Ye know his words, The Lord God hath given me the Tongue of the Learned (says he) that I may speak a word in due season to him that is weary. Go then to Christ, and press this engagement, and say, Lord, thou hast therefore received the Tongue of the Learned, that thou mayest speak a word in due season to him that is weary. And O Lord, I am one of those wearied souls; wearied with my Temptations, wearied with inward trouble; now Lord speak a word in due season to this poor, wounded, and wearied soul. Thus go to Christ.

Only in your Addresses to Christ; Be sure that ye go in Uprightness. Take heed that you do not desire peace merely for the comfort of it, but as an help unto your Grace: He will give Grace and Glory, and no good thing will he with-hold from him that walks uprightly. Good men seek Peace for Grace sake; but wicked men, and Hypocrites, seek Grace for Peace sake. When you do make your Addresses for Peace, be sure you come to Christ in uprightness; and take heed that you do not desire peace only for the Comfort of it, but as an help unto your Grace.
