And therefore when a little crevice of light appears, when God doth but begin to look towards us, as he did upon Peter, let us weep bitterly, that ever we should sin against such a God. When a Cart is in a quagmire, if the Horses find it coming, they will pull the harder. God is now drawing near to us in mercy, we have been in a deep-quagmire, like Jeremiah in his Dungeon, and God is beginning to pull us out. O let the free mercy of God, and his unparalleled love, break our hearts for, and from sin.

When a Cart is in a quagmire, if the Horses find it comming, they will pull the harder. God is now drawing neere to us in mercy, we have been in a deepe-quagmire, like Jeremy in his Dungeon, and God is beginning to pull us out. O let the free mercy of God, and his unparalleld love, breake our hearts for, and from sinne.
