then
you
that
have
so
imagined
,
and
thereby
spoken
peace
to
your selves
,
namely
,
that
you
hope
if
you
keep
the
Church
(
as
you
use
to
speak
)
and
harm
no
body
,
and
do
any
body
any
good
you
can
,
live
not
in
gross
sins
,
be
well
thought
of
by
your
neighbours
,
you
shall
do
well
enough
for
Heaven
,
and
you
must
hope
well
.
Ah
poor
creature
,
thou
errest
,
not
knowing
the
way
of
the
Lord
,
nor
of
thy
own
heart
;
how
art
thou
befooling
thy self
,
and
deceiving
thy
own
soul
.
No
sinner
in
so
ready
a
way
to
Hell
as
thou
,
if
thou
continue
thus
,
and
let
not
go
thy
hold
,
and
get
a
new
bottom
for
thy
naked
Soul
,
which
I
am
to
shew
thee
.
Consider
,
man
or
woman
,
young
or
old
,
whoever
thou
art
,
thou
hast
been
proved
guilty
of
the
breach
of
the
whole
Law
of
God
,
thou
hast
been
shewed
of
the
exactness
of
the
Justice
of
God
,
and
the
spirituality
of
the
Law
,
how
it
reacheth
the
inmost
motions
of
the
heart
,
thou
hast
been
shewed
the
Tenour
of
it
,
as
it
was
given
forth
as
a
Covenant
;
that
the
Law
will
not
admit
of
the
least
breach
,
though
but
in
thought
,
but
it
condemns
as
if
the
whole
Law
were
transgressed
,
even
every
soul
that
is
under
it
;
here
is
the
rigor
of
it
;
and
thou
hast
been
shewed
that
the
Law
admits
not
of
endeavours
,
nor
of
the
Will
for
the
Deed
,
(
if
thou
wert
once
in
Christ
indeed
,
it
would
be
so
,
but
not
as
now
thou
art
)
thou
hast
been
shew'd
that
there
's
sin
enough
in
every
one
of
thy
best
performances
to
damn
thee
for
ever
;
that
thy
Righteousness
reacheth
but
the
outward
Man
;
within
(
didst
thou
see
it
)
thou
art
full
of
iniquity
,
that
whatever
thou
hast
done
,
cannot
make
God
the
least
satisfaction
(
as
thou
flatterest
thy self
)
for
the
least
sin
:
All
thy
obedience
and
duties
cannot
give
life
to
thy
soul
,
but
still
leave
thee
as
a
dead
tree
,
dead
in
thy
sin
,
that
by
this
vain
confidence
thou
dost
utterly
make
void
the
death
of
Jesus
Christ
,
as
to
any
vertue
or
effect
to
thy
own
Soul
;
here
is
thy
very
case
plainly
set
forth
,
a
thousand
thousand
sins
to
damn
thee
,
and
that
righteousness
,
obedience
,
good
,
thou
hopest
thou
hast
done
towards
God
and
Man
,
not
in
the
least
able
to
rescue
thee
,
cover
thee
,
deliver
thee
from
the
guilt
of
one
of
the
least
of
these
sins
;
nor
save
thee
from
wrath
to
come
,
but
leave
thy
soul
as
sinful
,
guilty
,
naked
,
wretched
,
condemned
,
as
if
thou
hadst
been
nothing
else
but
sinning
all
thy
days
:
Oh
wretched
condition
,
that
the
Devil
and
thy
own
heart
have
flattered
thee
in
!
Oh
,
let
this
serve
to
convince
,
unbottom
legal
Professors
,
who
have
spoken
peace
to
themselves
in
being
as
good
as
they
can
,
and
obeying
the
Law
as
well
as
they
can
,
and
so
hope
God
pardons
where
they
fail
:
Oh
,
you
are
ignorant
of
the
righteousness
of
God
,
Rom.
10.3
.
Either
what
righteousness
God
requires
in
the
Law
,
as
to
be
justified
by
it
;
or
what
is
the
Righteousness
of
the
Gospel
,
which
is
of
Jesus
Christ
by
Faith
.
Oh
you
,
who
like
that
young
man
,
have
been
righteous
from
your
youth
up
,
brought
up
religiously
,
look
to
this
,
whether
you
make
not
this
your
confidence
,
but
(
though
under
some
kind
of
sorrowings
for
sin
,
and
walking
exactly
)
yet
never
emptied
of
your selves
,
and
renouncing
your selves
,
and
all
that
was
of
you
,
and
come
poor
and
nothing
to
Jesus
Christ
,
to
be
found
in
him
;
who
have
not
trembled
as
much
at
being
found
in
your
own
righteousness
,
which
is
of
the
Law
,
as
at
living
in
the
greatest
sin
whatsoever
.
You
who
have
taken
up
from
grosser
sins
of
your
life
,
your
youth
,
and
now
think
you
are
safe
,
and
bottom
your
hope
upon
your
new
outward
obedience
,
but
have
not
the
experience
of
your
closing
with
Jesus
Christ
for
righteousness
,
in
which
alone
you
could
stand
before
God
,
nor
rooted
into
Jesus
Christ
in
the
carrying
on
of
your
new
obedience
,
(
which
I
am
also
further
to
open
:
)
Alas
,
poor
soul
,
thou
art
yet
to
seek
for
a
bottom
,
for
thy
peace
,
and
for
Heaven
,
as
much
as
the
greatest
sinner
in
the
world
,
and
if
you
go
no
further
,
you
will
certainly
perish
for
ever
.
I
beseech
you
,
Souls
,
Admit
of
this
Conviction
into
your
Consciences
;
saith
the
first
Covenant
of
the
law
,
A
whole
law
kept
,
or
nothing
;
saith
the
Gospel-Covenant
,
which
you
are
now
to
look
after
,
A
whole
Christ
closed
with
,
or
nothing
.
Mind
it
most
seriously
,
you
that
stand
upon
your
terms
,
and
will
not
endure
any
thing
that
may
shake
you
,
and
disturb
your
peace
;
there
's
more
danger
of
your
righteousness
than
your
sin
;
your
sin
,
it
may
be
,
you
would
leave
,
because
it
may
damn
you
,
if
continued
in
,
but
your
righteousness
,
your
confidence
in
it
,
you
would
not
leave
,
because
you
hope
that
shall
save
you
,
and
pacifie
God
for
you
;
and
this
will
be
your
ruine
,
if
you
stick
here
.
But
first
to
strike
of
some
Objections
,
that
the
heart
of
such
a
legal
professor
doth
put
forth
.
Object
.
1.
But
you
will
object
,
Why
do
I
speak
thus
?
would
I
beat
people
off
a
good
coversation
?
Is
not
a
blameless
conversation
,
and
honest
walking
,
a
good
sign
,
and
ground
for
ones
hope
for
Heaven
?
Answ.
I
answer
,
not
such
a
Conversation
as
you
mean
;
the
formal
Jews
,
which
Christ
preacht
to
,
were
outwardly
righteous
,
and
yet
't
was
not
a
safe
ground
of
Hope
unto
them
,
as
you
have
been
shew'd
;
a
good
conversation
that
witnesseth
a
hope
for
Heaven
,
must
be
,
first
,
of
a
soul
that
doth
utterly
renounce
it
,
as
to
commend
him
to
God
,
that
when
he
looks
up
to
God
for
his
acceptance
,
his
justification
,
he
looks
upon
himself
as
nothing
else
but
a
sinner
in
that
respect
,
which
,
poor
soul
,
thou
doest
not
.
(
2.
)
A
good
conversation
,
that
witnesseth
a
hope
of
Heaven
,
is
also
a
holy
conversation
,
1
Pet.
1.15
.
To
be
inwardly
holy
as
well
as
outwardly
righteous
.
Now
thy
care
lyeth
mostly
about
thy
outward
blamelesness
,
and
not
thy
inward
holiness
,
therefore
thy
conversation
,
which
thou
callest
good
,
is
not
a
ground
of
hope
to
thee
.
(
3.
)
Or
if
thou
dost
pretend
to
a
little
outward
holiness
,
and
thinkest
thou
hast
a
good
heart
,
yet
thou
doest
not
walk
in
Christ
,
because
thou
hast
not
,
as
a
poor
self-emptied
sinner
,
received
him
,
Col.
2.6
.
Now
thou
must
first
be
rooted
in
Christ
,
verse
7.
before
thou
canst
walk
in
Christ
,
that
is
,
fetch
all
thy
life
and
power
for
any
spiritual
duty
,
or
thy
walking
before
God
,
from
Jesus
Christ
,
by
vertue
of
union
with
him
,
John
15.5
.
the
experience
of
which
thou
art
ignorant
of
;
(
4.
)
'T
is
to
walk
in
the
spirit
,
Gal.
5.16
.
And
thou
hast
not
the
spirit
of
God
dwelling
in
thee
,
quickening
,
renewing
,
mortifying
,
&c.
which
every
gracious
pardoned
soul
hath
.
In
a
word
,
a
good
conversation
is
a
Gospel-conversation
,
grounded
upon
Gospel-principles
,
and
for
Gospel-ends
;
now
thou
goest
no
further
,
but
lookest
upon
the
law
,
as
to
be
obeyed
as
well
as
thou
canst
,
and
in
thy
own
endeavours
,
and
thy
own
strength
,
from
some
conviction
of
the
law
,
thou
set'st
about
it
,
and
so
hopest
God
and
Christ
will
save
thee
;
Is
it
not
so
with
thee
?
Object.
2.
But
would
you
then
have
me
do
nothing
,
leave
off
to
do
well
?
If
you
say
,
my
good
keeping
of
the
law
as
well
as
I
can
,
doth
neither
justifie
me
before
God
,
nor
is
so
much
as
an
evidence
of
God's
accepting
me
,
to
what
purpose
then
is
it
?
how
ought
I
then
do
it
?
or
may
I
not
leave
it
off
?
Answ.
I
answer
,
Truly
,
soul
,
I
must
needs
deal
plainly
with
thee
,
't
is
to
no
purpose
as
yet
,
if
this
be
thy
condition
,
that
thou
hast
done
any
thing
,
as
to
the
saving
of
thy
own
soul
;
and
yet
thou
must
not
leave
off
,
as
if
thou
mightest
live
as
thou
list
:
No
,
Thou
must
begin
anew
,
(
as
thou
wilt
be
further
more
at
large
directed
;
)
first
,
see
all
thy
former
doings
,
either
towards
God
or
Man
,
to
be
loss
,
because
thou
hast
done
them
by
meer
natural
or
legal
principles
,
and
wrong
ends
,
and
so
it
stands
for
nothing
;
and
then
fall
down
before
Jesus
Christ
,
Oh
't
is
thy
righteousness
now
,
Lord
,
I
come
for
;
't
is
thy
spirit
,
I
must
have
to
quicken
and
strengthen
me
in
the
way
of
my
obedience
;
and
so
pray
and
hear
,
upon
other
grounds
,
to
be
taught
of
God
,
to
receive
the
Spirit
,
to
have
communion
with
God
,
but
not
thereby
in
the
least
to
be
accepted
.
But
this
I
shall
open
further
,
when
I
shew
why
and
how
a
Soul
must
obey
God
,
though
he
be
not
thereby
justified
.
So
this
Objection
is
removed
.
Object.
3.
But
,
you
will
say
,
I
hope
I
do
not
rest
upon
my
own
doings
,
no
more
than
others
,
I
think
no
body
doth
so
,
will
you
shew
me
whether
the
heart
is
apt
to
do
so
?
Answ.
I
will
,
and
shall
discover
to
you
,
that
the
heart
of
man
is
most
naturally
apt
to
rest
upon
an
outward
keeping
of
the
law
,
and
to
build
a
hope
and
confidence
for
Heaven
upon
it
;
this
I
must
a
little
insist
on
,
as
much
conducing
to
help
on
the
conviction
I
am
pressing
,
if
the
Lord
by
his
power
strike
in
with
it
.
If
it
were
not
natural
,
(
nothing
more
)
for
a
soul
to
bottom
upon
its
keeping
the
Law
,
though
fallen
and
unable
to
it
;
the
Apostle
would
never
have
spent
time
in
the
Conviction
of
it
,
which
he
so
industriously
doth
in
this
and
the
former
Chap.
It
hath
been
the
great
evil
upon
the
hearts
of
the
Sons
of
Men
,
in
all
ages
of
the
Church
:
One
of
the
first
Sons
of
Adam
was
under
it
;
Cain
,
when
he
rested
upon
the
bare
sacrifice
:
'T
is
that
the
Prophets
of
God
are
reproving
,
convincing
the
Church
of
the
Jews
of
,
more
than
of
any
one
thing
whatsoever
;
See
Isa.
1.
throughout
;
Isa.
66.
Jer.
7.
Ezek.
33.31
.
The
Prophecy
of
Hosea
,
in
the
main
bent
of
it
,
is
to
convince
the
formality
of
the
Jews
,
and
their
false
confidence
in
resting
in
their
heartless
doings
and
performances
.
In
this
case
Jesus
Christ
finds
the
Jewish
Church
in
,
at
his
first
coming
,
in
resting
in
some
heartless
performances
in
God's
worship
,
and
outward
righteousness
towards
men
,
which
he
sharply
rebuketh
,
and
convinceth
them
of
the
vanity
of
it

Chapters
of
Matthew
,
with
which
you
may
compare
the
other
Evangelists
,
and
see
how
much
ado
the
Lord
Jesus
had
to
beat
them
off
from
this
confidence
,
and
how
few
of
them
were
beaten
off
it
:
And
Paul
witnesseth
,
that
upon
this
very
ground
they
were
rejected
of
Jesus
Christ
,
Rom.
9.32
.
Not
upon
the
account
of
gross
outward
sin
,
but
for
their
being
conceited
of
their
good
condition
for
Heaven
,
because
of
their
frequenting
publick
worship
,
and
being
blameless
in
the
sight
of
men
;
yea
,
from
this
natural
principle
(
joyned
with
the
delusion
of
the
Tempter
)
did
the
Church
of
God
degenerate
into
the
Synagogue
of
Satan
,
as
Antichrist
rose
in
the
world
,
first
trusting
in
the
performance
of
their
worship
and
works
,
which
brought
in
penances
,
and
such
kind
of
Sacriledge
against
Jesus
Christ
,
and
all
other
Trumperies
,
to
build
fallen
men
upon
his
own
bottom
,
and
to
devise
a
way
of
satisfaction
to
God
,
wherein
they
failed
;
to
which
the
hearts
of
Men
are
most
naturally
carried
,
which
made
that
Doctrine
so
easily
and
generally
over-run
the
world
.
Against
which
accursed
Doctrine
,
that
famous
Witness
of
Jesus
Christ
,
Luther
began
his
main
battery
;
and
though
the
Doctrine
of
Justification
by
Jesus
Christ
be
known
to
the
Protestant
World
,
yet
practically
to
be
brought
over
to
it
,
by
an
Union
with
Jesus
Christ
,
is
but
(
we
may
fear
)
thinly
known
or
understood
,
yea
,
not
only
by
the
common
spirits
of
England
,
that
rest
in
a
Notion
of
being
Protestants
,
but
even
amongst
many
who
have
profest
something
beyond
it
,
as
I
before
have
hinted
;
yea
,
the
Lord
Jesus
Christ
professeth
to
expect
to
find
multitudes
of
Professors
at
his
coming
under
this
soul-damning
snare
,
of
being
found
in
themselves
,
and
in
their
own
righteousness
,
and
not
in
Jesus
Christ
,
Mat.
7.
&

,
&c.
By
all
which
it
may
amply
appear
how
easie
,
how
natural
a
thing
it
is
for
the
hearts
of
the
Children
of
Men
,
to
bottom
their
confidence
in
what
they
do
towards
God
and
Man
,
in
their
obedience
of
the
Law
,
as
to
place
their
acceptance
in
it
.
Add
to
this
the
reasons
of
it
,
why
the
hearts
of
all
the
sons
and
daughters
of
Adam
,
are
naturally
apt
to
rest
upon
the
law
,
and
their
own
doings
,
and
to
hope
for
peace
by
it
.
1.
Every
natural
man
,
hath
something
of
the
remains
of
the
Law
,
which
God
at
first
wrote
in
the
heart
of
our
common
Father
Adam
,
Rom.
2.14
,
15.
which
being
a
little
drawn
forth
by
the
Letter
of
the
Law
,
it
makes
a
poor
creature
set
himself
to
endeavour
to
keep
the
law
,
and
hopes
to
attain
to
such
a
degree
as
to
be
accepted
with
God
for
it
:
Now
there
is
no
such
thing
in
the
heart
to
come
to
Christ
,
or
to
have
righteousness
in
another
;
therefore
a
soul
sets
himself
to
the
Law
,
and
endeavours
more
or
less
,
the
keeping
of
it
naturally
.
2.
Man
would
fain
make
up
the
breach
he
hath
made
with
God
,
upon
his
own
account
:
As
a
Man
had
naturally
rather
do
a
thing
himself
,
than
be
beholding
to
another
;
therefore
upon
Conviction
of
guilt
he
sets
himself
to
make
up
the
breach
,
to
satisfie
God
by
some
attonement
or
other
,
that
his
own
heart
can
contrive
;
his
sorrowing
and
repenting
he
hopes
may
pacifie
God
,
or
some
new
sacrifice
of
more
performances
,
or
being
better
for
the
time
to
come
:
Thus
the
heart
works
secretly
,
and
upon
his
own
account
;
God
letting
forth
some
mercy
(
as
he
thinks
)
where
he
fails
,
he
hopes
to
make
up
any
breach
that
sin
hath
made
between
God
and
his
soul
;
and
thus
he
is
still
upon
the
Old
Covenant
,
under
the
law
.
3.
A
Sinner
is
more
apt
to
keep
to
the
Law
,
than
go
to
Christ
,
from
a
secret
pride
of
heart
;
he
would
not
be
found
at
a
total
loss
with
God
,
to
be
wholly
undone
,
and
unable
to
do
any
thing
towards
his
own
peace
and
salvation
:
A
soul
naturally
had
rather
part
with
all
sin
,
and
have
his
nature
made
perfectly
holy
,
than
be
quite
undone
in
himself
,
and
come
to
have
all
his
righteousness
in
another
,
in
Jesus
Christ
.
And
here
it
is
,
that
most
souls
stick
in
the
coming
off
their
own
bottoms
,
to
be
justified
in
Jesus
Christ
.
In
a
word
,
Man
had
rather
do
any
thing
,
than
come
a
poor
destitute
sinner
to
Jesus
Christ
for
all
.
4.
Because
't
is
not
suitable
to
the
Light
of
natural
reason
,
that
a
soul
should
satisfie
God
,
or
become
righteous
any
other
way
,
than
by
his
own
endeavour
;
to
be
righteous
in
another
,
is
of
Divine
Revelation
,
which
till
a
Soul
hath
,
he
cannot
let
go
the
principle
of
self-justification
.
The
next
thing
to
be
considered
will
be
this
,
if
all
men
are
under
the
Law
,
and
the
curse
of
it
,
under
the
guilt
of
the
whole
law
,
without
all
excuse
before
God
,
under
an
impossibility
of
attaining
righteousness
or
acceptance
with
God
,
by
the
best
keeping
of
the
Law
,
and
yet
a
natural
and
strong
aptitude
to
rest
upon
the
law
,
and
that
a
soul
may
reform
and
take
up
,
be
strict
in
obedience
,
and
yet
still
be
under
the
law
,
how
then
may
a
soul
know
whether
in
the
way
of
his
Obedience
,
he
be
yet
under
the
Law
,
and
not
under
Grace
?
Some
Discoveries
I
shall
lay
down
at
present
,
resolving
a
fuller
discussion
of
this
.
And
by
the
way
,
know
and
consider
,
that
though
thou
art
under
the
the
profession
of
the
Name
of
Jesus
Christ
,
and
pretendest
Salvation
by
him
,
yet
practically
and
really
thou
may'st
be
still
under
the
Law
.
1.
If
thou
hast
never
been
convinc'd
of
this
close
evil
in
thy
heart
,
of
resting
on
thy
praying
,
and
repenting
,
and
endeavouring
to
keep
the
Law
as
well
as
thou
canst
,
I
say
,
if
the
Spirit
of
the
Lord
hath
not
convinced
thee
of
it
,
and
of
the
great
danger
of
it
,
and
so
humbled
thee
,
and
brought
thee
off
it
,
thou
art
certainly
under
the
Law
as
yet
.
2.
If
thou
dost
not
watch
against
this
evil
,
and
dost
not
find
a
great
difficulty
,
not
to
rest
upon
a
performance
of
any
duty
to
God
,
thou
dost
then
certainly
rest
upon
it
.
3.
If
thou
art
well
satisfied
,
that
thou
art
kept
from
outward
gross
sins
;
and
the
sin
of
thy
〈◊〉
is
not
thy
greatest
burthen
,
mourning
under
the
weight
of
it
,
then
thou
must
know
that
thou
art
yet
under
the
law
.
4.
If
thou
thinkest
God
will
accept
of
the
will
for
the
deed
,
if
thou
dost
as
well
as
thou
canst
in
every
duty
,
so
as
to
accept
thee
thereby
,
as
if
it
had
been
done
perfectly
;
this
also
bespeaks
thee
under
the
Law
.
5.
If
thou
canst
not
experience
,
how
the
Lord
by
the
light
and
working
of
his
word
and
spirit
hath
brought
thee
off
thy
legal
foundation
thou
wast
building
upon
,
and
shew'd
thee
,
that
such
things
as
thou
didst
account
gain
,
became
but
loss
unto
thee
,
for
Jesus
Christ
,
Phil.
3.7
.
6.
If
thou
art
not
troubled
about
the
Hypocrisie
of
thy
heart
,
and
not
abased
for
it
,
even
in
thy
best
performances
;
then
thou
art
yet
upon
the
bottom
of
the
Law
,
and
restest
in
it
.
7.
If
thou
art
not
mostly
troubled
about
believing
,
and
dost
not
find
it
the
most
difficult
work
of
thy
soul
,
if
no
complaint
to
God
of
an
unbelieving
heart
,
then
thou
art
indeed
a
Hypocrite
,
and
under
the
Law
.
8.
If
thou
art
not
humbled
to
God
for
the
sinful
mixtures
of
thy
duties
,
the
deadness
,
distraction
of
them
,
and
so
seest
thy
acceptance
cannot
be
in
them
,
but
in
Jesus
Christ
;
then
thou
restest
in
them
.
9.
If
thou
dost
not
give
up
thy self
to
the
leadings
of
the
Spirit
,
and
doest
not
find
,
that
in
the
main
of
thy
course
,
thou
art
led
by
the
Spirit
,
then
thou
art
under
the
Law
,
Gal.
3.18
.
But
if
ye
are
led
by
the
spirit
,
ye
are
not
under
the
Law
.
10.
If
thou
art
not
troubled
about
thy
inward
growth
,
in
mortification
of
all
sin
,
and
more
holy
Communion
with
God
,
then
thou
art
also
under
the
Law
:
One
under
the
Law
,
that
is
somewhat
strict
and
conscientious
,
may
grow
in
the
bulk
of
outward
Duties
,
but
not
in
inward
Holiness
.
11.
If
thy
care
be
not
to
live
in
the
sense
of
thy
Justification
by
grace
through
Jesus
Christ
,
and
to
preserve
the
light
and
peace
of
a
justified
state
,
which
thou
hast
been
called
to
by
grace
;
then
thou
livest
in
self-justification
.
12.
If
thy
great
care
be
not
,
if
thou
findest
it
not
thy
greatest
difficulty
,
to
be
kept
a
poor
empty
creature
in
thy self
,
and
live
in
the
fulness
of
Christ
,
if
self-fulness
,
self-exaltation
,
be
not
the
great
evils
thou
watchest
against
,
(
at
least
in
some
measure
,
thou
art
sensible
of
the
roots
of
them
)
then
thou
art
yet
under
all
I
have
been
proving
,
the
law
,
guilt
,
and
a
curse
;
and
all
thy
duties
and
doings
,
as
I
have
shew'd
;
abhorred
of
God
.
Examine
thy
heart
by
these
particulars
over
and
over
,
and
if
by
these
thou
canst
not
make
out
that
thou
hast
been
through
rich
grace
,
brought
off
from
thy
own
foundation
upon
the
law
,
and
so
come
,
with
much
difficulty
,
to
the
Gospel-grace
,
and
righteousness
by
Jesus
Christ
,
and
that
if
thou
hadst
been
let
alone
in
peace
in
thy
former
state
,
thou
hadst
been
certainly
damned
;
sure
thou
art
then
as
yet
void
of
any
interest
in
the
Gospel
saving
righteousness
;
thy
pretended
faith
,
and
hope
,
and
duties
,
and
works
,
and
conscience
,
all
's
in
vain
.
Now
the
soul
that
hath
the
blessed
experience
of
all
these
,
and
can
say
,
I
have
through
infinite
mercy
been
brought
off
my
own
foundation
,
and
I
have
found
the
difficulty
of
it
,
I
find
my
heart
apt
to
settle
upon
my
own
performances
,
and
't
is
that
I
would
watch
against
;
and
I
can
experience
the
sin
of
my
Nature
the
greatest
burthen
,
and
cry
out
of
it
daily
before
the
Lord
;
the
Hypocrisie
of
my
heart
is
an
abhorring
to
me
,
I
do
find
believing
the
hardest
work
of
my
soul
,
I
do
mourn
under
the
sinful
mixture
of
my
duties
,
I
do
give
up
my self
to
the
spirits
leadings
,
I
am
troubled
about
my
inward
growth
,
and
humbled
for
the
shortness
of
it
,
I
would
learn
more
and
more
to
live
out
of
my self
for
my
Justification
,
and
to
be
kept
a
poor
empty
nothing
for
ever
before
the
Lord
;
if
this
,
I
say
,
be
thy
experience
,
then
thou
shalt
have
peace
and
joy
in
the
Holy
Ghost
;
thou
may'st
rejoyce
in
a
justified
estate
,
Christ
,
his
Righteousness
,
Grace
,
Spirit
,
Heaven
are
thine
.
Having
now
laid
open
the
Sinner
,
as
under
the
Law
,
excuseless
,
guilty
and
under
Condemnation
,
under
an
impossibility
of
obtaining
righteousness
and
acceptance
with
God
,
by
the
best
endeavours
to
keep
the
Law
;
I
would
now
set
upon
the
opening
the
Gospel-Righteousness
by
Jesus
Christ
,
through
which
only
a
poor
condemned
Sinner
can
find
acceptance
;
but
that
I
conceive
it
first
needful
to
speak
a
word
to
those
words
in
the
close
of
the
22th
.
verse
,
(
viz.
)
For
there
is
no
difference
;
which
may
further
help
on
the
conviction
we
have
been
upon
.
The
Jew
might
object
to
the
Apostle
thus
;
you
by
your
Doctrine
seem
to
conclude
all
under
the
Law
equally
,
and
under
guilt
;
you
make
no
difference
between
us
Jews
who
have
the
Law
,
and
endeavour
to
keep
it
,
and
the
open
prophane
Gentiles
and
Sinners
;
in
this
,
you
do
us
wrong
;
No
,
saith
the
Apostle
,
There
's
no
difference
,
you
who
in
part
keep
the
Law
,
are
under
the
same
condemnation
as
others
;
that
which
I
shall
lay
down
,
will
be
this
.
Observ
.
There
is
no
difference
between
the
most
prophane
person
,
and
the
righteous
and
sober
,
as
to
justification
or
condemnation
by
the
Law
.
I
mean
this
;
the
just
sober
man
,
as
to
his
keeping
of
the
Law
outwardly
or
in
part
,
is
in
as
damnable
estate
as
the
profanest
wretch
in
the
world
:
This
will
hardly
go
down
,
but
't
is
most
clear
from
the
Apostles
words
read
unto
you
,
and
hath
been
in
part
proved
,
by
shewing
all
the
Sons
and
Daughters
of
Adam
,
Jews
and
Gentiles
,
sober
and
ungodly
,
all
under
the
Law
.
But
a
little
further
to
prosecute
this
Doctrine
;
for
,
where
a
man
or
woman
,
who
hath
lived
honestly
or
soberly
in
the
eye
of
the
world
(
but
yet
out
of
Christ
)
convinced
that
he
or
she
were
in
as
bad
and
damnable
a
condition
as
any
great
sinner
in
the
world
,
it
might
be
a
startling
to
them
,
and
a
means
,
through
the
Spirit
's
working
,
to
bring
them
off
their
vain
confidence
,
and
to
lead
them
to
Christ
.
Now
that
I
may
clear
this
,
let
us
first
consider
,
what
it
was
that
might
difference
the
sober
Jew
from
the
prophane
idolatrous
Gentile
;
it
being
the
same
,
which
,
such
as
conceive
themselves
sober
harmless
people
in
this
day
,
do
put
confidence
in
.
1.
The
Jew
was
Circumcised
,
which
was
the
first
Ordinance
of
the
Old
Testament-Church
,
as
Baptism
is
of
the
New
,
and
it
doth
appear
this
was
much
insisted
on
by
the
Jew
,
by
what
the
Apostle
speaks
,
Rom.
2.
vers.
18
,
19.
For
he
is
not
a
Jew
who
is
one
outwardly
,
neither
is
that
Circumcision
which
is
outward
in
the
flesh
,
but
he
is
a
Jew
which
is
one
inwardly
,
and
Circumcision
is
that
of
the
heart
,
in
the
spirit
,
and
not
in
the
letter
,
whose
praise
is
not
of
men
but
of
God
.
2.
They
had
the
Scriptures
of
God
,
Rom.
3.2
.
Vnto
them
were
committed
the
Oracles
of
God
;
which
indeed
the
Apostle
calls
an
Advantage
,
(
in
the
same
place
)
as
it
might
be
a
means
to
lead
them
to
the
knowledge
of
God
,
and
to
the
Promise
of
Jesus
Christ
,
but
no
advantage
at
all
,
(
as
to
the
meer
having
them
read
and
opened
,
and
in
a
general
Faith
,
believing
them
)
as
the
more
to
justifie
them
in
the
sight
of
God
.
3.
The
Jews
were
under
the
publick
Service
of
God
,
such
as
was
ordained
by
God
himself
,
Rom.
9.4
,
5.
4.
They
were
for
the
most
part
righteous
to
Men
,
and
sober
,
and
blameless
in
the
outward
man
;
Ye
indeed
are
they
which
are
righteous
before
men
;
as
the
Lord
often
speaks
of
them
:
Now
't
is
most
clear
,
that
these
things
did
not
difference
the
Jew
,
as
to
acceptation
with
God
and
Jesus
Christ
,
from
the
most
profane
sinner
;
for
the
Lord
Jesus
Christ
rejected
these
,
and
call'd
to
himself
Publicans
and
Harlots
,
and
tells
the
Jews
that
such
should
enter
into
the
Kingdom
of
God
before
them
,
Matth.
21.31
.
As
might
be
further
instanc'd
in
the
case
of
the
Pharisee
and
Publican
,
Luke
18.9
.
Now
the
Reasons
of
this
point
have
been
before
hinted
,
namely
,
that
a
meer
sober
Man
under
Christian
Priviledges
,
is
no
more
accepted
with
Christ
,
nor
in
any
nearer
capacity
to
come
to
Christ
,
than
the
greatest
sinner
;
because
one
sin
puts
a
man
under
the
condemnation
of
the
Law
,
as
well
as
a
million
of
sins
against
it
;
one
fellony
condemns
a
man
as
well
as
a
thousand
,
and
the
Malefactor
must
dye
by
the
Law
for
it
.
All
the
good
a
man
doth
,
will
not
be
imputed
to
him
,
if
he
be
found
a
transgressor
in
one
part
of
the
Law
,
Ezek.
18.24
.
All
men
come
short
of
the
glory
of
God
,
in
the
fulfilling
of
the
Law
,
and
he
that
falls
short
but
in
one
mile
is
in
as
bad
a
case
as
he
that
falls
short
twenty
miles
:
Jesus
Christ
accepts
of
no
man
for
his
righteousness
,
but
as
a
Sinner
,
nothing
else
but
a
Sinner
;
so
that
still
the
case
of
a
just
man
in
reference
to
the
Law
,
is
as
dangerous
as
the
greatest
sinners
in
the
world
.
Vse
.
A
little
further
to
press
this
;
you
who
are
baptized
,
have
a
general
belief
of
the
Scriptures
,
are
under
part
of
the
publick
service
of
God
,
are
just
and
harmless
as
to
men
;
but
yet
are
under
the
power
of
Vnbelief
,
and
see
it
not
,
are
not
born
again
of
the
Spirit
,
are
not
in
Christ
Jesus
:
You
who
rest
satisfied
in
such
a
condition
,
and
think
your
hope
for
Heaven
well-grounded
,
and
will
not
be
beaten
off
it
,
I
must
tell
you
,
and
't
is
proved
unto
your
Consciences
from
the
Word
of
the
Lord
,
that
there
's
no
difference
between
you
and
the
vilest
sinners
in
the
Country
,
as
to
your
acceptance
with
God
:
Though
it
be
thus
with
you
,
yet
,
as
you
have
been
shewed
,
you
may
be
under
the
Law
,
condemned
for
one
transgression
;
and
what
can
you
be
more
,
than
be
condemned
?
Neither
doth
all
this
,
as
in
it self
,
any
more
prepare
you
for
Jesus
Christ
;
and
therefore
let
all
the
Convictions
,
Arguments
,
Demonstrations
,
we
have
produced
from
the
clear
light
of
the
Word
of
the
Lord
,
at
last
prevail
with
you
,
that
you
who
thus
satisfie
your selves
,
because
you
are
baptized
,
believe
the
Scriptures
,
frequent
the
service
of
God
,
are
just
and
sober
,
therefore
it
is
well
with
you
,
and
you
will
trouble
your selves
no
further
in
the
matter
of
your
Salvation
,
that
the
estate
of
your
Souls
is
as
unsafe
and
desperate
,
how
secure
soever
,
as
the
vilest
Drunkard
in
the
Country
.
Therefore
,
let
this
Conviction
have
force
upon
your
Conscience
,
that
you
must
come
anew
to
Jesus
Christ
,
as
a
meer
sinner
,
having
nothing
to
commend
you
to
him
.
Say
,
from
the
Light
of
the
Word
,
though
I
have
thus
satisfied
my self
,
pleas'd
my self
,
in
these
Duties
and
outward
Priviledges
,
yet
there
's
no
difference
between
me
and
the
vilest
sinner
,
in
order
to
my
acceptance
with
Jesus
Christ
:
Nay
,
if
this
Conviction
take
upon
thee
,
thou
wilt
say
to
the
glory
of
God
,
and
thy
own
Confusion
;
If
there
be
any
difference
,
't
is
that
thou
art
the
greatest
sinner
,
having
mock'd
the
Lord
,
rested
in
out-side
service
,
dealt
hypocritically
with
the
jealous
God
,
offered
him
abominable
sacrifice
,
and
therefore
fit
to
be
abhorred
of
the
Lord
for
ever
:
Oh!
that
this
might
be
the
posture
of
thy
Soul
!
and
so
thou
may'st
come
and
lye
prostrate
at
the
feet
of
Jesus
Christ
,
crying
,
Oh!
no
more
,
no
more
,
a
righteous
person
!
but
a
sinner
,
a
guilty
sinner
,
a
condemned
sinner
,
a
poor
,
blind
,
naked
sinner
;
nothing
else
but
a
sinner
!
Away
with
all
my
former
confidences
,
tear
them
from
my
heart
,
Lord
.
Now
Lord
Jesus
,
I
cast
my self
upon
thee
!
Oh!
let
me
creep
unto
thy
blessed
feet
!
Oh!
I
come
to
thee
;
not
because
I
am
righteous
,
(
for
I
would
abhor
my self
for
ever
in
the
thought
of
it
)
but
as
a
poor
perishing
sinner
,
the
worst
of
sinners
,
an
hypocritical
sinner
:
Oh!
that
I
could
take
hold
of
thy
righteousness
,
to
cover
my
naked
Soul
;
I
expect
it
only
upon
the
account
of
thy
Free-Grace
;
Oh
Lord
,
I
come
unto
thee
,
do
not
,
do
not
reject
me
.
And
thus
I
have
been
endeavouring
to
lay
the
sinner
before
Jesus
Christ
in
such
a
posture
,
having
proved
him
under
the
Law
,
excuseless
in
his
transgressing
of
it
,
guilty
before
God
,
under
an
impossibility
of
reaching
to
an
acceptance
with
God
,
by
the
best
keeping
of
the
Law
;
laboured
to
beat
him
off
such
props
and
confidences
that
the
Heart
naturally
cleaves
to
,
and
stript
him
of
all
,
naked
as
Adam
,
when
he
had
sinned
before
the
Lord
,
as
nothing
else
but
a
Sinner
,
which
is
that
I
have
driven
at
.
I
now
come
to
speak
of
the
way
of
a
poor
Souls
justification
,
and
acceptance
with
God
,
by
Jesus
Christ
,
as
the
Lord
shall
assist
,
to
the
capacity
of
the
weakest
.
ROM.

.
Being
justified
freely
by
his
Grace
,
through
the
Redemption
that
is
in
Jesus
Christ
,
&c.
I
Am
now
come
to
open
the
Gospel-righteousness
,
wherein
a
poor
sinner
finds
acceptance
with
God
;
which
in
ver.
21.
of
this
third
of
the
Romans
,
is
said
to
be
now
manifested
;
that
is
,
more
fully
manifested
by
the
Revelation
of
Jesus
Christ
in
the
Gospel
,
being
witnessed
(
before
)
by
the
Law
and
the
Prophets
,
Even
the
righteousness
of
God
,
which
is
by
the
Faith
of
Jesus
Christ
unto
all
,
and
upon
all
them
that
believe
,
ver.
22.
called
the
righteousness
of
God
;
namely
,
that
whereby
God
doth
only
justifie
and
accept
of
a
Sinner
,
wrought
forth
by
the
obedience
of
Jesus
Christ
,
and
made
over
and
imputed
to
a
poor
Soul
that
doth
embrace
it
by
Faith
,
whether
Jew
or
Gentile
,
outwardly
righteous
or
profane
:
All
that
ever
come
to
God
,
must
come
this
way
,
and
stand
before
him
in
this
Righteousness
,
or
perish
for
ever
;
which
I
shall
begin
to
open
from
ver.
24
,
25.
1.
Being
justified
freely
by
his
grace
,
through
the
Redemption
that
is
in
Jesus
Cheist
.
2.
Whom
God
hath
set
forth
to
be
a
propitiation
through
Faith
in
his
blood
,
&c.
We
have
endeavoured
,
in
the
former
Discourse
,
to
go
along
with
the
Apostle
,
in
proving
,
that
by
all
the
Deeds
of
the
Law
,
all
the
best
Obedience
that
a
sinner
can
reach
unto
,
he
cannot
be
justified
before
God
,
neither
in
part
,
nor
in
whole
,
that
your
good
deeds
will
not
procure
pardon
,
nor
poise
down
your
sins
,
but
all
,
by
the
Law
,
equally
under
condemnation
.
Of
what
importance
then
is
it
for
poor
condemned
souls
to
be
well
acquainted
with
,
and
really
and
practically
invested
in
that
way
of
justification
,
that
God
in
infinite
wisdom
,
mercy
and
love
,
hath
set
forth
in
the
Gospel
,
which
is
that
I
now
design
.
The
Apostles
arguing
is
thus
:
If
all
fall
short
of
righteousness
,
and
acceptance
with
God
,
by
their
own
obedience
;
if
all
have
sinned
,
and
come
short
of
the
glory
of
God
,
then
are
all
,
and
that
equally
,
condemned
:
If
so
condemned
,
then
acceptance
with
God
,
and
justification
,
and
remission
of
sins
,
must
come
in
another
way
:
The
Rise
and
Fountain
of
which
,
must
necessarily
be
Gods
free
mercy
and
grace
:
If
made
righteous
,
it
must
be
in
the
righteousness
of
another
,
wrought
forth
by
another
:
Justice
must
be
satisfied
by
another
,
a
price
paid
to
God
for
a
sinners
redemption
by
another
,
which
is
Jesus
Christ
,
blessed
for
ever
.
From
the
words
then
,
I
shall
first
lay
down
this
plain
Observation
,
viz.
Observ
.
Gods
free
mercy
and
grace
is
the
first
Fountain
of
any
sinners
salvation
;
or
,
'T
is
upon
the
account
of
Gods
free
grace
that
any
sinner
is
saved
.
Thus
runs
the
current
of
the
whole
Gospel
,
the
main
design
of
the
Gospel
being
to
glorifie
the
riches
of
Gods
Free-grace
by
Jesus
Christ
.
Among
many
other
Scriptures
the
Apostle
doth
most
convincingly
discourse
in
Rom.
5.
from
the
15th
.
to
the
end
;
setting
the
Free-grace
of
God
unto
Justification
,
in
opposition
to
a
sinners
condemnation
;
But
not
as
the
offence
,
so
also
is
the
free
gift
;
for
if
through
the
offence
of
one
many
be
dead
,
much
more
the
grace
of
God
,
and
the
gift
by
grace
,
which
is
by
one
man
,
Jesus
Christ
,
hath
abounded
unto
many
.
To
the
same
import
runs
the
rest
of
the
verses
,
The
free
gift
of
many
unto
Justification
,
much
more
they
which
receive
abundance
of
grace
,
and
the
gift
of
Righteousness
,
shall
reign
in
life
by
one
Jesus
Christ
:
All
of
Grace
,
and
of
Free-gift
,
abundance
of
Grace
,
from
first
to
last
;
That
as
sin
reigned
unto
death
,
so
might
Grace
reign
through
Righteousness
unto
eternal
life
,
by
Jesus
Christ
our
Lord
,
verse
last
.
So
the
Apostle
in
that
Epistle
to
the
Ephesians
,
wherein
the
Doctrine
of
Grace
is
blessedly
given
forth
,
drives
all
the
spiritual
blessings
in
heavenly
things
in
Christ
,
mentioned
Chap.
1.3
.
&c.
to
this
blessed
Fountain
,
Chap.
2.4
.
&c.
But
God
who
is
rich
in
mercy
,
for
his
great
love
,
wherewith
he
loved
us
,
even
when
we
were
dead
in
sins
hath
quickned
us
together
with
Christ
,
(
for
by
Grace
ye
are
saved
;
)
so
verse
7.
That
in
the
Ages
to
come
,
he
might
shew
the
exceeding
riches
of
his
Grace
;
and
ver.
8.
For
by
grace
ye
are
saved
,
it
is
the
gift
of
God
.
Therefore
the
invitation
of
the
Gospel
to
sinners
runs
upon
this
score
;
Ho
,
Every
one
that
thirsteth
,
come
to
the
Waters
of
Life
,
Isa.
55.1
.
And
,
Whosoever
will
,
let
him
come
to
the
Water
of
life
freely
,
Revel.
22.17
.
I
might
illustrate
this
in
all
the
particulars
of
a
sinners
salvation
,
God's
fore-ordaining
and
choosing
any
to
salvation
,
't
was
to
the
praise
of
the
glory
of
his
grace
,

fountain

Free-grace
:
Some
Reasons
of
the
Design
of
the
Blessed
God
in
this
,
may
be
gathered
from
the
Scriptures
:
The
Free-grace
of
God
is
the
Fountain
of
all
,
in
any
sinners
salvation
;
1.
Because
,
There
is
nothing
in
the
Creature
that
may
move
God
to
save
him
:
Nothing
at
all
,
all
we
know
or
do
,
could
not
move
God
to
mercy
,
Deut.
7.7
,
8.
The
Lord
did
not
set
his
love
upon
you
,
because
you
were
more
in
number
than
any
people
,
but
because
he
freely
loved
you
,
&c.
Not
for
your
sake
do
I
do
this
,
&c.
Ezek.
36.32
.
2.
As
God
saw
nothing
in
him
,
so
the
sinner
is
able
to
bring
nothing
to
God
,
to
draw
out
mercy
of
his
own
,
therefore
saith
the
Lord
,
Isa.
55.1
.
let
him
come
without
his
price
:
As
the
sinner
lost
all
his
good
,
so
he
can
procure
none
anew
to
bring
to
God
,
that
may
in
the
least
move
the
heart
of
God
to
give
out
more
to
him
.
3.
If
it
were
not
all
of
Grace
,
then
the
Creature
would
have
occasion
of
boasting
;
but
the
Lord
in
infinite
wisdom
,
so
laid
the
Project
of
a
sinners
Salvation
,
that
no
Creature
should
have
the
least
ground
of
boasting
:
So
the
Apostle
having
given
out
the
Doctrine
of
Grace
in
this
Scripture
we
are
upon
,
draws
this
conclusion
,
ver.
27.
Where
is
boasting
then
?
It
is
excluded
,
&c.
So
in
the
1
Cor.
1.29
.
the
Holy
Ghost
lays
down
this
as
the
main
scope
of
God
in
the
Gospel
:
That
,
No
flesh
should
glory
in
his
presence
,
Therefore
Salvation
is
all
of
Grace
,
of
Free-grace
.
4.
If
it
were
not
so
,
The
glory
of
God
would
not
be
so
great
in
the
Salvation
of
a
sinner
.
'T
is
now
so
laid
,
that
all
might
be
,
to
the
praise
of
the
glory
of
his
Grace
,
Ephes.
1.6
.
It
being
the
highest
piece
of
glory
,
that
the
Wise
and
Blessed
God
did
ever
design
unto
himself
,
that
his
free
,
rich
,
abundant
,
infinite
grace
might
be
made
known
in
the
Salvation
of
a
Sinner
:
That
he
might
make
known
the
riches
of
his
glory
on
the
Vessels
of
Mercy
,
which
he
had
afore
prepared
unto
glory
,
Rom.
9.23
.
Vse
1.
If
God's
Free-grace
be
the
Fountain
of
all
in
a
poor
Sinners
Salvation
,
then
let
it
establish
our
judgments
in
this
Doctrine
:
Therefore
God
had
no
respect
to
any
fore-sight
of
Faith
or
Works
in
the
Creature
;
God
had
no
respect
to
the
freeness
of
his
Will
,
for
he
knew
he
had
none
:
God
had
no
respect
to
any
conditions
to
be
wrought
in
us
;
but
all
he
did
,
and
doth
,
was
from
absolute
Independing
Grace
:
Nothing
moved
him
but
his
own
Free-grace
.
The
same
Free-grace
that
pardons
,
gives
and
works
,
all
in
us
;
all
from
the
same
Fountain
.
2.
If
all
be
of
Free-grace
,
then
there
is
no
meritorious
procuring
Cause
in
us
,
that
moves
the
Lord
to
mercy
:
Now
the
contrary
is
naturally
rooted
in
our
hearts
,
poor
Souls
are
most
apt
to
conceive
,
that
if
they
can
grieve
for
their
sins
,
repent
,
and
reform
,
this
will
sure
move
God
to
mercy
and
pardon
.
A
most
dangerous
snare
,
from
which
a
Soul
,
after
much
conviction
,
is
hardly
wrought
off
:
Now
,
though
God
in
the
way
of
a
sinners
Salvation
,
hath
promised
to
give
Repentance
,
Act.
5.31
.
and
a
Spirit
of
mourning
for
sin
:
Yet
a
poor
soul
must
take
heed
that
he
make
not
this
a
procuring
cause
of
Pardon
:
Many
a
Soul
sticks
here
,
before
emptied
of
himself
,
even
of
his
very
repenting
,
and
so
come
for
grace
and
mercy
,
upon
the
account
of
the
Free-promise
only
:
How
many
a
Sinner
might
have
been
saved
,
if
he
would
have
been
saved
freely
?
3.
If
God
hath
so
laid
the
Design
to
save
a
Sinner
freely
,
then
how
great
,
how
just
is
the
Condemnation
of
guilty
sinners
,
that
will
not
hasten
in
unto
it
;
how
could
the
Lord
have
laid
it
more
freely
than
he
hath
?
Oh
that
any
sinner
,
for
ever
condemned
to
Hell
without
it
,
should
withstand
it
!
Why
sinner
?
Shall
the
blessed
God
,
that
might
have
much
glory
in
condemning
thee
to
all
Eternity
,
be
willing
to
save
thee
freely
;
and
wilt
thou
not
come
and
bow
unto
him
,
and
accept
of
it
?
All
the
contempt
of
God
in
all
his
holy
Commands
,
is
not
like
this
,
to
turn
the
back
upon
Free-Mercy
,
Free-Salvation
:
This
will
be
the
Worm
that
never
dies
,
to
any
of
your
Souls
that
shall
not
come
into
,
and
rightly
accept
of
Gospel-Salvation
,
that
you
might
have
been
saved
freely
,
have
had
grace
,
remission
of
sins
,
Jesus
Christ
,
the
Spirit
,
Eternal
Life
freely
,
and
yet
turned
your
backs
upon
it
?
But
you
may
demand
,
How
is
it
that
any
sinner
doth
so
?
What
is
it
that
causeth
any
Soul
to
forego
Free-grace
and
Mercy
,
when
held
out
unto
him
,
that
we
may
beware
of
such
hinderances
?
I
will
therefore
shew
you
such
Hinderances
,
that
keep
Souls
from
accepting
of
God's
Free-grace
in
Jesus
Christ
,
when
held
out
unto
them
.

