A71231	Enter into thy closet, or A method and order for private devotion A treatise endeavouring a plain discovery of the most spiritual and edifying course of reading, meditation, and prayer; and so, of self examination, humiliation, mortification, and such most necessary Christian duties, by which we sue out the pardon of our sins from Heaven, and maintain an holy converse with God. Together with particular perswasives thereunto, and helps therein.	Wettenhall, Edward, 1636-1713.	1666 (1666)	Wing W1495B; ESTC R217163	97,436	340

that_o my_o sin_n now_o the_o consideration_n how_o this_o restitution_n or_o reconcilement_n may_v be_v make_v and_o the_o resolution_n to_o make_v it_o may_v be_v best_a do_v in_o my_o closet_n and_o such_o consultation_n and_o resolution_n deserve_v a_o place_n to_o be_v register_v among_o my_o other_o penitential_a devotion_n upon_o the_o same_o reason_n as_o they_o do_v these_o rule_n in_o my_o repentance_n if_o i_o have_v observe_v though_o i_o can_v look_v upon_o any_o action_n of_o i_o as_o complete_a yet_o i_o may_v have_v hope_n i_o have_v not_o herein_o be_v slighty_a but_o that_o god_n through_o christ_n jesus_n will_v accept_v it_o sect._n 8._o of_o that_o faith_n which_o be_v requisite_a in_o order_n to_o pardon_v of_o sin_n beside_o repentance_n it_o be_v common_o say_v that_o god_n require_v faith_n of_o we_o in_o order_n to_o pardon_v of_o our_o sin_n and_o it_o be_v most_o certain_a if_o we_o understand_v faith_n as_o we_o ought_v but_o it_o be_v as_o certain_a that_o people_n be_v ordinary_o very_o much_o mistake_v in_o the_o nature_n of_o faith_n as_o it_o be_v not_o unusual_a for_o we_o to_o be_v in_o such_o thing_n the_o name_n whereof_o be_v

it_o agree_v to_o whatever_o be_v therein_o affirm_v as_o be_v true_a believe_v all_o the_o promise_n that_o god_n will_v never_o fail_v on_o his_o part_n unless_o we_o do_v on_o we_o set_v ourselves_o to_o fulfil_v all_o the_o command_n as_o believe_v all_o that_o be_v command_v to_o be_v our_o duty_n and_o of_o indispensible_a necessity_n to_o salvation_n tremble_v at_o all_o the_o

