be no more sorry for your sins If this be your condition as my hope it is you can pray better than you are aware of For saith the Apostle the Rom. 8. 26. 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Onus vicissim attollit ex altera parte ne sub eo fatiscamus Beza spirit helpeth our infirmities The Original word is very Emphatical It follows For we know not what we should pray for as we ought but the spirit it self maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered Herein consists the great duty to be importunate with God for the assistance of his holy Spirit and to apply the promises That God will give Mat. 7. 11. good things to them that ask him And what 's that good thing even the best of all things is promised Your heaven Luk. 11. 13 ly Father shall give the holy Spirit to them that ask him Object Object And whereas you complain of your barrenness and unprofitableness under the means of Grace and of your slippery and failing memory Answ Answ I answer that it 's a good sign to be sensible of your failings and to bewail them It 's a grand Duty incumbent on you to be heedful and vigilant It 's the Apostles caution Therefore we ought to give Heb. 2. 1. the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard lest at any time we should let them slip or as 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 the Original implys let them run out as leaking vessels do and let out precious liquor as soon as it is poured into them At for your unprofitableness if we all in particular reflect upon our selves all our faces will gather blackness and we have all cause to complain that when we have Luk. 17. 10. done all that we can we are unprofitable servants Wherefore being conscious to our selves of our great unfruitfulness under the means of Grace and notwithstanding fatning Ordinances we have lean souls let 's supplicate Isa 48. 17. unto the Throne of Grace Thus saith the Lord thy Redeemer the holy one of Israel I am the Lord thy God which teacheth thee to profit which leadeth thee by the way which thou shouldest go Object And whereas your misgiving heart injects many fears unto you as if none of the Promises appertain'd unto you Answ Answ I answer That it 's more than you know For a poor doubting trembling Christian may have the root of the matter in him and a right to the promises though at present he may want the manifestation of those consolations which the promises afford But do not you judg your self unworthy of eternal life Cast not away the Anchor of your hope let not go your hold on the Promises for they are a stay and a staff for you to support your soul upon when you apprehend your self even in a tottering condition Are you thirsty after Christ Apply your self to the Promises for they are as so many Wells of Salvation Therefore with joy shall Isa 12. 3. ye draw water out of the wells of salvation Do you desire a word of comfort to be spoken to your Soul Make hast to the Promises for they are the breasts of consolation which Isa 66. 11. can satisfie you Sect. 13. A few Questions I propound unto you and after your most serious and composed thoughts I expect your Answer Do not you love God Q. You cannot say but you do A. Then the Promise is your portion And we know that all things work Rom. 8. 28 Qui dicit omnia excipit nihil together for good to them that love God Observe that all things are promised and nothing is excepted Your present troubles of mind though for a time they may be grievous yet in Gods good time shall all work together for your good Do not you hate the ways of sin Q. and love the ways of holiness If so as I have no reason to think A. otherways then you are in a hopeful condition The Psalmist professeth his love to the Law of God and his utter hatred and abhorrency of every false way and especially lays down an evidence of his uprightness by keeping himself from bosom-sins for said he I was also upright Ps● 18. 23. before him and I kept my self from mine iniquity Another Question I shall only propound to you Do not you love the Q. Children of God You dare not say otherways for those are the company with whom you converse and delight Hence you may evidence that you A. ●oh 13. 35 are a Disciple of Jesus Christ By this shall all men know that ye are my Disciples if ye love one another This is an evidence of regeneration to love the Brethren We know saith 1 John 3. 