Wilful
Obstinacy

Ye
will
not
come
unto
me
,
that
you
might

Ye

such
is
the
stubborness
and
rebellion
of
the
heart
of
a
sinner
,
that
he
will
not
,
as
we
speak
,
because
he
will

to
such
a
height
hath
sin
raised
the
heart

the
rebellious
children

man

till
made

A
sinner
doth
not
accept
of
Free-grace
,
because
he
stands
upon
his
self-justification
;
he
will
not
be
perswaded
he
hath
so
much
need
of
all
Free-grace
,
as
the
Gospel
discovers
;
as
hath
been
shewed
at
large
,
though
he
hath
sinned
,
yet
also
he
hath
obeyed
,
and
so
he
puts
one
against
the
other
,
his
obedience
against
his
sin
,
and
so
hopes
to
get
that
mercy
he
hath
need
of
.
And
upon
this
ground
,
more
sinners
,
even
that
profess
the
Name
of
God
,
do
miss
of
Heaven
,
than
any
other
in
the
World
:
'T
is
not
so
easie
a
matter
to
submit
to
God's
Free-grace
alone
,
as
many
do
imagine
:
Upon
this
Snare
,
many
of
the
Jewish
Professors
of
Christ
fell
short
,
as
't
is
clear
from
the
Epistle
to
the
Galathians
,
and
did
frustrate
the
grace
of
God
.
3.
A
Sinner
hath
a
secret
thought
of
making
God
satisfaction
,
by
his
sorrow
and
amendment
,
and
so
makes
void
the
Free-grace
of
God
:
'T
is
the
easiest
thing
in
the
World
to
put
up
legal
sorrow
,
and
amendment
of
life
to
God
,
as
that
which
may
make
God
amends
;
yea
,
to
make
an
attonement
of
every
Duty
,
which
is
the
closest
and
most
desperate
evil
of
the
heart
:
So
did
the
Jew
by
his
sacrifices
and
obedience
,
which
caused
the
Lord
to
pronounce
them
,
That
his
soul
loathed
them
,
Isa.

A
Sinner
doth
not
savingly
close
with
free
grace
,
from
secret
pride
of
heart
,
he
would
not
be
found
so
poor
and
helpless
,
so
unrighteous
and
ungracious
,
as
to
be
beholden
to
free
mercy
for
all
;
many
persons
will
rather
starve
than
beg
,
than
live
upon
another
mans
mercy
:
'T
is
so
between
a
sinner
and
the
Lord
,
till
God
humble
him
,
he
'd
rather
venture
Hell
,
than
come
and
acknowledge
utter
Condemnation
,
nothing
but
sin
upon
him
,
and
so
stoop
to
free
mercy
.
5.
The
sinner
stands
off
from
Free-grace
,
because
he
will
make
his
own
terms
:
He
will
condition
for
his
carnal
case
,
his
self-interest
,
his
bosom
lust
,
the
love
of
the
World
,
and
hopes
God
will
allow
him
his
terms
,
which
he
proposeth
to
himself
;
and
herein
he
is
ruined
.
Now
God
hath
drawn
up
the
tenour
of
his
free-grace
in
the
way
of
a
Covenant
,
and
though
there
are
no
conditions
left
to
the
creature
to
make
good
on
his
part
,
by
his
own
power
,
(
for
that
will
easily
imply
a
self-sufficiency
in
him
,
and
is
absolutely
derogatory
from
the
grace
of
God
in
the
Gospel-Covenant
)
yet
God
hath
drawn
up
(
as
I
may
so
speak
)
what
other
good
things
he
will
bestow
on
the
subjects
of
his
free-grace
,
Namely
,
The
Law
to
be
new
written
in
their
hearts
,
the
gift
of
the
Spirit
,
Newness
of
heart
,
with
the
making
good
of
all
those
promises
,
in
a
degree
,
that
hold
forth
Holiness
and
new
Obedience
,
which
must
accompany
the
free
pardon
of
sins
,
and
make
indeed
the
free
grace
of
God
more
glorious
:
Inasmuch
as
when
he
pardons
them
he
will
save
them
from
the
service
of
sin
,
work
his
Image
upon
them
,
bring
them
to
a
blessed
conformity
to
himself
,
which
consider'd
aright
,
sweetens
and
heightens
the
free-grace
of
God
,
and
makes
the
terms
of
it
more
blessed
.
In
a
word
,
Mercy
and
Holiness
must
go
together
,
a
Saviour
and
Sanctifier
,
which
a
sinner
from
the
cursed
love
of
ease
and
satisfaction
to
his
lust
sticks
at
,
and
so
comes
not
up
to
Gods
terms
,
(
which
are
blessed
and
holy
)
and
so
misseth
of
grace
and
mercy
for
ever
,
because
he
chooseth
Sin
rather
than
Holiness
.
6.
Yea
,
a
sinner
(
and
I
speak
all
this
while
of
such
as
pretend
to
an
interest
in
free
mercy
)
misseth
of
this
grace
,
because
he
takes
up
the
terms
of
God
in
his
Covenant-grace
in
his
own
strength
,
will
repent
and
come
up
to
new
obedience
before
he
comes
to
the
promise
,
to
the
free
grace
of
God
for
it
;
which
is
also
a
dangerous
snare
.
A
Sinners
first
work
(
being
convinced
as
we
have
opened
)
is
to
throw
himself
upon
the
free
grace
of
God
for
all
,
to
give
all
,
to
work
all
,
and
to
follow
God
by
vertue
of
Promises
,
of
such
good
and
Grace
as
the
tenour
of
the
Covenant
holds
forth
:
'T
is
an
usual
thing
for
poor
Souls
first
to
think
to
convert
themselves
,
make
themselves
holy
,
and
then
come
to
God
,
and
Jesus
Christ
,
this
is
an
indirect
course
,
Oh!
a
poor
Soul
must
begin
at
the
Foundation
of
Gods
free
Grace
,
for
Christ
,
for
Pardon
,
for
the
Spirit
,
for
Conversion
,
for
Holiness
,
for
all
,
as
held
out
in
Promises
,
and
then
the
work
will
be
sure
,
and
prosper
,
and
nought
shall
hinder
it
.
7.
Sinners
fail
of
this
free
Grace
of
God
,
from
a
neglect
and
a
sleighting
of
it
,
Heb.
2.3
.
How
shall
you
escape
,
if
you
neglect
so
great
salvation
?
Sinners
do
hear
that
,
though
they
are
sinners
and
condemned
,
in
a
damnable
estate
,
yet
Jesus
Christ
will
save
them
;
if
they
will
come
unto
him
,
sit
them
for
Heaven
,
and
do
it
himself
for
them
,
and
in
them
;
yet
through
a
desperate
folly
,
security
and
careless
temper
,
the
heart
being
in
a
dead
sleep
,
they
wretchedly
neglect
it
.
8.
From
the
power
of
Unbelief
,
which
they
are
under
,
and
see
it
not
.
Thus
have
I
shewed
those
special
hindrances
that
cause
poor
Souls
that
hear
of
Gospel-grace
to
withstand
it
,
and
for
ever
to
miss
of
it
.
Oh
that
this
word
of
the
Lord
might
find
you
out
,
and
might
be
as
a
glass
to
shew
you
your
own
hearts
;
you
who
by
a
wilful
obstinacy
have
withstood
the
Gospel-calls
hitherto
,
Oh
,
now
fall
down
before
the
Lord
,
and
cry
,
I
yield
,
I
yield
,
thou
blessed
God
,
thy
Patience
,
thy
freest
Grace
hath
overcome
me
;
Lord
,
take
away
a
rebellious
obstinate
heart
from
me
!
Ah
Lord
!
Thou
hast
waited
to
be
gracious
,
and
Christ
,
and
Mercy
,
and
Heaven
have
been
offered
to
so
vile
a
Wretch
freely
:
Now
,
Lord
,
I
throw
my self
at
thy
feet
,
a
thousand
Hells
are
too
good
for
me
:
But
if
grace
,
infinite
grace
,
be
free
,
there
's
yet
hope
for
me
.
If
there
be
not
grace
enough
in
Heaven
for
me
,
let
me
go
to
the
depth
of
Hell
But
Lord
,
I
take
hold
of
thee
,
I
desire
to
do
it
Oh
,
do
thou
take
hold
of
me
,
and
I
shall
not
perish
.
You
who
have
stood
upon
your
terms
,
and
hoped
you
had
righteousness
enough
to
cover
you
,
and
God
would
look
upon
that
,
and
not
upon
your
sin
,
you
are
the
most
abominable
in
God's
sight
:
You
,
who
secretly
in
your
hearts
think
your
sorrowing
and
reforming
,
makes
God
amends
:
You
who
have
wrapt
your selves
in
these
Cobwebs
,
and
through
pride
of
heart
,
will
not
lay
them
down
;
Oh
,
if
thou
wilt
have
mercy
,
thou
must
have
all
in
a
way
of
mercy
and
grace
,
all
freely
,
or
nothing
at
all
;
see
all
thy
righteousness
made
void
by
one
sin
against
the
Law
,
and
therefore
cursed
and
condemned
by
it
;
therefore
thou
hast
no
Plea
but
free
mercy
and
grace
:
Oh
lay
down
all
thy
other
Pleas
,
they
will
never
be
heard
in
Heaven
!
and
now
cry
out
,
Oh
't
is
of
grace
!
Proud
selfish
Wretch
that
I
have
been
;
't
is
all
of
free
grace
,
if
ever
I
am
saved
:
If
God
cannot
pardon
freely
,
bestow
Jesus
Christ
freely
,
I
am
undone
for
ever
:
Oh
the
wicked
castings
of
my
heart
this
way
and
that
way
!
Oh
there
's
nothing
,
nothing
but
infinite
misery
to
move
mercy
!
All
my
goodness
is
an
accursed
thing
as
from
my self
:
There
's
an
infinite
Fountain
of
sin
and
self-righteousness
in
men
:
Oh
could
I
come
to
an
infinite
Fountain
of
grace
!
Thus
thou
wilt
come
to
God
,
when
he
shall
smite
thy
heart
,
which
now
look
up
unto
him
to
do
.
You
who
have
been
making
your
own
terms
of
ease
,
and
lusts
,
and
world
:
Oh
render
up
your
hearts
to
the
gracious
,
blessed
,
holy
terms
,
that
God
proposeth
:
Why
shouldst
thou
not
be
willing
to
be
made
holy
?
Why
should
not
the
Lord
rather
rule
thee
than
sin
and
the
Devil
?
What
more
beautiful
and
glorious
than
the
Image
of
God
?
Oh
accept
of
Holiness
with
Mercy
,
through
the
Lord
Jesus
Christ
!
Come
unto
him
for
both
;
be
willing
to
be
set
apart
for
God
,
a
Vessel
purged
and
sanctified
for
his
use
,
and
thou
shalt
behold
the
face
of
God
shining
upon
thee
;
and
whatever
is
laid
up
in
Christ
,
in
Promises
,
in
Heaven
and
Glory
,
shall
be
thine
.
You
who
have
thought
to
make
your selves
holy
,
and
then
come
to
Christ
to
be
justified
;
be
convinced
of
your
great
Error
,
and
now
come
as
sinners
to
Jesus
Christ
,
to
be
justified
and
sanctified
in
him
,
and
see
all
grace
laid
up
in
Jesus
Christ
for
such
as
come
unto
him
.
Say
,
Oh
blessed
Lord
Jesus
,
I
cannot
fit
my self
for
thee
!
If
thou
canst
not
accept
me
as
a
poor
undone
helpless
sinner
,
coming
unto
thee
,
I
never
expect
a
blessing
from
thee
.
And
you
who
have
sleighted
this
free
,
rich
and
glorious
grace
,
see
what
you
have
done
,
and
be
abased
for
it
;
see
how
you
cast
back
mercy
upon
the
face
of
God
,
who
would
freely
be
reconciled
with
you
,
pass
by
all
the
grievous
injuries
you
have
done
him
,
enter
into
a
Covenant
with
you
,
bestow
his
Christ
upon
you
,
fit
you
for
communion
with
himself
here
and
for
ever
:
And
all
this
you
have
sleighted
,
and
yet
must
unavoidably
be
for
ever
damned
without
it
.
Sinner
,
who
can
plead
for
thee
,
when
thou
shalt
go
on
to
despise
,
neglect
,
slight
such
grace
?
To
Hell
,
without
pity
of
God
,
Angels
or
Men
,
when
freest
mercy
and
grace
shall
be
slighted
.
I
do
therefore
stand
this
day
in
the
Name
of
Jesus
Christ
,
to
acquaint
you
,
that
he
will
save
you
freely
,
if
you
will
come
unto
him
,
be
your
sins
what
they
will
,
so
you
come
not
as
righteous
,
but
as
sinners
to
him
;
so
you
take
his
Righteousness
to
cover
you
,
and
his
Spirit
of
grace
to
unite
you
to
him
,
and
make
you
holy
,
and
will
give
up
your selves
unto
him
:
All
which
he
will
help
,
if
you
will
come
and
cry
to
him
,
yea
,
if
you
cannot
come
,
he
will
draw
you
;
if
you
are
unwilling
,
he
will
make
you
willing
,
if
you
have
no
heart
,
he
will
give
you
heart
:
What
more
?
Wretched
man
or
woman
,
that
shall
stand
off
one
moment
longer
!
Is
not
Hell
too
good
for
thee
,
if
thou
shal●
now
turn
thy
back
upon
such
grace
?
Let
me
have
your
Answers
this
day
:
Let
me
know
that
sinner
that
will
go
home
resolved
to
be
as
careless
as
he
formerly
hath
been
,
as
well-opinioned
of
himself
,
as
much
resolved
against
Holiness
,
as
thoughtless
of
being
damned
,
if
he
withstand
the
Lord
in
his
Free-grace
one
day
more
?
Oh!
Will
not
your
hearts
stir
?
dead
,
stupid
Souls
!
Shall
God's
Free-grace
,
his
Christ
,
go
a
begging
this
day
,
and
will
not
a
sinner
come
up
to
his
terms
?
Old
sinners
,
that
are
going
into
the
grave
,
and
Hell
too
,
will
not
you
accept
of
Free-grace
,
of
Christ
,
the
Spirit
,
this
day
?
that
are
upon
the
brink
of
the
grave
and
everlasting
burnings
,
and
have
many
a
thousand
sins
yet
unpardoned
?
Is
all
this
nothing
to
you
?
but
rest
in
a
blind
hope
of
mercy
,
without
coming
to
Jesus
Christ
,
without
care
of
being
made
holy
,
and
fit
for
Heaven
:
Oh
,
you
have
been
fast
asleep
in
sin
,
deceived
by
your
own
hearts
,
abused
by
the
Devil
,
forty
,
fifty
,
sixty
years
,
Is'
t
not
time
for
you
to
bethink
your selves
,
to
go
and
cry
to
the
Blessed
God
;
Oh
,
Grace
,
Pardon
,
Christ
,
Heaven
,
upon
any
Terms
!
My
righteousness
I
have
trusted
in
are
poor
Cobwebs
,
my
Confidences
vain
;
Oh
,
for
a
drop
of
Free-mercy
and
grace
,
from
that
Ocean
that
is
in
God
,
and
't
were
better
than
all
I
have
done
for
Heaven
yet
:
Oh
Lord
!
Now
,
now
I
come
to
thee
:
Is
there
free-mercy
and
grace
for
one
that
hath
slighted
it
?
Yea
,
though
thou
hast
gone
on
frowardly
in
thy
own
heart
,
yet
he
can
heal
thee
,
Isa.
57.17
,
18.
And
you
that
are
younger
,
't
is
a
desperate
thing
now
in
times
of
Gospel-Light
,
when
it
glares
upon
your
faces
,
to
shut
your
eyes
,
to
go
on
in
the
way
of
your
own
hearts
,
to
slight
Gospel-Grace
,
to
harden
your selves
,
and
cry
,
hereafter
,
hereafter
.
Alas
!
thou
knowest
not
what
shall
be
on
the
morrow
;
the
Thread
of
thy
life
is
quickly
cut
with
a
stroak
from
God
.
Beside
,
to
go
on
long
,
from
year
to
year
,
against
the
loud
and
frequent
Call
of
Jesus
Christ
,
against
Convictions
,
that
thou
shouldst
do
otherwise
,
is
the
way
to
be
given
up
to
utter
hardness
,
and
the
Lord
to
move
upon
thy
heart
no
more
.
There
's
a
day
of
grace
to
every
Soul
,
which
if
he
suffer
to
set
and
go
down
upon
him
,
he
is
irrecoverably
lost
for
ever
:
Look
to
it
,
you
younger
men
and
maidens
,
that
have
yet
no
work
upon
you
;
that
are
the
same
you
were
,
under
the
means
you
have
lived
;
that
have
not
the
Spirit
of
grace
and
mourning
upon
you
,
when
others
are
praying
and
wrestling
with
the
Lord
,
and
taking
the
Kingdom
of
Heaven
by
violence
.
Oh
up
,
and
be
stirring
,
the
day
of
grace
hath
shined
long
upon
you
:
Hold
out
no
longer
,
Come
,
Come
,
Come
,
you
careless
Sons
and
Daughters
,
and
the
way
is
open
to
you
:
The
door
of
Free-grace
is
open
,
Christs
Arms
are
open
;
you
may
be
saved
and
blessed
for
ever
,
if
you
come
in
,
now
you
are
invited
;
I
can
take
no
excuse
:
Come
,
or
say
,
I
am
resolved
for
Hell
,
and
to
venture
the
utmost
in
the
condition
I
am
in
:
Oh
,
bold
and
fearless
Atheism
!
What
shall
I
say
to
thee
,
if
that
be
thy
Resolution
?
But
I
cannot
be
so
answered
:
Say
,
you
Sinners
,
as
if
I
should
name
you
;
are
you
for
Heaven
,
or
Hell
;
for
Free-grace
,
or
your
own
patch'd-up
righteousness
;
for
carnal
ease
,
or
any
Pains
for
Heaven
;
for
your
Lusts
,
or
for
Holiness
;
for
Jesus
Christ
,
or
the
Devil
?
let
thy
heart
answer
in
good
earnest
this
day
.
Now
shall
I
at
least
have
this
Answer
:
Hold
!
I
am
resolved
for
the
Free-grace
of
God
,
for
the
Lord
Jesus
Christ
;
If
all
the
sinners
in
the
Congregation
,
yea
,
in
the
World
,
should
turn
their
backs
upon
him
;
The
Word
of
the
Lord
hath
overcome
,
Oh
Lord
Jesus
,
may
I
come
?
such
a
Wretch
as
I
come
?
Yea
,
saith
the
Lord
Jesus
,
Rev.
22.17
.
Whosoever
will
,
let
him
come
.
Grace
is
as
free
as
ever
it
was
:
Say
then
,
Oh
Lord
,
I
come
;
draw
me
,
and
I
will
come
:
Into
the
Arms
of
Free-grace
I
throw
my self
,
my
Righteousness
is
an
abominable
thing
:
Ah!
a
Christ
upon
any
terms
;
Oh
let
,
let
me
creep
unto
thy
Blessed
Feet
;
let
me
have
the
lowest
Room
in
thy
Heart
:
Take
what
way
thou
wilt
to
purge
me
,
so
I
may
but
get
well
unto
thee
.
Now
Lord
,
as
much
Holiness
as
thou
wilt
,
let
thy
precious
blood
wash
me
all
over
.
Well
,
go
thus
,
and
acquaint
the
Lord
Jesus
with
it
from
day
to
day
;
wait
,
he
will
speak
to
thee
,
love
to
hear
more
from
him
,
and
of
him
in
his
Gospel
,
and
thou
biddest
fair
for
Heaven
;
yea
,
there
will
presently
be
joy
in
Heaven
for
thee
.
In
a
word
,
I
protest
against
you
in
the
Name
and
Authority
of
God
,
and
the
Lord
Jesus
Christ
,
who
hath
sent
me
,
if
you
shall
withstand
the
grace
of
God
in
Jesus
Christ
,
freely
,
most
freely
offered
you
,
I
shall
be
a
Witness
against
you
:
And
if
any
sinners
in
the
World
shall
be
certainly
damned
,
you
are
they
,
who
neglect
this
great
Salvation
:
'T
is
come
to
this
,
I
would
,
saith
Jesus
Christ
,
and
ye
will
not
.
What
ado
to
have
a
sinner
that
's
sinking
to
Hell
,
to
come
to
the
Lord
Jesus
Christ
,
to
be
freely
saved
?
What
should
a
guilty
sinner
do
,
but
come
to
a
free
Saviour
to
be
saved
,
and
accept
of
his
terms
(
which
are
so
blessed
)
with
a
thousand
hearts
if
he
had
them
?
Now
say
,
how
am
I
straightned
,
till
I
get
to
him
;
I
would
go
and
weep
my
heart
out
to
him
,
had
I
a
heart
to
do
it
.
Now
I
leave
what
hath
been
spoken
to
the
good
pleasure
of
God
,
and
the
work
of
his
Power
,
who
is
able
to
send
away
every
Soul
trembling
and
resigning
up
themselves
to
him
.
Only
a
word
to
any
poor
humbled
doubting
soul
,
that
thinks
infinitely
well
of
all
this
,
but
saith
in
his
heart
,
all
this
grace
is
too
good
for
me
,
I
have
sinned
against
it
,
and
slighted
it
;
I
fear
,
whether
ever
I
may
be
accepted
.
Oh
remember
,
and
consider
,
that
Grace
were
not
Grace
,
if
't
were
not
free
;
God
can
save
a
sinner
freely
;
that
's
enough
to
stay
thee
;
yea
,
though
thou
hast
slighted
grace
,
(
as
where
is
the
Saint
but
did
so
,
before
effectually
called
?
)
yea
God
will
save
a
sinner
freely
,
that
will
come
by
Jesus
Christ
unto
him
.
He
will
:
What
would'st
have
more
?
Do
not
stand
reasoning
thus
;
but
,
if
thou
art
a
sinner
,
undone
without
him
,
cast
off
from
thy
own
Confidences
,
go
to
him
in
the
Name
of
God
,
and
believe
him
upon
his
own
Word
:
Say
,
I
take
thee
,
Blessed
Lord
,
upon
thy
own
Word
;
thou
sayest
,
Whosoever
will
,
let
him
come
:
And
Lord
,
therefore
I
come
;
I
durst
not
come
,
were
I
not
invited
freely
;
and
if
I
must
be
saved
freely
,
if
ever
,
then
thou
art
to
bestow
all
,
work
all
,
begin
and
perfect
all
;
Oh
blessed
Lord
,
I
come
unto
thee
for
it
;
go
and
do
thus
,
and
thou
shalt
be
comforted
,
and
rejoice
in
his
Salvation
.
I
might
also
here
press
blessed
Souls
,
who
have
been
drawn
to
Jesus
Christ
,
and
overcome
by
Free-grace
to
do
it
,
to
live
in
the
Admiration
of
that
grace
,
and
to
be
low
,
and
poor
,
and
emptied
in
your selves
,
in
the
abundant
sense
of
it
all
your
days
.
Let
your
enjoyments
and
attainments
be
what
they
will
,
be
it
known
unto
you
,
that
by
grace
ye
are
saved
;
and
you
had
,
and
have
as
much
need
of
it
,
as
any
sinner
in
the
World
.
God's
Design
in
saving
you
,
was
to
glorifie
Grace
,
and
it
must
be
your
Design
also
here
,
and
for
ever
.
Having
thus
opened
,
in
some
measure
,
the
grace
of
God
,
to
be
the
Fountain
of
a
sinner's
Salvation
,
I
shall
now
proceed
to
discover
the
way
of
the
conveyance
of
this
grace
,
which
is
by
Jesus
Christ
:
(
Being
justified
freely
by
his
grace
,
through
the
Redemption
that
is
in
Jesus
Christ
.
)
Though
God
resolved
to
bestow
grace
upon
such
as
shall
be
saved
freely
,
yet
in
a
way
of
his
own
most
wise
and
blessed
Designing
,
by
his
Eternal
Son
Jesus
Christ
,
to
whom
this
Dispensation
of
Grace
was
committed
;
which
I
shall
further
open
in
this
Doctrine
:
Namely
,
Doct.
All
that
Grace
and
Mercy
which
GOD
gives
out
freely
to
sinners
,
is
conveyed
to
them
by
his
Eternal
Son
,
Jesus
Christ
.
I
might
be
abundant
in
the
proof
of
this
:
See
in
that
5th
.
of
the
Rom.
v.
17
,
21.
—
Much
more
they
which
receive
abundance
of
Grace
,
and
of
the
gift
of
Righteousness
,
shall
reign
in
life
by
one
Jesus
Christ
.
And
vers.
21.
That
as
sin
hath
reigned
unto
death
,
even
so
might
Grace
through
Righteousness
unto
Eternal
Life
,
by
Jesus
Christ
our
Lord
:
All
the
Grace
that
should
reign
unto
Life
is
given
out
by
one
Jesus
Christ
.
The
Law
was
given
by
Moses
,
but
Grace
and
Truth
came
by
Jesus
Christ
,
Joh.
1.17
.
All
the
Treasures
of
Grace
were
laid
up
in
him
;
and
therefore
he
saith
of
himself
,
Matth.
11.27
.
All
things
are
delivered
unto
me
of
my
Father
,
and
none
can
come
unto
the
Father
but
by
me
;
which
he
makes
as
the
great
Argument
why
sinners
should
come
unto
him
,
vers.
28.
Now
,
so
far
as
the
Lord
hath
revealed
the
wise
and
holy
Counsels
of
his
heart
in
his
Word
unto
us
,
let
us
enquire
into
the
Reasons
why
he
took
such
a
way
to
give
all
his
grace
to
the
children
of
men
.
Reason
1.
The
first
is
this
,
That
as
Mankind
lost
all
in
the
Fall
of
the
first
Adam
,
as
he
was
a
publick
person
,
representing
all
that
came
of
him
:
So
it
was
the
Wisdom
of
God
in
the
recovery
of
lost-man
to
bring
forth
another
person
,
that
should
be
fully
stockt
with
Grace
and
Righteousness
,
as
a
publique
person
to
represent
all
the
Elect
unto
the
Father
;
upon
which
account
Jesus
Christ
is
called
the
Second
Adam
,
1
Cor.
15.
And
the
Apostle
sets
the
first
Adam
in
his
offence
unto
Death
,
and
the
Grace
and
Righteousness
of
Jesus
Christ
,
as
the
Second
Adam
,
one
against
the
other
,
Rom.
5.15
,
16
,
&c.
For
as
by
one
mans
Disobedience
many
were
made
sinners
;
so
by
the
Obedience
of
one
shall
many
be
made
righteous
:
And
so
the
Apostle
sets
the
Life
,
Grace
,
Righteousness
of
Jesus
Christ
,
as
the
Second
Adam
,
against
the
Death
,
Condemnation
,
Disobedience
of
the
first
man
that
sinned
in
the
seven
last
Verses
of
that
Chapter
.
And
herein
the
Wisdom
of
the
Father
is
most
excellently
set
forth
,
and
the
ground
of
Consolation
to
Believers
laid
upon
a
most
sure
Foundation
:
That
whatsoever
they
lost
in
the
First
Adam
,
they
recover
with
much
more
abundance
in
Jesus
Christ
;
for
so
the
Apostle
hath
[
that
much
more
]
in
the
Scripture
mentioned
,
three
or
four
times
;
that
Saints
may
see
how
abundantly
compleat
they
are
in
Christ
.
Reason
2.
All
Grace
is
conveyed
by
Jesus
Christ
,
because
there
needed
a
person
to
stand
between
GOD
and
Sinners
,
as
a
Mediator
to
work
forth
Reconciliation
between
them
.
Now
who
was
meet
but
the
Lord
Jesus
Christ
to
undertake
this
?
He
being
the
Eternal
Son
of
God
,
equal
with
God
,
was
near
unto
God
.
A
meer
creature
was
infinitely
unfit
for
such
an
undertaking
,
and
he
being
also
the
Son
of
man
,
cloathed
in
the
nature
of
man
;
he
thus
partaking
of
the
nature
of
God
,
who
was
to
be
appeased
;
and
of
the
nature
of
Man
,
who
was
to
be
reconciled
,
he
became
a
most
meet
Undertaker
of
so
glorious
a
Work
;
Whence
he
hath
that
blessed
Title
given
him
of
Mediator
:
Jesus
the
Mediator
of
a
New
Covenant
,
Heb.
12.24
.
There
is
one
God
,
and
one
Mediator
between
God
and
Man
,
the
Man
Christ
Jesus
,
1
Tim.
2.5
.
3.
God
resolved
that
his
blessed
Son
Jesus
Christ
should
have
the
Honour
in
this
blessed
Transaction
,
to
convey
his
Grace
to
lost
Sinners
,
James
5.22
,
23.
That
all
men
should
honour
the
Son
:
So
the
Apostle
fully
,
Col.
1.16
,
17
,
18
,
19
,
20.
All
things
were
for
him
:
And
that
in
all
things
he
might
have
the
preheminence
,
&c.
For
by
him
,
and
to
him
,
and
for
him
are
all
things
.
This
Honour
the
Father
committed
to
the
Son
,
to
bring
about
this
great
Contrivance
of
bringing
Man
back
again
unto
God
.
4.
God
letting
out
his
Grace
by
Jesus
Christ
,
renders
his
love
more
abundant
and
acceptable
to
poor
Sinners
,
John
3.16
.
God
so
loved
the
World
,
that
he
gave
his
only
begotten
Son
,
&c.
So
loved
it
,
that
he
could
not
give
forth
a
greater
manifestation
of
his
love
.
Now
the
Father
purposed
to
render
his
love
to
sinners
,
by
the
gift
of
his
Son
,
most
full
and
glorious
;
and
therefore
gave
him
out
of
his
Bosom
,
and
all
the
Riches
of
his
Love
and
Grace
by
him
.
5.
This
way
of
the
Father's
Dispensation
of
Grace
by
his
Son
Jesus
Christ
,
hath
rendered
the
Grace
of
God
most
sure
and
unchangeable
to
his
own
.
The
Covenant
of
Grace
being
now
established
between
the
Father
and
Jesus
Christ
;
Jesus
Christ
being
the
Undertaker
in
it
for
all
the
Father
gave
him
,
it
is
certainly
founded
upon
a
sure
Bottom
:
This
was
the
Fathers
Promise
,
Isa.
42.6
.
—
I
will
give
him
for
a
Covenant
to
the
People
.
Jesus
Christ
,
as
a
common
person
,
did
represent
all
the
Elect
in
the
Covenant
,
as
the
first
Adam
in
the
first
Covenant
did
represent
all
his
;
and
Jesus
Christ
did
undertake
to
bring
them
to
God
,
to
bring
them
into
the
Covenant
,
and
so
to
estate
them
in
all
the
grace
,
and
Mercy
,
and
Blessing
of
it
;
Therefore
the
Mercies
of
the
Covenant
are
stiled
,
The
sure
mercies
of
David
,
Isa
,
55.3
.
As
a
Type
of
Jesus
Christ
,
coming
of
the
Seed
of
David
,
wherein
is
set
forth
the
excellency
of
the
New
Covenant
,
the
whole
Transaction
of
it
entrusted
in
the
hands
of
Jesus
Christ
,
and
therefore
not
one
drop
of
the
Mercy
of
it
,
can
ever
fail
those
that
are
taken
into
it
.
6.
By
the
giving
forth
of
Jesus
Christ
,
the
whole
of
Gospel-Salvation
is
rendered
more
glorious
:
The
Wisdom
,
Justice
,
Holiness
of
God
,
as
well
as
Mercy
and
Love
,
do
shine
forth
in
Jesus
Christ
:
And
therefore
the
Gospel-Mystery
is
styled
,
The
manifold
Wisdom
of
God
,
Ephes.
3.10
.
Every
Attribute
of
God
is
glorified
in
the
giving
out
of
Jesus
Christ
.
7.
Yea
,
had
not
God
taken
this
way
of
making
out
himself
by
Jesus
Christ
,
the
world
had
dwelt
in
gross
darkness
of
him
;
therefore
Jesus
Christ
is
styled
,
The
Image
of
the
Invisible
God
,
Col.
1.15
.
The
express
Image
of
the
Father
;
The
brightness
of
his
glory
,
Heb.
1.
And
in
2
Cor.
2.6
.
The
light
of
the
knowledge
of
the
Glory
of
God
,
is
said
,
to
shine
in
the
face
of
Jesus
Christ
.
The
Creation
is
but
a
dark
shadow
of
the
glory
of
God
,
as
to
what
is
revealed
of
God
in
the
manifestation
of
Jesus
Christ
.
There
are
the
Footsteps
of
God
in
the
Creatures
,
but
his
Character
and
Image
in
his
Blessed
Son
Jesus
Christ
.
8.
There
could
not
have
been
access
to
God
,
but
by
Jesus
Christ
;
for
through
him
we
both
have
access
by
one
Spirit
unto
the
Father
,
Eph.
1.18
.
How
could
polluted
Dust
draw
nigh
to
the
absolute
Majesty
and
Glory
of
God
,
had
not
he
let
forth
himself
in
Jesus
Christ
,
as
in
our
own
Nature
,
and
so
makes
way
for
a
poor
sinner
to
come
before
him
.
9.
Had
God
let
forth
Mercy
to
Sinners
,
and
not
given
out
his
Son
Jesus
Christ
,
his
justice
must
have
been
violated
,
which
is
the
main
of
all
.
The
word
of
the
Lord
was
absolute
;
In
the
day
that
thou
eatest
thereof
thou
shalt
dye
,
Gen.
2.17
.
which
was
meant
of
the
Eternal
Death
of
the
Soul
,
in
its
separation
from
the
life
of
God
;
as
is
clear
in
Rom.
5.
last
.
where
grace
unto
eternal
life
by
Jesus
Christ
,
is
put
in
opposition
to
that
death
which
was
by
sin
,
which
must
therefore
needs
be
meant
of
Eternal
Death
.
So
Rom.
6.
ver.
last
.
Now
this
Death
must
be
executed
upon
all
the
Posterity
of
Adam
,
or
else
God
must
take
some
other
way
to
satisfie
his
Justice
,
he
will
save
the
Sinner
,
which
was
upon
his
own
Son
Jesus
Christ
;
as
will
further
be
evidenced
in
the
following
Discourse
.
10.
The
blessed
God
took
this
way
of
letting
out
himself
,
his
Grace
,
by
Jesus
Christ
,
that
thereby
Saints
might
have
Vnion
with
him
,
which
was
a
holy
Design
of
the
Father
in
saving
them
;
—
That
they
may
be
one
in
us
,
John
17.21
.
The
deepest
and
most
unconceivable
Mystery
in
our
Salvation
:
Now
Jesus
Christ
,
as
the
Eternal
Son
of
God
,
taking
upon
him
our
natures
,
we
became
capable
of
being
united
to
him
,
through
the
Spirit
,
and
made
one
with
the
humane
nature
of
Christ
,
whereby
we
are
also
united
to
the
God-head
,
and
so
become
one
with
the
Father
and
the
Son
,
which
is
the
top
of
the
Saints
perfection
.
Vse
1.
Now
what
hath
been
said
,
as
to
the
grounds
and
reasons
of
God
,
in
giving
out
his
eternal
Son
,
and
letting
forth
all
grace
by
him
,
may
serve
to
acquaint
us
with
this
rich
and
glorious
Mystery
,
as
it
is
styled
,
Col.
1.27
.
Namely
,
God
reconciling
the
world
by
Jesus
Christ
,
letting
forth
the
knowledge
of
himself
,
glorifying
all
his
Attributes
,
making
such
discoveries
of
his
Glory
,
providing
such
a
way
of
Mediation
,
such
a
glorious
Mediator
,
laying
the
blessed
project
of
a
sinners
glorious
Salvation
so
sure
,
rendring
his
love
so
acceptable
and
glorious
,
making
way
for
free
access
unto
himself
,
and
how
we
might
become
one
with
him
:
Oh!
the
depths
of
the
Wisdom
and
Love
of
God
;
which
of
them
may
we
admire
most
?
Well
may
Angels
pry
into
this
Holy
Mystery
,
well
may
it
be
the
astonishment
of
Heaven
and
Earth
,
of
the
whole
Creation
:
How
much
more
of
a
sinner
,
for
whose
sake
it
was
thus
ordered
!
Oh
,
that
we
might
fall
upon
our
faces
,
and
adore
the
Wisdom
and
Grace
of
God
,
in
such
a
contrivance
as
this
,
Oh
,
unmeasurable
Goodness
!
unfathomed
Wisdom
!
Eternity
is
but
enough
to
admire
it
!
To
behold
God
in
Christ
,
will
be
the
vision
which
the
souls
of
blessed
Saints
will
be
wrapt
up
into
,
to
all
Eternity
.
2.
Oh!
therefore
what
infinite
Mercy
is
it
to
be
brought
forth
in
the
New-Testament-times
,
when
the
Mystery
hid
in
God
,
hid
from
ages
,
kept
secret
since
the
world
began
,
1
Cor.
16.25
.
is
brought
to
light
,
and
sparkling
upon
the
darkness
of
the
world
;
when
the
glory
of
God
is
risen
upon
the
World
:
Now
if
this
Gospel
be
hid
,
't
is
hid
to
them
that
are
lost
,
2
Cor.
4.3
.
Wo
unto
them
that
close
their
eyes
,
when
the
light
shines
round
about
them
;
Oh
,
you
that
yet
sit
in
darkness
,
and
the
shadow
of
death
,
Arise
,
Awake
,
look
up
,
that
Gospel-light
may
shine
into
you
;
Oh
cry
,
and
wait
that
your
eyes
may
be
opened
to
behold
God
coming
forth
,
in
the
Revelation
of
Jesus
Christ
in
the
glorious
Gospel
,
wait
for
the
Spirit
,
and
that
the
Gospel
in
the
preaching
of
it
may
become
the
ministration
of
the
Spirit
,
2
Cor.
3.8
.
Oh
guilty
world
,
that
so
slight
the
Knowledge
of
Jesus
Christ
,
and
contemn
the
Ministration
of
it
;
wo
unto
them
.
3.
If
God
doth
let
forth
no
Grace
and
Mercy
,
but
by
Jesus
Christ
,
it
may
serve
to
unbottom
poor
souls
from
a
general
carnal
hope
of
Mercy
,
not
being
acquainted
with
the
way
of
Grace
by
Jesus
Christ
,
nor
coming
as
lost
sinners
in
themselves
to
be
found
in
Christ
,
and
justified
by
Jesus
Christ
;
this
they
utterly
neglect
,
having
an
empty
notion
of
Christ's
dying
,
but
know
not
for
what
;
and
upon
what
grounds
and
how
a
sinner
gets
to
God
by
him
;
Oh!
let
this
reprove
you
for
this
gross
and
damnable
neglect
,
and
convince
you
that
all
your
pretended
hopes
of
Mercy
will
vanish
,
unless
you
learn
the
Knowledge
of
Jesus
Christ
.
4.
And
therefore
,
If
no
way
to
the
Father
,
no
Interest
in
Mercy
,
no
access
to
God
?
but
by
Jesus
Christ
,
let
it
serve
to
teach
poor
ignorant
sinners
,
yea
all
of
us
,
how
to
get
to
God
,
to
Mercy
,
into
his
Covenant
;
Oh!
No
way
but
by
Jesus
Christ
;
Oh!
I
can
never
come
to
the
presence
of
God's
Majesty
,
but
by
Jesus
Christ
,
who
is
appointed
Mediator
to
bring
a
poor
sinner
to
himself
,
to
make
way
for
him
into
the
presence
of
God
,
to
conveigh
Mercy
and
Grace
to
a
poor
sinner
;
Oh
,
say
,
that
I
could
acquaint
my self
with
Jesus
Christ
,
take
hold
of
his
skirts
,
and
he
will
bring
me
into
the
favour
,
love
,
covenant
,
vision
,
union
of
God
;
this
is
the
way
for
a
sinner
to
come
unto
him
,
John
14.6
.
5.
Let
it
call
upon
Saints
that
know
Jesus
Christ
in
the
Spirit
,
that
they
do
not
grow
strangers
to
him
,
that
they
neglect
not
Jesus
Christ
:
Oh!
Neglect
him
not
in
his
blessed
Mediation
,
Grace
,
Love
,
Fellowship
,
Appearance
,
Ordinances
:
'T
is
a
grievous
thing
,
and
very
apt
are
Saints
to
it
,
to
neglect
Jesus
Christ
;
Oh!
still
know
and
consider
,
that
as
your
access
to
God
was
by
him
at
first
,
so
it
is
still
;
His
Mediation
for
you
,
his
love
and
grace
,
and
fellowship
,
is
as
good
as
ever
,
as
precious
as
it
ever
was
;
therefore
have
high
and
precious
thoughts
of
him
,
of
your
blessed
access
to
God
by
Jesus
Christ
.
The
next
thing
that
I
come
to
open
is
,
how
Jesus
Christ
wrought
forth
Salvation
and
Justification
for
a
Sinner
,
so
that
the
free
grace
of
God
might
by
him
be
freely
let
out
upon
a
sinner
,
namely
,
the
work
of
his
Redemption
,
[
through
the
Redemption
that
is
in
Jesus
Christ
,
]
verse
24.
I
shall
not
insist
upon
the
many
difficulties
that
the
wisdom
of
the
flesh
hath
started
about
the
word
or
work
of
our
Redemption
,
but
endeavour
,
as
I
have
promised
,
to
give
it
out
in
a
plain
,
Scriptural
,
practical
manner
,
for
the
use
of
poor
sinners
.
Redemption
signifies
a
deliverance
from
Captivity
,
by
a
price
or
ransom
laid
down
.
Man
had
sinn'd
himself
into
captivity
,
and
a
just
condemnation
;
God
from
his
own
free
Mercy
,
was
willing
he
should
be
set
at
Liberty
,
but
this
should
not
be
done
but
by
a
price
or
ransom
being
paid
to
God
,
which
was
the
intervening
death
of
Jesus
Christ
,
who
being
the
eternal
Son
of
God
,
came
down
from
Heaven
,
took
upon
him
the
nature
of
man
,
was
willing
to
stand
in
the
room
of
sinners
,
bearing
their
sins
,
in
the
undergoing
the
punishment
for
them
,
whereby
God
laid
upon
Jesus
Christ
the
Iniquities
of
all
that
shall
be
saved
,
Isa.
53.6
.
proceeded
against
him
as
if
he
had
been
the
sinner
,
in
a
way
of
Justice
,
executed
his
wrath
upon
him
;
Thus
he
is
said
to
dye
for
the
sins
of
his
own
,
2
Cor.
5.15
.
Heb.
9.15
.
and
to
give
himself
for
us
,
and
to
give
his
life
a
ransom
for
many
,
which
death
of
Jesus
Christ
is
styled
an
expiatory
Sacrifice
,
an
attonement
and
Propitiation
,
all
which
,
do
imply
,
that
by
the
death
of
Jesus
Christ
satisfaction
was
made
to
the
infinite
Justice
of
God
,
as
if
the
sinners
that
are
saved
by
it
,
had
suffered
the
utmost
of
Divine
Justice
in
their
own
persons
;
Thus
much
may
serve
briefly
,
to
open
the
nature
of
Christ's
Redemption
.
The
Doctrine
I
shall
lay
down
from
the
words
will
be
this
.
Doct.
To
the
Salvation
and
Justification
of
a
sinner
,
(
in
order
to
God's
letting
out
his
free
grace
upon
him
)
there
was
required
the
death
of
Jesus
Christ
,
as
a
price
laid
down
to
the
justice
of
God
for
his
Redemption
.
I
might
urge
many
more
Texts
besides
what
have
been
named
,
As
1
Pet.
1.18
,
19.
—
Redeemed
not
with
silver
and
gold
,
&c.
but
with
the
precious
blood
of
Jesus
Christ
,
Eph.
1.7
.
Col.
1.14
.
In
whom
we
have
redemption
through
his
blood
,
even
the
forgiveness
of
our
sins
:
This
was
it
which
was
typified
by
all
the
Sacrifices
in
the
Old-Testament-Dispensation
,
as
in
the
Epistle
to
the
Hebrews
at
large
;
especially
in
the
9th
.
Chapter
,
vers.
12
,
13
,
14
,
22.
—
And
almost
all
things
are
by
the
Law
purged
with
blood
,
and
without
shedding
of
blood
is
no
remission
.
From
hence
the
Reasons
of
Divine
Wisdom
,
thus
proceeding
,
so
far
as
revealed
in
the
Word
,
will
be
clear
.
Reason
1.
That
the
Justice
of
God
might
be
glorified
in
the
Salvation
of
sinners
,
as
well
as
Mercy
.
Now
there
being
attonement
made
to
Justice
by
the
death
of
Jesus
Christ
,
the
Righteousness
of
God
hath
a
share
in
the
glory
of
mans
Salvation
,
with
the
Grace
and
Mercy
of
God
.
2.
The
Purity
and
Holiness
of
God's
justice
did
require
it
,
which
being
violated
by
the
sin
of
Man
,
it
was
most
equal
that
satisfaction
be
made
,
which
no
meer
creature
was
able
to
do
;
and
therefore
the
eternal
Son
of
God
,
blessed
for
ever
,
was
appointed
of
the
Father
to
it
:
Therefore
't
is
said
verse
25.
of
this
third
of
the
Romans
.
—
That
he
might
be
just
,
and
the
justifier
of
them
that
believe
in
Jesus
;
given
as
a
reason
of
God's
setting
forth
his
Son
to
be
a
propitiation
.
3.
The
express
word
of
the
Lord
did
require
it
,
who
pronounced
to
all
mankind
in
Adam
,
that
the
transgressor
should
surely
die
,
Gen.
2.17
.
Therefore
upon
his
transgression
,
the
sinner
must
either
die
in
his
own
person
,
or
another
in
his
stead
,
which
God
in
his
infinite
wisdom
might
order
as
he
pleas'd
;
Now
God
being
willing
to
glorifie
his
mercy
,
chose
to
lay
this
punishment
on
his
own
Son
Jesus
Christ
,
and
not
on
the
condemned
Sinner
,
which
Jesus
Christ
also
voluntarily
undertaking
,
the
word
of
the
Lord
was
fully
made
good
,
and
Jesus
Christ
dying
for
the
sinner
,
(
being
made
a
curse
for
him
)
't
was
all
one
as
if
the
sinner
himself
had
died
.
4.
God
gave
out
a
holy
and
righteous
Law
,
written
in
the
heart
of
Adam
;
which
Law
was
just
,
and
holy
,
and
good
,
Rom.
7.
Now
this
Law
being
broken
,
God
would
not
dispence
with
it
,
in
shewing
mercy
to
the
sinner
,
unless
his
Law
was
satisfied
,
which
Jesus
Christ
undertook
,
Rom.
8.3
.
For
what
the
Law
could
not
do
,
in
that
it
was
weak
through
the
flesh
,
God
sending
his
own
Son
in
the
likeness
of
sinful
flesh
,
and
for
sin
condemned
sin
in
the
flesh
,
that
the
righteousness
of
the
Law
might
be
fulfill'd
in
us
,
&c.
Gal.
4.4
.
But
when
the
fulness
of
time
was
come
,
God
sent
forth
his
Son
made
of
a
woman
,
made
under
the
law
,
to
redeem
them
that
were
under
the
Law
,
&c.
So
that
the
Law
was
fulfilled
by
Jesus
Christ
,
as
if
the
sinner
had
kept
it
fully
in
his
own
person
,
by
Christ's
becoming
obedient
to
the
death
of
the
Cross
,
and
so
suffering
the
punishment
of
the
Law
,
(
still
in
the
stead
and
name
of
the
sinner
)
and
by
his
keeping
the
Law
,
in
the
pure
original
righteousness
of
his
nature
,
2
Cor.
5.21
.
and
Heb.
7.26
,
27.
and
by
his
actual
obedience
to
it
,
in
the
perfect
observing
of
it
,
Rom.
5.19
.
For
as
by
one
mans
disobedience
many
were
made
sinners
,
so
by
the
obedience
of
one
many
were
made
righteous
:
Namely
,
by
the
obedience
of
Jesus
Christ
,
which
he
gave
unto
the
Law
:
Now
all
sinners
being
condemned
by
the
Law
,
the
Law
could
not
remit
them
,
till
it
was
satisfied
,
it
call'd
for
punishment
,
and
full
obedience
,
which
Jesus
Christ
gave
unto
it
.
5.
God
could
not
so
freely
(
to
speak
after
the
manner
of
men
)
let
out
grace
and
mercy
,
unless
such
satisfaction
had
been
given
by
Jesus
Christ
:
Now
it
can
come
easily
,
delightfully
,
chearfully
from
the
righteous
and
gracious
God
,
seeing
his
justice
will
not
plead
against
it
,
but
for
it
,
being
blessedly
satisfied
,
and
Jesus
Christ
by
his
death
did
fully
merit
it
and
deserve
it
at
the
hands
of
God
,
and
laid
down
as
much
as
God
in
infinite
justice
would
require
,
therefore
't
is
now
as
well
justice
as
mercy
,
for
God
to
remit
a
Sinner
that
comes
to
God
by
Jesus
Christ
.
1
John
1.7
.
God
is
just
to
forgive
us
our
sins
.
Now
,
hereupon
,
God
having
ordained
and
accepted
of
such
a
way
of
attonement
,
his
justice
glorified
and
satisfied
,
his
word
(
that
the
sinner
should
die
)
made
good
,
his
Law
to
the
utmost
satisfied
;
what
remains
,
but
that
the
blessed
God
can
remit
the
bondage
,
guilt
,
condemnation
of
the
sinner
,
having
thus
accepted
of
satisfaction
?
what
remains
,
but
that
he
should
pronounce
,
as
he
doth
,
Job
33.24
.
Deliver
him
,
for
I
have
found
a
Ransom
;
God
can
now
pardon
the
sinner
that
comes
believingly
by
Jesus
Christ
to
him
for
it
,
without
any
regret
,
his
justice
shall
be
glorified
by
it
,
as
well
as
his
mercy
;
God
hath
charg'd
all
upon
another
,
and
accepted
of
full
payment
,
call'd
himself
to
witness
of
it
,
and
will
never
repent
of
it
.
Object
.
If
any
should
Object
,
Wherein
is
free-grace
glorified
,
if
God
hath
received
full
satisfaction
to
his
justice
?
Answ.
I
answer
,
1.
'T
was
infinite
free
grace
for
God
,
to
give
out
his
blessed
Son
Jesus
Christ
,
when
there
was
no
obligation
upon
him
;
he
gave
him
,
and
sent
him
freely
,
John
3.16
.
from
his
own
free
love
;
therefore
there
's
infinite
of
free
grace
in
Man's
salvation
.
2.
'T
was
infinite
grace
towards
the
sinner
,
to
accept
of
satisfaction
by
a
surety
,
Heb.
5.
and
not
on
the
sinner
,
the
party
offending
,
himself
;
what
abundant
grace
and
love
,
to
lay
the
sins
and
guilt
upon
another
,
especially
the
only
Son
of
his
bosom
,
who
was
without
all
sin
,
2
Cor.
2.21
.
and
not
to
condemn
the
poor
helpless
sinner
for
ever
.
3.
'T
was
infinite
free
grace
,
for
God
himself
to
contrive
the
way
of
such
a
Redemption
:
Had
it
been
left
to
sinful
man
to
have
found
out
a
way
,
how
justice
might
be
satisfied
,
he
could
never
have
done
it
:
It
could
never
have
entred
into
the
heart
of
Man
or
Angels
,
to
have
offered
to
God
a
satisfactory
way
for
the
making
up
of
his
wronged
justice
,
but
he
must
have
perished
for
ever
.
4.
The
Father
was
at
Liberty
to
impute
this
Redemption
of
Christ
to
whom
he
would
,
to
this
sinner
,
and
not
to
another
,
Rom.
9.
He
will
have
mercy
on
whom
he
will
have
mercy
,
&c.
So
that
't
is
indeed
a
debt
to
Christ
;
but
all
of
free
mercy
and
grace
,
to
any
sinner
that
is
saved
.
Vse
1.
If
then
Salvation
and
remission
of
sins
came
in
this
way
,
by
the
death
and
blood
of
Jesus
Christ
,
then
it
may
discover
to
us
the
infinite
hatred
that
God
bears
to
sin
,
that
,
to
make
expiation
and
attonement
to
his
justice
,
there
could
no
sacrifice
be
found
but
the
death
of
his
eternal
Son
Jesus
Christ
;
Oh!
that
ever
a
sinner
should
delight
in
that
,
which
the
holy
God
so
much
hates
and
abhors
?
2.
Let
it
be
for
convincement
to
poor
sinners
of
the
infinite
necessity
of
this
way
of
Redemption
by
Jesus
Christ
,
in
laying
down
his
life
to
satisfie
the
justice
of
God
,
and
of
getting
their
part
in
it
;
you
have
heard
the
case
of
a
Sinner
,
condemn'd
by
the
Law
,
liable
to
eternal
death
,
subject
to
the
rigour
of
divine
Justice
,
no
way
able
or
in
a
capacity
to
make
satisfaction
to
God
,
mercy
as
it
were
bound
up
by
justice
;
Oh!
therefore
what
necessity
of
a
Mediator
,
of
a
Redeemer
,
to
work
forth
deliverance
;
to
lay
down
a
Ransom
for
sinners
,
dye
and
undergo
the
curse
and
wrath
of
the
great
and
dreadful
God
,
fulfill
the
Law
,
make
satisfaction
to
the
wronged
justice
of
God
to
the
utmost
;
this
Jesus
Christ
hath
done
for
miserable
sinners
that
will
come
unto
him
.
Now
the
most
of
poor
souls
,
have
but
a
Notion
of
Christ's
dying
,
but
know
not
what
is
meant
by
Christ
dying
for
me
,
though
sometimes
in
their
Mouths
;
Oh!
sinner
for
Christ
to
die
for
thee
,
(
if
thou
gettest
a
part
in
his
Death
)
is
to
undergo
the
punishment
,
and
curse
,
and
death
,
that
thy
soul
was
liable
to
,
which
otherwise
must
have
come
upon
thee
to
the
utmost
;
it
was
to
be
made
sin
and
a
curse
,
for
thee
,
to
bear
thy
Sins
,
and
stand
in
them
;
Oh!
that
thou
couldst
really
be
convinc'd
of
the
necessity
of
this
Redemption
,
that
thou
couldst
never
come
to
God
without
it
,
and
therefore
to
get
thy
poor
soul
stated
in
it
!
3.
If
satisfaction
to
Gods
justice
can
only
be
by
the
blood
of
Jesus
Christ
,
then
let
me
again
press
you
,
that
you
take
heed
of
performing
your
duties
and
repentings
as
if
thereby
you
did
satisfie
and
pacifie
God
for
the
sin
of
your
souls
.
This
is
the
most
dangerous
snare
upon
poor
souls
,
that
though
they
have
sinned
,
yet
they
hope
God
will
be
pacified
with
some
praying
,
and
sorrowing
,
and
amendment
:
Now
,
though
this
shall
be
in
a
spiritual
manner
,
upon
every
pardoned
sinner
,
and
't
is
a
capacity
God
puts
the
sinner
into
,
when
he
applies
the
death
of
his
Son
,
and
so
gives
out
mercy
and
pardon
,
yet
you
must
most
carefully
take
heed
,
that
you
offer
not
up
such
duties
,
as
if
they
did
make
God
amends
,
and
pacifie
him
for
your
sins
;
but
look
above
and
beyond
them
,
as
if
they
were
not
,
and
so
to
cast
your
eye
to
the
great
sacrifice
of
the
blood
of
Jesus
Christ
,
which
Alone
makes
attonement
to
God
,
and
makes
way
for
a
poor
sinner
to
come
to
him
.
4.
That
as
sinners
would
learn
the
blessed
Mystery
of
this
Redemption
,
and
the
necessity
of
it
,
and
how
it
makes
attonement
,
merits
mercy
and
pardon
,
procures
peace
and
reconciliation
with
God
,
so
they
would
come
and
accept
of
it
,
and
fall
down
before
the
righteous
God
,
and
plead
it
to
him
;
Thou
hast
heard
the
way
of
God's
letting
out
mercy
to
sinners
,
and
no
mercy
but
in
that
way
,
but
by
justice
being
satisfied
by
the
death
and
blood
of
Jesus
Christ
,
whereby
he
becomes
the
Saviour
of
sinners
;
now
this
blood
is
offered
up
to
God
,
the
price
is
paid
and
accepted
with
God
,
and
in
the
Gospel
of
God
't
is
revealed
and
preach't
to
the
guilty
world
,
and
't
is
freely
offered
to
any
poor
sinner
,
that
will
come
and
accept
of
it
,
and
make
claim
to
it
,
and
plead
for
mercy
and
forgiveness
upon
the
account
of
it
,
and
will
come
to
the
terms
of
it
,
which
is
to
be
accepted
and
pardoned
alone
by
vertue
of
it
,
to
be
washed
and
sanctified
,
and
actually
deliver'd
,
not
only
from
the
guilt
and
condemnation
of
sin
,
but
the
power
,
and
reign
,
and
pollution
of
it
.
Oh
Sinner
!
be
awakened
and
stirred
up
by
the
word
of
the
Lord
,
to
get
actual
deliverance
from
the
guilt
,
bondage
,
reign
,
service
,
of
thy
sin
;
go
and
cry
to
God
,
offer
him
up
the
blood
of
his
own
eternal
Son
,
tell
him
thou
seest
he
may
let
out
justice
upon
thee
to
destroy
thee
,
and
damn
thee
for
ever
;
of
thy self
thou
hast
no
plea
against
it
:
But
ask
the
blessed
God
,
if
it
may
not
be
more
glory
to
him
,
and
his
grace
and
mercy
glorified
by
it
,
if
he
will
accept
of
satisfaction
by
his
own
Son
Jesus
Christ
?
plead
to
him
,
that
thou
hearest
he
died
in
the
room
of
guilty
,
condemned
sinnners
,
such
as
thou
art
,
ungodly
,
Rom.
5.6
.
yea
,
tell
him
,
with
an
humble
adoration
of
his
mercy
and
love
in
it
,
that
thou
hearest
in
his
blessed
Gospel
,
that
't
is
offered
to
any
sinner
that
will
come
and
accept
it
,
and
that
't
is
proclamed
from
Heaven
,
and
there
's
satisfaction
made
by
the
blood
of
a
Jesus
for
the
greatest
Sinner
,
such
as
thou
art
;
Oh!
cry
unto
him
,
that
therefore
thou
comest
and
begg'st
to
be
heard
in
thy
plea
,
and
that
it
may
be
entred
in
Heaven
,
that
thou
comest
for
all
the
ends
of
his
death
,
thou
art
weary
of
the
service
of
thy
lusts
,
and
the
pollution
of
thy
nature
,
and
therefore
thou
wouldst
have
thy
nature
cleansed
,
thy
conscience
purged
,
all
which
thou
findest
the
blood
of
Jesus
Christ
is
able
to
do
;
yea
,
tell
him
,
and
plead
it
with
some
humble
boldness
,
that
thou
art
acquainted
that
Jesus
Christ
prays
in
Heaven
,
for
such
sinners
that
come
and
plead
his
blood
to
thee
,
and
that
he
is
heard
in
what
he
prays
,
and
that
therefore
forgiveness
must
be
had
;
yea
,
say
,
thou
wilt
hold
on
thy
plea
,
thou
hast
no
other
,
and
art
resolved
against
any
other
:
If
thou
shalt
to
Hell
pleading
the
blood
of
a
Saviour
,
be
it
so
,
but
I
am
resolved
to
plead
it
to
the
utmost
;
yea
,
tell
him
,
and
cry
to
him
,
that
it
cannot
repent
him
,
that
he
hath
ordained
the
sacrifice
of
the
blood
of
his
own
Son
,
and
therefore
why
should'st
thou
be
rejected
?
Yea
,
Come
to
this
Issue
,
through
the
Spirit
of
Faith
upon
thee
,
that
if
it
can
be
,
that
a
Sinner
crying
out
for
pardon
,
upon
the
account
of
the
death
and
blood
of
Jesus
Christ
,
and
for
sanctification
,
may
go
to
Hell
,
then
thou
wilt
willingly
lay
thy
hand
upon
thy
mouth
,
and
open
it
no
more
,
but
sink
under
Divine
Vengeance
to
Eternity
.
Oh!
That
every
poor
sinner
might
go
home
with
this
plea
in
his
heart
,
written
there
by
the
Holy
Ghost
;
and
peirce
Heaven
with
his
or
her
crys
and
groans
,
and
put
the
blood
of
Jesus
Christ
before
him
,
and
plead
for
mercy
and
holiness
,
to
be
pardoned
and
sanctified
,
till
God
say
,
Go
in
peace
,
thou
art
pardoned
,
redeemed
,
and
blessed
for
ever
.
Yet
a
little
to
excite
a
poor
drowsie
sinner
to
this
eternal
Concernment
.
1.
Consider
,
thou
art
under
the
guilt
of
thousands
of
Sins
,
one
whereof
is
enough
to
sink
thee
to
Hell
:
Guilt
,
if
continued
,
is
Hell
begun
,
and
wants
nothing
but
the
execution
of
Vengeance
upon
thee
.
Oh
what
should
a
guilty
sinner
do
,
but
close
with
a
Saviour
,
and
get
an
interest
in
Redemption
from
it
!
2.
Especially
considering
that
all
the
Duties
and
Obedience
thou
hast
performed
towards
God
,
or
ever
shall
,
have
not
made
(
nor
ever
will
)
the
least
payment
to
God
for
thy
sins
,
thou
art
as
much
in
debt
to
God
as
ever
thou
wast
,
as
much
behind
with
him
:
All
the
Items
for
the
sin
of
thy
Nature
,
thy
thoughts
,
words
,
and
actual
Wickedness
,
and
thy
sinful
neglects
,
stand
uncancelled
,
all
ready
to
be
charged
upon
thee
,
and
nought
will
be
accepted
for
payment
but
the
Death
of
Jesus
Christ
,
the
only
price
that
God
will
hearken
to
:
Nothing
will
cancel
the
Book
where
all
thy
sins
are
recorded
:
Nothing
will
blot
out
the
Hand-writing
that
is
against
thee
,
but
the
Blood
of
Jesus
Christ
,
Col.
2.13
,

