But I say, the Soul should be often inquiring how things stand between God, and it; Are the terms right between God and my soul? Am I at peace with him, or am I not? if not, how can I sleep? how can I go about my business, and God be an enemy to me? And if I do go about my business, it is a sign of a bold, and presumptuous heart to go up and down merrily, and quietly, and yet this great question, how terms are between God, and my soul comes not to be determined of. Would you then know whether indeed the terms are good, and right, and peaceable between God, and you?