14. the Apostle that we have passed from death unto life because we love the brethren he that loveth not his brother abideth in death I knew one upon his death-bed who took great comfort in this evidence of loving the Children of God A Third Impediment to be avoided 3. Imped Too much retiredness and respectiveness is too much retiredness and reservedness Do not feed and nourish a melancholly humour by separating your self from the society of such who would gladly administer comfort to you The society of experienced Christians and frequent conference with them may be of great advantage to you for the establishment of your heart by giving seasonable and suitable Answers to those doubts which trouble you One Coal may inkindle another and one Iron may sharpen another and so one Christian may be instrumental both for inkindling and quickning the Graces of Gods Spirit in another I advise you to be very seldom alone during your Troubles and Temptations unless in two special cases As first when God is speaking to you in his Word when you read the Word of God and faithful Writers and Expositors thereof Which read you must labour to digest by Prayer and Meditation and make of all particular application unto your own Soul And secondly When you are speaking to God in Prayer and Supplication then is a fit season to be alone and in your secret recesses to pour out your heart unto the Lord. My further advice unto you in love is That you would beware of idleness and sloth Although I suspect you not nor can accuse you yet in love to your precious soul I cannot but premonish you both to avoid the sin of idleness and the miserable consequences thereof For if the Devil can prevail by his temptations to gain you to idleness and sluggishness and to the neglect of your duties which concern both your general and particular calling then he will get ground of you and lay his Snares and Gins to intrap you and so go away Conqueror That therefore you may prevent the mischievous designs of Satan I counsel you to be industrious in your particular calling and imployment with diligence and care provided that you above all
meditation and particular application and I hope and my hearts desire is that through the Grace of God some word or other may leave such deep impressions upon your heart both for instruction and consolation as that you may be better for them all your days Sect. 15. Duty 2. Be much in heartstudying 2. Be much conversant in the studying of your own heart It 's very needful to be well acquainted at home For this self-acquaintance and knowledg of a mans own heart is a very necessary knowledge and a profitable acquaintance This is a great business and an useful imployment for every one to busie himself in searching of his own heart and he that is thus imployed and makes it his business to know and understand himself will know more evil by himself than all the world can tell him of I have read of Heraclitus a weeping Philosopher who being askt what he studied he answered To know himself 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 And it was the saying of one of the wise men of Greece Know thy self And this knowledg we shall never attain unto unless we study our own hearts This was the resolution of the Church though at that time under hatches Let us search and try Jer. 3. 40. our ways and turn again to the Lord. First there must be searching and trying and then follows a turning to God And in this turning there are two terms one is from what we Terminus à quo terminus ad quem turn and this is from sin and the other is to whom we should turn and this is to God The heart is exceeding filthy and defiled and therefore frequent washings and cleansings are required So runs the word of command O Jerusalem wash thy heart Jer. 4. 14 from wickedness that thou maist be saved How long shall thy vain thoughts lodg within thee In the Levitical Law when a beast was slain for sacrifice there was a special command for the washing of the inwards and the legs Lev. 1. 9. These washings were typical and put us in remembrance of washing of our hearts and lives For both inward and outward pollution ought to be avoided and we ought to cleanse our selves from both For 2 Cor. 7. 1. saith the Apostle having therefore these promises dearly beloved let us cleanse our selves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit perfecting holiness in the fear of God And both outward and inward purity ought to be endeavoured after It 's the Apostles command Let us draw near Heb. 10. 22. with a true heart in full assurance of faith having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience and our bodies washed wi●h pure water Now let the heart be washt first then the conversation will be purified The heart may be compared to a fountain if that be pure the conversation as so many streams flowing from that fountain will be pure The more we search our hearts the more pollution we shall find in them We shall find them to be a cage of unclean birds and a cinque of all manner of impurity Wherefore above all keepings we ought to keep our hearts for so saith the Wiseman Keep thy heart with all diligence for Prov. 4. 23. out of it are the issues of life Let it be therefore your greatest care and endeavour to approve your heart unto God in sincerity and in truth Sincerity is that which constitutes a Christian and distinguisheth a child of God from an hypocrite Look then especially to the inclination vergency frame and propension of your heart whether it tend directly towards God or obliquely toward the world The difference upon Scripture-record is very great between Asa and Amaziah although neither one nor other were without their failings Asa fail'd in several things yet the root of the matter was in him for his heart was upright toward God so it 's evidenced in the Scripture Nevertheless the heart of 2 Chron. 