Are our hearts frozen in the dregs of our iniquities, and so hardened that we cannot mourn for the same? let us repair unto holy assemblies, and there we shall meet with the weapons of God that will pierce and wound our harts, and cause them to be dissolved into tears: there shall we feel the virtue of the spirit, effectually working upon us, so that we shall be constrained to say of those that deliver the message of Christ unto us, that God is in them indeed. Do1 we want faith in Gods providence and promises? Do we want power and strength against our corruptions? In a word, do we want any grace of God, or any blessing of God? let us have recourse unto the congregations of the Saints, and there we shall meet the Lord himself, who will be ready to supply our necessities whatsoever they be, and to grant us above that that we can ask or think.
