[one] case thus thoroughly resolved will be singularly useful for the scattering of all future doubts in all other cases: And though this may prove a business of time, yet suspend your actingq till you are satisfied: though the duty in question be of greatest moment, yet while you can approve your heart unto God, that 'tis neither love of sin nor ease, 'tis neither slighting of Christ nor duty, but a restless inquisitiveness to know Gods mind in the case, your suspense (at the worst) will be reckoned among your infirmities, and be compassionately overlooked. Can there be any thing of greater moment, than to doubt of Christs resurrection? yet while Thomas rdoubted merely for want of evidence, Christ graciously condescends in a non-such manner to give him satisfaction. To conclude this, whereto sye have already attained, walk by rule exactly, and if in any thing you be doubtfully minded, God shall reveal even this unto you.
