My Brethren, it's a great mercy of God to take mens 1spirits off from all their vain shifts and hopes, so as to be throughly convinced that there's no help in any thing, in the creature, in Heaven and Earth, but only in my turning to God, and casting my soul down before Mercy; if that saves me not; I am undone for ever: when the heart comes to this, (I say) God is in a gracious and merciful way working, I see my sin, my affliction that is upon me, and feel it, though my heart would be shifting this way and that way, yet God hath convinced me, nothing can do me good, but I am lost and undone, what ever course I take, except I return to God, and humble my soul before him, and seek his face, and obtain mercy from him