3.
God
is
resolved
never
to
forgive
you
the
Debt
,
till
you
have
put
in
this
Plea
,
and
it
be
recorded
in
Heaven
,
and
you
have
it
in
a
Gospel-way
:
No
forgiveness
of
Sins
,
but
by
Redemption
pleaded
,
claimed
,
possessed
,
and
sealed
by
the
Holy
Spirit
,
Ephes.

Thou
art
yet
under
the
Bondage
and
Reign
of
thy
sin
,
and
therefore
under
condemnation
;
the
Law
is
gone
out
against
thee
,
thy
Sentence
pronounced
;
Cursed
is
every
one
that
transgresseth
,
&c.
saith
the
Law
;
and
thou
art
in
bondage
yet
,
and
hast
not
procured
actual
deliverance
from
it
.
If
a
Prisoner
be
condemned
,
and
lye
in
Fetters
in
a
Dungeon
,
and
hears
of
a
Ransom
paid
for
him
,
what
's
this
to
him
,
till
he
have
Liberty
.
So
for
a
Sinner
to
be
in
the
Fetters
of
his
Lusts
,
held
fast
by
them
,
a
Bond-man
to
the
Devil
,
and
hear
of
a
Christ
laying
down
a
Ransom
,
what
is
this
to
him
?
unless
he
sue
it
out
,
and
get
actual
deliverance
and
liberty
,
the
liberty
of
the
Sons
and
Daughters
of
God
,
and
have
a
Spirit
of
Adoption
,
to

Consider
,
as
thou
standest
in
thy
filth

uncleanness
of
thy
Sins
,
thou
art
unfit
for
God
,
either
to
please
him

thou
doest

or
to
be
with
him
in

hereafter
;
thy
person

are
loathsom
to
the
Soul
of
God
;
therefore
get
washed
and
purified
in
the
blood
of
Jesus
Christ
;
Go
on
to
cry
,
and
wait
,
(
and
beg
a
heart
to
do
it
,
and
that
in

