By this faith they felt these affections in them selves, namely the battered of sin, the fear of god, the love of god, trust in thee, and love to thy church. The hatred of sin they felt because it is so foul a thing as would not be washed away with any other thing then with thy precious blood shedding: the fear of god, because his anger is so great against sin that no less price could pacify his wrath then thy most painful death: the love of god, because he hath so loved them that he would not spare thee his dear son for them, ever wham they were his enemies: trust in thee, because thou haddest no respect to thy self but most willingly diddest give thy self wholly to be our saviour and servant: love to thy people ⟨image 36⟩and church, because generally & particularly in every member of the same, they see how dear they are to thee, and therefore they can not but be so to them. Oh how do they imitate and follow thy foot steppes? how do they rejoice when they are in any thing by affliction made like to thee? Oh how do they lament their sins, ingratitude, unbelief, love thee, and wholly yield themselves unto thee? where as I (o gracious god & dear saviour Jesus Christ) though I say I believe in thee which was conceived by the holy ghost, yet alas I do but babble this, for nothing is ells in me but unbelief. Of thy power & love, of thine anger & mercy I have but an opinion, as my insensibleness and unthankfulness doth declare.
