That which we have now to do is to show what rest is to be had in Christ against this fourth burden. Come to me (saith Christ) all you who are sensible of the corruption of your heart, and find the remainder of sin that is in your heart to be a burden, come to me, & I will give you rest against that. We are not now to speak of the rest in deliverance from the trouble of soul in the sense of the guilt of sin, that was before spoke of, but now we are to speak of the rest, in giving power against the remainder of corruption that there is in the heart. This rest is the rest of Sanctification that here we are to speak of, I will give you rest. And in this point there are a great many of ⟨p. 292⟩useful and sweet things, that might require very large handling, but I shall endeavour as much as I can to contract all within a few things for this rest of Sanctification.
