CHAP. III.
The Burden under Sin, laid open in nine Particulars. 1. When the Soul not only apprehendeth, but is sensible of the Evil of Sin in the reality of it. 2. Finds all the comfort that did attend Sin before to vanish and come to nothing. 3. Looks upon it self as loathsome, and is in Some measure bowed to God. 4. Trembles at the least thoughts and Temptations to Sin. 5. Feel Sin heaviest, where it is indeed heaviest. 6. Feels the weight of Sin to be such, as that no Creature is able to remove it. 7. Had rather be under any burden, then the burden of Sin. 8. Doth notwithstanding the weight thereof, justify God. 9. Doth not lie sullenly, and despair under it, but attend for direction from God, how it may be freed there from.

Now you that are Burdened with Sin, and labour under this; you are those that Christ calls to himself to come to him that you may have rest unto your Souls.
