The sixt particular Meditation of the third generall, That we be such as feele our sinnes and infirmities as a heavy burden, and travelling under them, doe fly ever unto Christ.
SIxtly, wee are seriously to* 1.1 stirre vp our soules that we never rest vntill we be such at least in the longing desires of our hearts, as doe see and* 1.2 feele not onely our owne sins, infirmities, and corruptions, as a heavy burthen, making us* 1.3 daily to runne to our Lord and Sauiour to bee eased of them: but withall, that wee* 1.4 haue some true feeling of the sinnes of all sorts in the Church, which have so farre forth already provoked the Lord to execute his fierce wrath upon so many of our Brethren, to leave them into their enemies hand▪ and so to
threaten all the Churches by the deadly malice and mis∣chievous plots and prevailings of our bloody enemies. And also that we can and do begin to cry, That the Lord would* 1.5 forgive us our sins, our hainous crying sins, & grant unto us unfeigned repentance for the •…•…ame, & hearts to do whatsoe∣ver hee hath commanded be∣longing thereunto; & for the pacifying of his wrath both privately, & publiquely. We* 1.6 are withall to bethinke our selves, whether wee be such as unfeignedly wish with blessed Paul to have a continuall hea∣vinesse in our hearts, for our owne sinnes, and for the sinnes of Gods people, whereby hee hath beene so provoked to so heavy a wrath, & so dreadfull proceedings even against his owne Children, which are so deere unto him; and for that his anger is daily more and
Such as can freely forgive, and doe use to pray for our very enemies; that they, so many of them, as belong to the election of Grace, may like∣wise come to repentance and escape his wrath & vengeance due unto their sinnes, and bee made with us partakers of the inheritance of the Saints in light.