till
thou
shalt
feel
Peace
coming

by
thy
constant
Plea

till
thou
shalt
feel
cleansing
vertue

till
thou
shalt
experience
the
power
of
his

destroying
Sin
in

find

thou
hast
fellowship

Now
to
encourage
a
poor
Sinner
to
this
coming
to
God
,
with
the
Plea
of
Christ's
blood
in
his
heart
and
mouth
,
and
to
draw
forth
the
Faith
of
a
poor
humbled
doubting
Soul
.
Consider
the
All-sufficiency
and
worth
of
the
price
of
the
Death
of
Jesus
Christ
,
to
satisfie
the
justice
of
God
,
and
procure
Pardon
and
Sanctification
for
a
poor
Sinner
;
which
may
appear
from
such
like
Scriptures
.
The
Apostle
in
the
7th
.
of
the
Hebrews
,
having
been
opening
the
excellency
of
Christ's
Priesthood
,
which
is
chiefly
conversant
in
this
Work
of
Redemption
,
in
the
offering
up
of
himself
a
Sacrifice
,
concludes
,
ver.
25.
of
that
Chapter
.
Wherefore
he
is
able
to
save
them
to
the
utmost
that
come
to
God
by
him
.
To
the
utmost
,
that
is
,
with
a
perfect
Salvation
,
that
nothing
more
can
be
desired
to
it
.
So
in
the
9th
.
Chap.
ver.
11
,
&c.
The
Apostle
reasoning
from
the
Levitical
Sacrifices
,
to
this
of
the
blood
of
Christ
,
argueth
the
full
perfection
of
it
.
—
By
his
own
blood
he
entred
in
once
into
the
holy
place
,
(
namely
,
into
Heaven
)
having
obtained
eternal
Redemption
for
us
;
and
thence
concludeth
,
ver.
14.
How
much
more
shall
the
blood
of
Christ
purge
the
Conscience
?
&c.
A
much
more
upon
that
,
above
all
the
Sacrifices
that
were
offered
up
to
God
;
which
will
appear
,
1.
Because
of
the
eternal
Godhead
of
Christ's
Person
,
by
which
he
offer'd
up
his
blood
unto
his
Father
,
Heb.
9.14
.
—
Who
through
the
eternal
Spirit
offered
up
himself
without
spot
to
God
.
Which
put
an
infinite
value
and
efficacy
upon
the
offering
of
his
blood
,
inasmuch
as
Jesus
Christ
was
God
as
well
as
Man
;
though
he
could
only
dye
in
his
humane
nature
,
yet
the
efficacy
of
his
Godhead
had
an
influence
upon
the
price
of
his
dying
,
which
put
an
infinite
worth
upon
it
,
and
so
renders
it
full
and
perfect
Redemption
.
2.
The
price
of
the
blood
of
Jesus
Christ
,
did
not
only
give
a
bare
Satisfaction
to
the
justice
of
God
,
but
it
had
an
infinite
Merit
in
it
,
a
redundancy
of
Merit
,
whereby
it
deserved
at
the
hands
of
God
,
that
Sinners
that
are
interessed
in
it
,
should
have
remission
of
Sins
,
grace
,
the
love
of
God
,
and
glory
to
come
,
spiritual
blessings
,
which
the
death
of
Christ
purchased
for
the
elect
;
which
being
also
by
the
free
purpose
and
compact
of
God
,
there
must
necessarily
arise
an
infinite
Merit
in
it
.
3.
The
All-sufficiency
of
the
price
of
Christ's
blood
is
evidenced
by
his
Resurrection
and
Ascension
into
Glory
,
implying
that
he
wrought
forth
full
and
perfect
Redemption
by
his
Death
,
therefore
he
is
said
to
rise
again
for
our
Justification
,
Rom.
4.
last
.
and
to
be
justified
in
the
spirit
,
1
Tim.
3.
last
.
that
is
,
God
by
raising
him
from
the
dead
,
justified
him
in
the
attonement
he
had
made
by
his
Death
,
and
that
he
did
chearfully
accept
of
satisfaction
by
it
.
4.
The
Blood
of
Christ
procures
boldness
of
access
to
God
,
therefore
there
is
an
infinite
worth
in
the
price
of
it
;
Heb.
10.19
.
Having
therefore
,
Brethren
,
Boldness
to
enter
into
the
Holiest
,
by
the
blood
of
Jesus
;
which
boldness
doth
arise
from
the
full
satisfaction
that
is
made
to
Divine
Justice
,
in
as
much
as
God
,
upon
the
Acceptance
of
it
,
hath
nothing
to
charge
upon
the
Sinner
himself
,
no
quarrel
against
him
,
having
charged
his
sins
upon
Christ
,
and
therefore
the
poor
sinner
may
come
with
an
humble
boldness
into
the
Presence
of
God
;
and
this
is
that
which
puts
boldness
into
the
Conscience
of
a
Believer
,
when
he
appears
before
God
.
5.
From
the
Experience
of
it
;
the
foulest
Sinners
that
have
come
unto
it
,
have
been
washed
from
their
sins
by
it
,
as
1
Cor.
6.11
.
Idolaters
,
Adulterers
,
Sodomites
,
Drunkards
,
Revilers
,
have
been
washed
,
and
justified
,
and
sanctified
by
it
.
The
blood
of
Jesus
Christ
his
Son
cleanseth
from
all
sin
,
1
John
1.7
.
6.
It
cleanseth
and
perfects
them
for
ever
,
therefore
called
eternal
Redemption
;
once
for
all
,
and
for
ever
,
Heb.
10.10
,
19.
For
by
one
offering
he
hath
perfected
for
ever
them
that
are
sanctified
;
once
justified
,
and
for
ever
.
Now
from
this
Satisfaction
,
Merit
,
All-sufficiency
of
the
Sacrifice
of
the
blood
of
Jesus
,
to
cleanse
a
sinner
,
to
commend
him
to
God
,
how
safely
may
a
sinner
venture
his
Soul
upon
it
,
(
which
is
the
first
act
of
Faith
?
)
A
poor
sinner
when
under
conviction
,
and
the
terror
of
the
Lord
hath
taken
hold
of
him
,
lies
trembling
before
the
Lord
,
whether
God
will
let
out
Justice
or
Mercy
upon
him
;
he
is
ready
to
give
glory
to
the
justice
of
the
Lord
,
if
he
reject
him
for
ever
.
But
now
if
a
poor
soul
get
a
sight
of
the
blood
of
Christ
,
how
it
deals
with
the
justice
of
God
,
what
full
and
all-sufficient
Satisfaction
it
hath
made
to
God
,
for
the
sins
of
such
as
plead
it
to
him
,
how
God
more
delights
in
it
,
than
in
the
condemning
of
the
sinner
,
what
a
stay
is
this
to
the
wavering
,
doubtful
spirit
of
a
poor
sinner
?
when
he
can
come
to
see
justice
to
have
its
due
,
and
so
God
can
freely
let
out
Remission
to
a
poor
Soul
,
upon
the
very
first
Act
of
a
poor
sinners
closing
with
it
,
though
not
presently
evidenced
in
his
Conscience
;
Oh
,
sinner
,
venture
the
Issue
of
all
upon
this
price
of
the
Blood
of
Jesus
,
thou
may'st
see
thou
hast
the
greatest
reason
in
the
world
to
do
so
,
thou
wilt
never
come
to
have
a
safe
bottom
for
thy
Soul
,
till
thou
comest
thus
to
deal
with
the
justice
of
God
,
as
fully
satisfied
by
the
blood
of
Jesus
Christ
,
thou
wilt
still
be
off
and
on
about
Free-Mercy
,
till
thou
come
to
fix
here
,
and
be
in
some
good
measure
established
in
it
:
Be
daily
in
exercising
thy
Soul
in
such
ventures
and
castings
upon
it
,
and
the
Spirit
will
at
last
witness
Peace
and
Reconciliation
to
thy
Conscience
.
In
a
word
,
Sinners
you
that
have
had
no
stay
to
your
spirits
for
the
forgiveness
of
your
sins
,
but
a
blind
hope
of
Mercy
,
look
up
,
look
up
to
the
justice
of
God
,
and
see
this
way
of
access
to
God
for
you
,
by
the
blood
of
Jesus
:
Oh!
let
not
any
prophane
sinner
trample
it
under
foot
,
cast
it
back
upon
the
blessed
face
of
God
;
say
not
in
thy
heart
,
Let
God
take
the
blood
of
his
Son
to
himself
,
I
'le
not
be
washed
from
my
Sins
,
I
'le
not
be
sanctified
,
I
'le
rest
as
I
am
!
Desperate
Sinner
,
of
how
much
sorer
punishment
shalt
thou
be
thought
worthy
,
than
any
Sinner
under
Heaven
,
who
rejectest
the
only
worthy
price
of
a
Sinners
Salvation
?
Know
,
the
great
God
will
let
out
all
his
justice
upon
thee
to
the
utmost
,
and
Oceans
of
his
Wrath
shall
fall
upon
thee
,
if
thou
thus
abuse
the
blood
of
his
Son
;
a
greater
guilt
than
all
thy
Ungodliness
thou
hast
hitherto
been
wallowing
in
from
thy
youth
up
;
Oh!
come
thou
despiser
,
and
cast
thy
soul
under
the
droppings
of
this
blood
,
and
it
shall
cleanse
thee
,
though
thy
soul
were
as
black
as
Hell
,
Zach.
13.1
.
And
thou
poor
formal
out-side
Professor
,
who
never
didst
feel
the
vertue
,
healing
life
and
warmth
of
the
blood
of
Christ
upon
thy
heart
:
Oh
,
rest
not
in
good
thoughts
of
it
only
,
but
come
believingly
to
it
,
as
thou
hast
been
exhorted
:
Say
,
and
that
with
thy
heart
,
Now
,
Lord
,
I
would
know
the
power
and
efficacy
of
this
Redemption
upon
my
poor
soul
:
Wash
me
,
Lord
,
wash
me
;
I
renounce
all
but
the
blood
of
this
Christ
,
as
to
making
way
to
God
for
me
:
Oh!
let
it
pacifie
my
Conscience
,
and
purge
my
Conscience
,
and
I
shall
be
clean
.
If
the
Spirit
of
the
Lord
shall
work
thy
heart
to
come
as
a
guilty
,
helpless
,
unholy
sinner
in
thy self
,
to
this
blood
of
Jesus
,
and
make
thy
approaches
to
God
daily
,
and
argue
for
Grace
and
Remission
upon
it
,
and
purging
thy
Soul
;
these
inestimable
blessings
will
be
the
issue
of
it
,
which
I
will
but
name
to
thee
.
1.
Thou
shalt
certainly
find
forgiveness
of
thy
sins
;
In
whom
we
have
Redemption
through
his
blood
,
the
forgiveness
of
our
sins
,
Ephes.
1.7
.
God
will
remember
them
no
more
against
thee
;
and
thou
shalt
have
peace
with
thy
God
for
ever
.
2.
God
will
let
forth
an
infinite
unchangeable
love
upon
thee
,
Rom.
5.5
.
which
love
he
bore
thee
from
Eternity
,
but
will
now
manifest
it
to
thee
,
and
estate
thee
in
it
for
ever
.
3.
Thou
shalt
have
boldness
of
access
to
God
,
Rom.
5.2
.
even
into
his
intimate
presence
,
to
speak
with
God
face
to
face
,
and
ask
of
God
what
thou
wilt
,
according
to
his
will
,
Heb.
10.
4.
All
the
Promises
of
Mercy
,
Grace
,
and
all
blessings
here
and
for
ever
,
shall
be
thine
;
made
over
,
sealed
in
the
blood
of
Christ
.
5.
Thou
shalt
rejoyce
in
the
hope
of
the
Glory
of
God
,
Rom.
5.2
.
with
all
Saints
,
and
see
thy self
an
heir
of
Heaven
.
6.
Thou
shalt
be
still
a
washing
,
and
purifying
,
and
fating
for
Heaven
,
till
thou
shalt
be
taken
up
unto
God
,
and
live
in
the
Ocean
of
his
Love
to
all
Eternity
.
Now
if
ease
in
thy
sin
and
the
world
can
do
better
for
thee
,
than
this
that
I
have
named
,
then
keep
in
;
but
if
not
,
(
as
most
certain
it
cannot
)
Arise
,
and
come
,
to
this
blessed
Redemption
,
and
get
thy
part
and
portion
in
it
;
and
thou
shalt
say
,
Blessed
be
thy
counsel
and
advice
for
evermore
.
But
now
upon
this
Redemption
of
Jesus
Christ
,
how
is
a
sinner
said
to
be
justified
;
that
is
,
to
be
put
into
an
actual
Possession
,
of
the
Redemption
of
Jesus
Christ
,
through
the
Free-Grace
of
God
?
1.
When
the
compact
was
made
between
God
the
Father
and
Jesus
Christ
,
as
to
the
Salvation
of
those
that
the
Father
gave
to
Jesus
Christ
,
and
Jesus
Christ
undertook
the
fulfilling
of
the
Condition
of
the
Covenant
,
God
did
purpose
in
himself
to
justifie
them
from
Eternity
,
and
look'd
upon
them
as
in
Christ
,
2
Tim.
1.9
.
Ephes.
1.4
.
So
they
were
justified
as
to
the
purpose
of
God
from
all
Eternity
.
2.
When
Jesus
Christ
performed
the
Condition
of
Obedience
in
his
dying
,
and
paid
unto
God
what
he
required
at
his
hands
,
for
the
sinners
redemption
,
then
did
God
,
as
in
the
Court
of
Heaven
,
discharge
the
sinner
,
(
though
not
in
the
Court
of
Conscience
)
and
when
Christ
arose
and
came
to
Heaven
,
the
Father
gave
him
in
an
absolution
of
them
all
,
from
the
guilt
of
sin
,
and
obligation
to
death
;
and
so
at
the
death
of
Christ
all
the
Elect
were
meritoriously
justified
,
inasmuch
as
the
price
was
paid
and
accepted
of
the
Father
,
Rom.
5.10
.
3.
When
according
to
the
purpose
of
God
,
through
the
purchase
of
Jesus
Christ
,
a
Sinner
is
called
by
grace
,
hath
Faith
given
him
,
(
as
purchased
also
for
him
)
to
embrace
Jesus
Christ
in
the
Promise
,
to
receive
him
as
offer'd
in
the
Gospel
,
and
with
him
all
spiritual
blessings
;
then
is
the
Soul
put
into
the
actual
possession
of
what
God
,
in
his
purpose
and
love
,
determined
to
give
him
,
and
Jesus
Christ
by
the
purchase
of
his
blood
gave
him
a
right
to
before
,
and
so
there
is
an
Act
of
God's
pardoning
Mercy
passeth
upon
the
sinnner
,
he
hath
an
actual
discharge
given
in
unto
his
Conscience
,
hath
the
Obedience
of
Jesus
Christ
imputed
to
him
,
and
so
is
look'd
upon
by
God
not
as
a
Sinner
under
guilt
,
but
as
righteous
in
the
Righteousness
of
Christ
,
which
bespeaks
him
justified
,
that
is
,
made
just
and
righteous
before
God
,
by
the
imputation
and
making
over
Christs
Righteousness
to
him
,
as
if
righteous
in
his
own
person
:
Upon
which
Act
of
God
there
is
a
full
Remission
of
sin
,
as
in
the
Text
,
and
the
believer
is
put
into
another
State
,
a
State
of
justification
unto
life
through
Jesus
Christ
,
Rom.
8.1
.
who
before
was
in
a
State
of
Death
and
Condemnation
.
Before
I
speak
of
that
Faith
which
,
through
Grace
,
puts
a
Soul
in
his
pardoned
and
justified
State
,
I
will
briefly
apply
this
to
the
capacity
of
the
weak
.
1.
It
may
inform
and
instruct
you
in
this
great
Mystery
,
that
any
sinner
that
is
saved
must
be
thus
justified
,
made
righteous
by
the
Obedience
of
Jesus
Christ
;
he
must
come
to
see
the
justice
of
God
made
up
,
a
price
paid
unto
God
,
and
this
to
be
actually
made
over
to
him
:
As
we
shall
presently
shew
;
most
of
sinners
,
't
is
to
be
feared
,
do
not
consider
this
,
that
speak
of
mercy
,
and
pretend
they
hope
in
mercy
,
but
are
never
convinc'd
of
the
Righteousness
of
Jesus
Christ
,
and
what
it
is
to
pass
from
a
state
of
guilt
to
a
state
of
righteousness
by
Jesus
Christ
,
from
a
state
of
condemnation
,
to
a
state
of
justification
without
which
,
there
can
be
no
Salvation
.
Oh
be
convinced
,
sinners
,
of
this
great
matter
of
the
necessity
of
the
righteousness
of
Christ
,
his
obedience
in
fulfilling
the
Law
to
be
made
over
to
you
,
to
be
brought
into
a
justified
state
,
or
you
can
never
have
pardon
of
sin
,
and
be
accepted
with
God
;
you
can
never
stand
before
God
,
but
in
the
righteousness
of
Jesus
Christ
.
Say
,
If
I
do
not
get
the
righteousness
of
Christ
made
mine
:
If
I
do
not
get
thus
justified
,
I
must
never
expect
pardon
of
my
sin
,
and
acceptance
of
my
poor
soul
at
the
great
day
of
the
Lord
.
This
is
the
Work
of
the
Spirit
,
to
be
savingly
convinced
of
this
,
John
16.8
.
Oh
look
up
to
the
Father
for
the
Spirit
thus
to
convince
you
,
not
only
of
sin
,
and
the
damnableness
and
sinfulness
thereof
,
but
of
your
infinite
need
to
get
,
not
only
some
general
hope
of
Mercy
and
Pardon
,
but
the
righteousness
of
the
Son
of
God
,
to
bring
you
into
a
state
of
Pardon
,
Reconciliation
,
Peace
with
God
.
2.
It
may
further
clear
unto
you
,
that
your
justification
before
God
is
not
within
you
,
but
without
you
,
wrought
forth
by
Jesus
Christ
,
for
such
as
are
,
or
shall
be
called
by
grace
,
and
imputed
to
them
,
not
inherent
,
or
wrought
in
them
:
'T
is
not
grace
in
you
,
that
doth
or
can
justifie
you
,
though
renewing
grace
shall
be
wrought
in
all
that
are
so
pardoned
and
justified
.
Therefore
,
though
thou
must
be
changed
in
thy self
,
pray
and
be
holy
,
and
obey
God
in
all
things
,
yet
thou
canst
not
be
hereby
justified
,
but
still
thy
justifying
righteousness
is
in
Christ
,
and
not
in
thy self
,
as
the
only
procuring
meritorious
cause
of
Pardon
,
and
Peace
with
God
,
Jeremiah
33.16
.
Isaiah
54.
last
.
3.
The
great
question
therefore
that
should
come
upon
thy
heart
,
is
,
Whether
thou
art
in
a
state
of
condemnation
or
justification
?
If
not
justified
,
thou
art
still
,
as
I
have
shewed
,
under
the
condemnation
of
the
whole
Law
:
Nothing
thou
hast
yet
done
or
shalt
ever
be
able
to
do
,
will
stand
between
Wrath
,
and
Hell
,
and
thy
poor
soul
,
till
thou
comest
to
be
justified
in
the
blood
and
righteousness
of
Jesus
Christ
.
Oh
sinners
!
ponder
of
this
great
thing
that
is
now
laid
before
you
?
Can
you
say
from
a
Testimony
within
you
?
Oh!
I
was
thus
and
thus
once
under
the
reign
,
power
,
guilt
,
condemnation
of
sin
;
but
now
,
now
,
(
blessed
be
rich
and
free
grace
)
I
am
washed
,
justified
,
in
the
Name
of
the
Lord
Jesus
Christ
:
See
that
Word
,
1
Cor.
6.10
,
11.
And
such
were
some
of
you
,
but
ye
are
washed
,
but
ye
are
sanctified
,
but
ye
are
justified
in
the
name
of
our
Lord
Jesus
,
and
by
the
Spirit
of
our
God
.
Or
at
least
,
that
I
may
speak
to
poor
,
weak
,
willing
,
trembling
souls
:
Is
this
it
that
your
souls
are
restless
after
?
Oh
that
I
were
,
that
I
were
,
in
such
a
blessed
state
!
Oh
that
I
could
but
believingly
say
,
the
righteousness
of
Jesus
Christ
were
mine
,
and
that
now
I
am
,
I
am
justified
!
Oh
what
peace
,
and
sweetness
,
and
joy
,
would
fill
my
heart
!
Why
Soul
!
If
this
be
indeed
the
breathing
of
thy
Soul
,
Jesus
Christ
is
thine
,
and
thou
art
justified
and
pardoned
,
and
God
will
at
last
give
in
unto
thee
(
if
thou
continue
to
follow
him
)
the
sense
and
comfort
of
it
in
thy
poor
Soul
:
Only
by
the
way
take
a
Discovery
or
two
of
the
reality
of
thy
Heart
in
this
matter
.
1.
If
thou
Soul
,
from
a
Spiritual
Conviction
,
be
under
a
real
making
out
after
justification
by
Jesus
Christ
,
then
thou
wouldst
also
be
as
really
sanctified
,
be
made
holy
.
'T
was
as
much
in
the
purpose
of
God
to
call
thee
out
of
a
state
of
sin
,
and
to
sanctifie
thee
,
as
to
pardon
and
justifie
thee
,
1
Ep.
John
5.6
.
2.
If
thou
art
brought
into
a
justified
state
,
thy
soul
making
out
after
it
,
thou
art
made
alive
in
the
Spirit
,
Rom.
8.1
.
Thou
art
in
Jesus
Christ
,
and
wouldst
walk
no
more
after
the
flesh
and
the
lusts
thereof
,
but
after
the
Spirit
,
Gal.
5.18
.
If
ye
are
led
by
the
Spirit
,
ye
are
not
under
the
Law
;
namely
,
to
condemn
you
,
but
are
free
from
the
curse
of
it
:
And
verse
23.
Against
such
there
is
no
Law
;
that
is
,
such
as
would
walk
after
the
Spirit
,
be
led
by
the
Spirit
;
and
shew
forth
the
fruit
of
the
Spirit
:
And
this
is
that
which
the
Apostle
intimateth
,
1
Ep.
John
5.10
.
He
that
believeth
on
the
Son
of
God
,
hath
the
Witness
in
himself
,
namely
,
of
the
Spirit
:
So
that
every
justified
person
hath
the
Spirit
of
Christ
(
according
to
the
measure
of
the
grace
of
God
)
dwelling
in
him
,
is
quickened
in
the
Spirit
,
being
once
dead
;
prays
in
the
Spirit
,
mortifies
sin
through
the
Spirit
,
is
taught
by
the
Spirit
,
and
so
in
all
other
saving
and
sanctifying
vertues
of
it
:
If
it
be
not
thus
with
thee
,
thou
,
as
yet
,
hast
no
part
in
this
blessedness
,
but
art
under
condemnation
unto
death
.
And
therefore
,
sinner
,
come
before
God
in
the
sence
of
thy
condemned
estate
,
and
give
up
thy self
to
Jesus
Christ
to
be
washed
,
justified
,
sanctified
;
and
then
blessed
for
ever
.
3.
Let
called
and
sanctified
Believers
labour
to
live
in
the
sense
of
a
pardoned
,
justified
state
,
that
God
is
not
off
and
on
with
them
,
in
the
matter
of
justification
,
though
it
may
be
sometimes
darkned
and
clouded
,
as
to
the
evidence
of
it
.
Oh!
do
you
labour
to
preserve
the
sense
,
and
sweet
and
blessed
peace
of
it
in
your
souls
,
and
give
glory
to
the
riches
of
grace
;
for
,
now
there
is
No
,
No
,
condemnation
to
you
;
you
are
passed
from
Death
to
Life
,
and
the
Blessed
God
imputes
no
sin
unto
you
:
Let
this
be
the
highest
and
strongest
Argument
to
Holiness
,
and
love
to
the
glory
that
possibly
may
be
;
and
if
indeed
you
walk
in
the
comfort
of
it
,
it
will
be
so
unto
you
.
Only
let
me
give
caution
here
to
young
Converts
,
whose
hearts
,
at
the
first
discovery
of
the
free
and
glorious
grace
of
the
Gospel
,
and
of
Jesus
Christ
,
are
wonderfully
taken
and
affected
with
it
,
but
after
a
time
,
are
apt
to
wanton
with
it
,
(
unless
the
first
humiliation
be
the
deeper
)
and
to
wax
sleight
in
Duties
,
and
so
their
Lusts
recover
strength
again
,
and
return
upon
them
;
and
either
they
fall
,
or
are
near
unto
it
,
to
the
fresh
wounding
of
their
Souls
.
This
hath
been
the
condition
of
many
;
therefore
be
well
caution'd
in
it
,
and
walk
with
fear
in
the
midst
of
your
joyous
apprehensions
of
the
sweetness
of
grace
,
and
the
endearing
love
of
the
Lord
Jesus
to
you
.
Having
briefly
shewed
what
the
nature
of
justification
is
,
what
it
is
to
be
in
a
justified
state
before
God
,
I
now
come
to
open
more
particularly
how
a
Soul
comes
to
be
partaker
of
this
justification
,
through
the
Redemption
of
Jesus
Christ
;
namely
Through
Eaith
in
his
blood
,
ver.
25.
of
this
3d.
of
Rom.
Observ
.
As
God
,
through
Free-grace
,
hath
set
forth
Jesus
Christ
to
work
forth
Redemption
for
sinners
;
so
there
must
be
a
special
believing
on
,
and
applying
the
blood
of
Jesus
Christ
,
for
the
forgiveness
of
sins
,
by
every
one
that
is
saved
.
Therefore
justification
is
attributed
to
Faith
,
Rom.
5.1
.
Therefore
being
justified
by
Faith
,
we
have
peace
with
God
by
our
Lord
Jesus
Christ
.
So
Gal.
2.16
.
and
3.11
.
In
all
which
places
.
Faith
is
put
in
opposition
to
the
works
of
the
Law
.
And
so
the
righteousness
of
Christ
is
called
the
Righteousness
of
Faith
,
Rom.
9.30
.
and
10.6
.
in
opposition
to
the
righteousness
by
Works
:
Not
as
if
Faith
were
the
matter
of
our
justification
,
that
it
did
,
as
an
Act
or
Work
in
the
Soul
,
justifie
before
God
;
but
that
God
doth
thus
make
over
the
blood
and
righteousness
of
Jesus
Christ
to
a
Soul
,
by
enabling
the
Soul
to
come
unto
to
take
hold
of
,
to
apply
to
it self
,
to
appropriate
the
merit
of
the
blood
of
Jesus
Christ
for
its
own
Redemption
and
Salvation
,
which
may
afford
us
a
plain
Description
of
justifying
Faith
,
precisely
considered
;
Namely
,
Faith
is
a
Work
of
the
Holy
Ghost
in
the
Soul
,
enabling
it
to
appropriate
,
or
apply
to
it self
the
blood
and
righteousness
of
Jesus
Christ
,
for
the
Remission
of
sin
,
and
its
justification
unto
eternal
Life
.
So
it
is
called
the
work
of
Faith
with
power
,
2
Thes.
1.11
.
and
't
is
expressed
by
receiving
of
Jesus
Christ
,
Joh.
1.
and
believing
on
his
Name
,
coming
unto
him
,
resting
upon
him
:
So
that
,
plainly
,
Faith
is
a
going
out
to
,
believing
in
,
trusting
on
another
;
namely
,
the
Lord
Jesus
Christ
:
For
what
it
can
never
be
able
to
find
or
bring
about
in
or
by
it self
,
which
may
lead
us
to
the
more
particular
way
of
the
Holy
Ghost's
working
this
power
in
the
Soul
,
in
the
saved
ones
of
God
.
1.
In
the
working
of
Faith
in
the
Soul
,
it
is
first
brought
to
see
an
impossibility
of
coming
to
God
,
as
in
its
self
,
or
by
its
self
,
concluded
under
an
utter
unability
to
pacifie
God
,
or
make
up
a
righteousness
in
it self
,
to
get
access
to
God
.
The
soul
is
emptied
from
vessel
to
vessel
,
till
all
the
things
that
it
counted
gain
before
,
become
loss
for
Jesus
Christ
;
this
is
the
first
work
of
the
Spirit
,
it
empties
a
poor
sinful
Creature
of
all
its
refuges
,
all
its
dependencies
,
all
its
sufficiencies
,
and
so
becomes
naked
in
its
guilt
before
God
,
and
therefore
is
brought
to
this
,
that
its
acceptance
to
God
,
(
if
ever
it
be
accepted
)
must
be
out
of
its
self
;
what
ever
become
of
him
,
he
must
perish
as
in
himself
.
2.
In
the
work
of
Faith
,
the
Soul
is
brought
to
see
that
this
was
the
end
of
the
Revelation
of
Jesus
Christ
,
of
God's
setting
him
forth
to
be
a
propitiation
,
that
he
might
work
forth
Redemption
and
Righteousness
,
that
this
is
a
way
of
God's
own
ordaining
,
Jesus
Christ
was
set
forth
for
this
very
end
,
even
by
God
himself
,
and
therefore
the
soul
is
brought
to
this
conclusion
,
to
venture
the
Issue
of
its
life
,
and
eternal
salvation
upon
it
;
and
so
throws
it self
,
as
in
a
sinking
condition
,
upon
the
grace
,
blood
,
righteousness
of
Jesus
Christ
,
sink
or
swim
,
live
or
perish
,
saved
or
damned
;
there
the
soul
casts
Anchor
,
there
it
pitcheth
,
to
this
it
will
stand
or
fall
before
the
righteous
God
;
if
there
be
not
enough
in
the
blood
of
Jesus
,
to
give
it
acceptance
with
God
,
the
Soul
resolves
,
to
Hell
it
must
.
There
saith
a
poor
self-emptied
Soul
,
I
cast
even
away
my self
(
if
it
might
be
)
upon
it
,
Phil.
3.9
.
3.
The
soul
is
brought
on
to
believe
the
report
,
that
God
in
his
word
makes
concerning
his
Son
Jesus
Christ
,
and
of
the
price
,
value
,
merit
,
and
all-sufficiency
of
his
blood
to
save
a
poor
sinner
,
even
to
the
utmost
,
that
comes
to
God
by
him
,
Heb.
7.25
.
to
answer
all
the
wants
and
distresses
of
a
poor
soul
,
namely
,
in
pacifying
the
Justice
of
God
,
fulfilling
the
Law
,
making
attonement
,
removing
guilt
,
procuring
remission
of
sins
,
reconciling
to
God
,
Rom.
5.9
,
10.
Much
more
being
now
justified
by
his
blood
,
we
shall
be
saved
from
wrath
through
him
:
For
if
when
we
were
enemies
we
were
reconciled
to
God
by
the
death
of
his
Son
,
much
more
being
reconciled
we
shall
be
saved
by
his
Life
:
In
all
which
things
,
the
soul
is
enabled
to
believe
the
report
of
the
Gospel
,
that
the
blood
and
death
of
Jesus
Christ
can
do
all
this
for
poor
sinners
that
shall
pitch
upon
it
.
4.
In
this
working
of
faith
,
the
soul
comes
to
see
and
fasten
upon
an
absolue
,
unlimited
Free
promise
,
where
any
sinner
that
will
,
may
come
to
Jesus
Christ
,
and
so
have
the
vertue
of
his
death
and
blood
applied
to
it
;
and
therefore
that
he
as
well
as
any
other
sinner
in
the
world
may
come
to
him
,
and
make
claim
to
his
blood
,
and
plead
it
before
God
;
whosoever
will
,
let
him
come
!
Rev.
22.
Now
saith
a
poor
self-emptied
sinner
,
I
do
not
find
that
I
am
any
where
excluded
,
but
invited
and
called
upon
,
to
come
to
the
Lord
Jesus
,
and
claim
an
interest
in
his
blood
,
and
that
I
may
plead
it
even
at
the
throne
of
his
Justice
,
and
that
I
may
warrantably
,
safely
,
upon
good
grounds
,
given
out
from
the
mouth
of
God
himself
,
take
hold
of
the
Lord
Jesus
in
such
a
Promise
,
and
there
is
no
sin
or
unworthiness
can
exclude
me
,
unless
I
will
frowardly
and
wretchedly
exclude
my self
:
I
do
not
find
,
saith
the
poor
soul
,
that
any
sin
is
too
great
for
the
Sacrifice
of
that
blood
of
Jesus
,
so
the
sinner
will
come
to
it
,
yea
,
that
't
is
the
greatest
sin
,
and
the
top
of
condemnation
,
not
to
come
to
it
;
that
I
more
injure
God
,
by
standing
off
from
Jesus
Christ
,
than
by
all
the
filthiness
,
blasphemies
,
ungodlinesses
,
my
Soul
ever
wallowed
in
,
Heb.
10.29
.
The
Blood
of
Christ
is
a
price
sufficient
for
the
sins
of
the
whole
World
,
therefore
,
saith
a
poor
soul
,
for
mine
;
He
is
the
Lamb
of
God
,
that
taketh
away
the
sins
of
the
world
,
and
therefore
he
can
take
away
mine
;
and
I
am
freely
called
and
invited
to
it
,
and
't
is
my
Rebellion
not
to
come
,
what
can
I
have
more
?
And
so
sense
of
Peace
,
and
Reconciliation
falls
in
upon
the
Soul
.
5.
The
Soul
by
its
often
renewing
of
such
Acts
of
Believing
,
comes
at
last
to
see
the
blood
of
Jesus
Christ
appropriated
to
him
;
now
it
can
stay
it self
upon
the
word
of
promise
;
and
can
sometimes
rejoyce
in
believing
.
If
I
roll
my self
upon
the
blood
of
Jesus
,
I
have
the
Word
of
God
for
it
,
that
I
shall
be
saved
,
we
shall
be
saved
from
Wrath
through
him
;
not
,
it
may
be
,
but
,
we
shall
be
saved
,
and
all
upon
the
account
of
being
justified
by
his
blood
,
Rom.
5.9
.
which
justification
ariseth
upon
this
believing
we
have
mentioned
.
Thus
have
I
opened
the
nature
of
Faith
,
as
it
is
precisely
justifying
,
as
it
applies
and
appropriates
the
blood
and
righteousness
of
the
Lord
Jesus
,
for
Remission
of
sins
,
and
Justification
unto
eternal
Life
;
I
might
insist
upon
the
discovery
of
the
effectual
operations
of
Faith
in
the
Soul
,
as
may
distinguish
it
from
a
meer
belief
of
the
History
of
the
death
of
Jesus
Christ
;
take
two
or
three
.
1.
When
the
Soul
by
Faith
doth
act
upon
the
blood
of
Jesus
Christ
for
justification
,
it
doth
also
bring
the
power
and
efficacy
of
it
,
for
purging
of
the
Soul
,
Heb.
9.14
.
How
much
more
shall
the
blood
of
Christ
,
who
through
the
eternal
Spirit
,
offer'd
himself
without
spot
to
God
,
purge
your
Conscience
from
dead
works
,
to
serve
the
living
God
;
So
Acts
15.9
.
Purifying
your
hearts
by
faith
.
There
is
a
purifying
vertue
in
the
blood
of
Jesus
Christ
upon
the
souls
of
Believers
;
they
are
for
the
purging
away
the
filth
,
as
well
as
the
guilt
of
sin
;
there
's
no
believing
soul
but
crys
out
,
Purge
me
,
Oh
Lord
,
purge
me
,
and
throughly
,
from
my
filth
.
2.
The
soul
hath
a
secret
,
yet
real
fellowship
with
the
death
of
Jesus
Christ
,
to
crucifie
and
destroy
the
body
of
sin
in
a
justified
believer
which
ariseth
from
its
union
with
Christ
,
Rom.
6.5
,
6.
For
if
we
have
been
planted
together
in
the
likeness
of
his
death
,
we
shall
be
also
in
the
likeness
of
his
Resurrection
;
knowing
that
our
old
man
is
crucified
with
him
,
that
the
body
of
sin
might
be
destroyed
,
that
henceforth
we
should
not
serve
sin
.
Every
true
believer
can
really
say
,
I
am
,
or
I
would
be
,
Crucified
with
Christ
,
Gal.
2.20
.
Which
the
Apostle
there
brings
in
as
an
effect
of
Justification
by
Faith
.
3.
Every
justified
believer
looks
upon
this
as
one
great
end
of
his
Justification
,
that
he
might
live
to
God
,
Gal.
2.19
.
That
I
might
live
unto
God
.
Likewise
reckon
ye
your selves
to
be
dead
indeed
unto
him
,
but
alive
unto
God
through
Jesus
Christ
our
Lord
,
Rom.
6.11
.
Every
justified
Believer
doth
thus
reckon
of
himself
,
I
am
to
be
dead
to
sin
,
but
alive
to
God
,
I
am
to
yield
my self
to
God
,
verse
13.
To
have
my
fruit
unto
Holiness
,

Faith
that
justifies
,
doth
through
the
Spirit
work
the
Soul
to
Gospel-obedience
,
to
all
the
Laws
and
Ordinances
of
Jesus
Christ
,
which
shall
be
revealed
to
be
the
Will
of
Christ
,
from
the
Command
of
Jesus
Christ
,
and
from
a
principle
of
love
to
Jesus
Christ
,
John
15.10
.
5.
A
justifi'd
believer
will
deny
himself
for
Christ
,
take
up
his
cross
and
follow
him
;
let
any
sufferings
be
proposed
to
a
called
believer
,
and
let
him
know
it
is
for
Jesus
Christ
,
and
that
soul
(
unless
under
a
temporary
desertion
or
temptation
)
will
choose
and
embrace
those
sufferings
,
and
undergo
them
with
some
chearfulness

priseth

are
alive

I
might
name
many
more
particulars
,
but
these
may
suffice
,
as
the
most
distinguishing
.
1.
Let
what
hath
been
spoken
serve
to
discover
to
you
,
Whether
you
have
Faith
that
doth
entitle
you
to
the
blood
of
Jesus
Christ
,
and
the
forgiveness
of
your
sins
.
Can
you
say
,
Your
Souls
are
carried
out
after
more
purging
,
and
't
is
your
daily
cry
to
Heaven
?
Can
you
say
,
that
you
are
often
crucifiing
with
Jesus
Christ
?
And
Oh
that
I
were
,
that
I
were
but
crucifi'd
with
Jesus
Christ
,
that
I
might
reckon
of
my self
as
dead
to
sin
!
and
oh
that
I
might
live
to
God
,
and
might
walk
in
Gospel-obedience
!
That
I
might
throughly
deny
my self
for
Jesus
Christ
,
and
choose
to
suffer
with
him
and
for
him
.
Oh
I
would
more
clearly
see
the
Marriage-union
between
Christ
and
my
poor
Soul
!
I
would
,
I
do
,
bestow
my self
upon
him
,
and
all
that
's
mine
;
I
do
give
my self
to
him
!
I
will
be
content
with
him
here
,
and
for
ever
:
Whom
have
I
,
whom
have
I
,
but
him
?
Oh
,
have
you
found
,
in
some
good
degree
,
such
Workings
of
heart
towards
Jesus
Christ
!
And
do
you
live
by
your
Faith
,
upon
Christ
,
upon
Promises
?
and
do
you
maintain
your
Souls
this
way
:
And
do
you
love
,
and
delight
in
the
Fellowship
of
living
Souls
,
savoury
Souls
;
or
do
you
,
at
least
,
long
that
you
may
have
some
opportunity
to
do
so
?
If
you
cannot
,
in
some
measure
,
experience
these
things
,
your
Faith
is
a
dead
empty
Speculation
;
such
a
Faith
that
is
so
far
from
uniting
you
to
Christ
,
that
indeed
it
keeps
you
on
this
side
Jesus
Christ
:
And
therefore
say
of
it
,
't
is
a
Faith
that
is
in
vain
,
that
keeps
me
dead
in
my
sins
:
Oh
therefore
,
say
in
thy
heart
,
I
will
now
wait
on
the
Word
,
the
Ministration
of
it
,
that
is
ordained
of
God
to
beget
Faith
;
I
will
go
and
pray
the
Father
to
draw
me
to
Jesus
Christ
,
and
that
my
Soul
may
be
united
to
him
,
that
I
may
have
Fellowship
in
his
Death
and
Resurrection
;
that
I
may
be
made
alive
unto
God
;
that
I
may
feel
the
pacifying
,
purging
vertue
of
the
blood
of
the
Lord
Jesus
upon
my
poor
Soul
.
By
what
hath
been
said
,
Believers
may
try
their
Faith
;
and
if
they
find
their
Souls
to
have
experienced
these
things
,
they
may
take
comfort
that
they
are
justified
by
Faith
in
the
blood
of
Jesus
,
and
therefore
shall
be
saved
by
his
Life
.
To
wind
up
all
in
a
word
of
Exhortation
.
1.
God
hath
set
forth
Jesus
Christ
to
be
a
Propitiation
,
that
through
Faith
in
his
blood
,
a
sinner
may
become
justified
from
his
sin
,
then
what
encouragement
is
there
for
sinners
to
come
to
him
,
and
believe
on
his
Name
,
to
venture
the
Issue
of
Eternal
Salvation
upon
him
,
since
God
himself
hath
set
him
forth
for
that
end
and
purpose
,
that
sinners
might
come
unto
him
,
and
be
washed
,
justified
,
saved
from
their
sins
.
'T
is
not
then
to
be
doubted
but
that
God
as
he
hath
therein
taken
care
for
the
Salvation
of
the
sinner
,
so
for
the
glory
of
his
own
righteousness
:
So
that
the
sinner
hath
no
reason
to
doubt
,
that
comes
to
Jesus
in
the
way
proposed
but
that
God
can
take
pleasure
to
accept
of
him
through
the
blood
of
Jesus
.
'T
was
the
most
deliberate
Act
that
ever
the
Wisdom
of
God
was
taken
up
about
the
setting
forth
of
Jesus
Christ
,
to
be
the
Saviour
of
Sinners
through
his
Blood
:
'T
was
the
first
Foundation
that
God
laid
from
all
Eternity
;
and
after
he
had
promised
Jesus
Christ
,
it
was
some
thousands
of
years
before
he
set
him
forth
to
the
world
:
And
therefore
God
cannot
repent
nor
change
his
mind
and
purpose
as
to
accepting
,
pardoning
,
justifying
,
sanctifying
poor
sinners
,
that
cast
their
Souls
upon
it
,
by
the
Blood
of
his
Son
Jesus
Christ
.
Upon
which
it
is
,
that
blessed
Souls
are
brought
in
,
in
the
Scriptures
,
magnifying
the
grace
of
God
for
their
cleansing
by
the
blood
of
Jesus
,
1
John
1.7
.
The
blood
of
Jesus
Christ
cleanseth
us
from
all
sin
:
So
are
the
Saints
brought
forth
triumphing
,
Revel.
5.9
.
Thou
wast
slain
,
and
hath
redeemed
us
to
God
by
thy
blood
:
And
Chap.
7.14
.
These
are
they
who
have
washed
their
Robes
,
and
made
them
white
in
the
Blood
of
the
Lamb.
Therefore
,
I
say
,
with
what
boldness
may
poor
sinners
come
unto
it
?
and
how
certainly
are
they
in
God's
way
to
Salvation
?
in
which
way
blessed
Souls
have
been
ever
found
,
and
none
did
ever
miss
of
this
end
,
the
Salvation
of
their
Souls
.
I
have
now
dispatcht
what
I
shall
speak
at
this
time
,
as
to
the
Doctrine
of
Justification
,
by
the
Free-grace
of
God
,
through
the
Righteousness
of
Jesus
Christ
,
and
of
saving
Faith
therein
,
and
shall
commit
it
to
the
Lord
to
work
it
upon
the
Conscience
;
I
shall
a
little
insist
upon
the
last
verse
,
in
the
removal
of
that
Objection
which
the
heart
puts
up
against
this
blessed
Truth
.

last
.
Do
we
then
make
void
the
Law
through
Faith
?
God
forbid
;
yea
,
we
establish
the
Law
.
THE
former
Verses
intermitted
,
might
have
afforded
us
much
choice
matter
,
in
the
opening
the
Doctrine
of
Grace
,
and
the
Righteousness
of
Jesus
Christ
;
Namely
,
that
God
is
just
in
the
remission
of
a
Believer
,
upon
Faith
in
the
Blood
of
Jesus
,
from
verse
26.
And
that
the
Doctrine
of
Grace
excludes
all
boasting
from
the
Creature
,
from
ver.
27.
That
Jew
and
Gentile
,
all
that
are
saved
,
must
come
to
God
,
and
be
justified
in
this
way
,
and
no
other
,
from
ver.
29
,
30.
But
I
must
contract
my self
.
I
come
now
to
the
Objection
,
that
the
Heart
,
so
far
as
it
is
carnal
,
doth
naturally
make
against
this
Doctrine
:
Namely
,
If
a
Soul
be
only
justified
by
Grace
,
through
the
Righteousness
of
Jesus
Christ
,
doth
not
this
then
make
void
the
Law
,
and
all
Obedience
to
it
?
What
need
then
of
our
Obedience
?
God
forbid
,
saith
Paul
,
we
establish
it
,
that
is
,
the
Doctrine
of
Justification
by
Faith
,
doth
rather
establish
it
.
The
Law
doth
stand
establisht
in
a
threefold
sense
.
First
,
Jesus
Christ
hath
establisht
it
by
fulfilling
it
,
whereby
the
righteousness
of
the
Law
is
fufilled
upon
us
,
Rom.
8.4
.
Jesus
Christ
perfectly
fulfilled
the
Law
,
and
kept
it
,
and
so
makes
over
the
righteousness
of
it
to
Believers
,
as
hath
been
shewed
;
and
so
the
Law
stands
establisht
.
Secondly
,
The
Law
stands
establisht
as
a
means
,
through
the
Spirit
,
to
convince
of
sin
,
and
of
our
shortness
of
the
righteousness
of
it
;
as
ver.
20.
And
so
Christ
often
made
use
of
it
for
such
ends
.
Thirdly
,
The
Law
stands
establisht
as
an
Everlasting
Rule
of
righteousness
and
holiness
,
promised
in
the
New
Covenant
to
be
written
in
the
Heart
,
Heb.
8.
So
that
,
through
Jesus
Christ
,
in
justifying
by
his
blood
,
hath
quit
the
sinner
from
all
guilt
and
condemnation
by
the
Law
;
yet
he
hath
not
given
the
Believer
a
discharge
from
all
obedience
of
it
:
And
therefore
to
evince
this
,
I
shall
lay
down
this
Position
,
that
Observ
.
Though
all
a
Believer
hath
done
,
or
can
do
,
cannot
justifie
him
before
God
;
yet
there
are
other
blessed
ends
,
why
he
should
obey
God
,
and
delight
in
his
Law
.
1.
Obedience
to
God
is
placed
as
the
great
End
of
our
redemption
,
Luke
1.74
,
75.
—
That
we
might
serve
him
without
fear
,
(
a
sear
of
bondage
)
in
holiness
and
righteousness
before
him
all
the
days
of
our
life
.
God
hath
not
only
in
his
purpose
the
remission
and
salvation
of
the
Sinner
,
but
that
thereby
he
would
have
all
that
are
called
into
this
grace
to
serve
him
in
Holiness
.
And
this
end
is
to
be
upon
the
heart
of
the
Believer
,
when
justified
by
Faith
:
The
purpose
of
God
in
this
,
is
,
that
I
should
serve
him
in
holiness
,
1
Tim.
1.9
.
That
I
should
live
to
God
Rom.
6.11
.
as
hath
been
shewed
.
2.
From
the
Sovereign
Command
of
God
,
who
saith
,
Be
ye
holy
,
1
Pet.
1.15
,
16.
This
is
enough
to
a
Believer
,
that
God
hath
commanded
it
,
though
there
should
be
no
other
end
in
it
.
3.
Holiness
and
Righteousness
is
the
Soul's
conformity
unto
God
;
it
is
a
Beam
of
God
,
an
Image
of
God
,
which
he
designs
to
be
renewed
upon
all
that
shall
be
saved
;
as
shall
be
further
shewed
.
4.
Justified
Believers
do
see
an
equity
,
goodness
,
and
blessedness
in
the
Law
of
God
,
in
all
his
holy
and
righteous
Precepts
,
though
they
were
not
commanded
.
The
Law
is
holy
,
just
and
good
,
Rom.
7.
saith
Paul
,
speaking
after
the
regenerate
part
.
So
David
,
Psal.
119.
often
,
Thy
Commandmeats
which
I
have
loved
.
They
give
God
his
due
,
and
the
Creature
his
due
;
and
therefore
to
be
walkt
in
,
though
not
thereby
justified
.
5.
There
is
a
principle
of
love
to
God
,
shed
abroad
in
the
heart
of
every
justified
Believer
,
from
the
sense
of
his
rich
,
pardoning
grace
,
the
freeness
of
his
love
which
acts
and
constrains
a
Soul
to
take
delight
so
far
as
it
is
regenerated
,
in
every
Command
of
God
Rom.
5.5
.
2
Cor.
5.14
,
15.
For
the
Love
of
Christ
constraineth
us
,
because
we
thus
judge
that
if
one
died
for
all
,
then
were
all
dead
;
and
that
he
died
for
all
,
that
they
which
live
should
not
live
to
themselves
,
but
to
him
that
died
for
them
.
6.
Called
and
justified
Believers
have
blessed
sights
of
Jesus
Christ
,
that
wonderfully
take
their
hearts
:
They
have
glimpses
of
the
Beauty
of
his
Holiness
and
would
therefore
be
made
like
unto
him
,
1
John
3.2
,
3.
They
would
obey
the
Will
of
the
Father
,
as
Jesus
Christ
did
:
They
would
be
holy
and
righteous
,
and
wise
,
and
patient
,
and
Heavenly
,
as
Jesus
Christ
was
.
7.
Believers
,
in
the
way
of
their
Duty
and
Obedience
,
have
blessed
Fellowship
and
Communion
with
God
:
Saith
God
of
his
Ordinances
,
Exod.
25.22
.
There
will
I
meet
thee
,
and
commune
with
thee
:
And
Exod.
20.24
.
—
In
all
places
where
I
record
my
Name
,
there
will
I
come
unto
thee
,
and
bless
thee
.
They
are
everlasting
Promises
to
all
the
ways
of
obedience
,
wherein
the
people
of
God
do
walk
before
him
in
.
They
pray
,
they
read
,
hear
,
they
partake
of
the
Supper
in
Christs
way
,
and
there
they
have
life
and
blessing
to
their
Souls
,
and
many
a
sweet
intimation
of
love
and
mercy
they
have
whispered
into
them
;
they
set
themselves
to
walk
with
God
in
his
fear
and
counsel
,
and
God
walks
with
them
;
and
their
lives
,
if
they
keep
close
to
God
,
are
sweet
and
comfortable
to
them
.
And
this
is
even
as
much
to
them
,
as
if
they
were
thereby
justified
:
They
would
not
miss
the
sweetness
they
meet
with
in
such
ways
of
Duty
for
all
the
World
.
8.
By
their
Sanctification
and
Obedience
,
their
justification
is
comfortably
evidenced
to
them
,
Rom.
6.16
.
Know
ye
not
,
that
to
whom
ye
yield
your selves
servants
to
obey
,
his
servants
ye
are
to
whom
ye
obey
;
whether
of
sin
unto
Death
,
or
of
obedience
unto
Righteousness
:
And
—
Ye
know
that
every
one
that
doth
righteousness
is
born
of
him
,
1
John
2.29
.
We
know
that
we
have
passed
from
Death
to
Life
,
because
we
love
the
Brethren
.
So
that
,
no
doubt
,
Believers
may
come
to
a
sweet
and
blessed
Evidence
of
their
good
estate
,
and
of
their
justification
by
the
work
of
Sanctification
in
them
,
and
their
willing
obedience
to
God
,
though
a
Believer
doth
not
always
,
and
at
all
times
,
fetch
in
his
evidence
of
Believing
,
and
of
comfort
,
this
way
;
but
sometimes
from
the
Promise
,
and
from
the
more
immediate
Testimony
of
the
Spirit
.
But
though
a
Believer
doth
not
,
and
it
may
be
cannot
always
fetch
in
his
consolation
and
peace
from
Sanctification
and
Obedience
:
Yet
that
soul
that
wholly
neglects
it
,
and
slights
Evidences
from
Humiliation
,
Sanctification
,
and
Obedience
,
had
best
timely
look
to
it
,
that
the
Witness
in
himself
he
pretends
to
,
be
not
from
imagination
of
his
own
heart
,
from
the
wicked
ones
delusion
,
and
from
some
overly
notions
of
grace
that
may
affect
his
heart
,
but
leave
him
on
this
side
Regeneration
.
9.
Believers
do
perform
their
Duties
,
as
returns
to
God
:
Every
called
Believer
saith
in
his
heart
,
as
David
,
Psal.
116.12
.
Oh!
What
shall
I
render
to
thee
?
How
gracious
hath
God
been
?
and
now
how
holy
should
I
be
?
Who
shall
love
the
Lord
,
and
fear
before
him
,
and
praise
him
,
If
I
shall
not
?
To
whom
shall
his
Name
,
Laws
,
Ordinances
,
be
precious
,
if
not
unto
me
?
Who
is
more
bound
to
love
the
blessed
God
than
I
?
and
how
shall
I
love
him
but
by
obeying
him
?
Thus
doth
a
Believer
perform
his
obedience
,
as
a
Testimony
of
a
thankful
return
to
God
;
though
I
do
not
say
,
that
this
is
all
his
motive
.
10.
By
the
Obedience
and
Holiness
of
Believers
,
God
is
much
glorified
in
the
World
;
't
is
the
greatest
glory
that
God
designs
to
himself
in
the
World
,
even
by
the
holiness
,
and
willing
,
gracious
obedience
of
his
people
to
him
.
When
the
World
lies
in
wickedness
,
and
makes
war
against
the
great
and
Holy
God
,
this
is
that
which
honours
God
,
that
he
hath
a
people
,
called
by
his
grace
,
that
set
forth
the
glory
of
holiness
in
the
world
,
that
are
witnesses
to
the
holiness
of
God
,
the
holiness
of
his
Worship
,
and
all
his
ways
,
and
profess
and
endeavour
to
walk
in
them
!
and
by
this
,
others
are
brought
on
to
glorifie
God
on
their
behalf
,
1
Pet.
2.12
.
Vse
1.
It
may
serve
for
instruction
and
information
of
your
Judgments
and
Consciences
,
that
there
are
other
blessed
,
and
necessary
,
and
holy
Ends
,
in
the
Sanctification
and
Obedience
of
a
Believer
,
though
they
do
not
pacifie
God
,
nor
justifie
the
Believer
,
nor
procure
mercy
by
way
of
worthiness
,
to
a
poor
Soul
called
thereunto
,
which
may
therefore
serve
to
discover
the
damnableness
of
such
kind
of
Doctrines
,
that
teach
and
cry
in
this
day
,
Grace
is
free
,
Christ
hath
done
all
;
what
need
you
pray
,
and
have
Ordinances
,
and
be
holy
?
This
is
of
the
wicked
one
,
and
comes
from
his
Instruments
and
Factors
,
who
are
sent
abroad
to
damn
Souls
:
You
may
see
,
that
not
one
of
those
Ends
mentioned
,
but
is
of
weight
enough
to
convince
a
Soul
of
the
necessity
of
Holiness
,
Duties
and
Obedience
;
and
such
mens
preten●es
,
are
not
a
Scripture-way
of
Free
grace
.
2.
If
there
are
blessed
and
holy
Ends
of
a
Believers
Duties
and
Obedience
,
though
he
is
not
there●y
justified
,
it
may
serve
to
take
off
that
prejudice
of
heart
,
through
misunderstanding
and
Ignorance
,
that
is
apt
to
be
upon
the
hearts
of
such
as
are
Car●al
,
when
they
hear
that
all
their
Duties
,
Sobriety
,
and
Righteousness
,
is
to
be
accounted
as
loss
for
Christ
.
You
see
there
are
good
and
necessary
Ends
of
all
Duties
of
Obedience
;
only
still
take
this
with
you
,
and
to
your
Consciences
,
that
till
you
come
as
poor
and
naked
to
Jesus
Christ
,
for
your
justifying
Righ●●ousness
,
and
so
get
life
in
and
from
him
,
and
so
are
●●rried
on
in
a
way
of
Duty
;
else
your
Duties
serve
●u
for
no
end
and
purpose
,
unless
for
a
lesser
degree
of
Torment
in
Hell
,
only
be
encouraged
to
wait
upon
the
means
for
the
receiving
of
the
Spirit
,
for
the
Knowldge
of
Jesus
Christ
:
And
these
things
I
have
spoken
may
be
your
Experience
.
3.
It
may
further
direct
Believers
,
what
ends
they
are
to
propose
to
themselves
in
the
way
of
their
Duties
and
Obedience
,
to
be
carried
on
in
them
through
the
Grace
of
GOD
,
and
the
daily
supply
of
the
Spirit
,
as
one
great
end
of
your
Redemption
,
that
you
should
serve
the
Lord
in
Holiness
,
to
eye
the
Soveraign
and
Absolute
Command
of
God
over
you
;
that
thereby
you
are
made
conformable
to
God
,
and
shew
forth
his
Image
,
and
to
the
Death
and
Resurrection
of
Jesus
Christ
,
that
there
is
an
equity
and
goodness
in
all
the
Holy
and
Righteous
Ways
of
God
.
And
see
that
the
Love
of
God
be
shed
abroad
in
your
hearts
,
to
draw
out
your
love
to
him
,
and
so
be
acted
in
your
Obedience
.
Get
your
hearts
taken
with
the
beauty
and
glory
of
the
Lord
Jesus
,
and
so
long
after
likeness
to
him
:
See
that
you
look
after
Communion
with
God
in
your
Duties
,
and
that
you
do
not
neglect
your
Evidence
for
the
Pardon
of
your
sins
,
by
the
sight
of
your
sanctification
,
and
your
Universal
Obedience
:
And
perform
them
not
as
to
procure
mercy
,
by
any
proportion
thereunto
is
your
Duties
,
but
as
Returns
to
God
,
and
consider
how
much
God
is
glorified
in
the
World
by
the
Obedience
of
his
people
.
And
thus
may
you
carry
on
your
progress
in
Holiness
,
and
a
sweet
and
coscientious
performance
of
Duties
,
and
walking
with
God
;
and
yet
live
by
your
Faith
for
your
justification
,
by
the
rich
and
Free
grace
of
God
,
through
the
righteousness
of
Jesus
Christ
,
as
if
you
had
never
obeyed
at
all
.
In
a
word
,
If
thou
hast
felt
the
power
and
vertue
of
the
blood
of
Jesus
Christ
upon
thy
soul
,
coming
as
a
poor
,
naked
,
polluted
,
guilty
Soul
unto
it
(
as
thou
hast
been
shewed
)
and
hast
received
life
from
Jesus
Christ
,
by
a
believing
closing
with
him
;
and
art
waiting
for
a
sight
and
sense
of
thy
justification
,
but
doest
yet
want
it
;
remember
still
,
that
in
the
performance
of
thy
Duties
,
thy
Heart
(
which
it
is
very
apt
to
do
)
lays
no
stress
upon
them
,
as
in
them
to
appear
before
God
,
and
to
procure
the
favour
of
God
,
but
still
go
forth
to
the
grace
,
blood
,
righteousness
,
promises
of
Christ
,
and
there
fix
for
thy
acceptance
with
God
,
and
be
much
in
renewing
of
Acts
of
Faith
;
that
is
,
casting
thy
Soul
upon
them
,
and
Evidence
will
come
in
;
yet
go
on
in
humbling
,
praying
,
waiting
,
reforming
,
sanctifying
,
obeying
,
as
to
the
ends
mentioned
;
and
the
peace
of
God
fill
thy
heart
.
2.
Believers
,
that
have
some
sense
of
your
justification
,
do
you
remember
that
you
obey
God
,
not
that
thereby
you
were
,
are
,
or
ever
may
be
justified
;
but
because
you
are
justified
:
Therefore
you
obey
the
Lord
,
and
delight
in
his
ways
;
keep
this
in
your
eye
,
and
't
will
keep
the
heart
from
going
to
bottom
upon
your selves
,
as
gracious
,
and
partly
righteous
,
which
mixtures
render
Duties
uncomfortable
,
and
keep
souls
from
Assurance
:
No
Believer
performs
his
Duties
so
spiritually
,
sweetly
and
comtably
,
as
that
soul
that
labours
to
keep
the
sight
of
his
Justification
,
still
upon
the
Account
of
Free-grace
,
and
out
of
himself
,
that
soul
enjoys
sweetest
Communion
with
God
in
the
way
of
his
Duties
,
and
gets
to
Heaven
with
most
comfort
and
assurance
,
AMEN

