The Morning exercise [at] Cri[ppleg]ate, or, Several cases of conscience practically resolved

Ninthly, Blear not thine eyes, by always poring upon thy sin, and wants, that are the reason of thy doubts and fears, but study also the Righteousness and fullness of Christ, for the support of hope and confidence. Know, that if thou hadst never so little sin,^a yet thou hast need of a Saviour, and if thou hast never so much, he is willing and sufficient (^b;) if thou hadst never so much sorrow, and inherent grace, thou must be justified by the merits of Christ alone^c and if thou hast but so much as is true and sincere, thou art justified, and shalt be^d saved. Set thy Faith on work therefore, to lay hold upon Christ, and Faith will suck strength from Christ, as the child doth cleave to the Mother by the navel, and receive nourishment from her; a twig that is shaken by every wind, yet tied to the body of a tree, it standeth fast; eye thy sin to cast thee down, and Christs Righteousness to raise thee up.
