7 After some effectual working of Gods spirit in us, most commonly (in many) not1 long after comes deadness and dullness: against this evil we must first search the cause, whether it be for some evil thing done, or for some good thing not done, for leaving some mean of salvation unused: whether for some sin seen, but nor repented of, or some sin2 repented of, but not soundly, or for unthankfulness. Secondly, use the remedy, please not3 your self in it, but rouse up your self as from a slumber, which willingly you would shake4 off from you: call to mind the special and greatest mercy of God, use the means. Thirdly, in the means offer thy self unto God, waiting humbly, and patiently for the time of deliverance, neither esteeming too much nor too little of the affliction.