persuade_v of_o the_o whole_a word_n and_o these_o its_o part_n after_o this_o sort_n and_o we_o must_v not_o single_a out_o the_o promise_n and_o believe_v they_o alone_o for_o all_o command_n and_o threat_n be_v no_o less_o the_o word_n of_o god_n than_o be_v the_o promise_n and_o therefore_o must_v be_v as_o much_o believe_v nor_o shall_v any_o one_o ever_o be_v justify_v who_o do_v not_o thus_o believe_v if_o it_o be_v ask_v whether_o it_o be_v not_o faith_n in_o the_o free_a promise_n of_o the_o gospel_n or_o a_o trust_n to_o god_n through_o christ_n that_o he_o will_v pardon_v my_o sin_n which_o do_v chief_o justify_v i_o i_o say_v no_o and_o that_o the_o embrace_v the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o gospel_n the_o receive_v every_o command_n and_o threat_v so_o deep_o into_o my_o heart_n as_o that_o the_o belief_n of_o the_o one_o turn_v forthwith_o into_o obedience_n and_o of_o the_o other_o into_o obedience_n and_o of_o the_o other_o into_o a_o holy_a fear_n which_o be_v the_o other_o part_n of_o faith_n can_v be_v conceive_v to_o be_v either_o in_o their_o own_o nature_n inferior_a unto_o that_o trust_n or_o less_o either_o value_a or_o require_v by_o god_n i_o do_v not_o say_v that_o god_n accept_v of_o any_o of_o they_o or_o all_o of_o they_o for_o their_o worth_n he_o accept_v of_o they_o and_o of_o the_o person_n in_o who_o they_o be_v pure_o through_o christ_n through_o his_o merit_n do_v he_o impute_v this_o faith_n to_o such_o person_n for_o righteousness_n that_o be_v reckon_v and_o accept_v of_o this_o his_o cordial_a and_o impartial_a receive_v his_o whole_a gospel_n after_o this_o sort_n as_o well_o as_o if_o he_o have_v perform_v perfect_a and_o unsinning_a obedience_n as_o he_o be_v first_o bind_v but_o this_o i_o say_v and_o that_o upon_o the_o evidence_n already_o hint_v that_o justification_n or_o the_o pardon_v of_o sin_n be_v no_o more_o appropriate_v to_o that_o one_o act_n of_o faith_n which_o we_o call_v trust_v than_o to_o those_o other_o and_o that_o i_o can_v if_o comparison_n in_o this_o case_n be_v make_v but_o account_v those_o other_o act_n that_o impartial_a submit_v and_o devote_v the_o sell_v to_o obedience_n answerable_o to_o every_o command_n that_o true_a rest_v in_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n as_o the_o more_o principal_a worthy_a and_o i_o be_o sure_a less_o to_o be_v suspect_v act_n of_o faith_n at_o the_o least_o i_o can_v conceive_v what_o we_o call_v a_o justify_v faith_n to_o proceed_v any_o otherwise_o than_o as_o follow_v first_o i_o do_v believe_v the_o promise_n of_o pardon_n of_o sin_n to_o be_v true_a and_o god_n to_o be_v faithful_a and_o that_o without_o all_o doubt_n god_n will_v not_o fail_v on_o his_o part_n except_o i_o fail_v on_o i_o god_n will_v not_o fail_v to_o give_v the_o promise_a blessing_n if_o i_o fail_v not_o to_o perform_v the_o condition_n upon_o which_o he_o have_v promise_v it_o second_o i_o therefore_o forthwith_o set_v myself_o about_o the_o condition_n or_o duty_n require_v as_o i_o expect_v the_o blessing_n or_o promise_a mercy_n from_o god_n i_o sorrow_n for_o my_o sin_n i_o endeavour_v amendment_n of_o life_n i_o cleave_v unto_o god_n with_o full_a purpose_n of_o impartial_a obedience_n three_o have_v do_v so_o i_o do_v not_o believe_v that_o all_o this_o be_v worth_a any_o thing_n in_o itself_o but_o that_o it_o be_v through_o the_o mere_a grace_n of_o god_n in_o christ_n jesus_n that_o i_o must_v be_v accept_v pardon_v and_o save_v wherefore_o i_o trust_v to_o god_n according_a to_o his_o promise_n the_o condition_n of_o which_o i_o have_v ●ndeavoured_v to_o fulfil_v that_o he_o will_v through_o christ_n pardon_v all_o my_o sin_n and_o reckon_v this_o my_o faith_n to_o i_o for_o righteousness_n to_o trust_v for_o the_o pardon_v of_o my_o sin_n upon_o any_o o●her_a term_n be_v unbelief_n and_o presumption_n for_o it_o be_v a_o believe_a god_n will_v pardon_v my_o sin_n upon_o their_o term_n than_o he_o have_v say_v he_o will_v ever_o pardon_v sin_n and_o that_o be_v a_o believe_a god_n will_v be_v false_a but_o now_o let_v the_o case_n be_v put_v that_o some_o grievous_a sinner_n much_o humble_v under_o the_o sense_n of_o his_o notorious_a wickedness_n do_v as_o beforesaid_a believe_v the_o promise_n to_o be_v true_a as_o it_o be_v set_v himself_o about_o the_o fulfil_a its_o condition_n sorrow_v repent_v etc._n etc._n believe_v all_o that_o he_o do_v to_o be_v in_o its_o self_n worth_n nothing_o but_o yet_o christ_n merit_n to_o be_v of_o infinite_a worth_n through_o which_o notwithstanding_o he_o dare_v not_o trust_v for_o the_o pardon_n of_o his_o sin_n as_o remember_v they_o to_o be_v so_o great_a and_o doubt_v lest_o he_o have_v not_o yet_o perform_v the_o condition_n which_o the_o promise_n of_o the_o pardon_n of_o sin_n through_o christ_n merit_n require_v and_o in_o this_o temper_n die_v put_v i_o say_v this_o case_n shall_v we_o think_v this_o man_n have_v not_o a_o true_a and_o justify_v faith_n he_o have_v sure_o and_o it_o may_v be_v a_o true_a faith_n than_o have_v many_o a_o one_o who_o yet_o have_v more_o of_o the_o trust_n but_o yet_o it_o be_v evident_a he_o have_v not_o this_o trust_n for_o he_o dare_v not_o through_o sense_n of_o his_o own_o unworthiness_n animate_v himself_o thereto_o see_v therefore_o that_o it_o be_v very_o possible_a a_o man_n may_v in_o such_o case_n be_v justify_v without_o that_o act_n of_o faith_n i_o conclude_v that_o justification_n be_v not_o appropriate_v unto_o it_o that_o be_v that_o a_o trust_n in_o god_n that_o he_o through_o christ_n will_v pardon_v my_o sin_n be_v not_o that_o act_n of_o faith_n which_o chief_o justify_v i_o and_o that_o they_o be_v very_o much_o mistake_v who_o take_v this_o by_o itself_o to_o be_v the_o true_a nature_n of_o justify_v faith_n that_o they_o believe_v god_n will_v pardon_v their_o sin_n for_o christ_n sake_n so_o then_o i_o now_o see_v the_o course_n which_o i_o be_o to_o take_v in_o my_o humiliation_n to_o sue_v out_o the_o pardon_n of_o my_o sin_n i_o be_o to_o believe_v that_o god_n will_v not_o fail_v on_o his_o part_n if_o i_o do_v fail_v on_o i_o i_o be_o therefore_o to_o repent_v of_o my_o sin_n as_o before_o i_o have_v be_v teach_v and_o persist_v in_o amendment_n of_o life_n all_o the_o while_n trust_v in_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n
