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 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

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

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

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
