you that go to God every day in seeking pardon of sin; have you been apprehensive of the greatness of it; Hath God showed you the greatness of his work in it? or further, since the time that you have heard of the greatness of the work; have you been casting in your souls how to get an answerable disposition suitable to these Divine Truths? Certainly, so far as you are wanting in that, so far you art short of sanctifying Gods Name; and for time to come, this must be the great work of your souls, to get answerable dispositions in seeking pardon of sin, that may be suitable to the great work of God in it; if one that comes to seek to you, to Petition you to remove some evil one that hath offended you, if he come slightly, you will say, you must come after another manner; Shall a poor man or woman expect such a kind of coming from a Child, Servant, or Inferior; and yet ⟨p. 92⟩shall he or she go in a senseless way to God in seeking pardon of sin, and think to obtain it thus? you go about it unsensibly, and your hearts are not stirred, but when Christ came he was sensible of it, in seeking to God about this business, Heb. 5.7. — In the days of his flesh, observe, Christ in the days of his flesh, did offer up Prayers and Supplications; How? with strong cryings and tears, What? shall Christ be so sensible of the weight and burden of sin, when he was to suffer, that he should seek the Father with such Prayers? if he had said but one word, it had been a Prayer; but he sought him with Prayers, and Prayers with cries and supplications; and not only so, but with strong cries and tears: let thy heart be rebuked this day for the senselessness of it, in going to God in such a slight manner in seeking pardon of thy sins.

Certainly, so far as you are wanting in that, so far you art short of sanctifying Gods Name; and for time to come, this must be the great work of your souls, to get answerable dispositions in seeking pardon of sin, that may be sutable to the great work of God in it; if one that comes to seek to you, to Petition you to remove some evil one that hath offended you, if he come slightly, you will say, you must come after another manner; Shall a poor man or woman expect such a kind of coming from a Child, Servant, or Inferiour; and yet
