Here is now room for fears of being cast away. Now I see I am lost, says the sinner; This is not coming to Jesus Christ, says the sinner; such a desperate hard, and wretched heart as mine is, cannot be a gracious one, saith the sinner: And bid such an one be Better; he says, I cannot, no I cannot.

Quest. But what will you say to a Soul in this condition?

There is a man of an ill-favoured countenance, who hath too high a conceit of his beauty; and wanting the benefit of a glass, he still stands in his own conceit; at last a Limner is sent unto him, who draweth his ill-favoured face to the life: now looking thereon, he begins to be convinced that he is not half so handsome, as he thought he was. Coming sinner, thy Temptations are these painters, they have drawn out thy ill-favoured heart to the life, and have set it before thine eyes, and now thou seest how ill favoured thou art.