15. 17. Asa was perfect all his days As for Amaziah though he went a great way yet he came far short of the main thing requir'd for this brand of infamy is left upon record And he did that which was right in 2. Chron. 25. 2. the sight of ●●● Lord but not with a perfect heart It 's the common lot of Gods dearest children to have Infirmities yet notwithstanding they can take comfort in the integrity of their hearts So the Spouse confest I sleep but my heart waketh Cant. 5. 2. The sleeping of the Spouse imply'd that she had her Infirmities but her heart waking declar'd her sincerity Sect. 16. Duty 3. Be frequent and fervent in secret prayer Prov. 18. 1. 3. Be frequent and fervent in secret prayer Though separation from the Assemblies of Saints is unwarrantable yet there is a warrantable separation of which the Wiseman makes mention Through desire a man having separated himself seeketh and intermedleth with all wisdom There is a time for retiredness into our Closets of this our Saviour speaks But thou when thou prayest Mat. 6. 6. enter into thy closet and when thou hast shut thy door pray to thy Father which is in secret and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly For this retirement God Isa 26. 20. calls upon his people Come my people enter thou into thy chambers and shut thy doors about thee hide thy self as it were for a little moment until the indignation be over-past Wherefore in your short recesses and retirements which you must take frequently pour out your heart unto God and when you are remotest from company and from the hearing of men then be more earnest in wrestling with God in prayer and supplication Sometimes you may find a listlesness and indisposedness upon your spirit and by reason of such dulness and deadness you may be afraid of venturing upon any holy duty yet you must take heed of neglecting any duty For dulness deadness and indisposedness of spirit are no warrants to neglect any duty but you ought the rather to be more sollicitous unto the throne of Grace for quickning-vertue that God would raise and dispose your heart for his service Although at some time you may be so straitned in your spirit as you may not be able to utter a word yet you may sigh and mourn and groan and breathe after God and these sighings breathings groanings and mournings are all known to God and as for the compunctions of the heart God takes notice of them all We read that the Lord said unto Moses Why cryest thou unto me The Exod. 14. 15. time that Moses thus cryed was when Pharoah and his host pursued the Children of Israel A potent furious Enemy was behind them and the Red-sea before them and whether they went forward or backward their danger was exceeding great either to be drown'd in the Water or slain with the Sword of the Enemy It 's worth our observation that there is no particular word
resurrexerit c. Pareus in loc I was in the spirit on the Lords day This day is the souls market-day the souls harvest-day the souls rejoi●ing-day Prepare for this day before it comes meditate of the duties of the day and sanctifie your souls for the sanctification of the Lords own day The word Remember necessarily implys prepartion and a previous consideration of performing the works of the day in its own day This day ought seriously to be remembred before it comes and the heart ought to be prepar'd and sequestred from all worldly intanglements On this day we should rise earlier in a morning than other days Mary rose early that day and had a joyful sight of the Lord Jesus Shake off sloth and drowsiness and beware of idleness for spiritual idleness on this day is as bad as bodily labour give unto God his own day a whole day and imploy your soul in the works of the day and the works are works of piety mercy and necessity and beg of God a Sabbath-frame and temper of spirit As for such works as concern our secular calling though they are lawful and necessary on other days of the week yet on this day they are neither necessary nor lawful much less are corporal-recreations as games or sports c. to be allowed on this day On this day double diligence ought to be used for the performing of double duties to hearing of the Word in publick add reading in private and to reading add secret prayer and to prayer add meditation and to meditation add conference as next is to be mentioned Sect. 20. Duty 5. Communicate your Doubts to experienced Christians Mal. 2. 7. Isa 50. 