When we give assent to common truths, but not with a common spirit, but in the strength of an inward conviction, we assent to it upon the account of an unction that we have received from the Holy One; and we ⟨p. 120⟩assent to this and that truth upon the account of a divine authority which we see to be stamped upon it, and withal we find that there are suitable workings of our heart in the loves and desires and delights of them to these truths (as there will be a kindly working of the heart, where there is a right assent suitable to the truths assented to) as, If there be a threatening, the Soul assents to it, and will tremble before God: If a promise be made, or a Gospel-revelation, it will be accompanied with a holy rejoicing in God, that ever he should make such a Promise or Revelation; and then there will be a holy resolution of spirit, Come what will come, I will never part with this truth. I have bought the truth, that was my duty; and having bought it, I will never sell it, that is my duty too: Can we give such an account as this? But then withal let me a little further improve that which I have already spoken from the Chapter.
