here thou must not rest but thou huntest for the blood of thy corruptions and thou canst not be quiet till thou seest the death of them the soule can doe little of it selfe but it would have the Lord doe all for it so though thou have not sanctifying grace hast not power of thy selfe to kill thy corruptions yet thou makest all thy friends thou hast to use all meanes to sinke thy enemies that else would sinke thee As it is amongst men when a man hath found his enemy he followes the law hotly and he will have his life or else it shall cost him a fall he pursues him from one court to another and makes all the friends that he can that he may plague him and if all the law in the land will doe it he will have him hanged this is a right hatred indeed so the soule can doe little of it selfe yet it indeavours and makes a levy of forces and prayers and will not leave sin with life it pursues sin hotly and if all Gods words and all the promises and if the grace of Christ will doe the deed it will not rest til it see the decay of sinne and therfore it will even dragge sinne before the Lords tribunall and there cry for judgement and say Lord kill this proud malitious heart of mine these are thy enemies the enemies of thy grace Lord they sought my blood let me have their blood blood for blood tooth for tooth O let me see their destruction The second use is a word of instruction Is this contrition and doth it bring forth such fruits thē true brokē godly sorrow is rare in the world and there are few that have it even amongst those that thinke themselves some body in the bosome of the Church therefore save me a labour and cast your eyes abroad in the world and enquire in the houses and villages where you dwell and knocke at your neighbours hearts and say is there any broken hearts here it will appeare there are but few broken hearts here to be found amongst the professors of the Gospell and so few shall be saved If this true hatred be a true evidence of broken heartednesse what wil become of a world of prophane persons that are caried on with the pursuit of sin from which they will not be pulcked the drunkard will have his cups and the adulterer his queanes and the chapman his false weights they are so farre from this dislike of sinne that they hate every thing save sinne they hate the godly magistrate that would punish them nay they hate the Lord himselfe and say it was pitty there was such a law made to punish sinne what shall we doe let us doe any thing rather then be hindered in our pleasures what shall we do that we may not be checked and reproved get you downe to hell and there you shall have elbow roome enough there you may be as wicked and as prophane as you will and that will be your portion unlesse the Lord be mercifull unto you Consider what the wise man speaks and doe not thinke a little humbling of your soules before God and a few prayers will serve your turne No no then shall they cry saith the text But I will not answer they shall seeke me earely but shall not finde me because they hated knowledge did not seek the feare of the Lord.