4. A fifth Duty is to communicate your Doubts and perplexities to such experienced Ministers or people who are able and willing to administer spiritual comfort unto you The Prophet tells us For the Priests lips should keep knowledg and they should seek the Law at his mouth for he is the messenger of the Lord of Hosts Impart your case to faithful Ministers to whom God hath given the tongue of the Learned and to other experienced Christians who through the Grace of God may speak both by way of counsel and comfort something for the settlement and establishment of your spirit Frequent the society of such who fear God and be a companion to such here on earth whose company you hope to enjoy to all eternity It was the saying of an eminent servant of Jesus Christ upon his Death-bed Mr. Robert Bolton I shall change my place but not my company Be therefore ready and willing to lay hold upon those opportunities which are offered for spiritual conference and be glad of the prayers and counsels of such as are Mnasons and old Disciples and experienced Christians and Practitioners of Religion Spiritual conference is no new practice for it is of great antiquity and I heartily wish that it were more revived and put in practice than it is now-a-days The Prophet Malachy makes mention of such Religious meetings Then they that feared the Lord spake Mal. 3. 16. often to one another and the Lord hearkned and heard it and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the Lord and that thought upon his name Upon perusal of those words it 's evident that the people of God met together and confer'd about each others spiritual estate And there ought to be a great deal of care and conscience in the managing of such meetings for God takes notice of all that 's done or spoken and puts them upon record O! how much and abundant soul-satisfaction may be gain'd by the society of such as are godly to such you ought to unbosom and unburthen your soul they may be instrumental for the good of your soul And as I advise unto conference and correspondence with godly Christians so I advise you to the making choice of godly Writers and to peruse them with diligence and seriousness of spirit Let the holy Scriptures always have the preheminence both in your judgment and affections Next to them I commend unto your frequent reading sound and orthodox Writers such as are Calvins Institutions Greenham Perkins Dod Dyke on the Deceitfulness of the heart Scudder Burroughs gracious spirit and in an especial manner because it 's very suitable to your condition I commend to your reading Dr. Sibs of the souls conflict The precious Author is dead but his memory is blessed and both the Author and his Works are like precious ointment poured forth The sixth and last particular Duty Duty 6. Wait upon God which I advise you unto is to wait silently patiently and submissively upon God Labour therefore to bring your will to Gods will God is infinite in Wisdom and knows what 's better for you than you know for your self and better than you can either ask or think And believe that Gods time is always the best time and therefore wait on God till he be pleased to speak a word of peace to you Let faith and patience hold out and joyn them both together and imitate those who Heb. 6. 12. through faith and patience have inherited the promises The Church of God though under hatches and in a very low condition yet did exercise faith and patience And I Isa 8. 17. will wait upon the Lord that hideth his face from the house of Jacob and I will look for him The Church of God was much afflicted and vexed with briers and thorns and was neither quiet at home nor abroad yet notwithstanding we read of an Heroical resolution of the Church Therefore I will look unto the Lord Mic. 7. 7. I will wait for the God of my salvation my God will hear me In this verse Faith Patience and Assurance are all joyn'd together for looking implys that there was an eye of faith and waiting implys the exercise of patience and that God would hear was a strong ground of assurance that the faith and patience there mention'd were successful In Habbakkuks time the Vision was very dark For said Hab. 2. 3. the Prophet the vision is yet for an appointed time but at the end it shall speak and not lye though it tarry wait for it because it will surely come it will not tarry Waiting-Christians are exceeding much gainers by all their waiting so saith the Prophet The Lord is good to them that wait Lam. 3. 25 26. for him to the soul that seeketh him It is good that a man should both hope and quietly wait for the salvation of the Lord. Wherefore if God speak not comfort so soon as you desire and expect yet know that it is your duty to hold out and continue waiting and not in the least to presume to limit the holy one of Israel to any time or means Let God as an ancient Eligat opportunitatem qui libere dat misericordiam Aug. Father saith chuse the opportunity who freely gives thee mercy
