he looks upon bosom sins as the great make-bates between God and his soul, and between his conscience and his comfort;1 he looks upon bosom sins as those enemies that have provoked God often ⟨p. 170⟩to turn a deaf ear to all his prayers; he looks upon his bosom sins as so many Judas's that have often betrayed him into the hands of the devil; he looks upon his bosom sins as the waters of Marah, that has embittered all his mercies; he looks upon his bosom sins as the only things that have often clouded the face of God; he looks upon his bosom sins as dead flies in the box of precious ointment that spoils all, and accordingly with all his might he sets himself against them. 1. He fights most against these. 2. He weeps most over these. 3. He watches and a•ms most against these. 4. He prays most against these. 5. He resolves most against these. And 6. He lays the axe of repentance most to these, &c.
