Again, It is for comfort to the godly, what though Satan, thy own heart, and the world doth condemn thee? yet if God Justify, thou mayest rejoice; you see Rom. 8. what a challenge Paul there makes, Who shall lay any thing to the charge of Gods elect? it is God that Justifieth. Who shall charge any thing? The devil, thy own heart, can lay much pride, hypocrisy, sloth fullness to thy charge: it is true, but God through Christ doth Justify. What a Cordial and reviver would it be to Gods people, to live in the power of this gift bestowed upon them? it is God that justifieth thee, O my troubled soul! who can then condemn? who can hinder it, or invalidate it? Certainly we are therefore in dejections, despondencies, and perplexities often, because we drink not of this water ⟨p. 12⟩of life. Lay and apply this excellent Doctrine to thy fainting dying soul, and it will become to it, like Elisha applying himself to the dead child, cause spirit and life again to return to him; right thoughts here, will sweeten all thoughts in other things.