on those many and special Invitations * Ingens in nobis requiritur desiderium ●t tantorū beneficiorum participes esse possimus Cal. in loc One is Ho every one that thirsteth come ye to the waters and he that hath no money come ye buy and eat without money and without price By waters are understood the Divine Ordinances by buying without price the riches of free grace and mercy in Christ are represented by coming is meant the using of those means which God hath prescribed as believing repenting hearing of the Word receiving the Lords Supper c. Another Invitation suitable hereunto is If any man thirst let him Joh. 7. 37. come unto me and drink A thirsty soul who is sensible of his want of Christ and that he is lost and undone without him hath a special invitation to come unto him The third Invitation which is sutable to the former runs thus And the Spirit and the Bride say come and let him that heareth say come and let Rev. 2. 17. him that is a thirst come and whosoever will let him take the water of life freely For Explication of that choice Scripture there is a special remark to be set on these particulars 1. Consider who are invited and 1. Thirsty persons are invited they are thirsty necessitous indigent persons who are apprehensive of their absolute necessity of having Christ and that no other waters but such living-waters as flow from Christ can satisfie them these only have a special Invitation 2. It 's said Whosoever will though 2. Whosoever will a willing mind is commended and accepted of by the Almighty God yet this willing mind is first given to us by God before we can imploy it for God We read that God stir'd up Ezra 1. 1. the spirit of Cyrus King of Persia to build the house of the Lord God of Vers 3. Israel he is the God which is in Jerusalem After the command of Cyrus the issue thereof followeth Then rose up the chief of the Fathers of Judah Vers 5. and Benjamin and the Priests and the Levites with all them whose spirit God had raised to go up to build the house of the Lord which is in Jerusalem As those who were builders of the Temple in Jerusalem had their spirits rais'd by God for that great work so all those who will do any spiritual and acceptable service unto God must first have their spirits rais'd and have a willing mind vouchsafed by God unto them Unless we have assistance from Christ and be acted guided and governed by his Spirit we can do nothing pleasing unto God All our fresh-springs are in Christ Phil. 2. 13. 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Chrysost All our sufficiency is from God And it is God that worketh in you to will and to do according to his good pleasure A fourth Invitation to name no more is that which Christ himself makes to such as are sensible of the heavy weight and burthen of their sins Come unto me all ye that are weary and heavy-laden and I will give Mat. 11. 28. you rest Some understand the words of crosses and afflictions and others of the rigor of the Law and others of sin of all these burdens Christ can ease us * 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 laboribus frangere lassare te significat Bilson de perpet Guber Hales 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Sarcina proprie quae humeris fertur item quae navi imponitur V. Leigh Crit. Sac. The Original words are Emphatical and intimate that such as are even ready to sink under their burthens are invited to come to Christ for help and succour Put then the Question home to your own soul Are you sensible of the heavy burthen of sin and weary of it Is sin more grievous and burthensome to you than an aking Tooth or a broken Arm If this be your condition be not dismay'd but with all expedition go to Jesus Christ who alone can remove all your burthens and give you rest Sect. 25. 4. Ground of comfort the particular application of Christs merits I conclude all with the fourth and last Ground of comfort and with some suitable Scriptures appertaining thereunto As for this Ground of comfort though I name it last yet it is the chiefest of all it is the particular application of the merits of Christ as offered in the Gospel to your own soul We usually say that Medicines cure not in their preparation though to prepare them is necessary but in their application The Soveraign Medicine of the blood of Christ is of infinite dignity price and value One drop of his Blood and one dram of his Grace is sufficient for you The Apostle was once a great persecutor and afterwards was a zealous professor and Preacher of that Gospel which he formerly persecuted He ascribes the great change wrought in him to the grace of God * Quod dignitati suae tribuere non potest tribuit gratiae Dei agnoscit se alium esse personae de meriti sui indignitate alium per gratiam Dei Musc in loc By the grace 1 Cor. 15. 10. of God I am what I am and his grace which was bestowed on me was not in vain 1 Tim. 1. 17. However you may be troubled with variety of strong Tentations as the Apostle was and you may 2 Cor. 12. 