The
Third
Treatise
.
Shewing
the
Gospel-Evidences
of
a
True
Christian
,
as
they
are
experienced
by
these
who
are
truly
Believers
,
and
the
false
Appearances
thereof
plainly
refuted
.
2
COR.
5.17
.
If
any
man
be
in
Christ
,
he
is
a
New
Creature
.
I
Have
been
opening
the
difference
between
the
Righteousness
of
the
Law
and
the
Gospel
,
shewing
the
Necessity
,
Nature
,
and
Way
of
obtaining
Gospel-justification
by
the
Blood
of
Jesus
Christ
,
and
have
discovered
a
Soul
estated
therein
;
I
shall
now
endeavour
to
open
the
Gospel
New
Creature
,
peculiarly
,
as
distinguisht
from
that
which
is
called
(
in
appearance
)
a
Legal-New-Creature
,
&c.
Now
let
a
soul
fail
in
either
of
these
,
and
lost
for
ever
,
fail
of
a
saving
close
with
Jesus
Christ
for
righteousness
,
or
being
a
New
Creature
in
Christ
,
and
you
perish
in
your
sins
,
and
the
wrath
of
God
will
overtake
you
.
I
shall
not
now
take
up
time
in
opening
the
coherence
of
the
words
,
nor
will
it
much
be
desired
,
as
to
our
design
:
I
shall
therefore
draw
this
plain
conclusion
from
them
.
Namely
,
Observ
.
There
's
an
absolute
necessity
,
in
order
to
the
Salvation
of
every
soul
,
to
become
a
New
Creature
in
Christ
.
Having
proved
it
,
we
shall
open
the
way
of
being
a
New
Creature
,
and
how
in
Christ
:
Then
how
distinguisht
from
an
appearing
New
Creature
,
(
but
not
so
indeed
)
and
so
give
forth
the
Evidences
of
it
.
Those
Scriptures
that
speak
of
the
necessity
of
being
born
again
of
the
Spirit
,
John
3.3
,
5.
And
of
being
converted
,
Mat.
8.3
.
do
evince
the
same
truth
,
Gal.
6.15
.
Neither
Circumcision
,
nor
Vncircumcision
,
avail
any
thing
,
but
a
New
Creature
.
For
we
are
his
Workmanship
created
unto
Christ
Jesus
,
&c.
Ephes.
2.10
.
He
that
hath
wrought
us
for
the
self
same
thing
is
God
,
and
hath
given
us
the
earnest
of
his
Spirit
,
2
Cor.
5.5
.
The
necessity
of
this
New-Creature
doth
arise
,
1.
From
the
tenour
of
the
New
Covenant
,
in
which
way
God
hath
obliged
himself
to
give
out
mercy
;
and
in
no
other
.
Now
thus
runs
the
New-Covenant
,
this
is
the
great
Article
of
it
;
Make
you
a
new
heart
,
and
a
new
Spirit
,
Ezek.
11.31
.
Which
God
promiseth
to
give
to
all
he
takes
into
a
Covenant
of
mercy
and
peace
with
himself
;
I
will
put
a
new
Spirit
within
you
,
and
a
new
heart
will
I
give
unto
you
,
Ezek.
11.19
.
And
to
the
same
purpose
,
Ezek.
36.26
.
Wherein
,
as
we
shall
shew
,
lies
the
special
part
of
the
New-Creature
.
2.
Because
the
Old
man
,
all
that
is
of
the
First
Adam
,
the
whole
frame
thereof
is
corrupted
and
polluted
;
therefore
it
must
be
repaired
,
renewed
,
be
made
new
,
if
ever
it
enter
into
glory
,
Ephes.
4.22
.
That
ye
put
off
concerning
the
Former
Conversation
,
the
Old
man
,
which
is
corrupt
,
according
to
the
deceitful
Lusts
,
and
be
renewed
in
the
spirit
of
your
mind
;
and
that
ye
put
on
the
New
man
,
that
after
God
is
created
in
Righteousness
and
true
Holiness
.
3.
Whosoever
shall
be
saved
,
shall
be
a
New-Creature
,
from
the
great
design
of
God
in
giving
out
his
Son
Jesus
Christ
,
which
was
,
that
all
the
Elect
should
be
made
conformable
to
the
Image
of
his
Son
,
Rom.
8.29
.
For
whom
he
did
foreknow
,
he
also
did
predestinate
to
be
conformed
to
the
Image
of
his
Son
that
he
might
be
the
first
born
among
many
Brethren
.
Jesus
Christ
is
called
the
express
Image
of
the
Father
,
Heb.
1.
And
to
that
Image
all
Believers
shall
be
conformed
:
Jesus
Christ
,
the
first-born
,
and
all
his
Brethren
,
to
be
made
conformable
unto
him
.
God
was
infinitely
pleased
with
such
a
Pattern
,
and
resolved
all
that
he
gave
to
him
,
and
designed
for
glory
,
should
be
conformed
to
his
likeness
.
4.
All
the
services
that
a
sinner
offers
to
God
,
are
not
accepted
,
till
a
New
Creature
;
till
a
Soul
shall
act
from
a
new
,
living
,
holy
principle
,
towards
God
,
Pray
,
and
hear
,
and
give
Alms
,
God
regards
it
not
,
till
a
New-Creature
:
So
the
Word
of
the
Lord
often
casts
back
the
services
of
unregenerate
men
upon
their
faces
,
as
loathsom
to
the
Lord
,
because
they
proceed
from
the
old
corrupt
Adam
,
from
unchanged
Natures
,
Isa.
1.15
.
When
you
cry
,
I
will
not
hear
you
;
Why
?
You
are
in
your
uncleanness
,
therefore
Wash
you
,
make
you
clean
.
Vse
.
Oh
let
this
make
for
your
Instruction
and
Conviction
,
that
if
ever
you
come
to
God
in
glory
,
you
must
first
be
New-Creatures
:
If
you
will
have
mercy
,
you
must
have
it
in
the
way
of
the
New-Covenant
,
and
if
so
,
you
must
be
made
new
:
While
you
have
nothing
but
the
Old
Adam
,
you
are
corrupt
,
and
polluted
,
and
abominable
.
If
you
shall
become
the
Brethren
of
the
first-born
,
Jesus
Christ
,
you
must
bear
his
Image
,
and
have
it
renewed
upon
you
.
Oh
,
you
that
are
yet
in
your
old
sins
,
and
walk
after
your
Old
Lusts
,
you
are
not
New
Creatures
:
You
will
not
think
so
,
thefore
sit
down
with
this
conviction
,
That
as
yet
you
have
no
part
in
this
blessedness
.
Oh!
All
of
you
who
are
the
same
that
ever
you
were
,
whether
living
in
gross
sins
,
or
sober
and
civil
from
your
youth
up
,
you
are
yet
of
the
Old
Adam
,
nothing
but
corrupt
nature
upon
you
:
Your
hope
is
vain
,
and
you
are
blinded
in
your
sins
,
and
the
Grace
of
God
is
not
in
you
.
2.
Oh!
Let
me
before
I
go
further
,
put
this
to
tryal
,
and
suffer
the
word
of
the
Lord
which
shall
one
day
judge
you
;
can
you
say
in
good
earnest
,
Old
things
are
past
away
,
and
all
things
are
become
new
in
me
?
Now
I
am
a
Vessel
in
the
hand
of
God
,
wrought
by
his
Spirit
,
and
there
is
through
infinite
grace
a
new
workmanship
upon
my
Soul
?
I
shall
lay
down
rules
for
the
particular
discovery
of
this
,
only
at
present
yield
up
your
conscience
to
the
power
of
the
Word
,
do
not
slink
from
under
it
;
if
it
find
you
out
in
your
sin
,
in
nature
,
the
same
that
ever
you
were
,
give
glory
to
God
,
and
say
,
the
word
of
the
Lord
is
quick
and
powerful
,
and
go
off
with
this
conviction
in
power
upon
thy
soul
,
I
never
expect
to
go
to
Heaven
and
glory
,
if
I
become
not
(
through
Grace
)
a
New
Creature
.
But
before
I
go
further
,
I
would
open
,
that
every
soul
that
is
a
New
Creature
,
must
be
in
Christ
;
and
why
.
So
saith
the
Apostle
to
these
Corinths
,
in
this
Epistle
,
13.
Chap.
5.
Examine
your selves
,
prove
your
own
selves
,
know
you
not
that
Jesus
Christ
is
in
you
,
except
ye
be
reprobates
?
ye
are
created
into
Christ
Jesus
,
Ephes.
2.10
.
If
a
man
abide
not
in
me
,
he
is
cast
out
as
a
Branch
,
and
is
withered
,
John
15.6
.
Now
herein
lies
the
great
Mystery
of
Godliness
,
unto
which
all
our
Evidences
for
Heaven
are
resolved
,
and
therefore
this
is
a
weighty
enquiry
.
I
am
to
speak
of
it
,
especially
as
it
relates
to
the
making
and
forming
the
New-Creature
.
This
being
in
Christ
is
expressed
by
being
rooted
into
Christ
,
Col.
2.7
.
Planted
into
him
,
Rom.
6.
Built
up
in
him
.
Col.
2.
All
which
bespeaks
a
real
union
with
him
;
that
this
is
not
a
meer
imaginary
thing
,
but
as
true
and
real
as
the
union
between
the
root
and
the
branches
,
John
15.
and
the
foundation
,
and
the
building
,
Ephes.
2.
which
is
wrought
by
the
Spirit
of
the
Lord
Jesus
,
drawing
and
uniting
true
believers
unto
him
;
the
same
Spirit
dwelling
in
them
;
Rom.
8.9
,
10
,
11.
—
By
his
Spirit
that
dwelleth
in
you
.
Now
to
consider
,
Why
all
that
are
New
Creatures
,
according
to
the
Gospel
,
must
be
so
in
Christ
.
1.
Such
as
are
Gospel
New
Creatures
must
be
in
Christ
,
because
if
they
be
New
Creatures
,
they
must
be
Living
Creatures
.
Now
God
hath
laid
up
all
life
,
that
shall
be
dispenced
forth
,
in
his
Son
Jesus
Christ
,
John
5.21
,
26.
—
The
Son
quickneth
whom
he
will
;
for
as
the
Father
hath
life
in
himself
,
So
he
hath
given
to
the
Son
to
have
Life
in
himself
;
Because
I
live
,
ye
shall
live
also
,
John
14.19
.
Now
naturally
all
sinners
are
dead
in
the
old
Adam
,
and
utterly
unable
to
beget
life
in
themselves
:
Who
can
make
alive
his
own
soul
?
but
when
they
were
New-born
,
as
new
Creatures
,
they
are
said
to
be
quickned
in
Christ
,
Ephes.
2.5
.
As
God
breathed
life
into
man
at
first
,
and
so
he
became
a
living
soul
;
so
in
the
new
Creation
,
the
soul
is
said
to
be
created
into
Christ
,
Ephes.
2.10
.
and
to
be
made
Alive
in
him
,
Rom.
6.11
.
2.
If
there
were
not
a
real
union
of
the
soul
with
Christ
,
life
(
if
it
should
be
given
without
it
)
would
not
be
preserved
in
the
soul
,
Thou
holdest
our
Soul
in
life
,
Psal.
66.9
.
As
the
branch
,
though
it
was
once
quickned
,
cannot
preserve
its
life
,
if
cut
off
from
the
root
;
and
therefore
a
continued
supply
of
life
from
Jesus
Christ
,
to
the
soul
,
is
necessary
,
as
to
all
its
spiritual
actings
as
a
new
Creature
.
3.
By
being
in
Christ
,
the
Soul
is
made
partaker
of
the
divine
nature
,
2
Pet.
1.4
.
by
which
the
regenerate
part
,
all
gracious
habits
are
infused
in
the
soul
,
whereby
the
New
Creature
is
formed
up
in
believers
.
Hence
it
is
,
that
all
grace
and
holiness
is
infused
into
the
Soul
,
as
distinguish'd
from
Common
grace
,
that
at
last
withereth
,
John
15.6
.
If
a
man
abide
not
in
me
,
he
he
is
cast
forth
as
a
branch
,
and
is
withered
,
&c.
therefore
a
necessity
of
being
in
Christ
.
4.
Without
being
in
Christ
,
the
power
and
reign
of
sin
,
the
body
of
sin
,
will
not
be
destroyed
;
no
destroying
the
body
of
sin
,
by
any
possible
endeavours
,
but
by
the
influence
of
the
death
of
Jesus
Christ
,
and
a
real
fellowship
therewith
,
which
cannot
be
attained
but
by
being
planted
into
Christ
,
Rom.
6.5
,
6.
For
if
we
have
been
planted
together
in
the
likeness
of
his
death
,
we
shall
be
also
in
the
likeness
of
his
resurrection
:
Knowing
this
,
that
our
old
man
is
crucified
with
him
,
that
the
body
of
sin
might
be
destroyed
,
that
henceforth
we
might
not
serve
sin
:
All
the
proper
mortifying
power
that
Believers
have
of
the
body
of
sin
,
is
drawn
from
fellowship
with
the
death
of
Jesus
Christ
,
which
fellowship
ariseth
only
from
being
one
with
him
.
5.
The
Image
of
God
cannot
be
renewed
upon
us
,
but
in
Christ
:
As
we
have
born
the
images
of
the
Earthly
,
we
shall
also
bear
the
Image
of
the
heavenly
;
1
Cor.
15.19
.
So
Rom.
8.29
.
—
we
are
made
conformable
to
the
Image
of
his
Son
;
by
union
a
Soul
is
made
partaker
of
the
fulness
of
Jesus
Christ
,
as
all
grace
is
laid
up
in
him
,
and
of
that
fulness
partakes
by
measure
of
every
grace
from
him
,
John
1.16
.
And
of
his
fulness
have
all
we
recieved
,
and
grace
for
grace
;
that
is
,
Grace
according
to
the
pattern
of
Jesus
Christ
,
partaking
of
every
grace
in
him
according
to
the
measure
allowed
to
every
Member
and
Branch
in
him
.
6.
Without
being
in
Christ
,
no
duty
is
accepted
with
God
;
by
being
in
Christ
,
we
are
accepted
in
the
Righteousness
of
Christ
,
whereby
all
the
duties
of
a
child
of
God
are
accepted
with
the
Father
,
1
Pet.
2.5
.
as
performed
by
a
Principle
of
life
from
Jesus
Christ
,
and
offered
up
to
God
in
the
name
and
Righteousness
of
Christ
;
otherwise
let
praying
and
all
other
duties
be
never
so
strictly
,
frequently
,
devoutly
performed
,
they
find
no
accptance
with
God
,
and
the
Soul
is
not
bettered
by
them
:
Without
me
ye
can
do
nothing
,
John
15.
saith
Jesus
Christ
.
7.
Without
being
in
Jesus
Christ
there
can
be
no
holy
fruit
in
conversation
brought
forth
to
God
,
John
15.5
.
He
that
abideth
in
me
,
and
I
in
him
,
the
same
bringeth
forth
much
fruit
:
All
the
fruit
that
is
of
our
own
stock
,
comes
to
nought
;
but
the
fruit
that
is
brought
forth
in
Christ
,
from
implantation
into
him
,
is
precious
fruit
unto
Repentance
.
Reformation
,
Holiness
and
Righteousness
,
and
doing
of
any
good
,
unless
it
proceed
from
the
life
we
have
in
Christ
,
is
Pharisaical
,
and
comes
to
nothing
,
and
will
be
burnt
up
in
the
day
of
the
Lord
;
wherefore
sanctified
believers
are
call'd
the
trees
of
Righteousness
,
Isa.
61.
as
planted
,
engrafted
into
Jesus
Christ
,
whereby
they
bring
forth
all
their
savoury
fruit
unto
God
.
Vse
.
See
now
the
great
,
and
weighty
,
and
indispensable
necessity
of
getting
into
Christ
,
of
having
union
with
him
,
the
main
pillar
,
upon
which
hangs
all
your
comfort
;
do
what
ye
will
,
and
be
out
of
Jesus
Christ
,
and
't
is
an
accursed
,
loathed
sacrifice
;
do
what
thou
wilt
from
thy
own
stock
,
and
't
is
bitter
fruit
:
A
dram
of
what
is
performed
in
Christ
,
is
of
more
worth
than
a
mighty
,
daily
bulk
of
duties
without
it
;
not
hereby
to
lessen
a
believer
,
as
to
muchness
of
duty
,
but
to
shew
the
unacceptableness
of
all
duties
,
though
never
so
many
,
long
,
devout
,
till
a
poor
soul
performs
all
from
a
new
principle
,
and
power
of
life
in
the
soul
from
Jesus
Christ
,
and
so
a
New-Creature
.
Oh!
that
poor
souls
were
throughly
convinc'd
of
this
,
who
,
so
they
perform
duties
,
never
consider
this
.
Oh!
lay
to
heart
thy
dead
condition
,
and
the
infinite
necessity
of
getting
into
Christ
:
No
life
in
thy
soul
,
no
preserving
of
life
,
till
in
Jesus
Christ
;
nothing
of
the
divine
nature
upon
thee
,
no
destroying
of
sin
,
nothing
of
the
Image
of
God
upon
thee
that
is
saving
,
no
duty
accepted
,
no
fruit
unto
God
in
thy
conversation
,
till
thou
hast
the
real
experience
of
this
blessed
Mystery
in
thy
soul
,
of
being
one
in
Christ
,
through
the
spirit
,
till
thy
soul
knoweth
what
union
and
fellowship
with
the
Son
of
God
meaneth
:
Therefore
souls
that
fall
short
here
,
their
knowledge
,
profession
,
conversation
,
is
lost
labor
,
as
to
the
great
matter
of
eternal
life
and
salvation
.
2.
If
all
that
are
truly
and
savingly
New-Creatures
are
in
Christ
,
then
a
New
Creature
any
other
way
,
is
but
a
semblance
and
appearance
of
it
,
and
not
so
indeed
and
reallity
;
if
from
our selves
,
from
the
power
of
the
Law
upon
the
Conscience
,
or
upon
any
other
account
whatsoever
.
And
therefore
,
I
still
say
,
the
more
we
consider
of
this
matter
,
of
the
more
narrow
enquiry
do
we
find
it
to
be
.
There
is
a
semblance
and
likeness
of
being
New-Creatures
,
which
is
not
really
so
,
a
semblance
of
Holiness
,
a
holy
fruit
,
which
is
not
truly
so
,
but
will
at
last
wither
;
and
hence
,
all
the
withered
Professors
in
this
day
,
as
we
shall
presently
shew
.
I
shall
not
here
speak
of
such
,
as
pretend
to
no
manner
of
change
inward
or
outward
,
such
as
are
in
all
things
,
the
same
they
ever
were
,
as
such
as
live
in
known
gross
sins
,
they
have
no
appearance
or
pretence
of
claim
to
the
Title
and
Character
of
the
New
Creature
;
by
their
own
concession
and
acknowledgment
they
are
still
the
same
as
ever
they
were
,
therefore
,
not
so
much
as
pretend
to
be
made
new
;
to
such
I
shall
,
if
God
will
,
apply
a
further
word
before
we
have
done
.
Only
now
of
the
Semblance
of
the
New
Creature
(
falsly
so
called
)
but
not
really
so
.
1.
A
soul
being
convinc'd
of
the
damnableness
of
such
and
such
a
sin
,
from
the
Law
,
and
the
power
of
the
Word
upon
the
Conscience
,
that
a
soul
living
,
continuing
in
it
,
shall
never
enter
into
the
Kingdom
of
God
:
As
from
such
a
place
,
as
1
Cor.
6.9
,
10.
Know
ye
not
that
the
unrighteous
shall
not
enter
into
the
Kingdom
of
God
?
Be
not
deceived
,
neither
Fornicators
,
Adulterers
,
Idolaters
,
nor
Effeminate
,
nor
Abusers
of
themselves
with
Mankind
,
nor
Thieves
,
nor
Covetous
,
nor
Drunkards
,
nor
Revilers
,
nor
Extortioners
,
shall
inherit
the
Kingdom
of
God
.
And
such
were
some
of
you
,
&c.
I
say
,
from
this
or
the
like
Scripture
,
a
soul
may
be
convinced
,
that
if
he
continued
in
any
of
these
gross
wickednesses
,
he
shall
never
see
the
face
of
God
,
and
so
may
take
up
from
the
gross
outward
Acts
of
them
,
or
at
least
,
from
a
frequent
commiting
them
;
now
this
person
may
go
no
further
,
and
because
he
hath
left
some
special
gross
sin
,
he
thinks
himself
a
true
Convert
,
and
a
New-man
,
and
may
flatter
himself
with
the
conceit
of
being
the
New-Creature
we
are
to
set
forth
;
but
no
New
inward
man
,
no
coming
to
Christ
,
not
being
in
Christ
;
and
it
may
be
feared
,
many
Souls
are
under
this
dreadful
snare
.
2.
Such
a
kind
of
outward
Reformation
may
arise
from
special
Judgment
and
Affliction
upon
a
sinner
,
trembling
that
God
bath
smitten
him
for
such
a
sin
,
and
so
may
take
up
from
it
;
and
this
also
often
passeth
for
conversion
;
not
but
that
sometimes
God
begins
the
first
stroke
by
laying
his
hand
upon
a
sinner
,
but
I
speak
of
a
meer
taking
up
from
a
prophane
course
,
and
never
getting
into
Jesus
Christ
,
which
many
rest
themselves
in
.
3.
A
sinner
may
leave
some
sins
of
youth
,
as
inconsistent
with
riper
years
;
and
upon
that
may
take
himself
to
be
a
Convert
,
or
a
kind
of
New-Creature
,
to
be
changed
and
turned
from
what
he
was
;
but
no
forsaking
this
sin
with
loathing
of
it
,
as
against
God
,
no
brokenness
of
heart
for
it
,
and
the
root
of
it
still
unsubdued
in
his
heart
.
4.
A
sinner
may
take
up
from
some
gross
sins
,
as
inconsistent
with
reputation
,
credit
in
the
World
,
or
his
profit
and
wordly
advantage
;
so
many
debaucht
persons
turn
to
be
great
worldlings
,
and
yet
take
themselves
to
be
good
Converts
,
when
they
have
turned
from
a
sin
that
would
waste
their
Estates
,
to
be
wretched
worldlings
;
yet
these
go
away
with
a
good
opinion
of
themselves
.
5.
Sinners
may
take
up
and
reform
,
to
get
the
favour
of
some
Religious
Friend
or
great
Person
that
doth
countenance
Religion
,
in
hope
of
some
special
preferment
or
honour
by
them
;
and
so
get
a
form
of
Profession
,
an
Ability
to
speak
of
good
things
,
own
the
best
people
,
hear
good
men
,
and
yet
all
this
proceed
from
a
rotten
heart
,
as
it
was
with
Simon
Magus
,
Acts
1.
Hoping
after
great
gain
by
the
gift
of
the
Holy
Ghost
,
the
gift
of
Miracles
,
and
yet
was
in
the
Gall
of
Bitterness
and
bond
of
Iniquity
.
6.
Souls
may
have
a
kind
of
Conviction
,
and
taking
up
to
some
new
duties
,
in
the
sinful
neglect
of
which
they
have
long
lived
;
as
to
a
kind
of
secret
Prayer
,
in
observing
the
Sabbath
more
strictly
,
read
more
,
hear
more
,
(
things
good
in
themselves
,
when
used
as
means
to
find
Jesus
Christ
in
)
and
yet
may
continue
long
in
these
,
and
not
a
Gospel
New-Creature
in
Christ
;
never
humbled
so
as
to
be
emptied
of
themselves
,
and
come
to
Jesus
Christ
,
as
for
Righteousness
,
so
for
life
and
strength
for
the
performance
of
all
duties
,
and
subduing
of
all
Sin
,
and
therein
chiefly
the
Legal
New-Creature
(
so
called
)
doth
consist
,
in
taking
up
to
most
known
outward
duties
,
something
strictly
,
and
make
Conscience
of
them
,
as
of
gross
outward
sins
,
and
yet
no
Gospel
New-Creature
.
I
wish
there
are
not
too
many
such
.
7.
A
Soul
may
take
himself
to
be
a
New-Creature
,
from
some
good
liking
that
he
hath
of
such
as
are
better
than
himself
,
and
some
purposes
and
resolutions
to
be
better
,
which
purposes
for
a
time
carry
a
man
forth
,
till
new
Temptations
,
and
then
they
will
not
bear
a
man
forth
:
Thus
you
shall
find
many
sinners
purposing
and
strongly
resolving
to
take
up
,
to
avoid
such
courses
they
have
found
to
end
in
trouble
,
and
yet
fall
back
again
,
because
purposing
in
themselves
,
and
not
getting
into
Christ
for
strength
,
and
these
think
themselves
to
be
a
kind
of
New-Creatures
.
8
,
Yea
further
,
a
Soul
may
be
under
some
terrors
of
Conscience
for
a
time
,
and
yet
heal
and
relieve
himself
by
leaving
the
sin
outwardly
that
occasioned
such
terror
,
and
taking
up
to
a
greater
bulk
and
formal
course
and
round
of
set
duties
,
under
which
such
Souls
ensafe
themselves
and
settle
in
a
kind
of
peace
,
and
take
themselves
to
be
New-Creatures
,
because
they
were
under
terrors
,
and
forsake
some
sins
,
and
perform
more
duties
,
and
yet
never
healed
by
the
Blood
of
Jesus
Christ
,
nor
have
taken
root
in
him
.
Before
I
go
any
further
,
let
me
bring
home
,
if
the
Lord
will
,
these
things
to
your
Consciences
,
and
let
it
be
a
word
to
find
out
such
whose
conditions
have
been
opened
.
Such
then
of
you
,
who
haply
have
left
some
gross
sins
,
some
open
prophane
courses
,
because
the
Word
of
God
hath
glared
upon
your
Consciences
,
and
you
could
not
commit
such
sins
in
Peace
,
that
upon
some
special
affliction
have
taken
up
to
a
little
stricter
course
,
that
have
left
the
sins
of
your
youth
,
only
because
they
were
youthful
sins
,
not
suitable
to
riper
age
,
or
have
ceased
from
Lewd
Courses
,
because
of
your
credit
among
men
,
or
your
worldly
profits
,
sins
in
which
you
could
not
thrive
in
your
Estates
:
If
this
be
all
,
know
it
,
that
you
are
not
the
New-Creatures
we
are
speaking
of
,
you
are
far
from
the
Kingdom
of
God
;
and
if
you
come
no
farther
,
even
to
see
your selves
wholly
at
a
loss
,
and
so
get
to
Jesus
Christ
,
you
are
damned
for
ever
.
Yea
,
if
any
for
the
Favour
of
Men
,
or
some
outward
advantage
,
have
taken
up
a
seeming
profession
of
Religion
above
the
ordinary
rate
,
and
this
be
your
main
principle
;
know
,
thou
art
seven
times
the
Child
of
the
Devil
more
than
thou
wast
,
to
deal
thus
Atheistically
and
Hypocritically
with
the
great
God
,
who
will
one
day
lay
thee
open
to
all
the
world
,
and
thou
shalt
be
confounded
in
thy self
,
because
of
this
thy
abominable
iniquity
.
And
such
as
have
come
a
little
further
,
that
from
some
conviction
of
your
shortness
of
what
you
should
be
,
have
betaken
your selves
to
a
greater
bulk
of
duties
,
make
Conscience
of
many
sins
and
many
duties
,
and
so
you
have
setled
your selves
in
your
course
;
know
you
also
,
this
you
may
do
,
and
be
far
from
Gospel-New-Creatures
.
Such
also
as
rest
in
purposes
and
resolutions
,
wishings
and
some
wouldings
to
be
better
,
this
will
not
do
,
if
it
be
no
more
;
or
such
as
have
heal'd
your selves
,
and
have
not
been
healed
by
coming
to
the
Lord
Jesus
Christ
,
by
a
more
exact
way
of
some
outward
duties
;
know
it
,
and
be
convinc'd
,
that
the
core
will
break
out
again
,
and
you
are
yet
to
seek
for
a
well
grounded
peace
,
and
are
none
of
the
Gospel-New-Creatures
.
Now
another
degree
of
Mistakes
of
the
New-Creature
,
doth
arise
from
the
taking
of
Common
Grace
,
(
which
a
Hypocrite
may
reach
to
)
for
truth
of
renewing
,
sanctifying
Grace
;
and
know
,
that
every
Hypocrite
doth
not
know
himself
to
be
such
,
but
a
Hypocrite
is
one
that
appears
to
himself
and
others
,
to
be
what
he
is
not
;
he
takes
himself
to
be
a
good
Christian
,
a
Believer
,
a
New
Creature
,
and
is
not
so
.
The
ground
of
some
of
these
great
Mistakes
I
shall
mention
.
As
first
,
A
poor
Creature
thinks
himself
safe
,
because
what
he
doth
,
he
thinks
he
doth
it
all
with
a
good
heart
.
No
one
so
confident
of
the
goodness
of
his
heart
as
a
Hypocrite
,
because
he
knows
not
his
own
heart
;
in
that
great
Reformation
in
Josiahs
time
Jeremiah
speaks
of
,
Chap.
3.10
.
that
Judah
turned
to
the
Lord
but
feignedly
,
not
with
the
whole
Heart
:
Yet
the
people
thought
otherwise
with
themselves
,
as
't
is
likely
,
when
they
entred
into
a
Covenant
with
God
,
with
good
Josiah
.
This
is
that
most
poor
sinful
Creatures
do
bolster
up
themselves
with
,
in
their
Ignorance
and
Security
,
that
they
do
all
to
God
and
Men
with
good
hearts
;
whereas
a
renewed
Soul
doubts
of
the
goodness
of
his
heart
,
and
hath
matter
of
humbling
for
it
in
every
duty
.
2.
Another
mistake
of
poor
souls
is
,
(
as
to
the
Gospel-New-Creature
)
from
a
misprision
of
sins
of
infirmities
,
for
such
as
are
indeed
reigning
,
damning
sins
;
As
to
instance
,
to
lye
for
advantage
,
to
swear
petty
Oaths
sometimes
,
by
Faith
and
Troth
,
by
the
Mass
,
to
mention
God's
Name
frequently
,
as
a
by-word
,
crying
,
Oh
Lord
,
Oh
God
,
slightly
,
vainly
,
or
sometimes
to
drink
to
excess
,
or
the
like
evils
:
'T
is
common
to
hear
wretched
Souls
,
when
convinc'd
of
them
,
to
excuse
the
matter
:
Why
,
't
is
their
infirmity
,
whereas
it
proceeds
from
a
heart
wholly
unregenerate
,
and
under
the
power
and
reign
of
sin
.
Infirmities
of
the
Children
of
God
are
not
allowed
by
them
,
but
humbled
,
mourned
for
,
every
day
watch'd
against
,
the
root
of
them
they
endeavour
to
mortifie
through
the
Spirit
;
which
the
common
professor
that
calls
all
his
sins
his
infirmities
,
doth
not
;
Oh!
Souls
,
there
's
a
vast
difference
between
the
infirmities
of
such
as
are
indeed
New-Creatures
,
and
between
the
reigning
sins
of
natural
men
;
sin
reigns
in
its
peace
,
power
,
habit
,
in
the
heart
,
no
subduing
,
crucifying
,
purging
,
which
a
New-Creature
doth
and
hath
.
3.
This
mistake
of
the
New-Creature
doth
arise
from
a
misconcieving
of
the
reluctancy
of
a
natural
conscience
,
before
or
in
the
committing
of
sin
;
taking
it
for
the
Conflict
that
is
in
a
truly
regenerate
Soul
,
between
the
Regenerate
and
Carnal
part
;
which
mistake
usually
is
bottomed
upon
a
misunderstanding
of
that
place
of
Paul
,
Rom.
7.15
.
For
that
which
I
do
,
I
allow
not
,
&c.
Hence
,
say
many
unregenerate
,
graceless
persons
,
Why
though
they
do
break
out
into
such
and
such
things
,
and
omit
such
and
such
duties
,
yet
they
do
not
allow
themselves
in
it
;
that
is
,
their
Conscience
is
not
wholly
seared
,
and
so
make
some
resistance
,
and
this
they
take
to
be
saving
grace
;
a
gross
and
most
dangerous
mistake
;
now
take
such
a
person
,
and
he
hath
not
a
delight
in
the
Law
of
God
in
the
inward
man
,
as
Paul
had
,
verse
22.
doth
not
cry
out
as
inwardly
burthen'd
,
wretched
man
that
I
am
,
who
shall
deliver
me
from
the
body
of
this
death
?
No
such
daily
complaints
and
groanings
under
the
weight
of
it
,
No
eying
God
through
Jesus
Christ
for
deliverance
from
it
,
No
serving
the
Law
of
God
with
a
Renewed
inward
Man
,
No
walking
after
the
Spirit
;
so
that
unless
it
be
so
with
you
,
that
no
allowance
in
the
conscience
,
and
yet
do
it
,
it
comes
to
nothing
;
and
an
Hypocrite
may
and
doth
as
much
,
till
given
up
to
a
seared
conscience
,
past
feeling
.
4.
From
a
mistake
of
Faith
,
taking
that
for
sound
and
saving
which
is
common
to
a
Reprobate
;
such
as
James
describes
in
his
Epistle
;
speaking
of
Men
who
say
they
have
faith
,
and
have
not
really
;
a
Faith
that
believes
God
is
;
the
Scriptures
;
the
dying
and
rising
of
Jesus
Christ
,
and
all
other
Gospel
truths
,
as
it
pretends
;
yea
,
that
he
believes
on
Jesus
Christ
,
and
hopes
to
be
saved
by
him
,
as
well
as
the
holiest
;
and
upon
this
they
have
a
kind
of
peace
.
I
have
spoken
before
of
justifying
Faith
,
only
a
word
as
to
the
New-Creature
,
know
therefore
,
that
Faith
that
doth
not
teach
a
soul
to
deny
it self
,
that
doth
not
purifie
the
heart
,
that
doth
not
live
upon
Jesus
Christ
,
and
so
created
into
him
,
is
not
the
faith
of
the
New-Creature
,
but
a
common
,
dead
,
putrifying
faith
,
that
suffers
the
soul
to
putrifie
in
sin
,
and
works
not
to
the
cleansing
of
it
.
5.
To
instance
in
some
other
graces
;
as
namely
,
Repentance
,
which
souls
do
take
to
be
only
a
wishing
the
sin
had
not
been
committed
with
a
little
fear
and
sorrow
after
it
,
and
this
they
think
to
be
true
repentance
;
which
when
true
,
is
accompanied
with
loathing
of
the
sin
,
and
our selves
,
and
our
corrupt
natures
,
brokenness
of
heart
for
it
,
and
from
it
,
and
turning
to
God
by
Jesus
Christ
,
and
eyes
the
honour
,
patience
,
holiness
,
love
of
God
,
in
its
sorrowing
,
more
than
his
wrath
;
and
hath
for
its
effects
,
carefulness
,
indignation
against
it self
,
vehement
desire
after
more
holiness
by
Jesus
Christ
,
2
Cor.
7.11
.
6.
A
false
and
carnal
hope
of
Heaven
,
mistaken
for
a
gracious
saving
hope
,
deceives
the
soul
in
this
matter
:
Many
poor
souls
,
yea
,
it
may
be
feared
,
the
most
,
think
they
shall
go
to
Heaven
,
because
they
hope
so
,
and
think
they
ought
to
hope
:
Now
a
saving
hope
of
pardon
and
Heaven
is
rightly
bottom'd
,
namely
upon
the
riches
of
Gods
Grace
,
Titus
3.7
.
Upon
the
righteousness
of
Jesus
Christ
,
Gal.
5.5
.
Upon
some
special
promise
of
God
;
Upon
experience
of
God

