Oh, how unpersuadable are our hearts for the most part, and loath to credit the Word of his Grace and Truth, so far as to resign up our selves, our sins, our burthens of all sorts to the vertue and power of his Atonement and Soveraignty, who has ended all dif∣ferences, and brought in an everlasting Righteousness and Good Will, that a righteous God and sinful Man might be reconciled together in him who has ballan∣ced the Account exactly; and being gone, has left a Legacy of Blessing and Peace to every Soul that flees to him to feed upon, till the days of full re∣freshing appears, and we see him as he is. When I only muse my own weakness, it makes me more weak; while I converse with anxious thoughts, it makes my heart dark, sower and feeble; but Mil∣lions of Sins, Cares, Fears, and Disquiets fly before one hearty Closure with Christ, his Power and Grace by Faith. If Christ in the Soul saith I AM HE, whole Troops of Adversaries fall backwards, Difficulties vanish, and desponding Consultations of Unbelief in our Flesh fly as Dust before the Wind; and that because our Redeemer is strong, though we are weak. Methinks sometimes 'tis pity that we should hear so much, read so much spoke or writ, to each other so ordinarily of this certain real Refuge, and yet account it not more real. What a thing is this that Christ hath engaged, that not one of his shall be able to lose what he purchased and bequeathed for them! Such a good Will, and free Grace, that our Sins shall never be able to sin away, no more than they can be able to sin away Christ from the Right Hand of his Father; for were it otherwise, we were undone every moment. Who is it that maintains any Thirst after him that enables poor Dust and Ashes to conflict against all the powers of Darkness;