17. have a Thorn in the flesh even * 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 i. e. immissus mihi a satan● Grot. the messenger Satan buffeting of you yet if you wholly cast your self and rely upon the free grace of Christ tendred in the Gospel you will find all sorts of help in his merits for justification sanctification and consolation in this world and for glorification in the world to come It 's to be supposed that * 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Hunc comparat sud● ac paxillo quemadmodum sudes praeacuti carnem pungendo afficit sic sit illius infestationibus veluti punctionibus afflictatus Musc in Loc. 2 Cor. 12. 7 8 9. 1 Joh. 17. the thorn in the flesh was some strong Tentation wherewith the Apostle was assaulted and he made haste to God in earnest prayers and supplications This was the right and only means to obtain cure For the same wise God who exercised the Apostle with such tryals could only give a blessed issue out of them all You must after this example go and do likewise For this thing saith the Apostle I besought the Lord thrice that it might depart And he said unto me My grace is sufficient for thee For my strength is made perfect in weakness You complain that you are defiled with sins you must apply the Blood of Christ for it's cleansing blood to your soul The blood of Jesus Christ his son cleanseth us from all sin You frequently complain that you are a great sinner for an answer to your complaints I thus distinguish There are two sorts of
sinners viz. impenitent and penitent sinners You dare not say after deliberate and composed thoughts upon heart-examination that you would not repent neither that you would not endeavour to repent neither that you do not beg of God grace to repent Your sensibleness of your sins and mourning for them and complaining against your self and your praying with the Apostle to be delivered Rom. 7. 24. from the body of sin plainly evidenceth that you are not an impenitent sinner And only impenitent sinners who live and dye in their sins shall perish for so saith our Saviour Except ye repent ye Luke 13. 3. shall all likewise perish But as for penitent broken-hearted sinners such as are affected with compunction of heart and godly sorrow for sin and are poor in spirit and sensible of their lost and undone condition as in themselves these have a peculiar invitation to come unto Jesus Christ Matt. 9. 13. For saith he * 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 i. e. Eos qui sibi justi videntur quibus opponuntur peccatores i. e. qui suorum peccatorū sensu vulnerati ad unam Dei misericordiam confugiunt Bulling in loc I came not to call the righteous but sinners to repentance Comfort your self with the serious meditation of those grounds of comfort before mentioned and make particular application of them to your own soul And now for a close of all I shall be your remembrancer of some select Scriptures suitable to your condition and O! that God would write them in the Tables of your heart which through riches of mercy have been my comfort and support and I hope that through the blessing of God they may be a support and comfort unto you One Scripture is Rom. 8. 5 But Rom. 8. 5. God commendeth his love towards us in that while we were yet sinners Christ dyed for us A Second Scripture is Matt. 12. 20 Matt. 12. 20. A bruised reed shall he not break and smoaking flax shall he not quench till he send forth judgment unto victory A Third Scripture is Rom. 3. Rom. 3. 24 25. 24 25 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Jesus Christ whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past through the forbearance of God A Fourth Scripture is Heb. 7. 25 Heb. 7. 25. Wherefore he is able to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them A Fifth Scripture with which I 1 Joh. 2. 1 2. shall conclude is 1 Joh. 2. 1 2 If any man sin we have an Advocate with the Father Jesus Christ the righteous And he is the propitiation for our sins and not for ours only but also for the sins of the whole world These precious Truths of God ought to be digested by Prayer Meditation and particular Application and they will be through the grace of God as a stay and a staff to your afflicted spirit Remember though you use the means to look above means and beg help of God As the Ancients used to hold the Plough and pray so you must apply your self to the means prescribed in the Word of God and keep close to Gods Ordinances but above all you must beg help from the God of the Ordinances Be conscientious and diligent in the use of the means but look through the means and above the means unto God Persevere in your duty leave the success unto God who in his own time and that 's best can speak comfort to you Thus you see what design I drive at even in prescribing to you such Directions as may be for the setling and quieting of your spirit My hearts desire and prayer to God for you is That God in mercy and love to your Soul and to any other in the like case would imprint these things upon your heart by the effectual operation of his holy Spirit I Remain yours in the service of your Faith H.
