'tis not the clamours and talking of other men that will make you quit your hold, or satisfy you that it was never rightly yours: But let the Devil come and clamour against your souls, and you are ready to join with him, and say, it is so indeed, I am an hypocrite, and I have no true grace nor spiritual life, my soul is under the curse of the Law and dominion of Sin still: how unworthy do you carry it to the blessed Spirit of God, and all the grace and goodness of God that has been manifested and made known unto you concerning the pardon of your sins? How unbefitting is it that on every clamour of Satan, and stirring of corruptions in your own hearts, that you should raze the foundation of all your comforts by calling all the work of God presently into question: Many a poor creature, that finds by Evidences out of the Word that their estate is good, they go away cheerful, but if the next day there be any stirrings of corruption, they let go all, and raze the foundation of all their comforts: walk not so unworthy of the grace of God, depend upon the Word, as for your troubles, so for your comforts; as you are not comforted with any thing but from what the Word of God speaks to you, so be discouraged with nothing, but where you find the Word of God against you.
