1I know those that belong to God, are suffered sometimes to do things amiss, and to fall into errors and miscarriages, that they may know themselves better. And indeed, much of our spiritual wisdom, is gotten by the sight of our own errors, we grow more stablished after, against the like temptations, for the time to come, and we can say by experience, it is good that I know the foolishness of my own heart, &c. but he that God hath no delight in, he swells, and rages against any admonition, though it be in love to his soul. I hope there are none such here, therefore those that have made their ⟨p. 231⟩peace with God, let them come to these holy mysteries with comfort, notwithstanding any thing before: for God hath prepared these things, not for Angels, but for weak men, whose faith stands in need to be strengthened.