purifying

as
I
may
have
occasion
more
at
large
to
speak
.
Oh!
this
false
and
carnal
,
cursed
hope
,
that
is
not
thus
bottom'd
,
serves
only
to
shut
up
the
heart
against
the
power
of
the
Word
,
and
a
saving
closing
with
Jesus
Christ
;
till
a
Soul
is
dasht
in
this
hope
,
it
will
never
get
a
better
.
7.
A
form
of
knowledge
,
especially
if
increas'd
under
the
Ministry
of
the
Word
,
may
much
deceive
a
soul
in
this
great
and
weighty
concernment
;
so
Paul
speaks
of
the
Jews
,
Rom.
2.20
.
having
a
form
of
knowledge
,
and
of
the
truth
of
the
law
:
Many
have
a
Catechistical
form
of
Knowledge
,
they
can
describe
what
Faith
,
and
Repentance
,
and
Regeneration
is
,
and
then
think
they
have
it
themselves
,
because
they
can
tell
what
it
is
,
and
do
believe
it
to
be
such
:
There
may
be
much
knowledge
in
the
head
,
and
yet
no
renewing
grace
in
the
heart
:
That
knowledge
that
is
saving
,
brings
with
it
a
power
upon
the
Soul
,
to
love
,
delight
in
,
to
experience
the
goodness
,
vertue
,
sweetness
of
what
it
knows
:
It
transforms
the
soul
into
the
image
of
what
is
known
,
2
Cor.
3.
last
.
It
is
spiritual
,
and
it
makes
the
heart
,
the
affections
spiritual
.
8.
A
Misconceit
of
the
grace
of
love
,
is
also
a
false
ground
in
this
matter
:
As
that
a
poor
soul
will
think
that
he
loves
God
,
when
he
hath
no
knowledge
of
him
,
nor
delight
in
him
,
nor
communion
with
him
;
nor
doth
love
his
Image
,
which
is
holiness
;
and
that
he
loves
all
,
every
one
,
whereas
much
envy
and
malice
reigns
in
the
heart
,
if
but
a
little
provoked
;
and
for
the
people
of
God
truly
so
called
,
they
hate
them
for
Hypocrites
,
Schismaticks
,
and
what
not
;
or
if
a
little
better
thoughts
of
them
,
't
is
not
love
to
Christ
,
and
his
Image
in
them
,
that
acts
them
,
which
is
the
nature
of
the
grace
of
love
.
But
yet
are
justified
in
their
conscience
to
be
the
people
of
God
.
9.
So
is
patience
,
humility
,
meekness
,
mistaken
;
some
natural
dispositions
are
most
patient
and
meek
,
and
these
poor
Creatures
are
apt
to
mistake
for
grace
,
when
't
is
nothing
but
meer
nature
,
and
more
candid
disposition
;
and
such
Souls
,
from
natural
temper
can
bear
much
,
and
it
hath
an
appearance
of
of
grace
;
but
yet
here
may
be
no
work
of
the
Spirit
all
this
while
,
humbling
,
meekning
the
soul
in
its
own
vileness
,
no
mortification
of
contrary
lusts
,
no
humbling
for
pride
of
heart
,
without
which
no
true
gracious
humility
;
no
meekning
by
the
Gospel
,
and
the
power
of
Christs
love
upon
their
Spirits
;
and
yet
upon
this
account
,
you
shall
have
poor
carnal
souls
pretend
much
(
as
I
have
often
heard
it
urged
by
them
)
to
the
fruits
of
the
Spirit
,
mention'd
Gal.
5.22
.
of
love
,
joy
,
peace
,
goodness
,
patience
,
temperance
,
when
t
is
nothing
but
disposition
,
ingenuity
,
or
from
civil
education
.
10.
As
great
a
deceit
there
is
about
the
fear
of
God
;
many
poor
souls
do
fear
the
punishment
and
wrath
of
God
,
which
is
all
they
do
,
and
then
they
think
this
is
the
fear
of
his
Servant
;
the
fear
of
the
Lord
,
which
God
promiseth
to
put
into
the
hearts
of
his
own
people
,
Jer.
32.40
.
is
a
fear
of
God
,
because
he
is
holy
,
because
he
is
gracious
,
because
he
hath
pardoned
iniquity
;
They
shall
fear
the
Lord
and
his
goodness
,
Hos.
3.
last
.
which
fear
is
mixt
with
a
sweet
and
blessed
love
to
God
,
and
consolation
of
the
Spirit
,
at
least
a
waiting
for
it
.
11.
A
misapprehension
of
good
works
,
causeth
a
mistake
of
the
New-Creature
;
many
are
convinc'd
that
works
of
Mercy
,
and
Charity
,
and
Justice
,
are
to
be
done
,
and
so
from
a
pittiful
nature
,
or
from
vain-glory
,
or
from
a
secret
thought
to
appe●se
God
,
or
from
Legal
conviction
at
least
,
they
will
be
ready
to
do
Charitable
works
,
(
things
good
in
themselves
)
and
this
they
think
discovers
their
Faith
:
And
herein
lies
a
common
deceit
in
the
vulgar
professors
of
the
people
of
England
:
Now
all
the
good
works
(
falsly
so
called
)
done
out
of
Christ
,
are
fleshly
,
and
not
accepted
with
God
:
A
Papist
,
and
many
a
carnal
Protestant
,
(
even
also
for
the
sin
of
his
soul
)
doth
much
this
way
;
but
good
works
,
properly
so
called
,
do
flow
from
a
living
Faith
,
from
love
to
Jesus
Christ
,
and
design
not
a
self-justification
,
but
the
glory
of
God
:
And
gracious
Souls
do
find
it
very
hard
to
perform
them
,
with
holy
ends
.
12.
Mistake
of
a
good
conversation
;
which
may
only
be
a
moral
conversation
,
civil
,
sober
,
righteous
as
to
Men
,
but
minds
not
Holiness
to
God
,
which
is
the
special
part
of
a
Gospel-Conversation
:
And
yet
the
most
of
people
go
away
with
this
,
that
they
are
believers
,
and
in
a
good
state
for
Heaven
,
because
they
have
a
good
conversation
,
which
they
greatly
mistake
.
That
which
the
word
of
God
calls
a
good
conversation
,
as
an
evidence
of
Faith
,
is
not
only
a
meer
outward
blamelesness
,
(
which
the
Pharisees
had
)
,
but
to
walk
with
God
from
a
Gospel-principle
,
from
Gospel
Grace
,
and
the
love
of
God
in
the
heart
,
chiefly
respecting
holiness
to
the
Lord
,
and
the
fear
of
the
Lord
upon
the
heart
;
now
a
soul
that
hath
nothing
of
this
may
be
outwardly
blameless
,
a
Jew
and
Heathen
may
be
so
,
and
nothing
of
the
grace
of
God
upon
them
.
Vse
.
Now
the
Lord
make
this
to
be
a
convincing
searching
Word
to
you
;
you
that
have
left
some
gross
sins
,
from
the
word
upon
your
consciences
,
from
afflictions
,
from
worldly
advantages
,
from
age
;
be
it
known
unto
you
,
this
you
may
do
,
and
more
,
and
be
still
the
Children
of
Wrath
,
in
an
unpardoned
condition
,
and
not
the
New-Creatures
we
are
speaking
of
;
yea
,
though
thou
hast
taken
up
to
New-duties
,
and
makest
conscience
of
many
sins
and
many
duties
,
thou
may'st
still
be
out
of
Jesus
Christ
.
And
you
that
call
your
daily
sins
(
which
have
dominion
over
you
,
your
infirmities
,
when
not
humbled
,
nor
mourn
for
them
,
nor
cry
for
strength
against
them
,
this
your
way
is
your
folly
,
and
the
Devil
and
your
own
hearts
greatly
deceive
you
,
yea
,
you
call
such
sins
your
infirmites
,
(
meaning
,
as
if
they
were
the
infirmities
of
the
children
of
God
)
that
cannot
consist
with
truth
of
grace
,
such
as
common
lying
,
and
common
prophaning
the
Lords
Name
in
your
mouths
,
and
neglecting
to
sanctifie
his
Sabbaths
,
and
living
in
the
neglect
of
secret
spiritual
Prayer
.
And
such
of
you
that
have
some
striving
in
you
consciences
,
before
and
after
the
sin
,
know
it
,
i●
may
be
so
,
and
yet
not
a
drop
of
saving
grace
in
you
,
no
regenerate
part
wrought
forth
in
you
;
and
yet
how
many
bear
up
themselves
upon
this
score
,
and
think
thence
they
allow
not
themselves
in
the
sins
they
commit
,
in
Paul's
sense
,
look
to
this
,
or
you
may
for
ever
perish
in
this
snare
;
I
have
given
some
marks
how
you
may
know
it
.
Take
you
heed
also
,
that
you
take
not
that
which
is
called
Common-Grace
,
which
is
common
to
Reprobates
,
for
true
grace
.
There
's
a
false
Faith
,
a
false
Repentance
,
a
false
Hope
,
and
so
of
the
rest
,
in
which
you
may
assuredly
go
to
Hell
,
you
may
have
a
harmless
conversation
,
and
do
some
good
works
of
Charity
,
and
yet
perish
for
ever
,
you
may
have
nothing
of
the
New-Creature
in
you
;
and
yet
give
all
your
goods
to
the
poor
.
In
a
word
,
you
may
leave
outward
gross
sins
,
have
convictions
of
wrath
to
come
,
have
purposes
(
such
as
they
are
)
to
be
better
,
take
up
to
New
Duties
,
have
common
grace
,
think
you
have
Faith
,
Repentance
,
hope
that
you
are
humble
,
patient
,
have
a
good
conversation
,
and
do
good
works
,
and
yet
not
be
New-creatures
in
Jesus
Christ
,
as
we
shall
further
evince
.
I
have
yet
one
more
deceit
to
discover
,
and
that
is
the
Mistake
of
a
Scripture
good
conscience
:
It
is
true
,
that
the
Apostle
in
1
Tim.
1.5
,
19.
puts
Faith
and
a
good
conscience
as
the
great
comprehensive
Duties
,
but
there
is
not
any
one
thing
more
mistaken
,
than
what
this
good
conscience
is
;
too
many
Preachers
press
this
carnally
,
and
carnal
people
go
away
with
it
,
that
they
have
Faith
,
yea
,
they
never
doubt
it
,
and
for
a
good
conscience
they
discharge
it
;
I
have
spoken
of
Faith
already
,
but
now
that
which
such
poor
seduced
souls
take
to
be
a
good
Conscience
,
is
only
to
wrong
no
body
,
to
be
just
to
all
,
not
to
purloin
others
goods
,
to
take
and
keep
nothing
but
their
own
;
they
take
it
to
be
chiefly
conversant
about
the
duties
of
the
second
Table
,
concerning
their
Neighbour
;
a
little
to
rectifie
this
soul-damning
mistake
.
1.
A
Scripture
Conscience
is
an
Enlightned
Conscience
,
which
before
was
shut
up
in
darkness
,
Eph.
1.18
.
The
light
of
the
Word
of
God
is
set
up
in
the
conscience
,
whereby
it
discovers
those
truths
in
their
power
and
worth
which
before
it
was
dark
unto
.
2.
A
good
Conscience
is
a
Conscience
searcht
by
the
power
of
the
Word
,
convinc'd
to
be
under
sin
,
and
guilt
,
and
pollution
,
whereby
trouble
doth
arise
in
it
;
God
laying
in
the
weight
of
guilt
,
the
damnableness
of
sin
,
the
pollution
of
it
,
upon
the
Conscience
,
so
that
the
soul
cries
out
,
what
shall
I
do
?
How
shall
God
be
pacified
,
and
the
soul
saved
?
3.
And
hence
it
is
an
awakened
Conscience
,
which
before
was
asleep
;
Awake
thou
that
sleepest
,
Ephes.
5.
The
voice
of
the
Spirit
doth
awake
that
Conscience
that
before
was
asleep
in
sinful
security
.
4.
A
good
Conscience
is
convinced
that
all
the
keepings
of
the
Law
,
and
keeping
a
Conscience
to
men
,
cannot
justifie
the
soul
before
God
,
cannot
commend
it
to
God
,
which
a
Second
Table-Conscience
imagines
it
will
,
and
so
in
peace
:
Paul
kept
a
Conscience
as
to
many
things
,
Acts
23.1
.
I
have
lived
in
all
good
Conscience
before
God
unto
this
day
;
meaning
,
I
conceive
,
from
his
youth
up
,
when
he
was
a
Pharisee
;
but
when
his
Conscience
was
convinced
and
awakened
,
and
came
to
see
Jesus
Christ
,
he
saw
that
all
his
keeping
a
Conscience
,
as
to
many
sins
and
Duties
,
could
not
in
the
least
commend
him
to
God
.
A
good
Conscience
is
sprinkled
with
the
blood
of
Jesus
Christ
,
Heb.
10.22
.
Let
us
draw
near
with
a
true
heart
,
in
full
assurance
of
Faith
,
having
our
hearts
sprinkled
from
an
evil
conscience
.
How
much
more
shall
the
blood
of
Christ
,
who
through
the
Eternal
Spirit
offered
himself
to
God
,
purge
your
conscience
from
dead
works
to
serve
the
living
God
,
Heb.
9.14
.
So
that
this
is
the
efficacy
of
the
blood
of
Jesus
Christ
upon
the
Conscience
of
a
Believer
,
it
pacifies
it
in
the
sense
of
the
forgiveness
of
sins
towards
God
,
so
as
it
can
draw
near
to
God
;
and
it
purgeth
it
from
dead
works
,
sin
,
and
pollution
,
to
serve
God
acceptably
.
This
is
a
good
Conscience
indeed
.
6.
A
good
Conscience
respects
all
the
Precepts
of
God
,
as
well
of
Holiness
to
God
as
Goodness
to
Men
;
which
the
Conscience
we
have
been
speaking
of
,
doth
not
.
Such
a
one
makes
not
conscience
of
this
great
and
absolute
Precept
,
Be
ye
holy
,
1
Pet.
1.
It
makes
not
conscience
of
purging
the
heart
of
secret
mourning
to
God
,
of
the
purity
of
God's
Worship
:
It
makes
no
Conscience
of
lesser
sins
,
as
we
have
shewed
,
not
of
all
sin
,
as
Herod
heard
the
Word
gladly
,
but
made
no
conscience
of
persecuting
John
to
death
,
when
he
stood
in
the
way
of
his
Lusts
:
Now
,
I
say
,
a
good
Conscience
respects
Precepts
of
Holiness
,
secret
as
well
as
publick
Duties
,
inward
as
well
as
outward
Sins
,
lesser
sins
as
well
as
greater
.
7.
A
Scripture
good
Conscience
is
much
taken
up
about
godly
sincerity
.
So
Paul
,
2
Cor.
1.12
.
For
our
rejoycing
is
this
,
the
Testimony
of
our
Conscience
,
that
with
simplicity
and
godly
sincerity
,
not
with
fleshly
wisdom
,
but
with
the
grace
of
God
,
we
have
had
our
Conversation
in
the
world
,
&c.
Thus
a
soul
that
walks
with
a
good
Conscience
towards
God
,
labours
to
approve
it self
in
all
things
,
with
a
godly
sincerity
,
to
do
all
as
unto
God
.
Lastly
,
a
good
Conscience
labours
to
keep
it self
pure
and
undefiled
,
it
is
accompanied
with
a
pure
heart
,
1
Tim.
1.5
.
Now
the
end
of
the
Commandment
is
love
,
out
of
a
pure
heart
,
and
of
a
good
Conscience
,
and
of
Faith
unfeigned
.
A
Soul
that
would
keep
the
Conscience
good
,
would
keep
it
pure
,
and
the
whole
inward
man
pure
,
as
a
Temple
unto
God
.
Vse
.
Now
see
how
many
ingredients
go
to
make
up
a
good
Conscience
in
a
Scripttre-sense
,
and
what
a
great
mistake
is
in
this
weighty
matter
,
and
how
far
abundance
of
people
that
make
conscience
of
their
dealings
with
men
,
conclude
thence
they
have
a
Scripture-good-Conscience
to
God
,
when
they
are
not
savingly
enlightned
,
their
Conscience
never
search'd
by
the
power
of
the
Word
,
and
throughly
awakened
out
of
a
natural
condition
,
never
humbled
for
resting
in
themselves
and
their
Duties
,
not
having
their
Conscience
sprinkled
with
the
blood
of
Jesus
Christ
,
and
purged
thereby
,
not
having
a
tender
respect
to
all
the
Precepts
of
God
,
not
to
walk
before
him
in
godly
sincerity
,
nor
with
a
pure
heart
:
You
then
that
are
short
of
these
things
,
you
are
wholly
to
seek
in
that
which
you
so
much
pretend
to
,
and
speak
peace
to
your selves
in
,
the
having
or
keeping
a
good
Conscience
;
you
have
as
yet
no
part
in
this
matter
.
2.
What
hath
been
spoken
of
a
good
Cnnscience
,
may
be
for
instruction
and
direction
to
the
Called
Ones
of
Christ
;
how
to
preserve
the
Conscience
good
and
peaceable
,
and
so
to
live
and
dye
in
the
peace
and
comfort
of
it
,
through
Jesus
Christ
our
Lord
.
Get
it
sprinkled
with
the
Blood
of
Jesus
Christ
every
day
,
and
under
the
searching
of
the
Word
,
and
awake
unto
God
,
and
pure
and
undefiled
,
respecting
all
the
Holy
Precepts
of
God
,
as
binding
to
your
conscience
,
so
will
the
conscience
be
tender
,
and
peaceable
,
and
God
will
witness
in
your
conences
your
acceptance
with
him
in
his
Son
Jesus
Christ
.
I
would
give
out
further
some
Notes
of
Tryal
,
Whether
you
rest
in
false
common
grace
or
not
,
as
to
what
we
have
already
spoken
in
so
weighty
a
matter
.
1.
By
your
never
suspecting
the
truth
of
your
grace
,
but
taking
all
upon
trust
,
never
doubting
but
you
have
Faith
,
and
do
repent
,
and
so
of
all
the
rest
;
that
soul
that
never
suspected
his
grace
,
may
well
fear
that
his
pretended
grace
,
is
no
more
than
what
a
Hypocrite
may
reach
unto
:
The
poor
called
children
of
God
,
are
exceedingly
jealous
their
Faith
is
not
sound
;
that
they
are
short
in
every
grace
,
because
of
the
woful
mixtures
that
they
find
;
more
Unbelief
than
Faith
,
more
hardness
of
heart
than
softness
,
more
Pride
than
Humiliation
;
and
so
of
all
.
Now
that
soul
that
goes
away
with
an
unsuspected
confidence
of
every
Grace
,
sure
flatters
himself
,
and
his
way
will
be
found
to
be
deceitful
.
2.
That
Soul
that
draws
back
his
conscience
from
the
searching
power
of
the
Word
,
when
it
gives
out
ways
of
trial
of
Sincerity
and
truth
of
grace
,
and
puts
it
off
,
as
if
not
concerned
in
it
;
this
may
well
be
speak
a
false
heart
.
A
gracious
heart
would
bring
the
Work
over
and
over
to
the
Touch-stone
of
the
Word
,
delivers
up
it self
unto
it
;
yea
,
is
much
with
God
to
search
him
,
in
point
of
a
firm
Work
upon
his
Spirit
,
as
to
any
prevailing
Iniquity
in
his
heart
;
as
David
,
Psal.
139.
When
he
was
before
the
Lord
,
appealing
to
him
,
and
opening
his
heart
to
him
,
speaks
thus
,
ver.
1.
Oh
Lord
thou
hast
searched
me
,
&c.
thou
hast
:
And
yet
,
ver.
23.24
.
begs
of
God
yet
further
to
search
him
:
Search
me
,
O
God
,
and
know
my
heart
;
try
me
,
and
know
my
thoughts
;
and
see
if
there
be
any
wicked
way
in
me
,
and
lead
me
into
the
way
everlasting
.
3.
False
Grace
is
discovered
by
its
easie
acting
,
When
you
can
easily
believe
,
easily
repent
,
easily
be
humble
,
and
so
of
all
others
.
Certainly
,
't
is
all
naught
.
There
is
great
contradiction
within
,
and
from
the
Tempter
,
as
to
act
Grace
begun
in
a
soul
;
yea
,
a
daily
supply
from
Jesus
Christ
must
be
,
to
act
any
Grace
livelily
;
which
the
common
,
pretending
,
easie
Believers
are
not
sensible
of
.
It
cannot
be
but
every
act
of
Grace
must
find
more
or
less
resistance
from
flesh
and
blood
,
which
is
so
vigorously
opposite
to
the
nature
and
acting
of
real
grace
in
the
Soul
.
4.
Such
as
are
never
humbled
for
the
spiritual
wickednesses
of
their
hearts
;
(
I
call
them
so
in
opposition
to
the
more
gross
and
fleshly
wickednesses
)
now
these
are
Hypocrisie
,
selfishness
,
spiritual
pride
,
vain-glory
,
unbelief
;
many
that
have
had
trouble
for
some
gross
sins
,
and
will
withstand
some
gross
corrupttions
,
through
common
grace
,
never
come
to
be
abased
for
these
depths
of
the
heart
,
which
are
more
hardly
discerned
;
I
may
well
enough
call
that
soul
as
yet
a
Hypocrite
,
that
is
never
humbled
for
the
Hypocrisie
of
his
heart
,
for
selfishness
,
and
the
rest
.
5.
Common-grace
measures
the
soul
chiefly
by
Negatives
,
what
it
is
not
,
rather
than
what
really
it
is
,
as
the
Pharisee
,
Luke
18.
—
I
am
not
as
other
men
are
;
pleaseth
himself
rather
in
what
he
is
not
than
what
he
is
:
I
am
not
thus
and
thus
,
as
abundance
of
debaucht
persons
are
;
but
whether
he
be
called
of
God
,
emptied
of
his
own
righteousness
,
sanctified
in
Christ
Jesus
,
a
New
Creature
in
him
,
he
puts
off
the
Examination
.
6.
Common
grace
doth
at
best
respect
a
mans
self
in
all
it
does
,
and
not
the
glory
of
God
,
which
it
sees
not
;
let
others
be
as
wicked
as
they
will
,
it
is
not
much
to
such
a
soul
,
let
every
one
look
to
himself
,
such
a
soul
doth
not
avoid
sin
as
sin
,
but
only
for
fear
it
should
damn
him
;
whereas
the
proper
nature
of
Grace
is
to
respect
God
,
his
Holiness
,
Name
,
and
Glory
.
Thus
have
I
laid
down
some
plain
Discoveries
of
the
pretended
New-Creature
,
that
which
I
have
stiled
a
Legal
New-Creature
.
I
shall
now
proceed
a
little
further
to
make
discovery
of
a
more
seeming
Gospel
New-Creature
,
yet
but
seeming
.
That
which
hath
the
nearest
resemblance
of
the
New-Creature
,
is
,
when
from
some
common
enlightnings
of
the
Gospel
of
Grace
,
and
some
overly
tastings
of
the
good
Word
,
the
affections
being
something
stirred
therewith
,
there
is
some
affection
expressed
to
the
Gospel
,
and
some
outward
Reformation
upon
it
,
and
a
Profession
above
the
common
formal
rate
taken
up
,
joyned
also
with
common
gifts
of
Praying
,
or
Prophesying
,
knowledge
,
&c.
Now
all
this
may
make
so
great
a
blaze
and
flourish
,
that
it
shall
be
hardly
discerned
by
such
a
Professor
himself
,
or
others
that
are
spiritual
;
that
all
this
may
be
,
't
is
clear
from
several
Scriptures
,
Heb.
6.4
,
5.
where
mention
is
made
of
enlightning
,
tasting
,
gifts
of
the
Holy
Ghost
,
and
yet
such
to
fall
away
,
and
never
to
renew
themselves
again
;
and
to
be
nigh
unto
cursing
,
verse
8.
and
verse
9.
Beloved
we
are
perswaded
better
things
of
you
,
and
things
that
accompany
Salvation
,
&c.
Implying
,
that
these
things
may
be
,
but
do
not
always
accompany
Salvation
:
So
the
Apostle
Peter
,
2
Pet.
2.20
.
speaks
of
such
who
had
escaped
the
pollutions
of
the
world
,
through
the
knowledge
of
Jesus
Christ
,
and
yet
again
entangled
therein
,
and
overcome
,
and
their
latter
end
worse
than
the
beginning
.
They
shall
escape
many
gross
pollutions
,
and
that
through
a
kind
of
knowledge
of
Jesus
Christ
,
and
yet
be
again
overcome
,
and
return
wholly
to
them
.
So
Matth.
12.45
.
Our
Lord
Jesus
speaks
of
the
house
swept
,
and
garnished
,
the
unclean
spirit
cast
out
for
a
time
;
some
outward
reformation
,
a
damp
upon
the
lusts
of
the
heart
,
and
knowledge
,
and
common
gifts
,
and
yet
the
unclean
spirit
returning
again
.
Examples
might
be
produced
of
such
Professors
in
the
Gospel
,
as
that
of
Judas
,
an
eminent
Professor
,
a
forward
follower
of
Christ
,
suffered
some
persecution
,
and
gifted
,
and
yet
proves
a
Reprobate
.
Simon
Magus
,
baptized
by
Philip
,
renounced
his
Sorceries
,
took
upon
him
a
forward
Profession
of
Christ
,
accompanied
Philip
,
and
yet
his
heart
not
right
in
the
sight
of
God
,
Acts
8.13
,
21.
It
may
be
more
than
feared
,
this
age
(
to
the
high
scandal
of
Sinners
and
Saints
)
hath
produced
many
such
,
that
have
been
much
taken
with
the
glorious
grace
of
the
Gospel
,
their
Consciences
something
awakened
for
Heaven
,
the
affections
stirr'd
,
have
attained
to
flourishing
gifts
,
and
yet
returned
to
their
first
nothing
,
turn'd
blasphemers
,
and
professed
Atheists
.
And
no
doubt
there
is
such
a
Majesty
,
Excellency
,
Sweetness
in
the
Gospel
of
Jesus
Christ
,
that
may
for
a
time
much
affect
a
carnal
heart
,
and
may
be
recieved
with
joy
,
Matth.
13.20
.
The
very
History
of
Jesus
Christ
dying
for
sinners
may
much
affect
;
that
he
will
freely
save
Sinners
,
the
glory
he
hath
provided
for
his
own
,
these
and
the
like
things
may
much
take
the
affections
for
a
time
,
make
a
soul
ashamed
of
gross
pollutions
,
and
yet
no
New-Creature
all
this
while
:
And
of
such
as
these
it
is
that
Christ
doth
prophesie
of
,
Mat.
25.
who
shall
have
Lamps
,
Light
and
Profession
,
go
along
with
the
wise
Virgins
,
wise
and
truly
gracious
Professors
,
not
be
discovered
(
many
of
them
)
till
the
Lords
appearing
,
and
yet
kept
out
of
the
Kingdom
of
Heaven
.
Now
of
all
others
,
these
have
the
most
resemblance
of
a
real
New-Creature
,
and
yet
fall
short
,
and
perish
for
ever
.
I
should
prevent
my self
,
should
I
at
large
discover
wherein
such
Professors
are
short
,
only
a
word
or
two
.
1.
Such
Souls
are
never
emptied
of
themselves
,
and
humbled
,
and
so
come
poor
and
nothing
to
Jesus
Christ
,
though
happily
they
may
be
able
to
speak
of
it
,
as
many
Souls
have
a
form
of
Gospel-Knowledge
,
and
can
say
,
We
are
nothing
,
and
yet
never
had
the
saving
experience
of
it
upon
their
own
hearts
.
2.
Such
Souls
have
no
true
brokenness
of
heart
for
sin
,
they
much
slight
it
;
yea
,
say
many
,
't
is
Legal
;
brokenness
for
sin
is
a
low
dispensation
,
as
they
will
stile
it
;
without
which
(
in
some
measure
)
no
saving
repentance
,
which
is
as
necessary
to
Salvation
,
as
believing
on
Jesus
Christ
,
and
Free-Grace
.
3.
Though
such
souls
may
reform
many
things
,
yet
there
is
some
unsubdued
lust
in
the
heart
,
that
at
last
breaks
out
,
and
carries
an
end
the
heart
,
as
with
Simon
Magus
and
Demas
.
4.
Under
all
such
enlightnings
and
tastings
which
may
for
a
time
affect
the
heart
,
the
heart
still
remains
unchanged
,
and
so
no
New-Creature
.
5.
They
are
not
rooted
into
Jesus
Christ
,
which
we
have
shewed
is
the
root
of
the
New-creature
;
not
rooted
and
built
up
in
him
,
Col.
2.7
.
Therefore
't
is
said
of
the
Hearers
with
joy
for
a
time
,
that
they
had
no
root
,
Mat.
13.
What
hath
been
spoken
as
to
this
,
may
put
the
more
forward
Professors
upon
a
close
and
diligent
search
,
and
to
see
if
their
Attainments
in
enlightning
,
tasting
,
knowledge
,
gifts
,
reformation
,
be
no
more
than
what
a
Reprobate
may
attain
to
,
and
to
lay
their
hearts
under
the
searching
Power
of
the
Word
,
and
to
open
their
hearts
to
God
,
and
cry
unto
him
,
and
keep
a
godly
jealousie
over
their
spirits
:
And
rest
not
till
you
get
poor
and
emptied
,
and
humble
your selves
,
your
hearts
broken
for
sin
,
every
lust
subdued
and
crucified
,
the
heart
changed
,
and
your
Souls
rooted
into
Jesus
Christ
,
by
a
saving
union
with
him
;
yea
,
to
give
up
your
hearts
to
what
we
shall
further
say
,
through
grace
,
as
to
the
plain
opening
the
real
Gospel-New-Creature
.
The
Gospel
New-Creature
positively
opened
.
I
Might
here
shew
you
how
every
faculty
of
the
Soul
is
renewed
,
as
the
understanding
,
by
the
infusion
of
new
and
divine
light
into
it
,
which
is
stiled
the
Enlightning
the
eyes
of
the
understanding
,
Ephes.
1.18
.
and
to
be
renewed
in
the
Spirit
of
the
Mind
,
Eph.
4.23
.
How
the
will
is
altered
and
changed
,
the
affections
made
new
,
the
conscience
purged
and
sanctified
,
with
all
the
powers
of
the
Soul
,
but
I
shall
not
take
this
Method
,
but
rather
pursue
a
more
familiar
way
,
more
particularly
shewing
the
make
of
the
New-Creature
,
in
reference
still
to
its
being
so
in
Christ
,
which
is
our
principal
scope
.
First
,
then
:
1.
To
the
making
and
framing
the
New-Creature
there
must
be
a
New-Nature
;
if
there
be
a
New-Creature
formed
,
there
must
be
a
New-Nature
to
make
it
so
;
hence
believers
that
are
in
Christ
,
are
said
to
be
partakers
of
the
divine
nature
,
2
Pet.
1.4
.
Which
is
wrought
by
the
incorruptible
seed
of
the
word
,
1
Pet.
1.22
.
Whereby
we
are
said
to
be
born
again
:
And
Jam.
1.18
.
Of
his
own
will
begat
he
us
with
the
word
of
truth
,
&c.
Which
seed
is
the
seed
of
God
in
believers
,
the
seed
of
every
grace
in
the
soul
,
which
is
something
of
the
likeness
of
God
wrought
in
the
soul
,
and
so
acts
the
soul
towards
God
,
which
is
stiled
the
infused
habits
of
every
grace
in
the
soul
;
this
New-Nature
works
contrary
to
the
old
corrupt
nature
,
and
it
is
stiled
the
regenerate
part
,
the
new
inward
man
,
Ephes.
4.24
.
and
as
soon
as
it
is
wrought
and
formed
in
the
soul
,
it
works
against
the
sinful
dispositions
of
the
old
Adam
in
us
,
and
there
is
a
new
war
or
conflict
begun
within
us
,
(
which
is
something
more
than
the
resistance
of
a
natural
conscience
,
as
we
have
shewed
)
I
see
another
Law
in
my
members
,
warring
against
the
Law
of
my
mind
,
Rom.
7.23
.
&c.
The
flesh
lusteth
against
the
Spirit
,
and
the
Spirit
against
the
Flesh
,
and
these
two
are
contrary
to
each
other
,
Gal.
5.17
.
And
under
this
daily
conflict
and
war
within
is
every
New-Creature
,
while
we
abide
in
the
fleshly
Tabernacle
.
This
is
the
first
peculiar
distinguishing
Workmanship
of
the
New-Creatures
,
there
's
a
new
seed
,
a
new
divine
nature
infused
into
the
soul
.
2.
As
there
is
a
New-Nature
,
so
it
follows
that
this
New-Creature
hath
a
new
life
,
it
is
a
Living
New-Creature
;
so
regenerate
persons
are
said
to
be
quickned
in
Christ
,
who
were
before
dead
in
sins
and
trespasses
,
Eph.
2.1
,
5.
And
The
dead
shall
hear
the
voice
of
the
Son
of
God
,
and
live
,
John
5.
And
they
are
said
to
be
alive
unto
God
,
Rom.
6.11
.
Christ
liveth
in
me
,
Gal.
20.
Which
new
life
must
necessarily
be
,
because
,
1.
Every
natural
man
,
(
as
hath
been
already
hinted
)
is
dead
in
sin
,
and
is
said
to
be
without
this
life
of
God
,
Eph.
4.18
.
The
life
of
God
departed
from
the
soul
,
whereby
it
had
Communion
with
God
,
upon
our
fall
in
the
first
Adam
;
therefore
,
if
we
are
recovered
,
we
must
have
a
new
Life
from
God
infused
into
us
.
2.
If
there
be
not
a
new
life
breathed
in
us
,
we
can
put
forth
no
spiritual
vigour
in
any
duty
towards
God
,
and
so
all
our
duties
,
services
,
worship
would
he
dead
fleshly
duties
;
this
I
have
also
hinted
in
shewing
the
necessity
of
being
in
Christ
,
if
a
New-Creature
.
3.
As
there
is
a
new
nature
,
and
a
new
life
,
to
begin
the
New-Creature
;
so
,
thence
there
's
a
new
breathing
:
The
Soul
falls
a
breathing
after
God
,
and
after
Jesus
Christ
:
As
the
Life
which
God
breathed
into
Man
at
his
first
Creation
,
is
call'd
the
breath
of
life
,
Gen.
2.7
.
And
as
soon
as
ever
there
is
life
,
this
new
life
breath'd
by
the
Holy
Ghost
in
the
New-Creature
,
there
's
presently
a
breathing
of
this
life
,
as
indeed
one
of
the
first
discoveries
of
it
,
(
as
breath
is
the
most
immediate
acting
of
Life
)
the
Soul
breaths
,
and
pants
,
and
crys
after
God
himself
,
Psal.
42.1
.
As
the
Hart
panteth
after
the
Water-brooks
,
so
panteth
my
soul
after
thee
,
Oh
God
:
I
opened
my
mouth
and
panted
,
Psal.
119.131
.
So
that
Prayer
that
is
spiritual
,
it
is
the
breath
of
a
living
soul
;
Paul
that
breath'd
out
cruelties
against
the
Saints
,
when
converted
,
and
made
alive
,
he
falls
a
breathing
after
God
;
Acts
9.
—
Behold
he
prayeth
.
And
this
doth
indeed
arise
from
the
very
nature
of
saving
grace
,
which
is
to
carry
a
soul
to
God
through
Jesus
Christ
,
to
set
it
a
longing
not
only
after
mercy
,
and
pardon
,
and
peace
,
but
after
God
himself
,
Psal.
63.1
.
My
soul
is
athirst
for
God
,
the
living
God
,
&c.
As
also
from
the
dissatisfaction
and
emptiness
the
soul
begins
to
find
in
all
Creature-enjoyments
,
which
now
it
cannot
(
having
had
a
view
of
Christ
)
be
satisfied
and
contented
with
,
but
the
soul
must
have
God
,
must
have
Jesus
Christ
,
must
have
the
likeness
of
Jesus
Christ
,
and
so
it
breaths
,
crys
,
pants
after
God
,
and
the
possession
of
him
,
and
communion
with
him
,
as
the
Souls
highest
perfection
.
1.
Now
,
therefore
,
before
I
go
any
further
,
let
this
be
well
weighed
:
Have
you
this
breathing
in
you
,
which
when
you
were
dead
in
sin
you
had
not
?
This
is
the
least
degree
of
Grace
,
if
the
Soul
be
not
thus
breathing
,
panting
,
thirsting
,
longing
after
Jesus
Christ
,
so
that
you
cannot
,
must
not
be
satisfied
,
but
in
the
enjoyment
of
him
;
verily
you
are
dead
,
and
the
grace
of
God
is
not
in
you
;
so
that
it
may
be
for
a
true
discovery
of
your
states
,
Consider
what
your
hearts
do
most
breath
after
,
what
they
most
earnestly
Pant
for
:
Oh!
Is
it
for
Jesus
Christ
himself
?
The
hearts
of
Carnal
Worldlings
are
said
to
pant
after
the
dust
of
the
Earth
,
Amos
2.7
.
That
is
it
the
carnal
mans
heart
thirsts
after
,
but
a
soul
in
Christ
breaths
upward
,
the
Treasures
of
Heaven
it
pants
after
,
and
will
never
be
at
rest
,
till
satisfied
with
them
.
2.
This
may
serve
to
distinguish
formal
praying
from
that
which
is
of
the
Spirit
,
in
the
Children
of
God
.
There
's
no
such
thing
as
the
breathing
,
panting
,
crying
,
longing
of
the
Soul
after
God
,
and
Holiness
,
and
Communion
with
him
,
in
formal
saying
of
prayers
,
the
thing
done
quiets
the
Conscience
;
but
for
God
himself
the
Soul
thirsts
not
for
.
Therefore
you
that
pray
in
forms
in
secret
,
and
content
your selves
in
saying
and
repeating
such
a
form
of
words
,
sure
you
have
little
or
no
breathing
for
Jesus
Christ
in
such
Duties
,
the
Heart
is
not
exercised
in
longings
and
pantings
for
God
;
ye
Souls
that
pray
out
of
forms
,
upon
terrours
,
and
no
more
upon
the
Conscience
,
but
you
thirst
not
,
breath
not
after
God
himself
,
you
may
be
short
of
the
life
of
God
in
you
.
3.
This
may
also
encourage
weak
Souls
,
that
have
but
broken
words
to
express
themselves
to
God
,
yet
your
very
Souls
do
breath
and
pant
after
the
Lord
,
verily
the
life
of
Christ
is
in
you
,
if
it
be
indeed
so
with
you
,
and
God
will
hear
those
breathings
in
you
,
Lam.
3.56
.
Hide
not
thine
ear
at
my
breathings
.
The
blessed
God
will
not
hide
his
Ear
from
the
breathings
of
his
poor
Children
.
Only
let
crying
,
panting
Souls
,
take
heed
,
that
this
breath
be
not
stopt
nor
intermitted
;
't
is
a
most
dangerous
thing
to
intermit
the
breath
of
Prayer
,
that
it
grows
weaker
and
fainter
;
it
will
be
a
sign
unto
you
,
and
a
sad
one
too
,
that
the
New-Creature
is
rather
decaying
,
than
encreasing
in
you
.
Be
not
contented
with
no
more
praying
than
will
just
,
as
we
say
,
hold
Life
and
Soul
togerher
;
that
is
to
live
at
a
very
low
rate
,
but
just
to
live
,
if
that
.
As
breathing
takes
in
the
Air
,
revives
,
enlargeth
the
Natural
Spirits
,
renders
the
whole
man
lively
and
lightsom
,
and
vigorous
,
so
doth
this
constant
Spiritual
breathing
with
God
,
and
after
God
;
it
enlargeth
the
Heart
,
revives
the
Soul
,
keeps
freshness
and
vigour
of
Spirit
in
the
way
of
God
;
when
God
comes
in
with
a
full
gale
upon
the
soul
,
how
sweetly
is
it
refreshed
,
how
doth
faintness
,
weariness
,
indisposition
,
go
off
,
and
the
Spirit
of
a
poor
Creature
is
chearful
with
God
,
and
blessedly
delights
it self
in
him
.
Oh
,
delight
to
be
every
where
,
in
every
way
,
where
God
breaths
upon
the
hearts
of
his
people
,
and
where
they
breath
after
him
.
And
let
new
living
Souls
take
heed
by
the
way
,
how
their
hearts
do
pant
after
the
Earth
and
World
,
and
the
contentments
of
it
:
This
will
as
much
damp
Spiritual
Life
,
and
breath
in
the
Soul
,
as
any
evil
whatsoever
:
Lay
your
hearts
to
the
fulness
and
sweetness
of
the
Lord
Jesus
Christ
,
and
breath
strongly
for
them
,
and
those
things
will
be
but
wind
and
vanity
.
1.
But
I
must
proceed
:
I
come
now
to
speak
of
the
next
discovery
of
the
New-Creature
,
and
that
is
,
it
hath
new
senses
;
That
you
may
see
how
fully
it
answers
the
frame
of
man
,
as
a
Living
Creature
,
and
what
a
New-Creation
this
is
:
As
the
New-Creature
hath
a
New-Nature
,
a
new
inward
life
,
and
hath
a
new
breathing
,
so
it
hath
new
Spiritual
Senses
:
So
the
Apostle
,
Heb.
5.14
.
speaks
of
the
Exercise
of
Spiritual
Senses
.
And
as
the
Natural
Life
is
exercised
and
preserved
by
Senses
,
so
is
also
this
new
Spiritual
Life
of
the
New
Creature
,
which
I
shall
mention
particularly
.
First
,
There
is
a
New
Ear
given
to
this
New-Creature
:
This
Jesus
Christ
hath
frequently
promised
,
that
he
would
open
the
deaf
Ear
:
So
Job
36.10
.
He
openeth
also
their
Ear
to
Discipline
,
and
commandeth
that
they
return
from
iniquity
.
The
hearing
Ear
,
and
the
seeing
Eye
,
the
Lord
hath
made
even
both
of
them
,
Prov.
20.12
.
By
this
opening
the
Ear
,
is
meant
the
opening
of
the
Heart
;
as
't
is
said
of
Lydia
,
Act.
16.
Whose
heart
the
Lord
opened
:
The
heart
is
shut
up
naturally
,
and
naturally
cannot
hear
the
voice
of
the
Spirit
,
till
the
Lord
himself
open
it
.
A
natural
man
hears
no
more
than
the
voice
of
a
man
,
and
the
Letter
of
the
Word
,
but
when
this
New-Creature
is
formed
,
he
is
ennabled
to
hear
the
voice
of
Jesus
Christ
himself
,
the
voice
of
the
Spirit
,
Joh.
10.27
.
My
sheep
hear
my
voiee
.
A
Soul
can
then
say
,
This
the
Lord
speaks
to
me
in
special
;
This
is
the
voice
of
Christ
that
calls
me
,
to
come
to
him
,
and
that
Soul
comes
;
Jesus
Christ
speaks
with
a
convincing
,
particular
,
powerful
Word
,
and
the
Heart
being
opened
to
receive
it
,
obeys
it
as
his
voice
:
And
so
in
every
Ordinance
,
't
is
the
voice
of
the
Spirit
of
Christ
the
New-Creature
waits
for
;
He
that
hath
an
ear
to
hear
,
let
him
hear
what
the
Spirit
saith
unto
the
Churches
,
Rev.
3.
last
.
Secondly
,
The
New-Creature
hath
a
new
seeing
eye
:
The
eyes
of
the
Understanding
opened
,
to
see
into
the
blessed
and
hidden
mysteries
of
the
Gospel
of
Jesus
Christ
;
saith
the
Apostle
of
the
Natural
man
,
Eye
hath
not
seen
,
1
Cor.
2.9
.
And
,
seeing
,
they
see
not
,
Matth.
13.
But
Christ
speaking
of
called
Disciples
,
saith
,
Blessed
are
your
eyes
,
for
they
see
,
&c.
They
have
a
new
sight
of
God
in
Jesus
Christ
,
which
sight
doth
abase
them
,
and
also
draw
them
to
Jesus
Christ
.
The
Vail
being
in
part
taken
away
,
they
can
look
into
the
things
of
God
which
they
saw
not
before
,
the
Scriptures
begin
to
be
unveiled
,
and
they
see
beyond
the
Letter
of
them
,
into
the
Life
and
Spirituality
of
them
.
And
thus
the
Lord
Jesus
promised
of
old
,
especially
as
to
New-Testament-days
,
I
will
bring
the
blind
by
a
way
that
they
knew
not
,
I
will
lead
them
in
paths
that
they
have
not
known
:
I
will
make
darkness
light
before
them
,
and
crooked
things
straight
,
&c.
Isa.
42.16
.
Thirdly
,
There
is
a
new
power
of
tasting
given
to
the
Soul
,
as
another
Spiritual
Sense
,
which
before
the
Soul
had
to
no
purpose
.
A
new
and
blessed
tasting
of
the
good
Word
of
Life
,
Thy
word
is
sweeter
than
the
Honey-Comb
,
Psal.
19.
How
sweet
are
thy
words
unto
my
mouth
,
Psal.
119.103
.
If
so
be
ye
have
tasted
that
the
Lord
is
gracious
,
1
Pet.
2.2
.
there
is
a
new
tast
of
the
bitterness
of
sin
:
The
heart
knows
its
own
bitterness
,
saith
the
Wise-man
:
A
Tasting
of
the
special
,
free
,
and
precious
love
of
Christ
:
A
tasting
of
the
goodness
of
God
in
mercies
.
And
thus
there
is
a
savoury
spirit
given
to
the
New-Creature
,
whereby
he
doth
delightfully
savour
the
things
of
Jesus
Christ
,
and
can
speak
savourly
of
them
to
others
.
Fourthly
,
Add
to
this
a
new
smelling
,
to
which
the
Spouse
of
Christ
often
alludes
in
Solomon's
Songs
,
Because
of
the
savour
of
thy
good
Ointments
,
Chap.
1.3
.
speaking
of
Jesus
Christ
,
who
is
a
new
and
precious
Perfume
to
the
Soul
:
Who
is
this
that
cometh
out
of
the
Wilderness
,
perfumed
with
Myrrh
and
Frankincense
?
Chap.
3.6
.
so
saith
the
word
of
the
promise
,
Chap.
4.6
.
—
His
smell
shall
be
as
Lebanon
:
And
when
Jesus
Christ
breaths
in
his
Ordinances
upon
blessed
Souls
,
it
is
as
sweet
and
delightsom
Perfume
to
them
.
Fifthly
,
There
is
a
new
feeling
wrought
as
an
effect
of
this
new
life
,
which
the
Soul
hath
in
Christ
,
when
a
new
Creature
is
in
him
.
The
natural
man
is
without
feeling
,
as
a
dead
man
is
;
let
never
so
great
a
weight
lie
on
a
dead
man
,
and
he
feels
not
,
but
now
take
a
Soul
created
into
Christ
,
and
he
feels
a
new
weight
within
him
,
Heb.
12.1
.
Sin
is
not
only
a
burden
,
as
to
the
weight
of
Guilt
,
but
every
corruption
(
even
when
the
sense
of
guilt
is
removed
by
Jesus
Christ
)
is
a
Weight
to
the
Soul
,
under
which
the
Soul
crys
out
,
mourns
,
groans
to
be
delivered
,
Rom.
7.24
.
Oh
wretched
man
that
I
am
,
who
shall
deliver
me
from
the
body
of
this
death
?
Sin
hangs
like
a
dead
body
about
him
.
Vse
.
If
the
Gospel-New-Creature
is
a
living
new-Creature
,
and
doth
exercise
Spiritual
Life
,
and
hath
new
spiritual
senses
,
Let
this
then
be
a
word
of
Tryal
,
to
discover
the
state
of
your
Souls
.
Can
you
say
,
I
that
was
dead
,
am
alive
?
I
was
once
spiritually
dead
,
without
feeling
,
did
neither
see
nor
hear
nor
tast
in
a
spiritual
way
;
but
now
the
Lord
,
in
rich
grace
,
hath
opened
my
deaf
ear
,
and
my
blind
eyes
,
now
I
have
heard
the
Lord
himself
speak
to
my
soul
;
now
I
have
seen
the
Lord
,
and
my
heart
is
taken
with
him
:
Now
I
savour
▪
the
Word
of
Grace
,
and
the
Ministration
of
the
Gospel
is
a
sweet
savour
in
Christ
to
me
,
the
Name
of
Jesus
Christ
is
as
good
Ointment
to
me
:
Now
I
feel
a
body
of
sin
,
and
groan
under
it
,
and
press
after
the
destroying
and
crucifying
of
it
.
Souls
,
If
this
be
not
your
Experience
,
you
are
dead
;
your
are
without
the
Life
of
God
,
and
Christ
in
you
.
Oh!
Go
to
God
,
Sinner
,
as
you
have
been
exhorted
,
and
cry
to
him
to
open
your
ear
to
hear
,
and
your
eye
to
see
:
Be
convinced
,
that
as
yet
your
Ear
hath
been
stopt
,
as
to
hearing
the
Lord
himself
speak
to
you
.
Oh
say
,
Wo
is
me
,
that
I
am
where
the
Lord
useth
to
speak
,
under
the
Ministration
of
his
Gospel
,
and
yet
he
never
spake
to
my
Soul
.
Doth
the
Lord
love
me
,
and
never
speak
to
me
?
Pity
,
Lord
,
Pity
a
poor
,
deaf
,
blind
,
stupid
,
unsavoury
Wretch
,
and
breath
life
into
me
;
and
then
wait
for
the
Lords
Voice
in
his
Word
.
Now
let
the
Spirit
himself
speak
unto
me
,
and
unveil
my
heart
,
that
I
may
see
into
the
Mysteries
of
Jesus
Christ
,
and
may
savour
them
upon
my
poor
Soul
.
2.
Let
living
Souls
in
Christ
exercise
their
Spiritual
Senses
,
keep
the
Ear
open
to
,
and
waiting
for
the
Spirits
Voice
,
be
prying
into
the
Mystery
of
God
in
Christ
,
and
all
Gospel-Truth
,
get
a
clearer
sight
of
Jesus
Christ
,
till
you
shall
be
infinitely
taken
with
him
,
and
love
him
for
himself
:
And
keep
the
heart
savoury
,
and
the
precious
scent
of
Gospel-grace
upon
your
Spirits
,
and
labour
so
to
feel
the
weight
of
the
body
of
sin
,
how
it
poiseth
,
polluteth
,
cloudeth
the
Soul
,
that
you
may
come
to
that
frame
,
to
cry
out
to
be
delivered
from
it
.
And
let
it
be
abundant
matter
of
Praise
to
the
Riches
of
Grace
,
that
God
hath
given
life
and
senses
to
your
Souls
,
which
he
might
have
left
under
the
death
of
sin
,
to
all
Eternity
.
5.
The
next
Discovery
of
our
Gospel-New-Creature
is
this
,
namely
,
He
hath
a
new
heart
.
So
Ezek.
Chap.
18.31
.
—
Make
you
a
new
heart
,
and
a
new
spirit
,
which
the
Lord
hath
in
Free-grace
promised
in
the
New-Covenant
,
Chap.
36.26
.
A
new
heart
will
I
give
you
:
Which
I
shall
precisely
consider
,
and
shew
particularly
wherein
the
heart
is
made
new
.
1.
The
heart
naturally
in
its
old
,
corrupt
frame
,
is
a
Rebellious
heart
;
Jer.
5.23
.
This
people
have
a
rebellious
heart
:
The
usual
complaint
of
the
Prophets
.
Now
when
the
Lord
makes
the
heart
new
,
he
begins
to
take
away
the
Rebellion
of
heart
,
as
it
naturally
opposeth
the
Word
,
Power
,
and
Spirit
of
God
,
and
the
heart
is
made
obedient
and
pliable
to
the
Power
of
the
Word
,
the
Spirit
's
Teachings
,
Isa.
1.19
.
If
ye
be
willing
and
obedient
,
you
shall
eat
the
good
of
the
Land
;
but
if
you
refuse
and
rebel
,
ye
shall
be
devoured
,
&c.
My
people
shall
be
willing
in
the
day
of
my
power
,
Psal.
110.
The
heart
of
it self
is
stubborn
,
obstinate
,
unwilling
to
stoop
to
the
power
of
Truth
,
to
yield
to
Jesus
Christ
,
but
when
it
is
made
new
,
it
becomes
of
a
yieldable
frame
,
to
the
practical
Obedience
of
Gospel-Truths
.
2.
The
heart
,
as
an
effect
of
the
former
,
is
naturally
hard
and
impenitent
,
Rom.
2.5
.
cannot
mourn
for
sin
:
But
when
't
is
made
new
,
God
makes
it
soft
,
Ezek.
36.27
.
I
will
take
away
the
stoney
heart
out
of
your
flesh
,
and
I
will
give
you
a
heart
of
flesh
;
which
is
a
soft
and
tender
heart
,
whereby
a
Soul
can
pour
out
its
complaints
to
God
:
Yea
,
the
heart
will
pour
out
it self
like
water
to
the
Lord
,
Lam.
2.19
.
The
heart
receives
impressions
of
truth
,
as
by
its
softness
't
is
more
and
more
wrought
to
a
new
frame
,
as
in
the
hand
of
the
Lord
.
3.
The
Heart
is
naturally
proud
,
and
makes
the
sinner
self-conceited
,
and
well
opinioned
of
his
own
condition
,
and
will
not
suffer
the
sinner
to
abase
himself
to
God
,
and
to
take
shame
to
himself
:
But
,
when
a
new
work
of
God
is
upon
it
,
the
sinner
humbles
himself
under
the
mighty
hand
of
God
,
bears
his
reproach
before
him
,
and
crys
out
,
Oh!
What
shall
I
do
for
an
humble
heart
?
Lord
,
take
away
,
subdue
pride
in
a
wretched
Creature
,
James
4.10
.
Now
he
becomes
a
poor
self-emptied
Creature
,
undone
,
helpless
,
and
to
a
full
Christ
he
at
last
goes
.
4.
The
Heart
is
naturally
Hypocritical
:
The
Hypocrite
in
heart
heaps
up
wrath
,
Job
36.13
.
Now
when
God
makes
the
Heart
new
,
then
it
begins
to
be
sincere
,
in
some
good
measure
,
for
God
;
before
the
poor
deceived
sinner
thought
he
did
all
with
a
good
heart
,
that
he
did
bear
much
upon
,
that
he
did
all
with
a
good
heart
;
but
when
God
shews
him
his
heart
by
the
Candle
of
his
Word
and
Spirit
,
then
the
poor
Creature
sees
what
a
Hell
of
Hypocrisie
was
,
and
is
within
him
;
that
he
acted
in
all
his
Duties
,
as
from
himself
,
so
to
himself
,
and
not
uprightly
unto
God
:
But
when
the
Lord
new
frames
the
heart
,
then
the
Soul
is
after
new
,
sincere
,
holy
aims
for
God
in
all
it
does
,
is
most
abased
for
selfish
and
hypocritical
mixtures
,
and
would
account
nothing
well
done
,
but
as
God
is
designed
in
it
,
and
labours
to
walk
in
simplicity
of
heart
,
and
godly
sincerity
,
as
of
God
,
and
in
the
sight
of
God
,
&c.
2
Cor.
1.12
.
5.
The
old
heart
is
full
of
all
uncleanness
and
impurity
,
and
cares
not
to
be
cleansed
:
So
saith
Christ
to
the
Jews
,
Matth.
23.27
.
Within
you
are
full
of
dead
mens
bones
,
(
rottenness
)
and
of
all
uncleanness
.
But
now
when
the
New-Creature
is
forming
up
,
then
the
heart
is
after
purifying
;
Purifie
your
hearts
,
ye
double
minded
,
James
4.8
.
Then
what
a
blessedness
would
a
pure
heart
be
,
saith
a
poor
creature
?
Oh!
that
my
heart
were
cleansed
!
Wash
thine
heart
,
saith
God
,
Jer.
4.14
.
Oh!
that
it
were
washed
,
saith
the
New-Creature
!
And
this
is
one
of
the
most
special
works
a
New-Creature
will
be
after
,
as
he
is
more
formed
up
in
Holiness
,
to
keep
the
heart
pure
,
as
a
Temple
for
God
.
6.
The
Heart
naturally
is
dead
,
as
already
hinted
,
and
feels
not
its
own
deadness
;
but
when
renewed
,
then
the
heart
doth
live
that
seeks
God
,
Psalm
22.26
.
It
feels
,
and
mourns
over
its
own
deadness
,
and
crys
out
,
Quicken
,
Oh
quicken
me
,
Oh
God!
No
Duty
is
well
performed
then
,
but
as
the
Heart
lives
,
in
some
measure
in
that
Duty
.
Now
it
feels
its
own
burdens
,
pollutions
,
lusts
,
corruptions
,
carnality
,
earthiness
,
and
bewails
it
before
the
Lord
.
7.
The
Heart
is
naturally
divided
between
Christ
and
the
World
,
Christ
and
Lusts
,
Hosea
10.2
.
Their
heart
is
divided
:
But
under
its
renewings
,
the
heart
,
as
to
the
main
bent
of
it
,
makes
a
whole
close
with
Christ
;
the
great
business
of
a
Soul
then
is
,
to
give
the
whole
heart
up
to
Christ
,
and
fears
he
can
never
do
it
fully
and
singly
enough
;
and
when
the
heart
lusteth
after
other
things
,
so
far
as
it
is
renewed
,
it
is
fetcht
in
again
to
Jesus
Christ
.
8.
The
heart
of
it self
is
unbelieving
:
Take
heed
lest
there
be
in
you
an
heart
of
unbelief
,
Hebr.
3.
Now
when
the
heart
is
made
New
,
there
is
a
Work
of
Faith
with
power
,
2
Thess.
1.11
.
And
then
the
soul
is
made
sensible
of
that
bitter
root
of
Unbelief
,
that
is
naturally
in
their
hearts
,
and
they
find
it
the
hardest
work
in
the
world
,
to
believe
on
the
Lord
Jesus
Christ
for
the
remission
of
sins
,
to
fix
on
Promises
,
and
that
a
believing
heart
is
a
special
gift
of
God
,
and
a
work
of
the
Spirit
;
which
while
a
poor
sinner
was
shut
up
under
Unbelief
,
he
felt
not
.
Vse
1.
To
unchanged
persons
,
who
are
the
same
in
heart
as
ever
they
were
;
Oh
,
learn
by
what
hath
been
opened
,
what
is
the
natural
make
and
frame
of
them
:
There
is
in
you
a
Rebellious
heart
against
the
Lord
,
and
wilful
obstidacy
against
his
Word
and
Spirit
,
and
therefore
't
is
that
you
cast
the
Word
of
the
Lord
from
you
,
and
in
your
hearts
despise
it
,
and
say
,
This
is
not
the
Word
of
the
Lord
,
and
we
will
not
obey
it
:
You
have
hard
and
impenitent
hearts
,
and
therefore
you
do
not
mourn
for
sin
;
you
have
proud
hearts
,
and
are
well-conceited
of
your
condition
,
though
damnable
,
and
therefore
you
do
not
humble
your selves
to
God
;
you
have
Hypocritical
Hearts
,
and
see
it
not
full
of
Hell
,
of
Uncleanness
,
dead
in
sin
,
and
without
feeling
,
a
heart
divided
between
Christ
and
the
World
,
unbelieving
,
and
yet
say
,
you
have
Faith
:
If
thou
canst
not
make
out
a
Newness
upon
thy
heart
,
as
we
have
shewed
,
thou
hast
still
thine
old
heart
,
with
its
lusts
,
and
thy
estate
is
as
yet
damnable
,
let
thy
Knowledge
,
Profession
,
Outward-blamelessness
,
be
what
it
will
.
2.
Oh
,
therefore
,
let
this
Word
be
yet
for
further
Tryal
of
your
Estate
.
Can
you
say
to
the
praise
of
free
and
rich
Grace
,
that
God
hath
in
some
measure
taken
away
your
Rebellious
Heart
from
you
,
and
you
can
stoop
and
yield
to
the
power
of
Truth
,
and
rejoyce
in
it
,
that
God
hath
made
your
heart
soft
in
some
measure
,
and
the
Pride
of
your
hearts
,
in
the
false
conceit
you
had
of
your selves
,
hath
a
stroak
from
God
upon
it
,
that
God
hath
shewed
you
your
deep
and
cursed
Hypocrisie
,
and
how
your
heart
was
divided
,
and
was
wholly
unbelieving
;
and
that
the
Remnants
of
these
wickednesses
in
you
,
of
heart
rebellion
,
hardness
,
pride
,
hypocrisie
,
pollution
,
unbelief
,
are
your
greatest
burden
,
and
you
mourn
over
them
daily
.
If
this
be
not
your
Experience
,
let
that
man
or
woman
know
,
he
or
she
is
a
Hypocrite
and
Unbeliever
,
and
sees
it
not
,
&c.
3.
Therefore
,
let
it
convince
you
,
and
exhort
you
to
go
and
fall
down
before
the
Lord
,
and
beg
him
to
open
your
hearts
(
which
naturally
are
shut
up
in
Darkness
)
and
to
abase
you
in
the
sense
of
your
Rebellion
,
and
that
he
would
even
do
this
for
you
in
much
Mercy
,
to
take
away
a
rebellious
,
hard
,
proud
heart
from
you
,
and
would
make
your
hearts
pliable
to
the
Word
,
and
make
them
soft
and
humble
before
him
,
and
to
close
with
the
whole
heart
with
Jesus
Christ
,
through
a
work
of
Faith
upon
you
.
Do
this
in
the
fear
of
the
Lord
,
and
through
his
Grace
coming
upon
you
,
and
see
what
God
will
do
for
you
;
and
you
will
be
your
own
wonders
,
that
ever
such
abominations
should
lye
hid
in
your
hearts
,
and
yet
you
not
be
confounded
in
your selves
in
the
sense
of
them
.
4.
Let
Souls
that
are
through
infinite
grace
,
under
some
heart-renewings
,
know
that
they
have
never
done
with
this
Work
,
till
they
come
to
Glory
:
Yea
,
Soul
,
thou
hast
depths
of
rebellion
,
pride
,
hypocrisie
,
pollution
,
unbelief
,
which
yet
thou
hast
not
reach'd
to
;
and
therefore
as
thou
must
ascribe
all
to
Grace
,
for
what
the
Lord
hath
done
upon
thee
,
and
remember
,
to
thy
greater
humbling
,
how
much
adoe
the
Lord
had
with
thee
,
to
bring
thy
heart
under
so
much
as
it
is
;
so
to
consider
,
that
the
Candle
of
the
Lord
must
more
and
more
search
thy
dark
and
deep
heart
,
and
't
is
to
be
thy
daily
work
,
or
else
all
these
evils
will
again
much
prevail
upon
thee
.
Love
therefore
a
searching
Word
from
the
Servants
of
Christ
that
are
over
you
.
6.
The
next
Discovery
of
the
Gospel
New-Creature
is
this
;
namely
,
The
Gospel
New-Creature
hath
New
Affections
.
Briefly
to
instance
in
some
of
the
chief
.
1.
The
New-Creature
hath
new
fear
:
The
fear
of
an
eternal
Condition
,
that
first
usually
seizeth
upon
a
convinced
sinner
;
the
fear
of
a
just
and
angry
God
against
sin
;
and
,
at
last
,
upon
its
renewing
,
a
holy
,
awful
fear
of
God
,
as
great
,
and
holy
,
and
good
;
a
fear
of
sinning
against
him
,
and
that
because
he
is
gracious
.
Naturally
this
affection
of
fear
in
a
carnal
heart
is
conversant
about
the
loss
of
outward
things
,
about
shame
in
the
World
,
and
the
like
;
and
so
far
as
it
respects
God
,
his
Soul
,
't
is
a
slavish
fear
of
breaking
out
of
some
grosser
sins
only
,
lest
God
should
damn
him
;
but
not
fearing
the
Lord
with
a
gracious
Son-like
fear
,
a
fear
that
purifies
the
Heart
,
a
fear
that
is
mixt
with
a
blessed
love
of
God
,
and
delight
in
his
ways
.
2.
The
Heart
is
exercised
with
new
Sorrow
:
A
godly
sorrowing
for
sin
,
such
sins
which
were
once
the
delight
of
the
Heart
;
such
a
sorrowing
that
works
an
Indignation
against
the
Darling
sins
,
a
taking
of
a
kind
of
Revenge
of
our selves
for
it
,
a
vehement
desire
after
pleasing
of
God
and
Holiness
,
2
Cor.
7.11
.
There
is
a
sorrowing
over
a
crucified
Christ
,
and
a
sorrowing
after
him
;
and
well
is
a
poor
soul
,
when
it
can
go
in
secret
,
and
have
this
affection
most
exercised
with
sighs
,
and
groans
,
and
tears
,
and
sad
complaints
against
it self
.
3.
There
is
a
new
joy
by
degrees
instilled
in
the
Soul
,
of
which
though
there
are
various
measures
;
to
the
Children
of
God
,
yet
every
New-Creature
can
go
thus
far
,
though
not
in
that
vigour
of
Spirit
he
would
do
,
that
(
when
the
Spirit
is
free
from
great
distempers
)
it
can
say
,
he
hath
some
joy
that
he
is
deliver'd
from
the
dominion
and
thraldom
of
lusts
,
that
't
is
its
joy
to
go
before
God
;
I
will
go
unto
God
my
exceeding
joy
,
Psal.
43.4
.
Even
when
under
some
disquietness
of
Spirit
;
as
verse
2.
Why
dost
thou
cast
me
off
?
Yea
,
will
a
poor
soul
say
,
God
and
Communion
with
him
,
(
could
I
see
his
face
)
would
be
my
greatest
joy
.
And
the
carnal
joy
of
the
heart
,
when
it
breaks
forth
,
leaves
the
soul
but
more
in
heaviness
,
and
the
New-Creature
would
have
his
joy
run
spiritual
.
4.
Upon
this
the
New-Creature
hath
New
delights
:
The
Word
of
God
becomes
his
delight
,
seeking
the
face
of
God
and
the
People
of
God
;
Delight
thy self
in
God
,
Psal.
37.
And
his
chief
delight
is
in
the
Saints
,
Psal.
16.3
.
The
heart
cannot
,
as
it
could
formerly
,
delight
it self
in
folly
,
and
in
vanity
,
and
in
vain
carnal
ways
and
people
,
but
is
rather
burthened
with
them
.
5.
The
Soul
is
raised
and
engaged
in
a
new
Love
:
The
Heart
is
taken
with
Jesus
Christ
above
all
things
,
and
loves
him
most
;
and
loves
God
because
he
is
Holy
,
loves
his
Word
,
and
loves
those
that
love
him
most
:
Every
New-Creature
can
say
,
as
David
,
I
love
the
Lord
,
Psalm
18.1
.
and
116.1
.
Yea
,
the
soul
is
brought
to
love
Jesus
Christ
for
himself
;
He
is
the
beloved
of
the
Soul
,
and
not
only
the
grace
,
and
peace
,
and
blessing
,
and
Heaven
that
he
gives
.
And
to
Love
Jesus
Christ
,
and
to
express
it
to
the
utmost
,
is
the
frame
of
soul
that
a
Convert
presseth
most
after
,
and
he
would
get
the
heart
more
purged
,
mortified
,
spirituallized
,
that
it
might
go
forth
in
Love
to
Christ
more
strongly
and
sweetly
,
and
enjoy
the
precious
perfumes
of
his
Love
more
constantly
.
6.
The
Soul
is
raised
to
a
New
hope
;
a
new
hope
of
Heaven
and
Glory
,
which
before
was
feigned
and
deceitful
:
Now
the
Soul
is
after
a
well-bottom'd
,
real
,
lively
hope
of
Heaven
:
Blessed
be
the
God
and
Father
of
our
Lord
Jesus
Christ
,
which
according
to
his
abundant
mercy
hath
begotten
us
again
to
a
lively
hope
,
&c.
Oh!
the
new
and
blessed
hopes
that
a
soul
doth
more
and
more
reach
to
(
when
distempers
and
darkness
is
not
upon
it
)
of
seeing
Jesus
Christ
as
he
is
,
living
with
him
for
ever
,
of
being
perfectly
sinless
and
holy
,
of
Joys
that
shall
be
endless
,
of
being
swallowed
up
with
divine
Glory
,
when
the
Spirit
of
the
Father
doth
breath
most
sweetly
,
and
mostly
raises
the
heart
to
glimpses
of
Heaven
.
Vse
.
As
we
go
along
,
we
would
put
things
to
tryal
;
therefore
say
in
good
earnest
,
Soul
,
Hast
thou
had
new
fears
upon
thy
Soul
,
as
to
an
eternal
condition
?
and
is
the
fear
of
sin
,
and
of
the
living
God
,
upon
thy
heart
?
and
doth
this
fear
keep
thy
Heart
awful
and
watchful
?
say
,
hast
thou
had
new
sorrows
for
sin
,
and
't
is
thy
Trouble
they
are
no
more
abundant
?
Can'st
thou
joy
in
going
to
God
,
and
in
the
Word
of
his
grace
,
and
are
spiritual
things
thy
delight
?
Doest
thou
find
a
heart-closing
Love
to
Jesus
Christ
above
all
,
and
canst
thou
love
God
,
because
he
is
Holy
,
and
thou
wouldst
be
like
unto
him
;
and
hast
thou
new
experienc'd
hopes
of
Heaven
?
Say
,
soul
,
Do
all
thy
affections
run
in
a
new
Channel
,
and
the
stream
of
them
,
in
the
main
,
turned
from
world
and
vanity
,
to
the
Ocean
of
God
in
Christ
,
his
fulness
,
goodness
,
love
,
grace
and
glory
?
and
that
when
thy
affections
,
or
any
one
of
them
are
diverted
and
turned
aside
,
thou
canst
and
doest
go
to
God
to
have
them
fetcht
in
again
,
and
thou
wouldst
have
all
the
affections
of
thy
Soul
run
freely
,
clearly
,
spiritually
,
fully
,
strongly
upon
Jesus
Christ
?
and
thou
art
humbled
,
that
they
are
carnal
and
worldly
in
any
measure
?
If
this
be
not
thy
case
,
but
the
affections
of
thy
heart
are
wholly
fleshly
and
worldly
;
thy
fears
,
thy
sorrows
are
about
worldly
things
,
thy
joys
,
thy
delights
about
carnal
pleasures
,
and
worldly
increase
,
thy
love
goeth
after
the
world
in
an
uninterrupted
,
unmortified
course
,
thy
hopes
going
forth
about
great
things
for
thy self
,
and
thy
hopes
for
Heaven
lye
at
all
uncertainty
,
and
thou
dost
suffer
it
to
be
so
;
verily
thou
art
unchanged
,
and
hast
no
part
as
yet
in
New-Creature-blessedness
.
Only
let
me
add
this
Caution
,
that
in
this
matter
of
the
New
creature
,
you
take
the
whole
frame
together
;
and
therefore
do
not
rest
only
in
this
,
that
you
have
had
your
affections
something
stirred
in
hearing
the
Gospel
,
some
fears
,
and
sometimes
the
heart
a
little
melted
,
and
some
joy
for
a
time
in
the
Word
;
which
affections
may
sometime
stir
in
a
soul
,
whose
heart
is
not
subdued
and
changed
,
and
so
it
wears
off
again
,
but
carry
your selves
back
to
what
I
have
said
,
that
you
mainly
look
to
the
Rebellion
,
Pollution
,
Hypocrisie
,
Unbelief
of
the
heart
;
that
these
be
in
good
earnest
,
still
a
subduing
you
.
3.
And
so
also
for
real
Converts
,
though
you
should
labour
to
preserve
your
affections
,
lively
,
savoury
,
yet
look
mostly
to
the
sincerity
and
spirituality
of
them
,
or
else
when
they
wax
faint
again
(
as
that
may
be
)
you
be
at
a
great
loss
of
your
Consolation
;
neither
do
you
always
measure
your selves
by
the
stirring
and
overflowing
of
affections
,
but
rather
by
the
abasement
of
your
spirits
,
hearts
,
purity
,
and
sincerity
,
and
the
holiness
of
your
affections
,
and
your
acting
faith
in
all
your
duties
,
which
will
procure
a
more
lasting
way
of
peace
and
comfort
;
though
when
thus
rectified
,
the
going
out
of
strong
and
tender
affections
is
exceeding
sweet
and
precious
,
and
most
desirable
by
all
Saints
.
(
7.
)
The
next
discovery
of
the
New-Creature
is
this
,
(
which
I
may
consider
with
some
distinction
from
the
former
)
The
Gospel
New-Creature
hath
new
thoughts
.
By
the
Thoughts
I
understand
the
pondering
,
musing
part
of
the
Mind
,
(
that
I
may
speak
plainly
to
all
)
the
imaginations
,
fancies
,
purposes
,
meditatings
,
musings
of
the
Mind
of
man
,
which
are
very
much
altered
,
where
there
is
a
new
and
divine
work
and
power
in
the
Soul
.
To
this
the
Prophet
speaks
,
as
to
saving
conversion
,
Isa.
55.7
.
Let
the
wicked
man
forsake
his
way
,
and
the
unrighteous
man
his
thoughts
,
and
let
him
return
to
the
Lord
,
&c.
So
that
a
Soul
returning
to
the
Lord
,
forsakes
his
vile
thoughts
,
and
doth
not
give
way
to
them
,
and
feed
them
as
before
.
So
Jer.
4.14
.
How
long
shall
thy
vain
thoughts
lodge
within
thee
?
And
Psalm
119.113
.
I
hate
vain
thoughts
,
but
thy
Law
do
I
love
.
To
shew
a
little
,
why
the
thoughts
of
the
heart
shall
be
changed
,
and
then
more
particularly
,
how
.
In
a
natural
heart
,
All
the
imaginations
of
it
are
evil
continually
,
Gen.
5.6
.
They
became
vain
in
their
imaginations
,
and
their
foolish
heart
was
darkned
,
Rom.
1.21
.
Where
the
thoughts
,
as
issues
of
the
lusts
,
do
rove
to
and
fro
at
full
liberty
,
without
any
effectual
controul
.
1.
As
first
,
Atheistical
thoughts
;
secretly
denying
God
,
his
Justice
,
Holiness
,
Word
,
or
that
God
will
not
judge
sinners
according
to
the
rigour
of
his
Word
;
Thou
thoughtest
(
saith
God
)
I
was
altogether
such
a
one
as
thy self
;
and
Psalm
50.21
.
The
Fool
hath
said
in
his
heart
there
is
no
God
,
Psalm
14.1
.
For
when
he
sins
against
him
presumptuously
,
he
doth
strike
at
his
very
Being
,
Justice
,
and
Holiness
,
and
either
saith
in
his
heart
,
There
is
no
God
to
judge
him
,
or
secretly
wisheth
there
were
none
.
2.
Prophane
thoughts
,
according
to
the
most
predominant
lustings
of
the
heart
,
do
act
a
natural
heart
;
as
vain
,
unclean
,
proud
,
worldly
thoughts
,
which
are
in
contrivance
to
make
provision
for
the
lusts
of
it
,
the
heart
even
continually
exercis'd
with
unclean
,
proud
,
wrathful
,
revengful
,
or
covetous
practices
;
therefore
saith
the
Wisdom
of
God
,
Prov.
15.26
.
The
thoughts
of
the
wicked
are
an
abomination
to
the
Lord
:
Out
of
the
heart
proceed
evil
thoughts
,
Adulteries
,
Murders
,
Thefts
,
&c.
Matth.
15.19
.
The
evil
thoughts
get
up
and
act
over
wickedness
,
and
then
they
purpose
and
contrive
for
the
acting
of
it
,
and
set
the
whole
man
on
work
to
make
provision
,
and
to
effect
it
;
which
though
s
being
drawn
forth
by
sinful
objects
,
or
the
working
of
the
fancy
,
and
the
Devil
working
by
both
,
do
break
forth
into
abominable
practices
,
unless
restrained
by
the
Lord
;
for
indeed
the
Fancy
,
the
imaginative
Faculty
is
the
very
Forge
of
the
Devil
,
where
he
frames
all
the
wickedness
that
is
brought
forth
.
Now
these
being
the
natural
actings
of
the
thoughts
of
the
heart
as
unchanged
,
there
must
necessarily
ensue
a
new
working
of
thoughts
upon
the
change
〈◊〉
O●●y
observe
by
the
way
,
by
this
any
sinner
may
know
how
it
stands
with
his
Soul
:
If
Atheistical
,
prophane
,
unclean
,
worldly
thoughts
,
carry
the
heart
an
end
,
and
rove
up
and
down
at
liberty
,
and
the
heart
even
delightfully
feeds
on
them
,
without
going
to
God
,
and
mourning
over
them
,
for
their
purging
and
mortifying
,
or
no
;
or
but
an
unwilling
resistance
of
them
,
how
dwelleth
then
the
grace
of
God
in
thee
?
verily
not
at
all
,
and
therefore
reflect
upon
thy self
,
for
by
this
thou
mayst
know
the
state
of
thy
heart
,
and
thy
lusts
are
yet
in
their
strength
,
and
rule
in
thee
,
and
will
post
thee
to
Hell
,
if
the
Lord
meet
not
with
thee
.
A
gracious
heart
hath
bubling
up
of
such
thoughts
,
and
the
Devil
casts
in
suggestions
to
set
them
a
work
,
but
they
lodge
not
there
long
,
but
they
are
resisted
and
purged
.
Take
therefore
these
Notes
of
a
carnal
unchanged
heart
.
(
1.
)
Such
a
soul
makes
little
or
no
conscience
of
thoughts
:
Thoughts
are
free
,
say
wretched
souls
,
but
that
's
a
Proverb
suggested
by
the
Devil
.
(
2.
)
Such
a
soul
is
not
humbled
,
doth
not
mourn
for
wicked
thoughts
,
but
only
looks
to
the
outward
man
a
little
.
(
3.
)
Such
a
soul
doth
not
bring
them
to
the
blood
of
Jesus
Christ
to
be
purged
.
(
4.
)
He
doth
not
conflict
with
them
,
resist
,
check
,
hate
them
.
(
5.
)
He
doth
not
watch
the
thoughts
of
the
heart
,
nor
labour
to
set
them
upon
holy
Objects
:
If
it
be
thus
with
thee
sinner
,
thy
heart
works
wickedness
,
and
thou
art
loathsom
in
the
sight
of
the
holy
God
,
who
knoweth
and
observeth
all
thy
thoughts
afar
off
,
Psal.
139.
and
will
one
day
reckon
with
thee
for
them
:
What
dost
thou
but
even
deny
God
to
be
the
great
searcher
of
hearts
,
the
All-seeing
God
,
who
carest
not
how
vain
,
vile
,
wicked
,
unclean
,
prophane
,
loathsom
,
devilish
,
the
thoughts
of
thy
heart
are
?
But
wherein
doth
this
newness
of
thoughts
shew
it self
.
1.
The
New-Creatures
Thoughts
are
changed
,
as
to
himself
;
who
thought
well
of
himself
,
as
to
Heaven
and
Happiness
before
,
but
now
seeth
himself
vile
,
and
hath
worse
thoughts
of
himself
than
any
one
in
the
world
can
have
of
him
.
2.
He
hath
new
thoughts
of
God
:
New
thoughts
of
his
Holiness
,
and
Justice
,
and
Greatness
,
and
Glory
;
Oh!
how
great
is
God
,
how
holy
,
how
just
;
and
so
is
greatly
abased
before
him
.
He
hath
new
thoughts
of
his
goodness
,
grace
,
and
love
to
poor
sinners
,
upon
which
the
thoughts
do
much
work
,
thoughts
of
admiration
and
praise
,
and
the
soul
delights
in
holy
and
gracious
musings
of
it
.
He
hath
New
Thoughts
of
Jesus
Christ
,
of
his
Person
,
Grace
,
Blood
,
Righteousness
,
Spirit
,
Word
,
People
.
Before
he
had
poor
,
low
,
empty
,
carnal
,
unsavoury
thoughts
of
Christ
,
but
the
heart
being
changed
,
and
the
Mind
enlightned
by
the
Holy
Ghost
,
the
Thoughts
work
towards
Jesus
Christ
,
the
Soul
hath
deep
and
serious
thoughts
of
his
grace
and
love
,
precious
thoughts
of
him
.
4.
He
hath
new
thoughts
of
Eternity
,
of
an
Eternal
condition
,
which
much
possess
the
Heart
what
may
become
of
his
Soul
:
What
will
it
profit
to
gain
the
World
,
and
lose
his
soul
?
How
he
may
treasure
up
for
Heaven
,
make
sure
work
for
Heaven
,
whatever
be
his
condition
in
this
world
;
and
the
serious
and
frequent
thoughts
of
this
,
do
much
poize
the
Spirit
of
a
Believer
.
5.
He
hath
new
thoughts
of
the
ways
of
God
,
and
Holiness
;
before
he
thought
basely
,
or
notionally
of
them
,
now
he
hath
real
thoughts
of
Holiness
,
and
of
the
ways
of
Jesus
Christ
,
he
doth
believe
,
and
finds
a
reallity
in
them
,
and
hath
good
thoughts
of
them
,
as
to
engage
his
soul
to
them
.
6.
He
hath
New
Thoughts
of
Holy
People
,
whom
before
he
esteemed
Hypocrites
,
and
Pharisees
,
Factious
,
and
the
like
;
that
their
strictness
was
their
Pride
and
Hypocrisie
;
but
now
he
honoureth
them
most
,
is
humbled
greatly
for
such
thoughts
of
them
,
and
prizeth
them
as
the
Excellent
of
the
Earth
,
and
their
company
will
be
most
desirable
,
and
most
delightful
to
him
,
Psal.
16.
Vse
1.
To
sinners
,
that
you
do
go
to
God
,
and
get
your
hearts
possessed
with
such
thoughts
of
God
as
these
are
,
how
great
,
how
just
,
how
holy
he
is
;
and
this
will
make
you
tremble
at
going
on
in
your
pollutions
any
more
.
Bethink
your selves
of
the
state
of
your
souls
,
and
of
an
eternal
condition
:
Saith
David
,
I
thought
on
my
ways
,
and
turned
my
feet
unto
thy
testimonies
,
Psal.
119.59
.
Bethink
your selves
how
short
a
time
it
is
e're
an
eternal
condition
shall
pass
upon
you
,
and
how
long
the
blessed
God
hath
waited
to
be
gracious
to
you
;
and
get
new
thoughts
of
Jesus
Christ
,
and
get
to
his
feet
,
and
make
a
resignment
of
your selves
to
him
;
and
then
your
thoughts
will
go
after
more
excellent
,
and
soul-quieting
,
and
soul-delighting
Objects
,
than
hitherto
you
have
been
exercised
with
.
2.
To
such
as
are
New-Creatures
in
Christ
,
and
have
New
Thoughts
of
themselves
,
of
God
,
his
Justice
,
Holiness
,
Greatness
,
Graciousness
of
Christ
,
of
Eternity
,
of
the
ways
and
people
of
the
Lord
,
let
this
be
a
word
of
Exhortarion
to
you
,
to
look
to
your
Thoughts
;
saith
the
Wisdom
of
God
,
Prov.
23.7
.
As
he
thinketh
in
his
heart
,
so
is
he
.
A
Soul
is
before
the
Lord
,
according
to
the
thoughts
of
his
heart
.
Oh
take
heed
of
giving
way
to
,
and
feeding
vain
,
unclean
,
unholy
thoughts
of
any
kind
,
and
let
me
press
it
upon
you
with
these
Motives
.
1.
Consider
,
that
such
thoughts
are
your
sins
,
lay
that
to
heart
.
God
may
justly
damn
a
soul
for
unholy
Thoughts
:
Know
,
thou
may'st
commit
Adultery
,
or
Murder
,
in
thy
Heart
,
though
it
break
not
forth
actually
.
If
thou
hast
done
foolishly
,
in
lifting
up
thy self
,
or
if
thou
hast
thought
evil
,
lay
thy
hand
upon
thy
mouth
,
Prov.
30.32
.
This
will
help
to
keep
thy
heart
in
awe
.
2.
That
God's
Eye
is
strictly
and
continually
upon
the
Thoughts
of
thine
Heart
,
Psal.
139.2
.
and
therefore
David
cries
out
to
God
,
to
search
his
heart
for
them
.
Oh
,
did
a
gracious
Soul
still
consider
this
,
that
the
jealous
Eye
of
God
is
upon
every
thought
and
motion
of
his
heart
to
sin
,
it
would
make
him
look
closely
to
the
Thoughts
of
his
Heart
.
3.
Consider
,
that
evil
thoughts
and
musings
of
sin
,
are
the
beginning
of
all
open
wickedness
,
Jam.
1.
15.
Then
when
lust
hath
conceived
,
it
bringeth
forth
sin
,
and
such
thoughts
are
usually
set
on
fire
by
the
Devil
.
4.
They
do
defile
the
soul
,
Mat.
15.20
.
Out
of
the
heart
proceed
evil
thoughts
,
&c.
These
are
the
things
which
defile
a
man
:
Which
defilements
unfits
the
soul
for
communion
with
God
;
they
make
a
filthy
puddle
in
the
Soul
and
what
a
case
is
a
poor
Creature
in
to
come
to
God
,
in
Duty
,
in
such
a
pickle
.
5.
Evil
Thoughts
do
pervert
the
Heart
from
God
,
which
should
be
fixed
upon
him
;
they
draw
away
the
strength
of
the
heart
from
God
;
they
suck
up
the
juice
and
marrow
of
the
heart
,
which
should
be
spent
in
spiritual
things
in
Jesus
Christ
.
6.
Such
Thoughts
do
grieve
the
Spirit
:
Nothing
more
;
the
Spirit
cannot
delight
to
teach
and
comfort
,
when
the
heart
is
mostly
acted
by
foolish
and
unholy
Thoughts
.
7.
When
such
Thoughts
are
acted
in
the
Soul
,
God
may
leave
you
to
the
power
of
them
,
to
break
out
to
some
grievous
fall
,
and
so
may
ship-wrack
your
peace
and
comforts
for
a
great
while
,
and
go
with
broken
bones
,
and
it
may
cost
you
much
bitterness
,
before
you
are
healed
.
8.
If
vain
,
carnal
Thoughts
,
are
not
resisted
at
first
,
but
given
way
to
,
they
are
hardly
check't
and
subdued
,
and
turned
upon
other
Objects
,
and
therefore
to
watch
the
first
Risings
of
them
.
Now
,
not
one
of
these
Considerations
,
but
may
make
a
Child
of
God
to
tremble
,
how
he
lets
forth
his
heart
into
vain
,
carnal
,
idle
,
defiling
thoughts
and
musings
,
which
do
so
much
wast
a
gracious
Spirit
,
and
lay
him
open
to
such
woful
dangers
as
these
are
.
To
help
a
Child
of
God
in
this
spiritual
Work
of
looking
to
,
and
a
holy
ordering
the
Thoughts
of
his
Heart
.
1.
Be
deeply
humbled
to
God
,
with
abhorring
and
loathing
for
Atheistical
,
unclean
,
proud
,
vain
,
foolish
,
worldly
thoughts
,
that
croud
in
upon
you
;
when
you
make
them
your
Burden
,
you
will
be
the
sooner
eased
.
2.
Delight
thy self
much
in
the
Word
of
God
,
not
only
in
Publick
Hearing
,
but
Daily
Reading
;
and
not
only
Reading
,
but
getting
some
good
word
upon
thy
heart
,
that
may
season
thy
thoughts
and
affections
:
Saith
David
,
I
hate
vain
thoughts
,
but
thy
Law
do
I
love
,
Psal.
119.113
.
The
love
of
the
Word
of
God
made
him
be
so
far
from
cherishing
vain
Thoughts
,
that
he
did
hate
them
.
It
doth
appear
this
was
a
special
part
of
David's
exercise
of
Spirit
,
to
get
some
blessed
Word
upon
his
heart
,
and
he
thinking
of
it
,
and
so
it
did
turn
into
the
sweet
and
wholesom
nourishment
of
the
New-creature
:
Oh
how
I
love
thy
Law
,
it
is
my
meditation
all
the
day
:
Blessed
and
holy
practice
,
worthy
a
gracious
Saint
indeed
;
you
have
one
word
especially
that
David
had
much
on
his
heart
,
out
of
the
Books
of
Moses
;
(
for
we
know
not
whether
any
other
Scripture
were
then
exant
)
't
is
that
of
Exod.
34.6
.
where
the
Lord
saith
,
he
will
proclaim
his
Name
and
Glory
:
The
Lord
God
merciful
and
gracious
,
long-suffering
,
abundant
in
goodness
and
truth
,
which
you
have
in
Psalm
103.8
.
Psal.
86.15
.
and
145.8
.
Happily
one
of
those
sweet
words
which
he
often
magnifies
:
How
hath
a
single
word
dwelt
upon
the
heart
of
a
Child
of
God
,
and
hath
kept
the
heart
savoury
for
Christ
.
3.
The
next
Remedy
against
such
Thoughts
,
is
,
Much
Prayer
,
diligence
,
fervency
,
pouring
out
the
heart
to
God
,
till
the
heart
melts
,
and
runs
forth
sweetly
,
spiritually
,
and
is
engaged
with
God
,
and
hath
a
sight
of
him
,
and
a
divine
impression
of
God's
Majesty
left
upon
the
soul
.
4.
Get
more
and
more
brokenness
of
heart
for
sin
;
when
the
Heart
hath
been
broken
,
't
will
not
so
easily
get
into
Vanity
again
:
At
least
,
a
Child
of
God
should
take
care
that
it
should
not
;
when
the
heart
is
broken
and
mourning
,
the
Spirit
doth
wonderfully
in
that
work
refine
the
heart
:
All
the
sleightness
,
vanity
,
defilement
,
distraction
,
that
comes
upon
the
New-Creature
,
is
mostly
for
want
of
this
.
5.
Mortification
of
that
Corruption
that
is
most
apt
to
stir
,
doth
much
cure
our
thoughts
:
Inordinate
Affections
are
the
Saints
greatest
Evils
,
and
do
bespeak
an
unmortified
heart
,
as
to
what
a
Child
of
God
should
still
be
pressing
after
,
even
to
be
dead
,
and
crucified
with
Christ
.
Those
that
are
Christs
,
have
crucified
their
Affections
and
Lusts
,
Gal.
5.22
.
6.
Contending
for
a
Spiritual
Heart
:
So
far
as
the
Heart
is
spiritual
,
it
acts
spiritually
:
'T
is
the
carnality
of
Heart
that
works
up
all
those
frothy
distempers
that
defile
us
.
Paul's
corruption
was
much
let
out
upon
him
,
when
he
cries
out
of
the
carnality
of
his
Heart
,
Rom.
7.
which
should
be
the
daily
complaint
of
God's
poor
Children
.
7.
A
great
help
to
the
preserving
the
Thoughts
of
the
Heart
,
according
to
the
New-Creature
,
will
be
to
consider
,
How
precious
the
thoughts
of
God
are
to
his
people
,
Psal.
139.17
.
How
precious
also
are
thy
thoughts
,
O
God
,
unto
me
?
How
great
is
the
sum
of
them
?
If
I
should
count
them
,
they
are
more
in
number
than
the
sands
,
&c.
David
in
v.
2.
was
considering
how
God's
Eye
was
upon
his
Thoughts
,
and
't
was
a
means
to
rectifie
them
,
and
then
David's
Thoughts
run
forth
in
the
sweet
and
blessed
apprehension
of
the
preciousness
of
Gods
thoughts
in
him
,
from
all
Eternity
,
and
in
the
ways
of
his
Covenant
towards
him
:
If
Gods
thoughts
to
us
be
holy
,
and
precious
,
and
ever
towards
us
,
the
thoughts
of
his
Servants
should
be
so
also
,
and
as
little
common
and
unsavoury
as
may
be
.
More
particularly
,
let
us
yet
consider
what
blessed
,
and
excellent
,
and
glorious
things
,
such
as
are
New-Creatures
in
Christ
have
,
to
exercise
their
thoughts
about
.
1.
Gracious
Souls
have
the
Attributes
of
God
to
exercise
the
thoughts
of
their
Hearts
in
;
the
Infiniteness
of
God
,
his
Greatness
,
Holiness
,
Glory
,
&c.
A
blessed
Exercise
for
Saints
indeed
!
So
we
find
the
Scripture-Saints
sweetly
taken
up
with
contemplation
and
admiration
of
the
Excellencies
of
God
himself
;
Thou
art
glorious
in
Holiness
,
Exod.
15.11
.
saith
Moses
.
But
Thou
art
holy
,
saith
David
,
Psal.
22.
Oh
how
great
is
thy
Goodness
!
Psalm
8.31
.
as
might
be
abundantly
shewed
;
and
the
exercise
of
the
thoughts
this
way
,
hath
a
powerful
influence
upon
the
Heart
,
as
to
its
abasement
,
purity
,
sincerity
.
2.
Saints
have
the
riches
and
freeness
of
the
grace
of
God
in
Jesus
Christ
,
towards
poor
sinners
,
to
be
taken
up
withal
:
Oh
,
the
free
,
rich
,
distinguishing
Grace
of
God
to
a
poor
Creature
,
that
was
posting
to
Hell
,
that
was
a
Rebellious
Wretch
,
a
vile
Hypocrite
,
the
worst
of
sinners
,
the
most
unlikely
to
be
converted
of
any
sinner
in
the
world
.
We
have
David
and
Paul's
hearts
swallowed
up
in
this
above
any
other
;
as
David
in
many
Psalms
is
in
the
admiration
of
grace
,
and
Paul
in
most
of
his
Epistles
makes
it
his
great
scope
,
as
the
great
Argument
,
to
be
not
only
believing
,
but
humble
and
holy
,
and
heavenly
,
all
their
days
,
especially
Col.
1.
and
Ephes.
1st
.
2d
.
and
3d.
Chapters
.
3.
Saints
have
the
unsearchable
Riches
of
Jesus
Christ
to
take
up
their
thoughts
with
,
the
Excellencies
and
Dignities
of
his
Person
,
the
Beauty
and
Glory
that
is
in
him
,
the
depths
of
his
love
,
the
matchless
price
of
his
blood
,
his
bowels
to
sinners
,
his
care
of
his
Churches
:
Oh
these
are
things
worthy
the
thoughts
of
Saints
indeed
!
4.
They
have
to
take
up
their
thoughts
,
the
glorious
blessedness
of
the
forgiveness
of
their
sins
:
What
a
blessed
state
,
a
state
of
forgiveness
in
the
blood
of
Jesus
Christ
is
!
Blessed
,
Oh
blessed
for
ever
,
are
they
whose
iniquities
are
forgiven
!
Bless
the
Lord
,
O
my
soul
,
who
forgiveth
all
thine
iniquities
,
&c.
Psal.
103.
God
hath
not
appointed
me
to
wrath
,
but
to
obtain
salvation
through
my
Lord
Jesus
Christ
,
1
Thes.
5.
Oh
blessed
extasie
,
for
a
poor
,
called
,
pardoned
Believer
to
be
in
!
5.
Such
as
are
New-Creatures
in
Christ
,
they
have
the
Mystery
of
the
New-Covenant
,
the
everlastingness
of
it
to
bring
their
hearts
to
,
and
to
work
the
Promises
thereof
upon
their
hearts
,
to
muse
on
the
returns
of
their
Prayers
,
to
behold
the
continual
Providences
of
God
towards
them
,
and
his
ways
of
mercy
and
kindness
to
them
.
6.
They
have
the
shortness
of
their
time
,
the
vanity
of
their
lives
,
the
certainty
of
Death
to
muse
on
;
Lord
,
make
me
to
know
the
number
of
my
days
,
that
I
may
know
how
frail
I
am
:
Yea
,
they
have
a
future
and
eternal
state
of
Blessedness
and
Glory
to
have
their
thoughts
swallowed
up
into
:
That
they
shall
one
day
see
Jesus
Christ
,
as
he
is
in
all
his
glory
,
and
never
look
off
him
any
more
:
They
shall
do
nothing
else
but
love
him
,
enjoy
perpetual
communion
of
Saints
,
be
praising
,
admiring
,
adoring
the
blessed
Majesty
of
God
for
ever
and
ever
.
Oh!
If
there
are
such
excellent
and
blessed
things
,
for
the
thoughts
of
the
holy-ones
of
God
to
be
exercised
in
;
Oh!
what
base
Dunghil
hearts
have
such
that
pore
upon
nothing
but
earth
and
filth
.
Let
it
not
be
so
with
such
that
have
tasted
the
good
and
sweetness
of
those
things
,
that
have
real
substantial
soul-filling
goodness
in
them
:
What
matter
of
Complaint
to
God's
poor
Children
,
whose
hearts
are
too
too
apt
to
sink
earthwards
,
pois'd
with
weights
that
they
cannot
keep
them
up
in
the
vision
of
God
,
his
Christ
,
and
what
ever
is
blessed
in
him
;
Oh!
when
the
thoughts
of
your
hearts
must
be
taken
up
with
your
Callings
,
which
cannot
be
done
without
it
,
keep
a
Watch
over
them
,
let
them
not
run
forth
to
sinful
distempers
,
but
that
you
may
be
fit
to
go
to
God
,
and
converse
with
him
,
and
get
the
blessed
savour
of
these
things
upon
your
hearts
,
and
do
not
let
out
your
thoughts
to
idleness
,
and
soul-defiling
vanity
,
and
feed
upon
vanity
,
when
there
are
such
solid
glorious
things
to
feed
upon
,
which
you
expect
to
be
taken
up
with
,
in
an
infinite
unwearied
delight
to
all
eternity
.
And
do
not
suffer
the
Devil
to
take
up
his
abode
,
by
his
subtle
and
sudden
suggestions
,
or
more
close
insinuations
upon
you
.
If
he
make
his
Inroads
,
resist
,
check
,
defie
with
abhorrency
his
first
Attempts
,
before
he
work
up
corruption
in
you
:
And
remember
still
,
your
spirits
and
bodies
are
the
Temples
of
God
,
and
the
Temple
of
God
must
be
holy
,
1
Cor.
6.19
,
20.
What
,
know
ye
not
,
that
your
body
is
the
Temple
of
the
Holy
Ghost
that
is
in
you
,
which
ye
have
of
God
,
and
ye
are
not
your
own
,
for
ye
are
bought
with
a
price
,
therefore
glorifie
God
with
your
spirits
and
bodies
,
which
are
Gods
:
And
thus
much
of
this
special
evidence
of
the
New-Creature
,
in
the
newness
of
his
thoughts
,
and
the
acting
of
them
.
8.
The
Eighth
Discovery
of
the
New-Creature
is
this
,
The
New-Creature
hath
a
new
Lip
,
a
new
Tongue
,
let
loose
to
speak
of
God
,
and
for
God
:
And
this
also
I
shall
a
little
insist
upon
:
Saith
our
blessed
Lord
,
A
good
man
out
of
the
good
Treasure
of
his
heart
bringeth
forth
good
things
,
Matthew
12.35
.
Good
,
and
wholsom
,
and
savoury
Words
:
To
this
we
find
the
Holy
Ghost
in
the
Scriptures
often
pressing
;
saith
the
wise
man
,
Prov.
20.15
.
The
Lips
of
knowledge
are
a
precious
Jewel
;
The
mouth
of
a
righteous
man
is
a
well
of
Life
;
The
lips
of
the
righteous
feed
many
,
Prov.
10.11
,

