And so for the bruisings that arise from sin unmortified, 1why Christ ⟨p. 185⟩hath promised not to leave thee, to thy self, nor forsake thee, but will de stroy all the works of the devil in thee; therefore go to Christ, and put him in mind of this promise, and say, Lord. I am one of them to whom this promise is made, I am as a bruised reed, and as smoking flax; and thou hast promised, not to break a bruised reed, nor quench the smoking flax: put Christ thus in mind of his promise, and he will hear, and help, & heal thee.
