THE fifth Direction. Labour to have a lively feeling on thy heart, of the evil and weight of that sin which thou art guilty of, and of the misery into which it hath brought thee, and would further bring thee if thou be not delivered, and so to feel the need of a Deliverer. This must prepare thee to partake of Christ now: and if thou partake not of him now▪ thou canst not be saved by him Then. It is these souls that now make light of their sin and misery, that must then feel them so heavy, as to be pressed by them into the infernal flames. And those that now feel ⟨p. 267⟩little need of a Saviour, they shall then have none to save them, when they feel their need.
THE sixth Direction. Understand and Believe the sufficiency of that Ransom and Satisfaction to Justice, which Christ hath made for thy sins and for the world, and how freely and universally it is offered in the Gospel. Thy sin is not uncurable or unpardonable, nor thy misery remediless: God hath provided a remedy in his Son Christ, and brought it so near thy hands, that nothing but thy neglecting, or wilful refusing it, can deprive thee of the Benefit. Settle thy soul in this belief.