So
the
Apostle
;
Let
no
corrupt
communication
proceed
out
of
your
Mouth
,
but
that
which
is
good
,
to
the
use
of
Edifying
,
that
it
may
minister
grace
to
the
hearers
,
Ephes.
4.29
.
Let
your
speech
be
always
with
grace
,
seasoned
with
salt
,
&c.
Col.
4.6
.
By
which
places
't
is
evident
that
a
special
discovery
of
the
New-Creature
is
herein
manifested
.
1.
The
New-Creature
hath
a
New
Tongue
to
speak
Savourly
and
Experimentally
of
the
things
of
Christ
,
and
the
work
of
the
Spirit
,
Because
that
which
the
heart
is
exercised
with
,
it
will
be
bringing
forth
.
Out
of
the
abundance
of
the
heart
the
mouth
speaketh
;
an
evil
man
out
of
the
abundance
of
evil
in
his
heart
bringeth
forth
evil
things
,
as
a
good
man
doth
good
things
,
Matth.
12.25
,
28.
If
the
heart
and
affections
be
spiritually
exercised
,
the
Tongue
will
be
speaking
forth
.
2.
Because
thereby
a
New-Created
Soul
doth
give
glory
to
God
;
they
speak
of
the
Testimonies
,
works
,
goodness
,
grace
,
and
the
wonders
of
the
Love
of
God
to
poor
sinful
Creatures
:
And
hereby
God
is
much
glorified
;
Come
and
hear
,
all
ye
that
fear
God
,
and
I
will
tell
what
he
hath
done
for
my
Soul
,
Psal.
66.16
.
3.
Gracious
hearts
do
hereby
stir
up
the
Grace
of
Christ
in
them
;
't
is
like
the
blowing
of
a
spark
,
and
makes
the
heart
to
glow
e're
it
is
aware
;
gracious
Conference
is
the
very
breath
of
the
Spirit
,
which
kindles
all
our
Graces
afresh
;
as
it
was
with
the
Disciples
going
to
Emaus
,
Luke
24.32
.
Did
not
our
hearts
burn
within
,
while
he
talked
with
us
by
the
way
.
4.
Good
Souls
do
not
only
profit
themselves
,
in
receiving
good
,
but
they
profit
others
;
one
of
the
best
ways
that
we
do
good
,
is
in
profiting
weak
Saints
or
Sinners
;
how
hath
a
word
spoken
from
a
savoury
person
,
humbly
and
wisely
,
dropt
in
upon
the
Soul
of
a
sinner
,
which
hath
been
its
first
awakening
.
And
so
upon
a
poor
weak
tempted
Child
of
God
,
how
seasonably
hath
God
ordered
a
word
for
a
poor
soul
from
conference
with
another
!
Vse
.
If
a
New-Creature
in
Christ
hath
a
New
Tongue
as
well
as
a
new
heart
,
then
let
it
be
for
Conviction
of
sinners
,
whose
Tongues
as
well
as
hearts
are
exercised
in
vanity
,
altogether
in
prophane
,
or
vain
,
or
carnal
,
or
worldly
Discourses
;
this
shews
there
is
no
good
treasure
in
the
heart
:
The
Apostle
James
follows
this
Conviction
very
closely
,
and
makes
it
the
Character
of
a
carnal
pretending
Believer
,
or
false
and
dead
Faith
,
James
1.26
.
If
any
man
among
you
seem
to
be
religious
,
and
bridleth
not
his
tongue
,
but
deceiveth
his
own
heart
,
this
mans
religion
is
vain
.
'T
is
but
a
seeming
to
be
religious
,
a
vain
Religion
,
where
the
tongue
hath
a
carnal
Liberty
;
and
he
calleth
the
Tongue
a
world
of
iniquity
,
set
on
fire
of
Hell
,
Jam.
3.6
.
an
unruly
evil
,
full
of
deadly
poison
,
ver.
8.
The
evils
of
the
Tongue
that
bespeak
a
sinner
unregenerate
,
are
these
;
and
they
are
frequent
among
this
generation
.
1.
Speaking
evil
of
the
Spirit
of
God
,
and
ways
of
God
,
and
People
of
God
:
Oh
,
such
,
say
they
,
have
the
Spirit
,
that
they
be
Holy
,
and
they
are
so
strict
that
they
will
not
do
such
and
such
things
as
others
do
:
This
is
a
degree
of
Blasphemy
,
and
borders
upon
the
brink
of
the
unpardonable
Sin
.
These
are
stiled
by
the
Apostle
Revilers
,
1
Cor.
5.11
.
&
6.11
.
and
they
,
as
such
,
shall
not
enter
into
the
Kingdom
of
Heaven
.
The
giving
out
of
the
Spirit
upon
plain
meaning
people
,
in
the
measure
it
now
is
,
is
a
new
thing
,
but
not
therefore
to
be
despised
and
reviled
.
Every
Town
and
Family
almost
doth
abound
with
this
wickedness
and
dreadful
provocation
,
and
't
is
the
saddest
sign
upon
the
generality
of
people
whatsoever
;
only
,
't
is
to
be
hoped
,
they
do
it
through
Ignorance
,
as
Paul
did
,
1
Tim.
1.13
.
and
God
,
as
he
hath
done
,
may
humble
and
convert
many
of
them
,
to
the
praise
of
his
Grace
;
only
let
sinners
that
have
been
frequently
shewed
the
desperate
wickedness
of
such
speeches
,
of
scoffing
at
the
Spirit
and
Holiness
,
and
call
it
Hypocrisie
,
tremble
lest
God
give
them
up
,
when
they
sin
against
Conviction
,
and
the
clear
light
of
the
word
in
this
matter
.
Had
I
time
to
reason
a
little
in
the
power
of
the
Lord
,
with
such
souls
;
why
,
Consider
seriously
and
in
good
earnest
,
Can
you
be
so
sottish
,
and
so
wilfully
blinded
,
that
have
heard
or
read
the
Scriptures
,
to
imagine
that
you
are
God's
and
Christ's
,
and
have
not
the
Spirit
,
and
are
not
made
Holy
,
nor
crying
to
God
that
you
may
be
holy
?
He
that
hath
not
the
Spirit
of
Christ
is
none
of
his
;
And
,
without
Holiness
you
shall
not
see
the
Lord
;
How
dare
you
then
,
in
the
Atheism
and
devilish
wickedness
of
your
hearts
,
scoff
at
the
very
Name
of
the
Spirit
and
Holiness
!
The
lowest
place
in
Hell
will
be
yours
,
that
have
been
so
often
admonished
of
this
,
unless
God
smite
you
to
the
Earth
for
it
:
True
Converts
have
the
saddest
Humiliation
for
this
sin
,
as
they
have
been
more
or
less
guilty
of
it
.
2.
Or
you
that
are
not
so
desperately
carried
forth
in
this
open
ungodliness
,
of
speaking
evil
of
what
you
know
not
,
but
yet
make
little
Conscience
of
lying
for
your
profit
,
or
in
excusing
a
matter
,
so
you
may
do
it
covertly
,
and
count
,
it
a
venial
small
sin
;
or
you
,
that
when
provoked
,
swear
prophanely
,
and
desperately
,
tearing
the
Name
of
the
great
and
dreadful
God
,
wreaking
your
anger
and
wrath
upon
the
Name
of
God
,
and
the
blood
of
Christ
;
your
Tongues
are
set
on
fire
on
Hell
,
and
the
Spirit
of
Disobedience
,
the
Devil
worketh
in
you
;
not
a
drop
of
the
Grace
of
God
in
you
.
3.
Or
you
who
have
your
petty
Oaths
,
by
your
Faith
,
by
your
Lady
,
and
by
Creatures
,
or
make
mention
of
the
Name
of
God
,
and
Lord
,
in
your
ordinary
Discourse
,
vainly
,
and
as
a
by-word
,
crying
,
Oh
Lord
,
upon
every
slight
occasion
,
and
for
God's
sake
,
and
Christ's
sake
do
this
,
and
this
,
in
poor
trivial
matters
;
verily
there
is
nothing
of
the
New-Creature
in
you
:
And
yet
these
great
Prophanesses
you
call
your
infirmities
,
and
't
is
your
infirmity
to
swear
,
when
angry
and
provoked
,
and
you
say
you
forget
your selves
,
when
you
mention
the
Name
of
the
Lord
God
sleightly
,
or
through
Ignorance
plead
for
it
,
that
you
may
do
so
;
I
tell
you
,
Souls
,
they
are
your
reigning
,
damning
sins
,
who
are
frequent
in
them
:
And
in
carnal
prayerless
families
,
as
most
are
,
how
oft
in
a
day
may
these
ungodly
speeches
be
heard
,
by
men
,
women
and
children
?
If
the
fear
of
God
were
upon
you
,
or
any
work
of
Grace
,
you
durst
not
do
it
,
nor
indeed
could
do
:
Therefore
do
but
observe
your selves
a
day
,
and
see
how
often
you
are
here
guilty
,
and
tremble
before
God
,
and
go
and
humble
your selves
at
his
feet
,
that
you
may
find
mercy
,
and
have
another
heart
and
mouth
given
unto
you
:
Pray
,
and
cry
,
and
wait
for
the
good
treasure
of
the
Word
of
Grace
in
your
hearts
,
and
't
will
be
otherwise
with
you
.
4.
Yea
,
you
who
are
engaged
in
worldly
Discourses
on
the
Sabbath-day
,
in
your
families
,
at
your
doors
,
in
the
streets
,
in
idle
and
vain
jesting
;
you
are
not
of
God
,
born
again
by
his
Spirit
,
you
take
no
delight
in
the
Word
of
God
,
the
meditation
of
your
heart
is
not
in
it
,
you
speak
little
of
it
,
because
you
savour
it
not
.
Tremble
you
Worldlings
,
who
shew
it
this
way
,
at
that
Word
,
1
John
5.5
.
They
are
of
the
world
,
therefore
speak
they
of
the
world
,
and
the
world
heareth
them
:
If
ye
are
of
the
world
,
you
are
not
,
as
yet
,
of
Jesus
Christ
,
the
power
,
love
,
of
this
present
World
ruleth
in
you
,
and
that
may
damn
you
for
ever
.
Know
,
sinners
,
you
that
make
little
Conscience
of
vain
,
prophane
words
,
(
though
you
pretend
to
make
some
conscience
of
your
word
of
promise
to
Men
,
for
your
credits
sake
,
and
so
think
you
have
grace
,
(
all
which
a
Turk
will
do
)
that
by
your
words
you
shall
be
judged
;
and
of
idle
words
you
shalt
give
an
account
at
the
day
of
Judgment
;
and
by
thy
words
thou
shall
be
condemned
,
Mat.
12.36
,
37.
Such
words
as
we
have
opened
,
to
be
damning
sins
.
And
therefore
,
do
not
put
off
this
guilt
from
you
,
in
saying
,
't
is
your
infirmity
,
and
so
make
light
of
it
;
but
know
,
't
is
guilt
which
will
send
you
to
Hell
,
if
the
Lord
humble
you
not
,
and
change
you
.
'T
is
a
certain
Rule
,
a
prophane
heart
,
and
a
prophane
mouth
,
a
carnal
heart
,
a
carnal
tongue
,
a
worldly
heart
,
a
worldly
(
yea
Sabbath-days
)
tongue
:
Therefore
,
you
are
not
New-Creatures
in
the
least
;
and
therefore
begin
with
the
heart
,
that
the
heart
may
be
smitten
of
God
for
this
sin
,
and
changed
,
and
seasoned
with
the
word
and
grace
of
Christ
upon
you
;
and
it
will
be
better
with
you
,
and
you
will
have
a
tongue
to
speak
well
of
the
Spirit
,
and
the
things
of
God
,
and
his
People
;
and
to
speak
for
God
,
and
reverently
of
his
Name
,
and
delight
your selves
in
it
.
2.
Let
this
be
a
word
to
such
,
as
through
grace
are
become
New-Creatures
in
Christ
,
that
you
would
shew
it
in
this
discovery
,
in
a
new
Tongue
,
that
you
give
not
your selves
that
liberty
of
vain
,
carnal
,
much
less
prophane
Discourses
,
as
formerly
;
as
indeed
you
will
not
,
if
you
be
new
Creatures
.
Men's
Converse
do
either
lye
among
such
as
are
wholly
carnal
and
worldly
,
or
such
as
savour
that
which
is
good
.
As
to
the
former
;
as
in
all
our
carriage
,
so
especially
in
our
Words
,
there
is
great
caution
to
be
had
.
1.
Not
to
mix
our selves
with
them
unnecessarily
,
unless
we
find
we
have
strength
enough
,
through
a
dependency
on
the
Lord
,
to
avoid
their
snares
,
and
do
it
with
a
purpose
of
heart
to
do
them
good
,
by
reproving
or
counselling
them
.
Many
a
good
soul
hath
been
sadly
worsted
by
mixing
unnecessarily
with
vain
,
prophane
or
frothy
company
.
2.
If
Providence
cast
thee
amongst
them
,
sometimes
it
may
be
the
Wisdom
of
a
Child
of
God
to
keep
silence
;
as
David
,
Psal.
39.1
.
I
said
I
will
take
heed
to
my
ways
,
that
I
sin
not
with
my
tongue
;
I
will
keep
my
mouth
with
a
bridle
,
when
the
wicked
is
before
me
:
I
say
,
it
may
be
sometimes
best
for
a
Child
of
God
to
do
so
;
there
's
a
secret
conviction
goes
forth
,
by
the
silence
of
a
servant
of
God
oftentimes
,
and
to
have
them
as
soon
as
we
can
,
so
it
be
not
done
scornfully
,
but
humbly
and
civilly
:
I
do
not
mean
a
total
silence
,
but
a
weariness
.
When
you
are
cast
among
carnal
persons
,
as
to
your
Callings
,
necessarily
,
Take
heed
of
giving
your selves
a
full
liberty
,
multiplying
of
words
unnecessarily
,
but
be
reserved
and
watchful
;
that
by
any
thing
you
say
,
or
indeed
any
other
carriage
,
the
person
you
converse
with
,
be
more
hardned
in
his
carnal
course
,
or
be
offended
more
against
the
ways
of
Godliness
;
which
,
indeed
,
a
Child
of
God
should
most
heedfully
consider
in
all
his
ways
:
Oh
,
't
is
a
blessed
and
gracious
design
,
rather
to
better
than
worst
all
we
converse
with
.
3.
If
you
have
a
heart
(
as
you
are
to
look
up
to
God
for
a
heart
)
to
reprove
what
may
be
reprovable
,
(
as
often
it
may
be
your
duty
)
or
to
commend
the
ways
of
God
unto
them
,
to
render
them
acceptable
and
precious
,
and
comfortable
,
or
any
good
word
of
the
Lord
to
mention
to
them
,
or
of
an
etetnal
condition
;
let
this
be
done
,
1.
Seasonably
:
'T
is
a
great
matter
for
a
servant
of
God
to
speak
fitly
,
to
wind
off
another
from
a
carnal
Discourse
into
good
things
;
to
insinuate
them
discreetly
;
here
is
much
Wisdom
,
and
't
is
to
be
ask'd
of
God
.
2.
With
meekness
:
Not
sharply
,
nor
rashly
,
nor
proudly
,
nor
censoriously
,
but
with
a
meek
and
gentle
spirit
,
—
shewing
all
meekness
to
all
men
,
2
Tit.
2.
That
they
may
perceive
you
do
it
,
not
to
censure
them
,
nor
with
vain
ostentation
,
but
that
it
proceeds
from
an
honest
heart
,
and
unfeigned
love
to
them
:
This
is
to
be
done
,
when
we
find
mens
spirits
in
the
most
serious
capacity
;
and
we
having
endeavoured
to
sweeten
them
,
and
to
get
some
room
and
respect
in
their
Affections
.
3.
That
it
be
done
savourly
,
and
feelingly
,
not
slightly
,
that
it
may
appear
what
we
give
out
to
them
is
upon
our
own
hearts
,
and
what
we
do
really
feel
and
enjoy
,
which
carries
much
convincement
with
it
.
2.
If
Providence
cast
you
among
God's
People
,
(
as
this
indeed
should
be
our
choice
)
't
is
not
well
to
part
from
each
other
without
something
of
God
,
his
Word
,
Grace
,
Goodness
,
Providence
,
People
,
their
own
Hearts
,
Temptations
,
Comforts
,
according
to
what
is
upon
their
Hearts
,
or
what
they
conceive
may
be
of
best
use
to
those
we
speak
to
,
considering
their
condition
,
or
temptations
,
or
falling
short
,
or
in
what
,
if
stronger
Christians
,
we
may
our selves
be
helped
and
encouraged
;
and
not
to
give
way
to
indisposition
or
temptation
,
or
fear
we
shall
speak
as
Hypocrites
,
(
which
is
sometimes
a
snare
)
but
to
have
a
ready
mind
and
chearful
delight
to
do
it
:
Not
but
the
people
of
God
may
in
due
season
speak
of
their
Callings
,
and
of
Affairs
and
Occurences
in
the
World
;
yea
,
and
sometimes
that
which
may
beget
chearfulness
,
so
we
watch
our
hearts
in
it
,
and
take
heed
of
an
uncomely
inordinateness
in
it
.
But
do
you
tremble
at
obscene
Words
,
wrathful
words
,
to
be
suddainly
provok'd
to
speak
passionately
,
at
taunting
,
jeering
words
,
reproaching
others
,
or
censorious
of
others
,
vain-glorious
words
;
of
which
much
might
be
spoken
to
every
particular
.
3.
As
this
may
humble
the
people
of
God
for
the
sins
of
the
Tongue
,
their
vanity
and
unprofitableness
,
so
let
it
stir
them
up
to
look
for
grace
,
suitable
in
this
so
weighty
a
matter
:
That
our
Lips
may
be
as
a
Well
of
Life
,
and
may
savour
of
what
is
holy
and
good
in
God's
sight
:
Some
Directions
yet
as
to
this
Duty
.
1.
Get
in
much
good
Treasure
in
the
Heart
:
As
our
Saviour
speaks
,
Mat.
12.
The
more
good
Treasure
of
the
Word
,
of
Grace
,
of
Experiences
,
of
sweetness
,
of
comfort
,
the
more
ready
we
shall
be
to
give
forth
and
also
receive
in
from
others
.
2.
Do
not
follow
your
fancy
,
in
speaking
what
it
still
dictates
,
but
your
judgment
:
Many
good
men
too
too
much
follow
a
working
fancy
,
though
there
may
be
a
sober
chearful
Exercise
of
it
in
season
;
but
we
are
too
apt
to
run
forth
to
excess
:
The
Devil
will
kindle
Squibs
upon
the
Fancy
,
which
we
must
rather
quench
than
feed
and
bring
forth
.
3.
Keep
some
good
thing
upon
the
Heart
;
some
good
Word
you
daily
take
in
,
as
was
directed
as
to
your
Thoughts
,
some
comfortable
Experience
of
God
,
the
sense
of
what
you
received
in
an
Ordinance
,
that
you
may
discourse
of
the
Word
last
heard
,
Psal.
45.1
.
My
heart
is
enditing
of
a
good
matter
,
my
Tongue
is
the
Pen
of
a
ready
Writer
:
Oh
blessed
,
when
't
is
so
with
gracious
Souls
:
I
muse
on
the
works
of
thy
hands
,
Psal.
143.
My
meditation
of
God
shall
be
sweet
,
Psal.
104.
4.
Pray
for
a
good
frame
of
heart
,
and
keep
it
so
:
Pray
till
the
heart
be
made
tender
,
savoury
,
quickned
,
enlarged
with
the
sense
of
God's
Majesty
,
Holiness
and
Goodness
upon
your
Spirits
,
and
then
watch
to
keep
them
so
;
a
savoury
Heart
,
and
a
savoury
Mouth
.
5.
Be
not
provoked
by
the
vain
and
frothy
Language
of
others
,
though
they
may
be
good
men
,
to
comply
with
it
:
We
are
too
apt
to
take
encouragement
to
that
which
may
be
evil
,
because
't
is
the
liberty
another
good
man
takes
,
which
is
often
a
snare
.
6.
Keep
the
fear
of
the
Lord
upon
thy
Heart
,
a
holy
awe
of
God
and
his
Presence
,
one
of
the
choicest
Duties
of
a
Saint
,
especially
in
this
matter
.
The
fear
of
God
makes
the
Spirit
serious
,
and
yet
mixt
with
comfort
and
a
comely
chearfulness
,
Psal.
4.4
.
Stand
in
awe
of
God
,
and
sin
not
.
I
might
also
lay
down
Motives
to
this
choice
Duty
:
It
doth
much
please
and
delight
the
Spirit
of
God
;
it
brings
in
much
good
to
the
soul
:
Gracious
conference
is
an
Ordinance
of
God
,
and
blest
to
the
quickning
,
establishing
,
succouring
,
and
refreshing
the
hearts
of
Saints
.
Accustom
your selves
to
it
,
and
you
will
find
indispositions
wear
off
,
and
you
will
do
it
out
of
a
ready
mind
,
and
gracious
delight
:
Only
,
be
not
only
a
talker
,
from
Notions
in
the
Head
,
nor
affect
a
disputing
,
wrangling
Knowledge
,
(
usually
the
effect
of
Pride
)
but
do
it
from
Heart-experience
in
some
measure
;
or
what
you
would
fain
get
more
upon
your
hearts
:
And
let
it
not
be
only
a
talking-knowledge
,
but
an
humble
walking-knowledge
.
Remember
,
to
thy
continual
abasement
,
how
many
sinners
thou
hast
helped
Hell-ward
,
by
thy
lewd
,
vain
,
prophane
speeches
,
by
thy
reviling
at
the
Lords
ways
and
people
,
and
how
thou
hast
encouraged
and
hardened
them
this
way
in
sin
.
Oh
,
now
let
thy
work
be
,
through
infinite
grace
,
to
tell
sinners
,
that
there
is
more
good
infinitely
in
Jesus
Christ
than
in
the
way
of
folly
.
Now
draw
as
many
as
thou
may'st
,
according
to
thy
measure
of
grace
,
to
Jesus
Christ
,
and
Heaven-ward
.
And
thus
much
be
spoken
of
this
Discovery
of
the
New-Creature
,
in
its
shewing
it self
in
a
new
Lip
.
9.
The
9th
.
Discovery
of
the
New-Creature
.
Such
as
are
New-Creatures
in
Christ
,
they
will
have
New-Company
.
As
soon
as
a
soul
is
new
forming
up
in
Christ
,
he
saith
,
as
David
,
Depart
from
me
ye
evil
doers
,
for
I
will
keep
the
Commandments
of
my
God
,
Psal.
119.115
.
Depart
from
me
all
ye
workers
of
Iniquity
,
for
the
Lord
hath
heard
the
voice
of
my
weeping
,
Psal.
6.8
.
I
am
a
Companion
of
all
them
that
fear
thee
,
and
of
them
that
keep
thy
Precepts
,
Psal.
119.63
.
So
the
primitive
Saints
,
as
soon
as
converted
,
they
become
Companions
of
the
reproached
Ones
of
the
Lord
,
and
took
joyfully
the
spoiling
of
their
Goods
with
them
,
Heb.
10.34
.
And
so
Moses
chose
affliction
with
the
people
of
God
,
before
Riches
and
Honour
with
the
Prophane
,
Heb.
11.26
.
Now
this
real
Converts
do
:
1.
Because
wicked
and
carnal
men
will
act
and
speak
wickedly
against
God
,
and
his
ways
and
people
;
which
a
heart
broken
,
and
made
tender
,
cannot
endure
to
hear
and
observe
:
David
said
,
it
was
like
a
sword
in
his
bones
,
Psal.
42.10
.
when
wicked
men
reproached
the
Lord
and
his
servants
.
2.
Converts
are
in
great
danger
to
be
tempted
to
sin
,
as
Joseph
in
Pharaoh's
house
,
by
the
company
of
wicked
and
carnal
persons
;
the
Devil
will
lay
snares
,
especially
for
weak
Souls
:
It
will
be
hard
for
weak
souls
to
pass
without
guilt
,
by
mixing
with
them
.
3.
Saints
will
contract
deadness
and
indisposition
by
their
company
;
it
causeth
old
Lusts
to
stir
,
and
other
sins
of
heart
to
be
working
.
The
carnal
part
will
be
too
ready
for
complyance
with
them
;
how
hard
to
come
off
from
them
,
not
worsted
.
4.
Such
as
are
New-Creatures
in
Christ
,
have
quite
different
Spirits
from
wicked
and
carnal
men
,
different
principles
,
different
ends
,
and
therefore
they
must
needs
avoid
them
,
and
cannot
take
satisfaction
and
contentment
with
them
,
unless
under
great
temptation
.
Vse
1.
To
sinners
unconverted
,
who
take
pleasure
in
your
carnal
,
merry
company
,
but
are
burthened
with
the
company
of
godly
,
and
you
secretly
disdain
them
,
and
the
Devil
suggests
to
you
,
that
they
are
Hypocrites
;
know
this
,
and
be
assured
of
it
,
and
your
Consciences
must
acknowledge
it
,
that
ye
are
yet
in
your
sins
,
and
haters
of
Holiness
,
and
you
love
not
the
appearance
of
it
:
Certainly
,
you
are
none
of
these
New-Creatures
,
and
you
cannot
know
your selves
by
a
better
Character
,
than
by
the
company
you
most
delight
in
.
You
do
not
make
choice
of
your
most
intimate
company
by
their
Godliness
,
but
from
wordly
ends
,
or
mirth
,
or
good
fellowship
,
as
you
stile
it
,
or
generosity
,
or
some
such
carnal
end
;
verily
,
the
grace
of
God
is
not
in
you
,
and
your
condition
is
damnable
.
2.
As
ever
you
would
find
mercy
,
look
up
to
the
Lord
to
turn
your
hearts
to
himself
,
and
then
to
those
that
fear
him
:
Break
off
from
your
vain
company
,
who
engage
your
hearts
to
vanity
:
What
saith
the
Wisdom
of
God
,
A
Companion
of
fools
shall
be
destroyed
,
Prov.
13.
No
such
fools
(
how
witty
,
or
prudent
,
or
civil
soever
otherwise
)
as
carnal
souls
,
that
delight
in
vanity
;
Oh
hearken
to
the
instruction
of
the
wise
,
and
your
soul
shall
live
.
I
confess
this
is
the
hardest
pluck
in
conversion
,
but
yet
it
must
be
done
,
with
a
vigorous
resolution
,
through
grace
;
when
once
the
bands
are
broken
,
and
you
come
to
find
,
as
you
will
,
abundant
more
sweetness
in
the
Lords
ways
,
verily
you
shall
never
repent
your
so
doing
.
And
such
as
have
some
desires
towards
goodness
,
and
have
some
better
thoughts
than
you
have
had
formerly
of
good
people
,
you
will
make
little
progress
in
grace
,
and
peace
,
and
comfort
to
your
own
souls
,
till
you
do
this
;
till
you
can
abhor
your selves
for
your
vanity
and
prophaness
among
carnal
men
,
and
can
with
full
purpose
of
heart
cleave
to
the
Lord
,
and
overcome
fear
or
shame
,
or
whatever
such
cursed
evils
that
are
in
your
way
,
and
all
your
rocks
of
offence
,
you
will
make
little
of
it
as
to
evidence
any
sound
work
in
your
hearts
,
and
peace
with
God
by
Jesus
Christ
;
one
days
accompanying
with
carnal
men
,
will
set
you
more
backward
in
the
matter
of
godliness
,
than
many
days
after
will
help
on
.
3.
Let
such
as
would
evidence
the
New-Creature
,
be
very
watchful
in
this
matter
,
and
not
to
touch
pitch
,
lest
they
be
defiled
;
mix
not
your selves
unnecessarily
,
as
hath
been
exhorted
in
the
last
head
,
among
carnal
men
,
unless
you
have
a
good
and
holy
end
in
it
;
so
as
Jesus
Christ
did
,
going
among
great
sinners
to
do
them
good
,
which
indeed
bespeaks
a
great
strength
of
grace
,
and
a
Christ-like
spirit
,
and
Saints
should
be
much
with
God
for
it
.
And
among
your selves
,
that
Saints
do
still
better
and
not
worst
one
anothers
Spirits
,
when
they
come
together
;
the
more
you
are
with
Saints
,
the
more
you
love
them
,
and
delight
in
them
:
Have
a
compassionate
healing
spirit
to
one
anothers
infirmities
,
and
be
not
offended
,
but
look
upon
,
and
love
the
appearance
of
God
in
each
other
:
And
remember
,
that
receiving
and
doing
of
good
is
your
great
business
till
you
come
to
Heaven
.
Yea
,
let
all
that
have
a
new
work
upon
them
,
diligently
find
out
the
Company
of
Saints
,
such
as
are
visibly
joined
to
the
Lord
,
and
to
each
other
,
to
enjoy
Ordinances
holily
,
and
to
help
one
another
Heaven-ward
;
Woe
to
him
that
is
alone
,
saith
the
wisdom
of
God
:
Let
not
gracious
Souls
content
themselves
in
pollutions
of
worship
,
and
without
the
company
of
the
godly
;
such
do
decay
,
wither
,
make
a
poor
shift
to
hold
out
in
their
profession
,
grow
worldly
,
or
are
overtaken
with
the
Errours
of
the
times
;
as
for
the
most
part
,
they
are
the
solitary
professors
who
are
drawn
aside
from
Gospel-truth
,
and
not
such
(
as
it
hath
been
unduly
charg'd
)
who
are
in
the
fellowship
of
the
Gospel
,
for
that
end
and
purpose
,
to
help
,
strengthen
,
pray
for
,
watch
over
each
other
.
10.
Such
as
are
New-Creatures
in
Christ
,
they
have
(
if
I
may
so
speak
)
new
feet
,
namely
,
to
walk
with
God
in
a
new
conversation
:
The
steps
of
a
good
man
are
ordered
by
the
Lord
,
and
he
delighteth
in
his
way
,
Psal.
37.23
.
I
have
(
saith
David
)
refrained
my
feet
from
every
evil
way
,
that
I
may
keep
thy
word
.
This
New-walk
of
a
Saint
,
of
a
New-Creature
,
is
a
large
field
;
that
I
may
hint
the
most
material
things
of
it
,
1.
A
New-Creature
doth
more
and
more
set
himself
to
walk
with
God
;
(
1.
)
As
under
the
eye
of
God
,
considering
that
the
jealous
eye
of
the
Lord
is
still
upon
him
:
Thou
compassest
my
path
,
and
my
lying
down
,
and
art
acquainted
with
all
my
ways
,
Psal.
133.3
.
(
2.
)
To
keep
Communion
with
God
;
to
be
conversing
with
God
,
speaking
with
God
,
and
unto
God
,
and
waiting
to
hear
God
speak
unto
him
.
(
3.
)
To
walk
in
Jesus
Christ
.
As
ye
have
received
Christ
Jesus
the
Lord
,
so
walk
ye
in
him
,
Col.
2.6
.
which
is
,
to
walk
in
the
Life
of
Christ
,
in
the
Light
of
Christ
,
in
the
Love
of
Christ
,
in
the
Strength
of
Christ
,
in
the
wisdom
and
patience
of
Christ
,
and
so
in
all
:
This
't
is
to
have
fellowship
with
Jesus
Christ
,
and
to
walk
in
him
;
to
do
all
in
Christ
,
and
through
Christ
,
is
the
main
work
of
the
New-Creature
,
as
't
was
hinted
in
discovering
the
necessity
of
the
New-Creature's
being
in
Christ
.
(
4.
)
The
Walk
of
the
New-Creature
is
to
walk
in
the
Spirit
,
Gal.
5.25
.
If
we
live
in
the
Spirit
,
let
us
also
walk
in
the
Spirit
.
There
's
no
condemnation
to
them
which
are
in
Christ
Jesus
,
who
walk
not
after
the
flesh
,
but
after
the
Spirit
,
Rom.
8.1
.
To
walk
in
the
Spirit
,
is
,
(
1.
)
Not
to
fulfill
the
Lusts
of
the
Flesh
,
Gal.
5.16
.
Not
to
be
under
the
power
of
them
,
or
to
make
provision
for
them
;
not
to
feed
them
,
but
to
crucifie
them
;
They
that
are
Christ's
,
have
crucified
the
flesh
,
with
the
Affections
and
Lusts
,
Gal.
5.14
.
which
is
put
as
an
evidence
of
walking
after
the
Spirit
.
(
2.
)
'T
is
to
be
led
by
the
Spirit
,
Gal.
5.18
.
to
give
up
our selves
to
the
leadings
and
teachings
of
the
Spirit
,
Psal.
143.10
.
Teach
me
to
do
thy
will
,
for
thou
art
my
God
,
thy
spirit
is
good
;
lead
me
into
the
land
of
uprightness
;
is
the
cry
of
every
true
Convert
in
Christ
;
who
would
not
be
led
by
his
own
Spirit
in
any
thing
,
nor
by
any
other
mens
spirits
,
but
waits
for
the
Leading
of
the
spirit
in
every
work
and
way
,
wherein
he
would
walk
before
God
.

The
New-Creature
walks
after
the
revealed
will
of
God
:
And
as
many
as
walk
according
to
this
rule
,
peace
be
upon
them
,
Gal.
5.16
.
speaking
of
the
New-Creature
,
who
walks
after
a
rule
:
Blessed
are
the
undefiled
in
the
way
,
who
walk
in
the
Law
of
the
Lord
,
Psal.
119.1
.
He
sets
himself
to
walk
in
all
the
precepts
of
God
,
and
esteemed
them
all
holy
and
righteous
.
6.
The
New-Creature
walks
in
his
integrity
:
Let
integrity
and
uprightness
preserve
me
,
Psal.
25.21
.
As
for
me
,
I
will
walk
in
mine
integrity
,
Psal.
26.11
.
And
as
for
me
,
thou
upholdest
me
in
mine
integrity
,
and
settest
me
before
thy
face
for
ever
,
Psal.
41.12
.
This
is
the
gracious
resolution
of
every
Convert
,
to
walk
in
his
integrity
,
through
which
God
will
preserve
and
uphold
him
in
all
his
ways
,
and
when
the
World
reproacheth
him
,
God
will
set
him
before
his
face
,
and
that
for
ever
.
7.
The
New-Creature
,
so
far
as
he
is
a
New-Creature
,
walks
humbly
:
This
is
that
the
Lord
doth
require
of
thee
,
walk
humbly
with
thy
God
,
Micah
6.8
.
To
walk
humbly
before
the
Lord
,
toward
sinners
,
and
towards
Saints
:
The
soul
that
walks
most
with
God
,
walks
most
humbly
towards
men
.
8.
The
New-Creature
walks
in
love
;
And
walk
in
love
,
as
Christ
also
hath
loved
us
,
Ephes.
5.2
.
In
love
to
all
Saints
,
as
Saints
,
a
special
part
of
the
Gospel-walk
:
Not
in
love
to
such
or
such
a
party
of
Saints
,
which
is
but
self-love
,
but
in
love
to
all
that
walk
with
God
.
9.
More
Particulars
might
I
mention
,
as
walking
honestly
towards
all
men
,
not
oppressing
,
defrauding
,
but
righteously
,
charitably
,
compassionately
:
So
far
,
I
say
,
as
he
is
a
New-Creature
,
he
walks
thus
:
Only
let
me
add
this
,
that
the
New-Creature
walks
by
Faith
,
2
Cor.
5.7
.
and
not
by
sight
:
He
is
ever
learning
a
life
of
dependency
,
lives
upon
the
All-sufficiency
of
God
,
the
Righteousness
of
Christ
,
the
fulness
of
his
Grace
,
the
word
of
his
Promise
,
and
so
lives
out
of
himself
,
upon
the
fulness
of
God
in
Christ
,
and
his
truth
in
his
Promise
,
even
when
he
feels
not
his
presence
.
And
herein
briefly
consists
the
Life
of
Faith
,
to
live
out
of
our selves
,
upon
another
,
even
the
fulness
of
an
infinite
God
,
manifested
in
Jesus
Christ
.
In
a
word
,
The
New-Creature
in
Christ
,
as
he
is
called
of
God
,
through
infinite
Free-Grace
:
So
is
he
to
walk
in
all
things
,
Worthy
of
his
vocation
,
Ephes.
4.1
.
To
walk
worthy
of
the
Lord
,
even
to
walk
as
Jesus
Christ
himself
walked
,
1
John
2.6
.
To
walk
in
this
present
world
,
how
he
might
express
the
vertues
of
Christ
,
the
Grace
and
Love
of
Jesus
Christ
so
freely
revealed
to
him
,
to
walk
self-denyingly
,
holily
,
patiently
,
harmlesly
,
profitably
,
heavenly
,
as
one
that
is
called
from
Darkness
to
Light
,
from
the
power
of
Satan
to
God
,
called
out
of
the
world
,
to
the
obtaining
of
the
glory
of
our
Lord
Jesus
Christ

If
this
be
the
Walk
of
the
New-Creature
,
then
such
who
walk
not
as
in
the
Eye
of
God
,
but
after
the
Atheism
of
their
Hearts
,
consider
not
,
that
God
sees
them
in
their
most
hidden
ways
,
that
walk
after
their
lusts
to
fulfil
them
;
that
walk
not
in
the
Spirit
,
that
mind
not
Holiness
,
so
they
keep
a
kind
of
Conscience
to
men
:
Verily
,
the
Spirit
of
God
dwelleth
not
in
you
,
you
have
no
Evidence
for
Heaven
as
yet
;
you
are
of
the
World
,
and
you
walk
after
the
course
of
the
World
,
Eph.
2.2
.
You
walk
Hell-ward
,
and
are
held
by
the
Cords
of
your
Lusts
,
and
your
Paths
lead
unto
destruction
.
And
therefore
turn
in
to
Jesus
Christ
,
whose
Paths
are
Wisdom
and
Safety
,
and
lead
in
the
way
of
Life
,
and
Peace
,
and
Blessedness
,
even
all
that
choose
them
,
and
delight
in
them
.
2.
Let
such
as
have
the
New-Creature
formed
in
them
,
approve
themselves
to
God
,
to
Saints
,
and
to
the
World
,
in
this
their
New-Walk
:
Oh
see
!
you
are
called
to
walk
with
God
;
and
therefore
be
as
in
his
Eye
continually
;
make
Communion
with
him
your
chiefest
joy
.
Walk
in
Jesus
Christ
,
in
his
Life
,
Light
,
Power
,
Love
,
Wisdom
,
and
fetch
your
daily
supplies
from
him
:
Walk
in
the
Spirit
,
after
the
Spirit
,
as
much
as
may
be
;
and
see
that
you
keep
close
to
Rule
,
to
the
revealed
Will
of
God
,
and
not
to
Delusions
;
be
able
to
appeal
to
God
,
Judge
me
,
Oh
God
,
according
to
mine
integrity
,
Psal.
26.1
.
that
you
may
have
this
Peace
and
Comfort
in
all
your
ways
;
Thou
upholdest
me
,
Oh
Lord
,
in
mine
Integrity
.
And
see
you
walk
humbly
before
God
and
Men
,
and
in
love
to
all
that
profess
love
to
Christ
;
and
they
do
,
in
some
measure
really
express
it
,
and
carry
it
justly
and
compassionately
towards
all
men
.
Learn
above
all
,
the
Experience
of
the
Life
of
Faith
;
live
not
in
,
or
upon
what
you
have
received
,
but
live
out
of
it
,
upon
the
Fulness
of
the
Lord
,
as
if
you
had
received
nothing
.
Oh
ply
the
Throne
of
Grace
,
that
you
may
be
filled
with
the
Spirit
of
Jesus
Christ
,
and
to
walk
in
this
present
World
,
as
near
as
may
be
,
after
the
Holiness
,
Patience
,
Meekness
,
Wisdom
,
and
Love
of
Jesus
Christ
,
which
he
shewed
towards
all
men
,
having
your
hearts
and
Conversations
in
Heaven
,
where
your
treasure
is
.
11.
The
New-Creature
doth
in
all
things
labour
its
own
perfection
,
and
is
therefore
still
in
conflicting
with
,
destroying
,
crucifying
,
purging
out
the
old
Creature
,
the
old
man
,
all
of
the
old
Adam
,
till
it
sits
down
in
Victory
,
in
a
full
perfection
of
Holiness
and
Glory
,
which
it
shall
have
(
and
not
till
then
)
at
the
appearing
of
Jesus
Christ
,
Ephes.
4.22
.
—
That
ye
put
off
concerning
the
former
Conversation
,
the
Old
Man
,
which
is
corrupt
,
according
to
the
deceitful
Lusts
,
and
be
renewed
,
&c.
Knowing
this
,
that
our
Old
Man
is
crucified
with
him
,
that
the
body
of
sin
might
be
destroyed
,
Rom.
6.6
.
This
is
the
main
Work
of
the
New-Creature
,
where
it
is
really
formed
in
Christ
,
to
destroy
and
purge
out
the
Defilements
and
Dregs
of
the
Old
Man
,
of
Sin
,
Self
,
Corruption
,
that
it
may
be
as
a
new
Lump
,
as
a
Vessel
made
meet
for
the
Lord's
use
,
as
formed
up
,
set
apart
,
anointed
,
sanctified
for
God
,
and
his
use
,
here
and
for
ever
,
AMEN
.
To
the
Blessed
God
Alone
be
all
the
Glory
.
